“I need him like a bad habit—one that I don’t want to kick.”
Ooh la la!! If you crave an UBER ANGSTY best friend’s baby sister tale featuring a smoking hot, angry AF hero, and a sweet, hopelessly smitten good girl who loves said broody bad boy with her whole heart and soul, then feed your addiction with BAD HABIT by Charleigh Rose! I swear I fall harder in love with Charleigh Rose’s writing with each new book she publishes, and GAH does this INTOXICATING older brother’s best friend saga strike a chord!!
This edgy New Adult novel was a delectable fusion of tortured young love, gut-wrenching angst, and blissful passion with FIERY DISCORD and DRAMA GALORE!!!!! Briar and Asher exude so much combustible chemistry it literally POURS off the page, and their connection is so beautiful and soul deep, ugly and raw and unfiltered that it’s evident from the onset that these two are just MADE for each other! Even when they are too stubborn to admit it. There is an emotional depth and complexity to this forbidden love tale that is absolutely mind-blowing…and the sex scenes? Yowza! They are so scorching hot, and scintillatingly choreographed, they made me tingle from head to toe!
BAD HABIT was masterfully crafted. Through a series of well-timed flashbacks juxtaposed with the present story, Charleigh Rose flawlessly captured the raw, aching emotion and the bittersweet poignancy of young love, whilst flawlessly exploring the powerful themes of forbidden lust, betrayal, mistrust, lost innocence, the arduous bonds of family and friendship, and, finally, the healing power of forgiveness.
This is the kind of all-consuming story that hooks you from PAGE ONE, and I was so fixated on this couple I could BARELY BREATHE through some scenes. From start to finish, I had a huge lump in my throat, a massive ache in my chest and I yearned desperately for this couple, who cannot quit each other no matter how hard they try, to find their way back together! And the central story is bolstered by a colorful cast of supporting characters that added wonderful levity to this tale.
I LOVED Asher! He possesses a quiet, smoldering James Dean-esque intensity –the ultimate bad boy hero with a heart of gold. He can be sweet, chivalrous, fiercely protective, sinfully sexy and gruffly tender…and when his Alpha caveman comes out you WILL need a spare change of panties! But sheesh…he sure has a nasty side to him too! In fact, he is so hot-tempered, crude, callous and cruel at times, he leaves you spitting mad. But SOB! It’s hard to hold a grudge because he still bears the scars of a traumatic childhood and is just so hurt and damaged and profoundly lost you can’t help but want to hold him, love him, fix him!
The object of his wrath--and his greatest weakness--is his best friend Dash’s baby sister! He loves Briar even when he hates her. She is the one addiction he can't break and vice versa. And speaking of Briar…wow! What a sweet, endearing, utterly EXTRAORDINARY heroine. I cherished her big, beautiful heart, her purity of soul, her deep, abiding love for the boy whom she's been infatuated with forever! Even though Asher has changed drastically since they’ve been apart and inexplicably treats her with such biting contempt at first it cuts her to the core—she always sees the good in him and he is the only guy who makes her heart beat faster!
It's hard to read a book like this and emerge unscathed. Throughout the course of this emotionally charged romance, in between stolen kisses and angry, heated exchanges, these two slowly but surely strip each other bare and bring one another to the height of rapturous pleasure and the depth of agonizing, crushing despair. Finally culminating in a huge emotional reckoning that decimates!!!! But when all is said and done, after Charleigh Rose shatters my heart to smithereens but then ever so miraculously fuses all the broken shards together again, I am left rejoicing in the fact that true love, in its purest, most brutally honest form, is SO WORTH THE FIGHT!
FINAL IMPRESSIONS:
BAD HABIT is one wildly addictive read I oh so happily succumbed to! So if you crave a DELICIOUS coming of age tale with red-hot passion, swoony feels and a tear-jerker HEA that leaves you breathless, then get your next fix with this WONDEROUS romance!

🌸BOOK REVIEW🌸SPOILER FREE🌸Book: Bad HabitAuthor: Charleigh RoseGenre: Erotica RomanceMy Rating: 3 StarsSpice Level: Medium-HighTropes: Brother’s Best Friend, Age Gap, Close ProximityDescriptives: The couples conflicts could’ve easily been resolved with a single conversation, that was why I selected 3 stars. At 66% in there were already around 5 spicy scenes and I wished I had a little more plot.Did it keep my attention? Mostly.Was it easy to read and flowed smoothly? Yes.Would I buy the print copy? (If it was a Kindle Read) No.Would I re-read this book again in the future? No.Would I recommend this book to others? No.My Rating Scale:5 Stars: Excellent Book. Would highly recommend to others. I would buy the physical book. I would also re-read this book in the future. I would post about this book recommending it on social media.4 Stars: Great Book. Would recommend to others. I would consider buying the print copy and re-read in the future if it belonged to a series.3 Stars: Good Book. Didn’t quite hit the mark. Not something I would want to read again in the future. Not something I would recommend to others.2 Stars: Poor Book. Two stars are saved for the books with great unique ideas but it was poorly executed and hard to read.1 Star: Very Poor Book. Over-used ideas. Poor Writing. Boring. No Plot.About this Reader:I have few triggers.My favorite genre is Fantasy Romance.I prefer books with low spice levels and plot-heavy.I look for a good slow burn and not instant-love.I rate books on how well they entertained me.-Liz ilovefantasyromancebooks
