A Wreck You Make Me ( Bad Boys of Bardstown #3) by Saffron A. Kent

 





I have been in love with Shepard Thorne since I was twelve. He's my best friend's hot older brother, and I am the weird redhead who low-key follows him everywhere. He's soccer's bad boy, and I am stuck in a dead end job, serving drinks at the local strip club. Our paths aren't meant to cross. Until one day I catch him getting a lap dance at the club and jealousy makes me ruin his fun. Now's he's made it his mission to make my life hell and no matter what I do, there is no escape. Everywhere I turn, there he is, waiting for his payback. He threatens to kiss me one second, and choke me the next. He promises to bring me to my knees and make me beg...A Wreck, You Make Me by Saffron A. Kent was published on August 8th, 2025. This is the third book in the Bad Boys of Bardstown series. 


I was asked for my honest review in getting the ARC of this book from Saffron A. Kent and The Smuthood. Also I will admit that I have not read book one or two of the series. On to the review, I thought at first the book started out slow but it quickly gained speed. I realized the slow beginning was just the building blocks being put down. I did get confused at times on who was speaking through the book but it didn't mess up the story at all. The characters were on par amazing. I fell in love with Shepard and his weird mood swings. I also feel bad for him through the book. The mother in me wanted to coddle him. But not only did I want to coddle him but I wanted to coddle Jupiter. I felt horrible for her to keep secrets through the book but not only that but had to raise her little sister. The background of the main characters really made you feel for the two and hope and pray that they get a future. Though it also helped to realize they needed each other to have that future. The smut scenes were on fire. There is a scene with a military type boot of a ride. I fell in love with this book and will for sure be reading the other books in this series. But not only that I love the way Saffron A. Kent built the scenes in this book. I highly recommend checking out this book and most likely any of her books. I give her an amazing A plus.
