Bred by the Bad Boy

Rate this book
When a retired basketball superstar sets his heart on an every day girl.

Malik Ford was the bad boy of basketball. A player on and off the court. Rich, ridiculously handsome, and exceptionally talented. Passing through women without a care.
Now, he's ready to start a family... and he wants ME to mother his child!

I was just another fan with his posters on my wall and my head filled with fantasies about my celebrity crush. I never thought I'd meet him. Never imagined he'd notice me. Want me. Claim me... but can I trust his bad boy days are over?
Now, I'm pregnant and worried it was all a fluke.

This is a short, steamy, instalove, instalust, celebrity, sports romance with no cheating, no cliffhanger & a guaranteed HEA!

if you're familiar with my books and my world you know I write steamty. This book is scorching hot, filthy. Malik is a dirty-talking, dirty-minded alpha. He's big EVERYWHERE, knows what he wants and always gets it. Extra panties recommended. You've been warned!

STORY:
What I Like:
If you know insta romance, it goes by super fast. It’s like everything happening in super fast forward. Malik was so Alpha. His brain went into caveman mode the moment he saw Lisa. What fuel me in this short read, was Malik’s obsessive behavior and everything at first sight attitude towards Lisa. Lisa was a good balance to Malik’s attitude. She was here for it as well, as her attraction to Malik gave the reader a nice excitement.



What Is So So:
Although it was a short read, Lisa gave in very quickly. I would have loved 2 pages of her making Malik work for it. It ended abruptly. I would have loved an epilogue to see how they were after the baby and see if Malik gave her all she wanted.



SEXUAL CHEMISTRY:
Short read, but I got some spice. I love their sex scene. It definitely matches Malik’s personality and it was enjoyable for me.



SECONDARY CHARACTERS:
Ana, Lisa’s niece, wow. The author did a great job, not good, great with this ball of everything. She made me smile so much and she really added to the joining and coming together of Malik and Lisa.



OVERALL:
Was I entertained? Yes
Did I like the story? Yes
If a series, would I read/continue with the other books in the series,? Yes, but in this case, this was my first book from the author and will read more of her work.



TRIGGERS: None


NOTES: No ow/om, no cheating, little breeding kink



****I don’t equate these stories to real life. It’s about personal taste and what you would or want to tolerate with the books you read. I know we all have different opinions and preferences with what we read. I based my book reviews on my preferences and what I like, and while these preferences may not be the same for others, I hope this review was still helpful.

Malik spots Lisa across a crowded room and instantly is attracted to her. I loved how this couple immediately became attached and how they were so open about it.
Refreshing story!

Standalone - interconnected theme series by different authors with interconnected characters in those authors' other books


Lisa (mfc)
Malik (mmc)

Malik sees Lisa in a crowd and it's like a switch got flipped on in him. He wants her, for his own, forever. Lisa had taken her niece to the event, and the niece meets Malik, telling him about Lisa. Malik convinces Lisa to go on a date with him. After an amazing night together, he leaves for a 3-week long business trip crossing several countries. Will he come back to her? Will she let him after the rumors start?


Typos throughout the book, but it's a fast and HOT read.

An ex baller and the superfan...

, smexy quickie with a hot, ex baller named Malik Ford who falls hard for a super fan, Lisa. So easy to fall for the memorable characters in "Bred by the Bad Boy" including Lisa's cute and adorable niece who helped set this steamy couple up!

5 Brought the heat stars!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely loved the newest book in the Baby Breeder series. Malik is the bad boy of the NBA, when Lisa brings her niece to a meet and greet he immediately feels something for her. With the help of her niece he gets her to agree to his first date. I love these two and their story was absolutely perfect. Imani always gives us the greatest stories.

Boom!
This book was a quick, steamy read. Malik was confident, flirty, and intense. Lisa was dependable, sweet, and open. The sexual chemistry was explosive. The dirty talk had me squirming in pleasure. I had to suspend belief in regards to the pregnancy timeline,, but otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The HEA was sweet!

Intense couple, left wanting more

Their relationship jumps off with just a look. A long separation immediately after they connect makes for some drama. They're reunited in their HEA where they get all their concerns addressed. The End. Yes, it ends somewhat abuptly, even for a short story, but the story was enjoyable.

Malik and Lisa were so cute. That instant attraction and everything happening like it did was perfect for them. Ana...we needed more of that little girl. Feisty, a hustler, and just too much. I would love to see more of them.

When a novella is so good it leaves you wanting you more! A sassy niece that isn't afraid to say anything on her mind. An aunt that supports her sassy niece leads her to everything she's deserves. Add in a very sexy pro basketball player and you have spicy *****
