Stereotypes are weird

Bad Girls Don't - Cathie Linz (Berkley Sensation, 2006)

Bad girls don't fall in love. And they don't go for authority figures. They do like yoga, belly dancing, and being totally loving and friendly. Or something.

This is the follow-up to Good Girls Do, where proper librarian Julia falls for a guy on a motorcycle. Here, Julia's half-sister Skye runs up against a cop. Sparks fly. And the phrase "wicked awesome" drops once or twice a page. (Skye grew up mostly on the West Coast, which explains her Bostonesque slang. Really, the more appropriate phrase would have been "hella cool.")

I'm really not sure why this charming little book didn't do more for me. I'm sure it deserves a nicer write-up than this one.
