“…I couldn’t stop reading, and the story left me with a whirlwind of emotions. I laugh, I cried, I was even hot and bothered and, in the end, I was left a very satisfied reader.”
~ Under the Covers
This second installment of Bad Habit series features the band’s drummer A.J. Edwards and Chloe Carmichael, best friend to Kat (from book 1) and florist to her wedding. Their story has an enemies-to-lovers trope. Though a typical theme, J.T. Geissinger kept the story interesting and exciting. She hooked me in deeper and deeper with each twist of the story. I couldn’t put this book down.
Chloe and A.J. met in the last book, and even then, you can tell there’s something brewing between them already. They are quite the opposite. Chloe is prim and proper, funny, friendly and pretty much an open book. Whereas, A.J. is tatted, an introvert, and lives his life in the fast lane. A.J.’s persona threw me in for a loop though. He’s not your typical rock star, and his background surprised me. He is not the person he leads everyone to believe. I can tell you that he is way beyond talented with his music; he is not the asshole that he seems to be, and his past utterly broke me. Of course, Chloe didn’t know all that. They couldn’t stand each other, and honestly, I didn’ t know how I was going to handle it. But Geissinger certainly kept each of their interactions heated and in the end, it felt like it was all meant to be.
I typically stay away from angst and though this book had some, it didn’t damper on the story. I also found the first ten percent of the story was slow to start. After I had passed that bit, the book took off and not a dull moment since. There were twists to the story that I truly didn’t see coming. Despite the angst and slow start, I couldn’t stop reading, and the story left me with a whirlwind of emotions. I laugh, I cried, I was even hot and bothered and, in the end, I was left a very satisfied reader.

About J.T. Geissinger
J.T. Geissinger’s debut novel, Shadow’s Edge, was published in 2012 and was a #1 Amazon US and UK bestseller in fantasy romance and romance series. She has been nominated for the prestigious RITA® award from the Romance Writers of America for best paranormal romance for her second book in the Night Prowler series, Edge of Oblivion.
A life-long lover of reading and a self-professed “book addict,” she didn’t realize her dream of writing a novel until a milestone birthday forced her to take stock of her goals in life. Always believing the right time to commit to putting pen to paper would magically announce itself, it took waking up one cold January morning with a shiny new zero as the second number in her age to kick start her determination.
Starting on that very day, she wrote what would become Shadow’s Edge in a little over four months and submitted it to several literary agents. Nothing happened. Thinking that was the end of that but by no means willing to give up on her dreams of being published, she began work on a second manuscript.
Then, during a trip to Italy in honor of their 10th wedding anniversary and the honeymoon she and her husband never took, she received an email that would change her life. It was from an agent, Marlene Stringer of Stringer Literary, and it contained the three words every aspiring author longs to hear: “I loved it.”
Marlene sold the manuscript to Montlake Romance who published it six months later. Hitting the #1 Amazon bestseller lists within weeks of publication, Shadow’s Edge was book one of the Night Prowler novels. Book two, Edge of Oblivion, was published in October 2012 and will be followed by Rapture’s Edge in June 2013, and Edge of Darkness in fall 2013. There are six books total planned for the series.

I coblog and review here at Under the Covers and occasionally review for Hot Listens.I love to read PNR, UF, Contemporary, New Adult, and Romantic Suspense. Occasionally, I will venture to Erotica, BDSM reads and rarely Historical Romance. There are some sub-genres that I don’t always enjoy, but I’m open to stepping out of my comfort zone.For the most part, as long as there’s a hint of romance, I’m pretty much in.
