October Virtual Book Tour: Bad Reputation – Emma Barry’s Latest Romance Novel

In this whip-smart workplace romance from the author of Chick Magnet, a former teen star and an accidental intimacy coordinator have a plan to fix their images—and falling in love would ruin everything.

“With BAD REPUTATION, Emma Barry has woven a delicate treasure of intimacy and sweetness, all wrapped up with the sexiest (him)bo. Stories about growing from past mistakes don’t always give its characters so much grace, but Barry’s tender handling of this Hollywood tale makes it impossible not to root for Maggie and Cole completely.” —Ali Rosen, Author of Alternate Endings

“Barry always manages to perfectly capture such tenderness between characters, in a way that hits you right in the feels. Immersive in both the contemporary worlds she creates and the exquisite depth of her characters, Barry is a must read. BAD REPUTATION is a deep and delicious treat.” —Charlotte Stein, Author of When Grumpy Met Sunshine

Emma Barry is the romance author you need to read. She is a talented writer and storyteller who crafts a contemporary romance that is a well-written, unputdownable book with the signature elements of a good rom-com. She creates relatable characters, describes lively settings that set the right mood, and best of all she imagines an engrossing, slow-burn romance that is absolutely swoon-worthy.  If you’re looking for a great read after devouring Bridgerton Season 3, you should add her latest stand-alone release, BAD REPUTATION (Montlake; October 1, 2024) to your TBR list this Fall.

BAD REPUTATION is set in the world of Hollywood and filmmaking and is about getting a do-over on your career when everyone thinks they know who you are, but you know that they’re wrong.

Cole James’s reputation as Hollywood’s favorite himbo no longer suits him. His fans can’t separate the real man from the character he played on a soapy teen drama decades ago. But that’s going to change with Waverley, the hit streaming historical romance series (think Bridgerton or Outlander).

Maggie Niven hates her own notoriety. Fired for directing a divisive play, Maggie takes her fight against censorship public. When Hollywood comes calling, she becomes the new intimacy coordinator for Waverley. But it’s harder than she imagined to focus on the job.

Cole isn’t what she expected—and Maggie is more than he dreamed of. As filming gets underway, the cast’s old traumas lead to real intimacy, and Cole and Maggie struggle with feelings they shouldn’t have. Having an affair on set could destroy his comeback and her new career.

The show must go on. But if Cole and Maggie want a happy ending, they’ll have to start doing things their own way.

For fans of romance novels by the likes of Christina Lauren, Ali Hazelwood, Kate Clayborn, Kate Canterbary and Lucy Parker, BAD REPUTATION is a must-read that will pull you in from the first page and will keep you reading until Happily Ever After.

To help celebrate the release of this new romance, we are hosting a virtual book tour with this outstanding list of book influencers who will post reviews, features, and giveaways. We hope you will follow along!

SYNOPSIS:

Six years have passed since their German boarding school days, and they have graduated to full-time undercover agent status. Their latest assignment? Going undercover as high school students – one public and one private. Claire and Jax not only have the chance to experience real high schools for the first time; they may also have to put the unorthodox skills they learned at Richter to good use. 

As an employee of MacBain Security and Solutions, Claire Kelly can certainly hold her own. Armed with an impressive set of covert skills, she’s more than prepared to tackle any job that comes her way…except one involving Cooper Lockman. Cooper and Claire used to work together before his feelings for her sent him packing to Europe for six long years. But now he’s back and determined to ignore the still-smoldering heat that lingers between them.

Their current mission: go undercover together at a California high school to root out the mastermind behind a prostitution ring targeting young girls. The closer they get to the truth and the closer they get to each other, however, the deadlier their task becomes. As Claire and Cooper risk their lives to bring down their target, will their hearts be the final casualties?
