About the Avalon Bay series
Avalon Bay is a beach-town new adult romance trilogy from Elle Kennedy, set in the fictional coastal town of the same name. Good Girl Complex follows Mac, a chronic people-pleaser, whose rule-following instincts are tested when she falls for a local bad boy. Bad Girl Reputation turns to a pair of exes who can't quite stay away from each other despite everything that drove them apart the first time. The Summer Girl closes the trilogy with a young woman returning to her Avalon Bay hometown for the summer, who finds herself drawn to the town's easygoing golden-boy charmer.
Each book centers on a different couple within the same close-knit beach town, giving the trilogy a shared setting and recurring secondary cast while each romance stands on its own.
