Hello,
My name is Vanessa Liebe and I write fun & sexy erotic romances, both contemporary and
historical. Today I’d like to discuss some of my favourite ‘bad girls’ or kick
ass heroines in books I have read.
Number One - Lisbeth Salander in the Millennium
Trilogy. For me, this character is awe inspiring. I love the fact that she
is such a survivior and uses any means, legal or otherwise to pursue her
revenge, as well as justice. Intelligent, strong and a computer hacker.
Number two – Tracy Whitney in If Tomorrow Comes. I simply love how
this lady ends up being a thief from an innocent. After getting her revenge on
the Mafia, she has no choice but to turn to crime to survive. I enjoyed every
minute of her burglaries and the interaction between her and a co-thief.
Number three – Lucky Santangelo in the
seven books by Jackie Collins. What isn’t there to like about this kick ass
lady? The family motto of ‘Never fuck with a Santangelo’ says it all. Lucky has
beauty, brains and she’s tough as nails.
Number four – Emma in Emma by Jane Austen. This beautiful heroine, gossips, belittles people and interferes in the
lives of others and yet you can’t help liking her and of course this charming
bad girl finds redemption in the end.
Number Five - Alexandra Poe in POE. A female
bounty hunter – how awesome. This lady is super tough and never backs down from
a fight. Sometimes to her detriment.
Bad girls are much more memorable in books and I certainly enjoyed
writing about some. Who are your favourite bad girls of literature?

Book Description:
A cat burgler. A petty cash thief. A desperate housewife. A nosy cat sitter. A reckless basejumper. What could these five women have in common? They are all Bad Girls.
When Gemma climbs into the first apartment on her list to burgle, she is distracted by something more enticing than money and jewels. A moment's hesitation, and she ends up paying for her crime in a most unexpected fashion.
All Shannah wants is a new pair of shoes. They are a bargain, but still not within her means. She finds a way to pay for them, but ends up with far more than she bargains for. Are they really worth the price she must pay?
Melissa is frustrated with her husband away on business all the time. She takes desperate action in order to prompt a response from him, but she may have gone too far. She gets a response alright and things become hotter than she thought they could. Does this naughty housewife manage to save her marriage, or not?
While cat sitting, Jess can't resist the urge to get comfortable. She makes herself at home and in the process crosses some boundaries that her 'host' is far from happy about. Fortunately, she also finds the means to her own—end.
Olivia, The Cat, Davis thrives on the danger and the thrill of jumping off of buildings. The taller the better. As she attempts her ultimate jump, she is met with a stern warning that she has chosen the wrong building this time. If she survives the fall, will she survive the aftermath?
In pursuit of their selfish dreams, each one of these wildly beautiful, but very naughty girls comes up against a man who can teach them right from wrong, and that there are consequences to their actions. Consequences they are more than happy to dish up.
Excerpt:
Anger rising,
Alex followed the wet prints, down the hall, up the stairs and along – he
clenched his jaw – to his bedroom! The prints were fresh to show up on the
carpet like this and Alex was furious. Not only was someone in his house,
abusing his trust by making free with it, but they were showing a total lack of
respect for it. The wooden flooring downstairs could be damaged by the wet foot
prints. However, he'd worry about that in a moment. Right now he was more
concerned with who the hell was leaving water everywhere.
He entered his
room to hear the TV on in the bathroom. His fists clenched. Leaving water all
over the house, using his bathroom and watching his new TV. Someone was in
serious trouble.
Alex quickly
glanced around his room to see what else had been used or taken. He noticed the
vibrator on the bedside table and growled. Jesus. The person had even rifled
through his box of toys in the wardrobe and taken one out ready to play with.
Rather absurdly, Alex just couldn't connect that action with his cool blonde
neighbor. Zara was nice enough, pretty enough, but she didn't seem the sort who
would like anything more than vanilla sex.
Alex's musings
were interrupted by the bathroom door opening and a stunning raven haired woman
coming out. She was wearing his robe which tipped his anger over the edge. It
swamped her, despite her being fairly tall and his fingers itched to rip it off
the beautiful stranger. Take his property back.
"Who the
hell are you?" he ground out through clenched teeth.
She jumped,
gulped and then recovered her poise. She flicked her long hair over a shoulder
and looked at him haughtily with a raised brow. "More to the point. Who
are you?"
Alex had to
admire her brass necked cheek, but it was going to end very badly for her.
"I own this
house."
He watched the
dawning realization that she was in trouble register in her green eyes.
"Oh," she said.
"Oh
indeed."
Then she looked
at him defiantly. "Well, Mr. Young. I'm Zara's cousin, Jess. She had to go
away for two nights. Something came up at work and so she asked me to look
after your darling cat for you."
Alex's gaze
raked her form. "And you decided to move in and make free with my
bathroom, did you?"
She smirked.
"Actually I used your kitchen to cook myself dinner, I frolicked naked in
your hot tub, while drinking your wine and then I made free with your
bathroom."
Alex's eyes
narrowed. She was unbelievable. Totally unrepentant about what she'd done.
He watched as
she sauntered over to wear he stood.
"If you'll
just move, I'll be out of your hair," she said looking up at him.
"And I'll return the robe tomorrow." She made to reach for the door
handle, giving him an expectant look. But Alex didn't budge.
Instead he
reached for the belt on the robe and tugged it loose. "On the contrary,
Jess. I want my robe back and you're not going anywhere."
