Publisher Description
The last thing I expected from this Bad Bachelor was a second chance at love…
I thought I had my whole life figured out…until my fiancé left me when his career took off. To add insult to injury, he turned up on the society pages with a woman wearing a rock of an engagement ring as if I'd never existed at all. There was only one thing to do…use my brains to build an app warning every woman in the city about my garbage ex and make it robust enough for women everywhere to "rate" the losers and heartbreakers who had done them wrong.
Genius, right?
Until my ex came crawling back looking to make up for his past mistakes claiming he was a changed man and would do anything to prove it. Including seduce me. What am I supposed to do with this guy now? Especially once he finds out I'm the one who invented the Bad Bachelor app in the first place.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
London wraps up her Bad Bachelors trilogy (Bad Reputation) with the delightful story of the Manhattanite who founded the controversial Bad Bachelors app. Annie Maxwell's world was rocked when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, and her almost-fianc (she saw the ring in his sock drawer) dumped her after she decided not to follow him to a high-profile new job in Singapore. Three years later, Annie's secretly helming Bad Bachelors, the internet's favorite place to check out the behavior of single men in New York City. When Joseph Preston, chief information officer for a global bank, returns to Manhattan, he literally runs into his ex, Annie, in Central Park, and immediately begins his plan to win her back. After Annie starts to receive threatening messages from an incensed man who calls himself Mr. Justice, Joseph steps in to help protect her safety but he can't protect his heart. London spins a multilayered tale that any woman who's navigated the dating scene can empathize with and introduces an appealingly gutsy heroine who doesn't wait for Prince Charming to rescue her. Romance readers will fall in love with Annie's colorful Italian family, and cheer for her to reunite with Joseph.
Customer Reviews
Joseph, This Is For You...
Annie Maxwell was living the dream. She had an amazing boyfriend, a loving family, and was planning on moving to Singapore with her “almost” fiancé. But life had other plans. When Annie’s mom is diagnosed with cancer, she feels as though she needs to stay behind and be with her family through this difficult time. So Annie makes the difficult decision to not follow her dreams or at the very least, put them on hold in order to support her mom through treatment. What she doesn’t do, is discuss possible options with Joe.
Joe Preston, the only child of a wealthy family, has lived his life trying to prove himself. All he’s ever wanted was his father’s approval, his parent’s love. So Joe allows his dad to manipulate him into accepting the job in Singapore as a steppingstone to further his career. Without Annie by his side, Joe gets caught up in the parties and things that he despises in the corporate world. After three miserable years, Joe accepts a job as the youngest CIO for a major banking institution in NYC. Joe moves back to NYC with hopes of making things right with Annie and her family. He just didn’t expect to “run” into her so soon.
Bad Influence is absolutely the best novel in the series! Although this novel can be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading this series in order. After witnessing her best friends heartbreaks and experiencing her own devastating breakup, Annie decides to do something to help her fellow women. Annie anonymously designs The Bad Bachelor app where women can rate, review their dates. It was never meant to harm anyone, but it does. With a stalker claiming to reveal her identity, Annie contacts Joseph for help. Will Joe be able to keep Annie safe while trying to convince her he’s her One True Love?
Loved it, loved it, loved it! This story is about forgiveness, setting your hurt aside and allowing yourself a chance at true love. It’s about second chances and redemption. It’s about best friends, who may not always agree with each other and go weeks without speaking to each other, but ultimately KNOW they have each other’s backs. Best ending ever! I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.
