Six years ago Fin Bowie made a decision that cost him the love of his life. Now his ex is coming back to town for her brother's wedding, and he can finally make things right. Except, right before the event, a text he sent goes viral. Overnight, he becomes an international meme. And it's hard to win your woman back when the whole world's calling you The World's Worst Boyfriend.

The last thing on Calliope Bell's mind is getting back with Fin. Not when her life's just gone sideways, forcing her to spend the summer in Calamity, Wyoming. She can't be away from the New York art world this long, so she comes up with the idea to turn the hottest pop culture event of the moment into a museum exhibition.

The two have every intention of avoiding each other--until the county judge sentences Fin to community service...helping her exploit the meme he's trying to make go away.

The World's Worst Boyfriend is a second chance love story between two people who need to really do some major growing before they can find their HEA. It's the first book in a new series about the Bowie brothers. This is Fin and Callie's story

I'm going to be honest, I did not love this book in the beginning. Callie drove me nuts. The failing of their relationship really had fault on both side and she acted as if it was all Fin's fault. I knew until she understood her part in it, they would never be able to move on. I felt so badly for Fin. I am happy that I kept going with the story. I ended up loving watching Fin and Callie "grow up" and find their way back together. Fin was my favorite part of the book. Callie, thankfully, redeemed herself in the end.

The exhibition that Callie started and expanded was such a neat idea. I loved how it evolved and think it would be a neat place to visit in real life. I won't give away details, you'll have to read to find out. The secondary characters were fun and I look forward to reading their stories in the future. The book kind of ends on a bit of a cliff hanger, so I'm dying to get the next book! I highly recommend this second chance romance!

Enjoy this excerpt:

“Guess what, Callie? Love isn’t safe. It’s messed up and crazy and it hurts like hell. But why would you want anything less than what we had? Jesus, what we had—it was more than love. It was…Dammit. Why do I have to explain this to you? I’m empty without you, and no other woman, no friend or brother—no one can take your place. You’re part of me. And I’m sorry but I’m not buying that you’ve moved on. We screwed up, and we got lost, but I will be damned if I accept that you’d rather have some boring, bland relationship than me.” He reached for her, pulling her hard against him, gaze focused on her mouth.

Slowly, he leaned in, overwhelming her with his masculine scent. He pressed a soft, gentle kiss that sent an alarming rush of desire through her body. A lick of his tongue across her lips had her mouth opening to him, welcoming him, and then it happened.

Fin kissed her. Kissed her the way he always had—hungry, desperate, a barely contained expression of carnal need.

He kept his hands to himself, their mouths the only point of connection. His kiss tasted sweet like love, hot like passion, like everything beautiful in the world grew out of this, the tender intimacy of two souls finally, finally rejoining.

The moment she reached for him, restless for the press of his hard body against hers, he tore his mouth away. “You wanna settle for less than that?”
