The opening montage starts off with the lead heroine Anna trying to build up the courage to tell her boyfriend Joseph that she is not going to their months worth plan move to Singapore due to her mother's sudden cancer diagnosis. Ultimately taking it upon herself to make the decision to stay, Joseph felt left in the dark and due to the lack of communication and trust, he abruptly leaves to start his dream career in the faraway country.

Fast forward three years later, Anna is slowly picking up the broken pieces Joseph left behind and being inspired by the heartbreak, she launches Bad Bastards, an app that helps the women of New York avoid men like her ex and provides women a tool to help them navigate the dating world. As soon as Bad Bastards starts gathering media attention, anonymous threats letter and photos are being forwarded to Annie's email and home, and with Joseph sudden return, the only person she can rely on is him. Miscommunication, resentment and betrayal tugs and pulls Annie and Joseph in every which way, and once suppressed feeling quickly emerged.

With the blurb like that, I was immediately drawn to the series and was slightly let down by the end result. It started off in a high note but as the story progress, I found myself skimming through pages and counting down the minutes I would finally be done. Annie's back and forth switcheroo between loving and hating Joseph became redundant and how she completely ignored the hero's feelings in the prologue was a game changer (Side note, am I the only one that thought Anna was at fault for the relationship ending?) and that set the mood for me. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad and I applaud Stefanie London for taking the time to write this good book, but for me, it was mediocre at best. Nothing particularly stood out and it left me desiring more.

imagine an author trying to write 3 books and let them be standalone and also be connected. Impossible task? not for Stefanie London. Bad Bachelors is an amazing series and this the last " Bad Influence" has brought old friends back together and covered Annie and Joseph's story. Annie and Joseph have planned to move to Singapore when Joseph is offered a position that dreams are made of. Annie is all ready to go until her mother is diagnosed with breast cancer and she cannot go across the world from her. So she makes the decision and tells everyone is it not going, only one problem, she forgot to tell Joseph. Angry even after offering to send her home as often as he has to he makes the decision and leaves. Not long after he leaves she sees a photo of him getting Engaged, she is shattered, heartbroken. She starts a website anonymously called Bad Bachelors that she hopes will help women and also help her to get over her hurt. Three years go by and she runs into Joseph again in Central Park, he returns when he realizes that it was more the chance to get his father to finally be proud of him that what he wanted. She never stopped loving him but between his family not accepting her and the hurt they gave each other there is no chance for a new beginning. Not until her website is hacked and she is threatened and she ask Josephs help. You will love her family and understand why she stayed. They work together to try and find who is threatening her . This books has it all and I am Not giving any more away all I can say is Ms. London has written a wonderful story with a HEA. A keeper .

What an entertaining series this has been...with emotions riding high throughout the story, the pages couldn’t be turned fast enough. Ms London has a unique mastery of the human condition and translates that into relatable characters with dynamic personalities.

Joseph and Annie are characters you’ll loose your heart to...their journey from heartbreak to a HEA is one that is portrayed with such heartfelt depth it’s as if it all is unfolding with you as an active participant. The story is nicely tied up, ending the series leaving a feeling of warmth for the experience of spending time with these characters.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

Although I enjoyed the first book in the series, I struggled with this one. I suspect that says more about me than it does about the series.

Bad Influence is book three in the Bad Bachelors series. It's a well written second chance story, but it was too angsty for my personal reading tastes. However, it's still getting five stars as our patrons will absolutely adore it.

This is book 3 in theseries and I ahte to see it ending. It easily stands alone and my only real complaint is we see the three friends hanging out but never their significant others. I really wanted to see that;

This is Annie's story. She started the website that started all the problems with the bachelors of NY. The story starts as she lliterally runs into her ex, Joe who is now back in town. He abandoned her at the worst time and then got enaged to another woman. Now he is back in town and he wants closer with Annie.

Snnie has some big problems. She is being stalked digitally and so she seeks Joe's assitance trying to find out how her stalker has attacked her digitally. This is Annie's story and it is her story on what she decides to do with her website moving forward.

Meanwhile her and Joe rediscover each other. I really enjoyed this story. It had suspense and romance. My one big issue is I was with Annie, his engagement was a big reason I did not fall for Joe, I really could not forgive what he did to Annie. That said it was a fun story and it was very well written. It tied up the end of the series very nicely..
