Bad Girl: Les Pétales Kindle Edition

by Kailee Reese Samuels (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

21

See all formats and editions

I was a teenager when I ran away to Las Vegas determined to make it on my own in 1955. The choice was easy—stay for an ordinary marriage or escape for an extraordinary life. I took a chance on myself, trusted in fate, and boarded the bus bound for the unknown.

In the glitzy glamour of the showgirl scene, I entertained the famous, the elite, and the mafia. But what I never expected was the invitation from a mysterious stranger to land at my feet and invite me to explore my darkest desires.

With the mob hot on my trail, I decided to use my well-honed, entrepreneurial skills to advance my game and play a better one than their own. I wasn’t just another pretty face, but a cunning, ruthless bitch hellbent on getting what I wanted.

My name is Anna Ford.
This is my story.
And how it all came to be.

Standalone.

As a huge fan of Kailee, I had been patiently waiting for her to give us Anna's story and she delivered...amazingly!

"Find your happy ending every single day." Anna says this at the beginning of the book and I think after reading, you will agree she did try to do just that.

In Bad Girl, Anna is exposing her life to Sal, and she tells it all, the good, the bad, and the sexy. She started out her life as a showgirl in Vegas. She knew in order to move up in the world, she would have to make strategic partnerships. Some of those partnerships were dangerous but so beneficial. Some of her acquaintances turned friend or lover, and some of them turned dangerous, so very much so. But if anything, Anna is brave, she is a fighter.

With each character we meet that was a part of her past, you grow to fall in love with them. Precious Luca who had loved her so much, Wil who had seen the potential that Jake and Dr. Kerris had brought to her doorstep. And of course, Jake and Kerris each have their own merit, and while the going was sometimes tough with Jake, she stayed with him til the end. Each of them had so much to offer her, she was in a constant state of personal evolution.

Even in the hard parts of her life, the ones that broke you down as a reader, Anna was able to find hope. It's because of her enduring strength and need to prove herself that help her endure the pain. "I cried for the story I didn't think I could change, but that was where I was wrong. Changing the story is hard." But Anna is an ultimate Bad Girl and if anyone can come out on top, it's her.

Anna's self-reflection is so insightful, she has helped to put a lot of pieces into place for us fans of the Juliet world that Kailee has created. When faced with a challenge, she looked at it from multiple angles, if something didn't work, she changed it. She had a great crew to help her along the way, and she never failed to let them know she was grateful. This is such a beautiful read, and by the ending, you will find yourself made whole.

I'm in awe of Anna!

Reviewed in France on 14 February 2019

After I finished Big Girl, I had only one remaining question: Can this author's work get any better? I'm in awe of KRS' words, of this book, in awe of Anna.
I've always loved this character since I met her in The Initiation, but now? Her independance, strength, determination and maturity make of her one of the most fascinating heroine I have ever read.
Her playfulness. Her freedom. Her ambition. Her intelligence. Each one of her traits was so endearing I connected with her from the start and found myself utterly immersed in her world, in Vegas sparkling casinos, in the old chateau in France and in the debris and renovations in Texas.
BIG GIRL is the proof (if you even needed one) that you can't impose yourself limits as to what YOU THINK you want and don't want to read; you just have to trust Kailee Reese Samuels to let the words flow and lead you through her characters' feelings. The justess of the tone and emotions is fabulous. It's at turns (and sometimes all at once), beautiful and magic, raw and painful, sweet and gentle. I cried, hurt with Anna, laughed and smiled, felt her guilt, and passion.
Anna's story is about love, painful, tragic, epic, impossible. But most of all about finding the freedom she has always needed. She made errors, experiences, met a lot of people but never lost her fire and who she was. It's what I loved the most about her story. Even in her submission, she still found a way to show who she was. This emotional rollercoaster will break and heal you. And again. Its exquisite sensuality, its artistic erotism will leave you craving for more, its intensity will draw you in, but as always with this author, can you guess where you're going to end up at? The depth of all the characters combined with the depth of the storyline is brilliantly handled. To watch Anna play in this Man's World, and make herself a place into it, is a treat like no other. Find out how Juliet came to life, how early on everything started, and you will come back for more; with an ending like this one, you will have no other choice!!!

Wow, what it is to be Anna Ford.

Let's begin the review with this; This book is the life telling of Anna Ford, and as she says:

"The chapters of life are sometimes painful and brutal. And the only one to commiserate with me in the vat of loneliness was the voice in my head reminding me of the one thing I believed in—freedom."
~Anna

Now that you know that, let me tell you a little more about Anna Ford. And she is a woman of her own level. A woman before her time almost. She had a plan for her life, a way she wanted to live it, and she wasn't going to let anyone get in the way of it.
She had her finger in a lot of pies, so to speak, but as a Vegas showgirl, you do what you gotta do for you. She wanted a better life, and she was out to get it. And one of those things she wanted was Jake.

"We were unstoppable. I was the showgirl; he was the bad boy with the bullets."
~Anna

She and Jake were a complex mix of things, over many years. Showgirl and bodyguard, friends, lovers, dominate and submissive, to a couple. Their relationship spans the line, and knows no bounds as he shows her what it meant to submit.

"Fighting brought pleasure; losing brought pain.
Regardless of anything else in this world, Jake was mine, and I was his."
~Anna

Anna's life ranged many decades, and many people ran through it. Many repeating the course. I wouldn't say her life was easy by any means, but she definitely had her pleasures in it. One more than most. One that cared beyond the spectrum of the rest. This is what defines Anna's life. And this is the basis of her story.

“At what price is it to see my dreams come to fruition?” Loves was holding his hand until the bitter end.”
~Anna Ford~

Back in time to find out Anna Ford's story, reading this it is all starting to fall into place. You find out how Anna, was in love with Sals pops and that she was his mistress. Y definitely need to read these books in order, which u can download from Kailee's site, none of them are in order you would think they would be in.

Anna's Story is Empowering

Reviewed in the United States on 14 February 2019

In Bad Girl we enter another dynamic chapter of the Juliet world. Anna Ford is the founder of Juliet & this is her story. We meet a young Anna who has run away to Las Veges to escape the life she did not want to live in Texas. She discovers a life that she is both exciting & dangerous. She uses it to her advantage but it involves many dangerous men. Her story evolves from those encounters in Las Vegas to time in Europe than back home to Texas. She struggles with the love she has for two men & comes to understand that they both have a place in her life but not how she pictured them. The story is told to Sal as Anna is ready to confess a long held secret about her life & her love. Once again, Sal must learn a hard truth that will shake him but ultimately make him more determined to meet his final goal.

Kailee Reese Samuels has done it again by giving us Juliet fans (and soon to be Juliet fans) an indepth look into the story behind one of Juliet's key characters. She writes with a gift to take the reader on an exploration that is full of many emotions. It is a roller coaster ride for both Anna & the reader. This book is an absolute must for read & an empowering journey for our dear Grand Dame Anna Ford. Thanks Kailee.
