Synopsis

When Willow Stone discovers that she is in competition with the exotic and worldly Molina for the coveted position of sex advice columnist, she realizes it’s time to up her game. Though she has impeccable writing skills, there’s no denying that a lifetime of being the good girl has left her ill prepared for this position. Realizing it’s her lack of experience that will keep her from achieving this dream, she decides to proposition the bad boy who once lived in her college dorm that always had a stream of women doing the walk of shame from his room on a nearly nightly basis. Surely someone that shallow, that experienced, and that wildly attractive could teach her a thing or twenty.

Only Wyatt has his own plans, and they don’t allow much time for teaching Willow what she would already know if she could just break free of the cool, calculating, proper demeanor that was part of being a Stone. His reputation has served him well through the years and being the black sheep of his family has never bothered him. What does, however, is Willow. She is a mystery to unravel, a present to be cherished, a young woman who just might rock his world by bringing him back into his family’s fold. She was everything they wanted for him and precisely what he had avoided since he started dating.

What will happen when the good girl gets mixed up with the bad boy?

Review

The good girl follows Willow and Wyatt as they work together to complete the sexual bucket list. Willow is the inexperienced girl that needs experience and knowledge in order to get a journalism job as a sex columnist and Wyatt comes across as the typical bad boy who loves them and leaves them. We learn that there is so much more to both of these characters.

Willow has been raised a certain way because of who her parents are, she is expected to behave a certain way and do things in the correct manner. At times you see the mask slip with her, especially when Wyatt is around. Wyatt helps Willow break down some of the barriers she puts up, he helps her be the person that she really is. Wyatt may seem like the bad boy, but he is actually a caring person who much like Willow wants to break away from the way that he is expected to behave.

Willow and Wyatt navigate their way through the list, giving Willow the insight that she needs to help her get the job. However neither of them accounted for the fact that staying together for the duration of the list would lead to feelings on either part. Wyatt seems to not be able to talk about his feelings, while Willow tries her best not to read too much into the situation between them.

Having some outside advice, can the two of them get their acts together and finally confess all? Or will they just continue to navigate the list and leave it as that? You will have to read this book to find out.

I really enjoyed getting to know Willow and Wyatt in this book, they have the relationship that goes from hardly knowing each other, to friends, to maybe more. Well done Emma Nichols on a brilliant read.

“You…amaze me. You really are a good girl. And I mean that in the best way.”
