Bad Girls Don’t by Cathie Linz

Making a living by teaching yoga and belly dancing is nothing new to Skye Wright, who refused to take a normal job like her normal sister. In fact nothing about Skye’s life was normal, including her mother and four year old daughter. When Sheriff Nathan Thornton pulled Skye over for speeding, she was dressed in a harem costume and on her way to the local high school to teach a yoga class to the football team. Convinced she was going to teach the high schoolers more than just yoga, he takes her back to the station in handcuffs. While Skye finds Studly-Do-Right yummy and definitely worth a roll in the hay, he’s too uptight for anything long term. But when someone starts making threats against Skye, Nathan’s willing to do anything to protect Skye, even if it means he has to spend the night as her bodyguard. Now Nathan must decide whether to act on his feelings for Skye or lose the best bad-girl he ever met?

This is a worthy successor to Cathie’s previous book Good Girls Do. Many characters from that story appear in this one, as well as the same sense of humor. However, like the previous one some aspects of the story seemed to be a bit over the top, but it does work for these characters and story. If you loved the Good Girls Do, I think you’ll love this story too.
