Whatever It Takes (Bad Reputation Duet) Review: The angst! - Willow and Garrison own my heart and soul. I've been waiting for this books for years, I kid you not. As you can imagine, my expectations were high. I find Willow entirely too relatable. It's like the authors managed to get into my head to create Willow Hale. We see Willow's first semester of college throughout the book, and I saw my own experience at college here. She's quite and a bit awkward, but she also has this quiet bravery that I hope and strive for. Garrison Abbey is so full of self-loathing. He's a guy who has made a lot of mistakes in his young life, and while he strives to make better choices, he feels like he'll never be worthy of anyone's forgiveness. This book is told through Past and Present scenes, which I thought worked really well. My one peeve was that all the "Past" scenes in this book were straight from the web series. So if you read the web series, you've read about half of this book already. However, the "Present" scenes more than make up for it. The "Past" scenes show you how Willow and Garrison met, and their evolution from strangers to friends. The "Present" scenes follow Willow in college, Garrison working at Cobalt Inc., and them trying to maintain their long distance relationship. My heart was so full after reading this. I cannot wait for the next book. This does end in a bit of a cliffhanger, so the 28th cannot get here soon enough. I'm expecting a few things for book 2, and I hope it delivers. I recommend this to anyone who likes their angsty romances. Also, if you've read and enjoyed a K.B. book, you will love this one! Review: Meets the expectations and leaves you wanting MORE! - I liked this book. I liked it a lot. (desertcart needs to let us rate properly: 4.5 stars) Let's ease into this review by saying it wasn't the best Krista and Becca Ritchie, but for fans of their Addicted/Calloway Sisters series, the books of Bad Reputation duet are GOLD. Willow and Garrison's story had been long expected, and in my humble opinion, our favorite authors did us right! The story follows two timelines: the present, Willow and Garrison already 'together' - Willow in London attending college, Garrison in Philly working at Cobalt Inc; the past, Willow new in Philly searching for a family she never knew she had, Garrison trying to find his way out of the mess that is, well, his life. The 'before' chapters were emotionally heavy but sweet - we see both Willow and Garrison on their paths to self-discovery. It's very new-adult-ish. The friendship between the two main characters is very prominent in the book, even more than a relationship that is pretty tame. These authors had written some of the best sex scenes I'd ever read, so I was a bit disappointed there weren't more heated moments. However, the overall 'feel' of the book suited Willow and Garrison's story, so I don't really object. The 'present' chapters brought much-needed angst to the story. Long-distance relationships aren't exactly fun, especially for Willow and Garrison, with their doubts and insecurities, Willow's fear that her newly acquired fame would destroy her college experience, Garrison's self-destructive tendencies, and trepidation for the relationship they both want to fight for when the circumstances make them feel powerless and vulnerable. All in all, this was a nice and deep look at the beginning of Willow and Garrison's friendship/relationship. However, I hope for more content in Wherever You Are: more sexiness, more angst, more EVERYTHING. Even though the outcome of their relationship isn't anything new for the fans, the ending of Whatever It Takes left me heartbroken. I'm not sure if I'd recommend these books as a starting point if you haven't read any Krista and Becca Ritchie before; personally, I'd feel hella lost. That said, if you feel adventurous, why not pick it up - I'm sure you'll want more as soon as you're done, and that means jumping into the world of awesomeness these authors created with their books. For the longtime fans, I'm sure you're already reading, no recommendations needed. To all, happy reading, hope you love it as much as I did. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,310,667 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,436 in New Adult & College Romance (Books) #78,044 in Literature & Fiction (Books) #90,522 in Contemporary Romance (Books) | | Book 1 of 2 | Bad Reputation Duet | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (1,195) | | Dimensions | 5.3 x 0.9 x 8.4 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1950165213 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1950165216 | | Item Weight | 1.01 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | January 21, 2020 | | Publisher | K.B.

Because you’re my girl, and that’s not going to change.” *by H***N on January 22, 2020* Reading this book over these past two days has been absolutely wonderful. I read it slowly because I did not want it to end. Willow and Garrison are absolutely amazing. This is a book that I have been dying for. It was everything I wanted and so much more. This story is so different from other new adult romance’s out there. It starts off with a bang. Once you pick up this bad boy and his girl you will not want to put them down. Garrison is a tortured soul calling out for help. Willow is a wallflower who is daring to be brave. Together they are just what each other needs. Willow and Garrison are made for each other and even though they struggle they still fight for their love. This story is full of emotions and angst. It will captivate you and make you feel. I promise you that Garrison and Willow will steal your hearts. I can not wait to read part 2 “Wherever You Are”. This one ends so good and has me craving more. I am absolutely in Love with this story. If you have never read a KBR book before this is an amazing place to start!! P.S. This book is about two side characters in the “Addicted/ Calloway Sisters” Series but you do not have to read that series to enjoy Willow and Garrison’s story. ## Frequently Bought Together - Whatever It Takes: 1 (Bad Reputation Duet) - Wherever You Are: 2 (Bad Reputation Duet) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/222276073-whatever-it-takes-bad-reputation-duet](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/222276073-whatever-it-takes-bad-reputation-duet) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
