{Waiting On} Bad Boy by Leah Raeder (88)

The latest from groundbreaking author Leah Raeder is a dark, sexy romantic thriller written in her signature provocative style, which has been praised as “dizzingly intense…an exhilarating ride for our inner underdog” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) and “compelling and unnerving” (Booklist).

Very few mainstream authors have garnered the devoted following that USA TODAY bestselling author Leah Raeder has earned by pushing the boundaries of romantic suspense. Her carefully rendered “anti-heroines” buck norms, immersing you in a gritty world of sexual fluidity, drugs, and revenge, told with exquisite language and candor that turns the romance genre on its head and leaves readers begging for more.

Her latest novel is a tightly plotted adventure that follows closely on the heels of her acclaimed novels Unteachable—“lush, haunting prose, deft storytelling, and scorching sensuality” (M. Pierce)—the “intense and visceral” (Lauren Blakely) Black Iris, and the highly anticipated Cam Girl, and is sure to keep you reading late into the night.
