ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 23, 2022

Owen Rollins’ life mission is to protect the young and innocent. But when he took the job to protect Baylor Giles, he miscalculated the situation.

Baylor may be young, but she’s not innocent. The way she prances around in her cheerleader skirt, throwing her coy smile his way. . .
No, she’s not innocent at all.

Still, he has a job to do, and he needs to remain focused. The threat to Baylor’s life is real, and he can’t let what happened last time happen again. Even if it would feel so good to show her the punishment for naughty girls who flirt with their bodyguard.

Nothing can happen. His resolve is firm, and his fortitude is unyielding.
Or is it?

Baylor Giles was a carefree, fun-loving teenager until that terrifying night everything changed.

Then Owen came into her life.

He makes her feel safe for the first time in a long time. But she also feels other things for the much older man. . . things she shouldn’t. And no matter how many times he turns her down, she knows he wants her too.

She’ll never convince him to be her forever, but can she convince this good guy to be bad for a weekend?

REVIEW:  BAD FOR A WEEKEND by Misty Walker is a contemporary, new adult to adult, erotic, romance story line found in the multi-authored BLURRED LINES series. This is thirty-two year old, former police officer turned security specialist Owen Rollins, and eighteen year old Baylor Giles’ story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Owen and Baylor) BAD FOR A WEEKEND follows in the aftermath of the abduction of our story line heroine. Eighteen year old student Baylor Giles was the victim of a kidnapping by an unknown assailant, and in the wake of the assault and ongoing threats, Baylor’s father, actor Corey Giles, hires personal security specialist Owen Rollins to protect his beloved daughter but Owen and Baylor’s attraction to one another is immediate, and Owen struggles to keep his distance from the woman with whom he will fall in love. A weekend in Mexico results in Baylor seducing our story line heroine, a seduction that will destroy our story line couple, resulting in the loss of a job for Owen Rollins. High school graduation with culminate in a targeted attack that will leave Baylor struggling to survive, while Owen finds himself on the outside looking in. Three years will pass before Baylor and Owen reconnect, a reconnection that will pull our couple together again but Baylor suspects Owen has moved on from their love. What ensues is the building but forbidden relationship between Owen and Baylor, and the potential fall-out when their affair is discovered, and Owen must walk away from the woman he loves.

The relationship between Owen and Baylor is one of immediate attraction; a forbidden, age-gap romance in which Owen was hired to protect a young woman whose life has been threatened by an unknown assailant but Baylor and her friends refuse to stay under the radar, and make life difficult for our story line hero. Baylor is a head strong, sometimes immature heroine who pushes all of Owen’s proverbial buttons but Owen gives as much in return, knowing that to cross the line would mean the end of his career, and his relationship with the woman he loves. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word in my romance story lines.

We are introduced to Baylor’s father Corey Giles, and her best friends Ziggy and Sara, and housekeeper/nanny Brandy, as well as Owen’s brother and boss Hudson.

BAD FOR A WEEKEND is a story of the forbidden; an age-gap romance between a young woman experiencing first love, and a man who struggles with demons from the past. The premise is engaging, emotional and entertaining; the romance is seductive and provocative with some scenes of ‘daddy-kink’ that felt awkward and unnecessary; the characters are charismatic, struggling and determined.
