A super fun erotic romance. Perfect for the romance reader who wants a bit more, but doesn't want to go over the edge. The characters will draw the reader in quickly.

If all girls could be so lucky to have someone like Nico in their lives! A deal was made - a little tit for tat, and let the games begin! There was no way that these two were going to be able to keep their hands off one another. Steamy is an understatement. It's nice to see a heroine ask for what she wants, and man willing to step and deliver (and then some). The story that unfolds has a few twists and turns, but makes for a more interesting read. In the end, you can't help but to fall in love with Emma and Nico and root for them every step of the way, even if sometimes they just get in their own way.

5 HOT NICO STARS!! Wow, can you say HOT and SEXY!! The story heated my kindle up and full of emotions. Carmen Falcone is the queen of turning up the heat and keeping a fabulous storyline. Nico and Emma story will keep you turning pages. I highly recommend this book.

Fast-paced fun and steamy. Emma wants to win back her ex and believes Nico is just the man to help her. Nico is her brother’s best friend and is reluctant at first but also wants something from Emma. Will they both get more than they planned. Lots of steam and a fun entertaining story. I really liked it!

Good Girl's Bad Lessons concludes the Dirty Debts series with a whole lotta sexiness, fun, and some emotional upheaval as Emma learns to be the sex kitten her ex wants while Nico gets a lesson in what it means to open his heart.
This story like the first two before it jumps in feet first to the sexy times, and those sexy times keep on rolling. If you're not up for that, or prepared for that, then consider this a warning. There's a lot of sex since this is an Entangled Scorced story. I love it, but it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Ms Falcone does a great job of sexing it up but at the same time providing enough plot and emotional depth to drive the story along.
The story starts with Emma being dumped by the man of her dreams. Apparently, she's not exciting in the bedroom department for him. This leads to Nico proving her or more importantly her ex wrong and Emma bargaining with him for sex lessons in exchange for something he wants. It's a simple enough story but Ms Falcone brings some emotional depth to it with Nico's tragic past and his inability to connect and commit.
I liked Emma well enough but I found her to be fairly naive and perhaps even stereotypical. She's sweet, kind, generous, and unaware of her own sensuality. It's her kindness and her support of Nico that draws him out of himself and makes him want to share parts of his past with her that he's never shared with anyone else.
I've been wanting Nico's story because he's been a recurring character in the previous books and a real Lothario. I've wanted to see how he falls for the right woman and what she does to bring him to his knees. Who knew it would be something as simple as kindness and unconditional love, and perhaps that's not so simple at all? There was a moment in the story when I thought Nico would be harsh and brutal in trying to get something he has wanted for a very long time but instead he was tender and sensitive. I particularly like that scene in the book and how it was handled. It was at that part where I thought "wow! I really like how this played out!" and it was a high point in the story for me.
I've enjoyed the entire Dirty Debts series. They have been fun, quick, sexy reads for me and sometimes that's just what the doctor ordered for a little R&R. I'm looking forward to seeing what Ms Falcone does next. I hope there will be more Scorched books from her.

This was a delicious contemporary romance staring a smart and sweet girl and a bad boy billionaire who really should keep his hands off his best friend's little sister who is asking for seduction lessons. It was a slightly forbidden romance with an endgame of revenge that goes terribly wrong! Overall it was a lot of fun and very enjoyable!

Delectably forbidden! He's always known she was off-limits, but now she's basically begging him to defile her ... what's a man to do?? Carmen Falcone's latest is sexy, fun and oh so flirty and it's going to steam up day the minute you open the first page.

Emma Cavanaugh can't believe her boyfriend just dumped her ... and called her boring in bed! He's perfect for her, and she will stop at nothing to win him back, so she's going to take matters into her own hands and learn how to knock his socks off in bed! Who better to get to teach her than the Italian walking sex God himself!

Billionaire Nico Giordano adores Emma and, but little does she know when she makes this little request of hers that he has always secretly desired her. She's his best friend's little sister and has always been strictly off-limits, but if she wants to play games and push his buttons, she's going to learn the hard way about getting results!

