This is the reverse age-gap, bully, teacher/student, forbidden romance I have been BEGGING for (like a good girl, on my knees), and FINALLY a well written, salacious age gap romance has wormed its way into my smol grabby hands! I loved everything about this book, and I don't really care if the rest of the world hated it!
Everly was a bright, young, 24 year old reporter when she sent 10 year old Cullen Ayer's father to prison for his crimes. And that one event has a snowball effect on Cullen's entire childhood. He grew up without his father, he was abused by his guardian, and he thought his life was worthless. So when he showed up to his college journalism class 8 years later, and she was the professor, he vowed then and there to make her life a living nightmare. And Sara Cate wrote this dynamic so deliciously!
I love that this book tipped a little dark, and had a heavy degradation smink with a side order of praise, it also has a long shopping list of triggers, so if you need that, it is available for you in her book! I was sad when this book ended, and would have loved 300 more pages of bullying before they got together, it was THAT GOOD.
The voice narrators were amazing as well, they were engaging, and enhanced the story with their incredible acting skills. It was well done all around!

Here’s the reverse age gap kinky student-teacher bully romance I didn’t know I needed in my life. I ate that sh*t up!! It was more intense than I expected going into it, but it was such a good story! And the spice was 😩🤌🏻 I swear Sara Cate laces her books with something because they’re so addicting!!
