Things Good Girls Don't Do (Rock Canyon, Idaho Book 1) Kindle Edition
Good girls don't steal.
Good girls don't visit sex shops.
Good girls don't have one-night stands.
For Katie Conners, being a good girl just isn't worth it anymore. It used to mean getting the life she always wanted. But that was before she got dumped and her ex got engaged to his rebound. So, after a bad day and one too many mojitos, Katie starts making a list of things a girl like her would never do, not in a million years . . .
As a tattoo artist with a monster motorcycle, Chase Trepasso isn't the kind of guy you bring home to mom and dad.
And when he finds Katie's list in a bar, he's more than happy to help her check off a few items. Especially the ones on the naughtier side . . .
Katie's more than tempted by Chase's offer, as long as they keep things uncomplicated. But as they spend more time together, she may just wind up breaking the most important rule of all: Good girls don't fall in love with bad boys.

Review
Katie is the beautiful beauty queen; Chase is the man from the wrong side of the tracks. But together, they make perfection! Gary's second tale set in Rock Canyon is a captivating romance that is the perfect read for a day at the beach, a cozy bed late at night, or flying through the sky.
-- "Library Journal"Nina Alvamar excels at making humor and personality clear through her vocal stylings...Alvamar presents a charmingly proper reading, playing Katie's inhibitions against Chase's dares and teasing out character motivations. Chase's voice is flirty, altogether masculine, and natural in dialogue. Katie and her girlfriends are easily identified in their conversations, and her nemesis, Mrs. Andrews, sounds like a sour lemon. Alvamar lingers over the couple's intimate moments, evoking their naughty shenanigans amid the gossip of small-town Idaho.
-- "AudioFile"Made me laugh, cry, and literally fall in love!

I loved Katie. Her personality was of someone I could easily be friends with. She loves country music,chocolate,her cat,and Klaus from the Vampire Dairies. My kinda heroine. I do feel in some ways her mother smothered her personality and tried to make her into what her mother thought was the perfect women. I loved seeing Katie spread her wings and become her own person and not who her mother wanted her to be. Chase really helps bring out that side of Katie she has repressed for so long.
I love Chase. He acts like he is a tough guy who doesn't care about what others think but he does. Lots of people in Chase's life have told me he was good for nothing riff raff because he was poor,lived in trailer park,and became a tattoo artist. I lot of people have judged him and treated him badly. But Katie doesn't see any of that just Chase. Chase and Katie were both very real characters that you feel you could meet in real life.
Chase and Katie's sexual chemistry is so hot. Perfect amount of hot sex to story scenes. Some books have a struggle with that but this book didn't. That Kissing Booth Scene made me swoon and fall head over heels for Chase. He is my new book boyfriend. I couldn't put this book down and almost fell asleep on my kindle. Twice. I was very taken with the secondary characters and can't wait to read their books. I loved the scene with everyone in Katie's Salon. It had me laughing. OMG that ending was so romantic and perfect. This was my first book by this author and it will not be my last.

Good girl Katie always says and does the right thing. Raised in a small town by a prim and proper mother, she is the epitome of what every parent wants and the idol every person in town wants to be. But when you are polite 24x7, you also become the mat that everyone walks all over. After receiving a spiteful invitation to her ex-boyfriends wedding to the girl he cheated on her with, Katie makes a list of all the things she wishes she could do, but never had the guts or approval of.
In walks Chace, the bad boy tattoo parlor owner who everyone makes assumptions about. But the bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks that everyone seems to think he is, is actually a college scholarship graduate, who loves art and made himself into a successful business man. Always having the hots for Katie, he never felt he was good enough for her standards, but when an opportunity presents itself, how can he resist taking the shot.
I love that when these two characters have concerns with what the other is thinking or feeling, they ask the questions and address it immediately. They just warmed my heart and are an adorable couple. But how they put up with the gossip and constant eyes would have me jumping off the nearest bridge oy vey.
I will give Katie credit, when Chance comes back to town after his mother's death, I think I would have forgave him instantly. The pain he went through, she losing her own mother should have understood and I would have predicted her to cave as I would understanding that same kind of pain. But she didn't and the way she handled herself at the bar when he got p'ed off I could envision clearly and hear her voice out loud. Kuddos!!
Totally loved the epilogue and I can see my heart still glowing with awe for these two. Easy read, relaxing, funny, and a good ole rainy day read or maybe one day movie.
We meet a new guy in town Case Trepasso in The Trouble with Sexy, and he is looking at Katie in a whole new light after she stands up for him to the busybody Mrs. Andrews. Mrs. Andrews you will hear a lot in these books, she is an acquired taste as you will see. Chase knows Katie is a good girl, and he is no saint. Good girls want the whole white picket fence, two point five kids, doting husband, and etcetera. Chase wants to have a good time, work at his tattoo shop and live life a day at a time. However no matter how many times he tells himself to stay away he just can’t. When Katie decides being good isn’t working for her anymore, Case steps in to show her how much fun being bad can be. Read their story to see why Chase hates commitment of any kind, and why Katie has a hard time being true to who she wants to be…
