Bad Romeo

By: Leisa Rayven

Narrated by: Andi Arndt

While performing the greatest love story of all time, they discovered one of their own…

Cassie Taylor was just another acting student with big dreams at her prestigious performing arts college…then she met Ethan Holt. She was the good girl actress. He was the bad boy on campus. But one fated casting choice for Romeo and Juliet changed it all. Like the characters they were playing on stage, Cassie and Ethan's epic romance seemed destined. Until it ended in tragedy when he shattered her heart.

Now they've made it to Broadway where they're reunited as romantic leads once again—and their passionate scenes force them to confront the heartbreaking lows and pulse-pounding highs of their intense college affair. For Ethan, losing Cassie was his biggest regret—and he's determined to redeem himself. But for Cassie, even though Ethan was her first and only great love, he hurt her too much to ever be trusted again. The trouble is, working with him again reminds her that people who rub each other the wrong way often make the best sparks. And when it comes to love, sometimes it's the things that aren't good for us that are the most irresistible. Don't miss Leisa Rayven's Bad Romeo, the intoxicating romance beloved by over two million fans online—a story that'll captivate you and hold you breathless until the final page.

One of my favorite books!

I listen to roughly 3-5 books per week via Audible & this has been one of my favorites. The story is long & slow progressing but the characters make it enjoyable. This is not a story with sex scenes on every page & instant gratification. It's a story of young college students slowly building a friendship/relationship at a pace that would likely occur in real life, esp when one of them has abandonment issues. This isn't a story that shows the characters married, pregnant & 10x orgasms per day within 3 months of meeting. It's well written & fairly realistic for this type of genre.

Captivating

I didn't want to stop listening once I started. True romance without being cheesy, super steamy but not explicit. Really funny and likable characters!

Whoa so much angst.

If you like a story full of angst and heartbreak then dive right into this one. The story does not conclude at the end of this book so I still need to find out if they get a happily ever after.

Captivating an beautiful

This is an intense story but you will be captivated from the first chapter. All the previous reviews are right. It's a lovely story with loads of passion and love and pain.

Amazing Book and Narration

Would you listen to Bad Romeo again? Why?

Absolutely, Andi Arndt is an amazing narrator; she is able to convey the emotions of all of the characters and readers will be able to feel everything they do through her voice intonations.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Cassie and Holt are both well developed and flawed. There's definite growth on both of their parts and getting the flashbacks and present day really shows that.

What does Andi Arndt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Andi's tones and intonations truly reflect the emotions of the characters and I wouldn't get that by just reading it myself.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

If we shouldn't want bad, why does it feel so good?

Excellent Story, Great Narrator

This story was fun. This love story was good, except I don't usually like books that go back and forth in time because I get distracted and miss where the story is. I have to listen closely to know where, in the characters' life, the story is taking place. It is still a great romance. Of course, one of my favorite narrators, Andi Arndt, did an excellent job with the characters.

Andi is awesome!!