This is a great book; this is the third book in the Dirty Debts series written by Carmen Falcone. Translator Emma Cavanaugh will do anything to win her ex-boyfriend back—including summoning her brother's best friend, Italian billionaire and playboy Nico Giordano, to give her much-needed lessons in the art of seducing and pleasing a man. Sex was never her thing, so if anyone is going to know how to teach her how to be bad it'll be Mr. Sex-on-A-Stick himself. This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night. If you are looking for a great book, then you need to read this book. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this great author.

4.5 Stars! This was a spicy romance. Emma was engaged and planning her dream wedding when out of the blue her fiance ends it saying that they have no sexual chemistry. He then goes off to another country for a month to volunteer. Emma comes up with a plan to become a sex goddess. Now enters Nico, her brother's best friend. He is the ultimate player and Emma knows he can teach her how to win her ex back. Nico has always lusted after Emma but knew she was off limits because of her brother. He is intrigued with her idea, and they make a deal to help one another. Nico needs Emma to get close to one of her employers. So for one month they will help each other out. Emma is stunned what Nico can do to her and with her. He opened her eyes to becoming more adventurous. They are hot together. Their story unfolds, and there is a huge twist at the end that tugs my heart. Another hit from this series

Emma is smart but not when it comes to her new ex. He blames her for the lack of chemistry. She falls for it and asks her brother's friend Nico to step in and teach her a thing or two.
The problem is that Nico and Emma's feelings are showing face, and her ex comes back to try to win her back.
Emma has many choices now she has to chose the one that is her best fit.

This was a fun book. It is sexy and quirky.

Rating 4/5

I loved this! Who doesn't love a man who knows what he's doing and to top it off an Italian at that!?! Whenever a different culture plays a prominent role in a character, I get so hooked and I'm not even sure what exactly appeals to me about it... maybe the unknown intrigue of a culture I only see on TV??? Anyway, this is my first novel from Carmen Falcone, and it did not disappoint! She definitely knows how to play the sexiness card and uses that A LOT to the advantage of this story! Fantastic read and I can't see what comes next!

Are you in the mood for an erotic romance? Then look no further than Good Girl's Bad Lessons by Carmen Falcone. This book is replete with tons of sexy times and a well presented story. The main characters are nicely developed and I enjoyed getting to know them both in and out of the bedroom.

Twenty-five year old Emma Cavanaugh gets great satisfaction from her job as a translator. She likes to help others and her talent with language allows her to do so. Emma's dream of marriage and children comes to an abrupt halt when her fiance unexpectedly breaks up with her. Apparently, their lack of sexual chemistry is the culprit. So Emma enlists the help of her brother's best friend, Italian billionaire Nico Giordano, to teach her how to please a man. Nicco is a smart businessman and a well known player. He accepts Emma's proposition, as long as she helps him get to know one of her clients. This client owns the house that Nicco grew up in, and he desperately wants to buy it back as a homage to his late mother.

To begin with, I love the cover. The plot flows effortlessly from beginning to end and the epilogue is beyond wonderful. This story is a tad overloaded with heat, and as a result, I skimmed over the last sex scene. Emma and Nicco are genuine and I could not get enough of their personal victories. The surprising twist near the end of the book was both emotional and clever. Overall, a solid erotic romance.

I really wanted to like this after reading the blurb, but I just couldn't connect with Emma for some reason -- I can't even say specifically what it was, because I liked her character and I liked the chemistry between her and Nico, but I felt like I had to force myself to read it. It might be because I'm suffering a book hangover from my previous read so I would still take a chance on this, because it was still a fun, very sexy, quick read. Solid 3.5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC for NetGalley.

Falcone is a pro when it comes to setting the senses aflame. She heats up the pages as she lights up the heart with Good Girl's Bad Lessons. What began as a temptation becomes the real deal between a sister and the brother's best friend. Emma and Nico are so wrong for each other, they just may be right for their hearts. Funny, heartwarming and naughty.

A good blend of sweet and sexy, Good Girl's Bad Lessons was an enjoyable afternoon read.

You could immediately feel the sparks striking off of Nico and Emma. And that first date was hot as hell! *fans self*

My heart broke reading about Nico's childhood. I just wanted to wrap him up in a hug.

If you are looking for a fun, easy, heartfelt read, I recommend this book.
