Going Down Hard
by Jordan Marie

Series background & context
Doing Bad Things is a short, high-heat series built around temptation and bad ideas that turn into real feelings. The books are quick reads with simple setups, strong chemistry, and a focus on the moment a character decides to stop being sensible.
The trio includes Going Down Hard, In Too Deep, and Taking It Slow. Even the titles show the range: sometimes it’s an all-in plunge, sometimes it’s the slow decision to break a rule one inch at a time.
These stories don’t ask you to memorize a huge cast or track a complicated timeline. Each book centers on one main couple and one main conflict, usually some mix of timing, secrets, and the fear of wanting someone too much.
If you read them in order, you’ll catch extra connections and a smoother emotional climb. If you want to sample first, you can also pick the title that matches your mood and treat it as a standalone.
Expect contemporary romance that prioritizes heat and a satisfying relationship arc.
It’s a good series for readers who like their love stories bold, fast, and a little reckless.
