Bad Influence (Bad Bachelors Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Stefanie London (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 120 ratings
Editors' pick Best Romance

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.

The thrilling and emotional conclusion to Stefanie London's Bad Bachelors:

"Sizzling, sexy, and so much fun!"—SARAH MORGAN, USA Today bestselling author

"Wonderfully witty and achingly romantic. An absolute must-read."—LAUREN LAYNE, New York Times bestselling author

"Elegant, descriptive, and delectable."—RT Book Reviews, Top Pick, 4.5 Stars

    As the anonymous creator of the website Bad Bachelors, Annie is both heroine and villain. When her first and only love enters her life again, her world dives into a tailspin. Joseph makes her question everything, including her part in their ruined romance. This is a sweet story about two people who think they've realized their dreams, only to discover that their lives are not fulfilling.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Annie redeemed herself by the end, but too little too late for me
    Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2019
    So I despised Annie before I even read this book. She came off as a very uncaring friend in the last two books and after the last book, it was kind of the last straw with her. But, I still decided to read this book even though I had no clue how Annie would redeem herself.

    We find out why Annie started Bad Bachelors, we see how much she regretted putting her business over her friendships with Remi & Darcy and we find out why her 6 year relationship with Joe ended. Honestly, I didn't get the whole breakup. I would have stayed just like Annie did if my mom was diagnosed with cancer. But at the same time, the fact that she didn't bother talking this through with Joe before she told the rest of her family was just wrong. Joe was too eager to please his dad and make his dad love him and that didn't help. A lack of communication was key to that breakup and they were both to blame. So I got both sides, but despite all that, I think Joe should have stayed or at least figured out some way to make it work instead of just throwing 6 years away, moving to Singapore and a year later getting engaged to someone else. I didn't respect him for that decision, but I also didn't think Annie fought hard enough. They were both immature at that point in their life it seemed.

    But fast forward 3 years and Joe is back in NY, Annie is still running Bad Bachelors, but now she's also dealing with a stalker out to ruin her once he finds out her identity. They literally run into each other (was pretty funny) and that begins their path to a second chance at a relationship. Their rekindling of the relationship wasn't what I expected. Annie was standoffish and Joe wasn't willing to put his heart on the line for someone who only wanted him temporarily. I respected Joe a lot when he walked away and made her decide what she wanted. But at the same time, he also made sure to protect her and make sure she was safe from the hacker. Had to give him props for that and sticking to his guns.

    Annie just annoyed me in this one until the very end where she turns things around and decides Bad Bachelors is not worth the heartache it causes for her, the ones she loves and the people of NY. She was too caught up in her own head once again. If she had turned things around earlier on in the book, maybe I could have given this book a higher rating, but she just took too long to redeem herself in my opinion.

    Joe on the other hand, I liked him for the most part. He obviously realized he made a mistake by leaving her and then getting engaged to another woman in Singapore. He at least realized and tried to atone for her mistakes early on in the book. And he finally stood up to his parents!

    What ever happened to the hacker once the identity was revealed? Things just kind of got quite about that - I would have liked to hear more, at least a follow-up.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great ending to the series!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2019
    I have very much enjoyed the Bad Bachelors series, and it’s bittersweet to be finally reading the last book. I have quite the thing for second chance romances, and reading about Annie, the creator of the Bad Bachelors app, and Joe, its inspiration, meeting again was absolute perfection. This is the third in the series, and while I think it could be read as a standalone, I think you’d miss some of the emotional impact if you haven’t read the rest of the series.

    Three years ago, Annie was forced to make a choice. Go to Singapore as planned with her boyfriend, Joe, or stay in NYC with her mother, who was recently diagnosed with cancer. You can probably guess which she chose, and the resulting fallout led Annie to create the Bad Bachelors app, where women can rate and review their dates. Things have gotten a bit more out of control than Annie intended, and not only does Annie have to deal with threats against her due to the app, but Joe is also back in town, which she knows courtesy of a meet-disaster. Their attraction is still there, but is there any hope of mending the fractured relationship between them?

    “I should have let you know I was coming home.”
    “No.” She whirled around to face him, heat racing through her veins. “You shouldn’t have left in the first place. Then you wouldn’t have had to tell me you were coming home because you’d already be home.”

    Annie is well-rooted in NYC, Manhattan where she lives now and Brooklyn were her family is. While self-sufficient, she’s part of a loving and rambunctious family that always has her back, and I loved them all. Joe’s relationship with his family is, well, dysfunctional. They don’t show affection, and part of taking the Singapore job – part of his ambitious nature – was to, hopefully, earn his father’s admiration (hint: it didn’t). While it broke Joe’s heart to leave Annie, his family had little sympathy for that as they always viewed her and her poor roots as a bad influence on him. For a good portion of the book I didn’t like Joe – what kind of hero leaves the woman he loves to deal with her mom’s cancer alone??? – but as we gradually came to understand more about his background and the events that led to the breakup, things made a lot more sense.

    “Right then, it was like being in an alternate reality. One where he’d never left, where she’d never let her fear push him away. Where they had both been more mature and better equipped to deal with the curveballs that life had thrown them. Where they were exactly where they were supposed to be—together.”

    I love second chance romances, and, besides the possibility of a do-over, which I think everyone wishes they have, I like how many times it becomes obvious that being apart has given both characters the opportunity to become better versions of themselves, people they couldn’t have been without that breakup. The root of their breakup was bad communication, and while I don’t generally like “one conversation would’ve fixed everything” books, this goes a bit deeper than that. While initially it feels like the blame should be on Joe for making her chose between going with him to Singapore or staying with her newly-diagnosed-with-cancer mom, it’s actually more nuanced. Joe’s issue is that she made her decision without his input. By the time she broaches the subject with him, there’s nothing left to discuss, and he feels like she’ll always put her family above him, while she had always been the first priority in his life. Without going into spoilers, this isn’t exactly true, though. While there’s been a lot of hurt on both sides, there’s also a decent amount of groveling (and Joe recognizes his actions hurt more than just Annie).

    Overall, while I was initially out off by the hero, I found this a very satisfying conclusion to the series. While the first in the series is still my favorite, I’d recommend this one to any fan of contemporary romance who loves second chances!

    I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
