Repeat after me: stay away from the hot girl.
The beautiful girl.
The f**king ray of sunshine in the middle of your delivery route.

Layla Barros is everything I never knew I wanted. Everything I’ll never have.

She’s an innocent young student.
I’m a convicted felon.

She’s rich girl from a nice family.
I’ve got nothing but a broken home.

But if I’m an addict, she’s my drug. I can’t stay away, even though I know I’ll ruin her in the end.

She might be the girl of my dreams, but I was always a bad idea.

What an amazing story. One where everyone can relate to either main character! The heartache and longing you experience while reading this story leaves you breathe less and eager to get to the next page. The ending is not at all what I expected and let me biting my nails onto the cliffhanger it ends with! Oh well, guess I have to just buy book 2 🥰

Nicole French write impeccable novels. She has the ability to make you care for her beautifully constructed characters. Not only do her stories carry you along but she makes reading a pleasure. No glaring grammatical errors and poorly constructed sentences. Love everything I’ve read to date.

Very Slow Burn

Reviewed in Australia on 20 October 2023

I listened to the audible while reading; unfortunately what the narrators read aloud, didn’t match what I was reading in the book; very disappointing.

I would’ve been better off just listening to the audible OR just reading the book- not both.

I liked the Catholic & cultural aspects throughout the book though. I was able to slowly immerse myself into the book.

The synopsis I read online stated; this book was a spicy book- it definitely wasn’t. It definitely needed more spice in the beginning & needed WAY more s*x scenes.

Would only bother reading book 2 or 3 if I didn’t have anything else to read.

Have you ever read a book that even after reading it you’re still thinking about it, wondering how things are going to turn out. That’s what Bad Idea has me doing. I honestly can’t wait for the next book, Lost Ones, to be released. Thankfully March 14th isn’t too far off. Being the first book of Mrs. French’s that I’ve read, I must say she did an excellent job drawing me into Layla and Nico’s story and making me care for the two characters.
I felt so many emotions while reading this book. I was happy and hopeful for the two one moment and then my heart was breaking for them in the next. The constant struggle to defend each other to their family and friends was frustrating. The inner turmoil Layla and Nico grapple with is saddening. I admired Nico for being the glue that held his family together and trying to give them the best life he possibly could. I loved Nico and Layla together. Their love for each other is totally apparent but the timing for their relationship is off. The odds seem to be stacked against them but I’m holding out hope that they’ll find their way back to each other and overcome everything keeping them apart.

I had my heart almost burst with sweetness and hope

Reviewed in Canada on 17 June 2018

I had my heart almost burst with sweetness and hope, then I had it ripped out before some band-aids were put on it. And then Ms. French just left the band-aids there, slowly coming apart. It was a roller coaster of emotions and there is not possible way to explain the emotion journey it took me through. Powerful and deep, this has quickly become one of my favourites, despite my hesitation when it comes to angst. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! The characters are deep and we get a look into who they are separate from Nick and Layla as a couple, which only makes them more real and believable. Their story is one of love and loss intermingled with hope and selflessness. Can't wait to read the next one!

Nicole French is the MASTER of writing intricately woven angst, steam, sizzle, and sweetness!!!

Reviewed in the United States on 10 November 2017

Bad Idea is the first book I have read by author Nicole French. I could not have possibly loved this book more. In fact, I would say that to date in 2017, Bad Idea is without question my favorite book of the year.

Bad Idea is a story about extraordinarily beautiful Layla Barros, a 19-year old college student at NYU. Having fought a long and hard battle to even attend NYU, Layla has is forced to get a part-time job to afford everything except basic tuition costs - the only thing her affluent parents are willing to help her with. Like most things that happen in life, good things come when you are least expecting it. Layla knew Nico Soltero was all wrong for her. I mean, he was the wrong age, had the wrong education and job. Basically the wrong everything. Yet, the connection between them was palatable to everyone within a three-block radius in New York City! Yet love is never easy or convenient and Layla and Nico will have to make life-altering decisions...The only question that remains is will they make them together or apart?

I loved this book for so many reasons. First and foremost, the characters of Layla and Nico stole my heart right from the start...which coincidentally was how quickly I got sucked into this story. Bad Idea's characters and plot were both extremely well developed. There was nothing simple about this storyline at all. Both characters have had to work for everything their whole lives, and that doesn't end just because their hearts have found one another. Also, as the story is told with duel perspectives, we, the audience understand so much more about both Layla and Nico. They were written so well that at times, you actually felt their emotions. Throughout this book, I would have goosebumps! Another point in this books favor, the dialogue! The dialogue keeps the story progressing without any lulls and helps tie you emotionally to both the storyline and it's characters.

Nicole French stood out as a true master! The intricately woven steam, sizzle, sweetness and angst left me literally shaking off and on throughout the story. Nico is passionate and very deep. He is also extremely sexual in a way that Layla has never experienced before. The heat in this book is intense, and it just seems to build and build. Trust me, this is seriously the signs of a skilled romance author...I mean, sometimes sex, making love, and doing the downright dirty is a very, very fine line.

I really hated leaving Bad Idea's with a mere 5 stars. It deserves so much more. I was so captivated by the story and I know other readers will be too!!!

I could not put this book down. It had absolutely everything that I love in a book- amazing characters who ooze chemistry, a plot that is different , twisting and keeps me hooked until the last page and cleverly written dialogue. This had all of that.

It honestly will go in my top 5 of favourite books. Can't wait for book 2.

It started as a banal story line but slowly transformed into an interesting one. Layla’s character is intriguing and the author has crafted it quite masterfully. Liked the read.
