Bad Boys After Dark: Dylan is a stunning sweet but sexy contemporary romance with such a loveable male lead. Mixing a bar owner with a fiercely independent sports agent, this book takes on an opposites attract theme with an instant attraction that has such an emotional undertone that makes it a beautiful read full of heart, humour, emotion and love.

Dylan and Tiffany (aka summer), who have such an incredible attraction and chemistry, are two really likeable characters who have had tough pasts with loss that shape who they are today but still impact on each in quite a big way. Their relationship, while it starts off with a fast pace given their intense attraction, is one that clearly grows as these two opposites who compliment each other perfectly grow closer in a steady way that is fitting with both. Using dual points of views, we get a good rounded look and understanding of both who appear outwardly as strong characters but underneath have a more vulnerable side that is expressed at times with very real and raw emotion. Dylan’s character, however, steals the show with his just general lovableness.

Bad Boys After Dark: Dylan is stunningly written with a great flow and steadily paced, despite the book taking place over a relatively short period of time. I personally have not read the first book in the series but that had no impact on this one as any details needed are given. However, I loved the sub-characters in this book and can imagine for those who have read the first book, it adds extra enjoyment catching up with the characters again. What I love about this (and other Melissa Foster romances) is there is no silly petty drama that crops up between characters that causes immature reactions from the main characters just for drama. The drama and issues faced within this book are handled with maturity and a realism that you can’t help but love and respect that then adds to the HEA the characters achieve.

I can’t recommend this book enough!
