Allie
When I moved to River’s Edge, dating was the last thing on my mind.
I definitely didn’t expect to fall for him.
Jesse Shepherd.
Popular. Star athlete. Cocky as hell.
You know the type.
But as time passed, I realized there was more lurking beneath that gorgeous exterior.
Secretive. Angry. A little bit broken.
The more I peeled back his layers, the deeper I fell.
Until I slammed headfirst into his sea of lies.
Jess
I blew my shot.
Pissed everything away—college, lacrosse, my future—only to end up right back where I started in River’s Edge.
I was content to revel in my misery, spending my days drowning in a bottomless pit of booze and girls.
Until I saw her.
Allison Parrish.
Beautiful. Sarcastic. Perpetual bad attitude.
The pretty little distraction from the shit show that was my life.
But the sins of my past were closing in on me, and I learned the hard way that nothing gold can stay.
Oh wow, I loved this book. I am not surprised that I love this, it's exactly my style. My favorite type. It could have easily gone over the top, but the author did a great job of building a world we all want to live in. Jesse and Allison are a match made in book heaven. Talk about two mixed up people. Even though they are mixed up they keep finding themselves thrown together. The characters have great rapport with each other, Jesse is shameless, Allison can't stand him. At least she lets him think that. This story is told in dual pov. Do yourself a favor pick this book up.

Gah! This was my first time reading anything by Charleigh Rose and let me tell you, I was truly impressed with both the author and the book. Bad Influence is unquestionably one of the best new adult romance novels that I've ever read. It contained a little bit of everything, and checked all the marks for me. It was sexy, angsty, emotional and wonderfully written. It's a richly developed and well plotted story. Everything about it just jumped off the page, almost taking on life, as if it were happening around me. I absolutely loved it!
Jesse comes across as a cocky and arrogant bad boy, but there's more to him than meets the eye. He is a lost and broken soul, but keeps it hidden behind a facade. But as the story progresses, secrets come to light showing us exactly what torments him. We see how much he struggles internally to break the cycle as his past catches up to him. I absolutely felt for him because he had a heart of gold and was worthy of so much more than the cards he'd been dealt.
Allie is strong and brave, but haunted by her past. The brokenness that plagues her soul rivals that of Jesse's soul. Both are lost, and trying to move past all of the heartache and pain. But she was able to show Jesse his worth and to help him become the best version of himself. The happiness they found in each other while trying to heal was absolutely magical. The two of them loved hard and it was a beautiful sight to see. They were everything! A perfectly imperfect match that quickly captured my heart.
Bad Influence was a phenomenal read. I honestly had no expectations going into this book beyond hoping that I would enjoy it. Well, I was pleasantly surprised because I can honestly say that I not only thoroughly enjoyed it, but it was well beyond anything I could have expected. The writing was top-notch and everything that I hope for when reading romance. Without a doubt, this story deserves all 5 stars and more.

“Did you hear that?” I ask. Moving in slowly, he cages me in, bracing his right arm on the wall above my head, his left hand by my hip. He brings his lips close to my ear and I fight the shiver that rolls through me. “It’s probably just your admirer,” he says, his voice hushed and husky. I swallow hard, looking over his shoulder as he nuzzles closer, his nose skimming my neck, then down to my collarbone. My pulse pounds in my ears as he moves back up, his mouth brushing across my cheek, stopping at my parted lips. “Is this convincing?” He asks. He’s so close that I can feel his breath on my lips, and I realize that I want him to do it. I want him to kiss me. I give a slight shake of my head in response. “No?” He smirks, knowing exactly what he’s doing to me. His left hand leaves the wall to curl around my hip and he presses his chest to mine. “How about this?” “Almost,” I whisper. I wet my lips and the tip of my tongue nearly grazes his bottom lip. His expression goes from playful to heated in an instant, then he’s closing the final distance. It’s soft at first, just a brush of his lips against mine, but soon he’s cupping my face with both hands, tilting my head back as his tongue sweeps into my mouth, his movements confident and skilled. Unhurried and unyielding. My hands find his shirt, pulling him closer as his tongue fucks my mouth. Because that’s exactly what this is. This isn’t kissing. Or maybe it is, and I’ve been kissing the wrong boys. Jesse groans, fitting a firm thigh between my legs, and the need bubbling inside me threatens to boil over at the sensation. But all too soon, he pulls back, leaving me breathless. “Was that convincing enough?”
Charleigh Rose lives in Narnia with her husband and two young children. She’s hopelessly devoted to unconventional love and pizza. When she isn’t reading or mom-ing, she’s writing moody, broody, swoony romance.
