I have been really looking forward to getting Bad Boys Ahoy!, which got me thinking on the whole Bad Boy thang. I know I have talked a little about Brava and their Bad Boys, you can find many of their authors at the Brava Authors home page. But I did a lil digging around, which one thing led to another led to another – and poof we have a link happy post.
From what I can tell, these aren’t guidelines for the books about BAD BOYS but it seems more of a ‘brand name’. You can submit any type of book, but it has to be very sensual. So the hero doesn’t have to fit a role of a bad man. I am thinking ‘wicked women’ is the same thing, but that is a different post ;).
I think I have all of the books that are out here, along with the ones coming out this year that I found info on. Feel free to jump in if you know of any others. Or if you have submitted a BB book to brava, tell us about it. Is her a hero a bad man? This is a very link happy post, so let me know if something doesn’t go where it should, hee if anyone is interested in this besides me :).
It looks like I only did one combo review but am going to do more! I might keep mixing and matching… I am not sure. Unless it is an ARC than I will review the whole book at once.
on with the books:

not much info other than it comes out in SEPT 06 but I did find this lil bit off the Vamps and Scaps blog from Dianne Castell

oooooohhhhhhhhh it isn’t fair I tell you it just isn’t fair! I want! Oh the cover and a lil more info is at DC site – hit the title of the book or her name.
UNTITLED BAD BOYS
by HelenKay Dimon
Kensington Brava, 2007
Three bad boys. Three house rehab projects. Oh, those men and their tools…
no title yet, put really who can resist bad boys playing with their tools 😉
And I guess this summer’s Bad Boys title is going to be in hardback. Yuck.
Maybe….
They do typo trades as hardback sometimes. And it is still only 14! So hopefully not.
Let’s see,
I have I <3 BB and BBBB, but haven't read it
I didn’t finish IBFBB
I read BBonB, BBTG, BBiBT, BBO, BBwET, and RUBB
I want BBB, BBA, BBSS, WGTHTBB and VLBB.
Amazing that there’s no overlap in acronyms! lol
I wanted to read this series. Looks like I’ve got my work cut out…
Heh, I think she just managed to list all the Lori Foster anthologies I have yet to get to complete her backlist.
I wish.
Interesting list, though, which I shall analyze in more detail later (BG). And hey, I’m currently reading GOOD GIRLS DO by Cathie Linz and, yes, there’s definitely a bad boy in it.
I posted in my blog that I couldn’t remember what I’d read by her before but since I’m really enjoying GGD, so I may have to go to my trade shelf and see what is still there by her. Seems I may have missed out on something. (BG)
Jay: hee then they didn’t do any BS 🙂
Shelia: Nice to see you! Yes I think everyone should read at least one bad boy book! Looks like you have a review on The Demon’s Daughter coming up. Likey? I really need to pull that one out and read it. Looks like we are even getting a sequel.
Bev: LOL shows how tired I was of linking… I didn’t even check her back list to make sure I got them all. I checked Amazon, googled BAD BOY, BAD BOY Brava, and Kate Duffy Brava, scoped out the brava author sites and checked some of the resent author’s pages. I sqeeee’ed when I find Texas Bad Boy’s!
Which jay so needs to add to her list 😉
