Bad Boy's Downfall by Gina Azzi

Release Date: March 2, 2023

Series: Tennessee Thunderbolts #6

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Word on the ice: the only thing worse than knocking up your teammate’s sister is knocking up his daughter.

I have no business tangling up with Lola Daire. She’s a smart, idealistic, college senior planning to take on Silicon Valley. I’m an angry NHL player with a chip on my shoulder.

She smiles rainbows; I spit fire. She’s a daddy’s girl; I’m the last guy her father wants her to date.

A man with my past and demons will only corrupt a good woman. I know better than to give in to her playful flirting, but when Lola finds herself in a compromising situation, I break the rules to keep her safe.

We have nothing in common, save for the attraction we feel. We have no future, except for the moments that stretch between us. But our desire is insatiable. Our chemistry, off-the-charts.

One night turns into more and our casual understanding takes an unexpected turn.

I may be the cliché bad boy, but my downfall is the good girl with a baby on the way.

My Review:

Azzi concludes her Tennessee Thunderbolts Series with an explosive and addictive hockey romance in the Bad Boy’s Downfall. This emotional read is about new beginnings between two characters who might not have a lot in common on the outside, but they soon realize how similar they really are in a lot of ways bringing them closer than ever. A definite must-read!

As the youngest NHL player in the Tennessee Thunderbolts hockey team, River Patton, is just at the beginning stages of a very promising career. With that also comes the attention of woman around him, which gains him a bit of a playboy reputation with the team. Although his sole purpose is to have a successful career, River is not interested in commitment. Not after the way he grew up, there are demons in his life that still haunt him and River is afraid of not being good enough. 

That soon changes the minute he meets, Lola Daire, the daughter of one of his teammates. She is quirky, always reading and in her own head. She is not trying to impress anyone and he finds it incredibly attractive, which River hates. He knows that she is off-limits, but he can’t stop thinking about Lola. Until a turn of events have him ready to protect her at all costs, including claiming her as his. This changes their dynamic and even though Lola might be moving after graduation, it’s his chance to make a move on her before it’s too late.

As a college senior, Lola Daire, has done everything she could to get to where she is in hopes of getting a great job in Silicon Valley. With graduation approaching, she wants her last months as a student to be regret free. Lola is aware that someone like River Patton, would never give her a true chance, but she only has four months of being reckless and he is the perfect guy to do it with. But she got more than she bargained for the minute their relationship starts to turn into so much more. Then life decides to throw them a curveball and it’s about to change their lives forever.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Bad Boy’s Downfall, it was sizzling with chemistry from the beginning and it just kept getting better and better. Azzi truly delivers a love story full of ups and downs as the characters got to know each other as well. They share a lot in common than they actually think and it’s because of that, that they are able to lean on each other for support. I loved all the cameos that we got from previous characters, and the ending will leave you rooting for them. It’s the perfect ending to conclude the series with and I couldn’t recommend it enough. If you’re looking for a great sports romance than I would highly recommend checking this on out as well as any other books in the series. :)
