Spicy, danger and three tattooed men that wish to get vengeance on the women they were bullied by in high school and the women that they are now starting to see her true colours, while realising how much they all want her. Plot twist at the end of the book and I look forward to the next one...

Wow.
I went into this book blind—having not read the series this is a spinoff of—and was pleasantly surprised.
The guys... they all seemed to complement each other, while offering Lennon a sense of stability in her upturned world.
Unwrapping Lennon's background and why she was so cruel in high school... I wasn't surprised to read what I did but I did feel for her. And while I do not condone her behaviour, I can understand her wanting to protect herself.
While the guys tried to break her—as retribution for her past mistakes—they also gave her something she had never had - family. So, I could see why she felt drawn to them all and why they were all drawn to her: "Like calls to like.”
As their relationship slowly morphed from loathing to 'friendship', so did the feeling coming off the pages.
No longer was I waiting for the bad.
I could feel the tension growing, feelings sprouting and blooming, the chemistry... igniting.
And when that sexual tension finally snapped? H.O.T!
I am so looking forward to book two.
I need answers!

I couldn’t put it down!
I don’t remember where I saw this book but the blurb was intriguing- it’s rare that the female is the one doing the bullying- so I gave it a shot. I’m so glad I did because I was hooked! I loved watching Lennon come into her own and the spicy scenes were so hot. I’ve never read any of this author’s work before but I will definitely be checking it out more of her stuff

Really enjoyed this book. The backstory building up to the current time line is solid and woven well to show the history of the characters. Each character is well written, the smut is great, and the storyline outside of the smut is actually present. Excited to read the next book in the series
This book is kind of weird and moves too fast at some points. For the most part I liked the plot but I think it should have been drawn out more. I feel like the boys held this anger towards Lennon for so long and to only keep it for what a week? It doesn’t make sense. I really did enjoy the incorporation of church I feel like theres always an eerie feeling that comes with it in stories like this; which I really enjoy. I also love anything having to do with tattoo artists I feel like it’s a harder type of book to find and if done right such a good concept.
Summary: Lennon Rose was a terrible person in high school. She made it her personal mission to terrorize Silas, Damon, and Jude. She was deeply insecure due to a poor home life and took it out on the three because she feared they could see through her. She carries a lot of guilt, but she’s more focused on self-preservation. Which is why after graduating she moved away. Ten years later the ‘perfect life’ she constructed for herself is crumbling after she leaves her fiancé who cheated on her. She comes back to her home town, in desperate need of a job. After searching she finds her only option is to work for the three men who she tortured for years. With need for a new employee the boys make a plan to make her life the hell she made theirs in high school.
So a quick breakdown of the characters: First up is Lennon our leading lady, She’s fiery and sick and tired of her circumstances. She grew up unloved and forgotten. Her mother is emotionally manipulative and neglected her as a child, similar to Silas. His parents were part of a cult and he’s well known for having grown up in a house with a large chapel. His childhood was described as purgatory, cold and alone. He definitely holds the most resentment towards Lennon but he moved past it, much quicker than I expected. Next we have Damon, we don’t know too much about him yet. He’s protective over Lennon and his friends he also seems to be the most ‘adventurous’ out of the group. I think his character will have a lot more depth in the next book. Finally we have Jude. He has this pent up rage, he’s very silent and stoic. He seem’s to be extremely level headed to a point of concern. Out of everyone he’s the one to fear most. I’m excited to see how far he’ll go in the next book. He likes to make waves and I expect nothing less.

I did love this one the steam was amazing but I feel like the story went too fast and needed to be more of a slow burn. Like overnight they went from hating each other to being madly in love with not a lot of explanations on how they got there. Still I love it and reread sometime.
PLEASE READ TW BEFORE STARTING THIS BOOK.
I’ve been looking for a reverse harem book for soo long and this one didn’t disappoint me. Such a great book and I truly enjoyed it. Can’t wait to read the next one. I love the introduction of the characters and the amount of suspense Amanda created to keep you reading it. Also I do enjoy a lot stories when some type of cult is involved in some way. I think I will enjoy this series a lot and this book I would definitely recommend it if someone is looking for a reverse harem romance with some bully to lovers.
