TITLE: Hannaford Prep: The Complete Series
GENRE: New Adult Romance
AUTHOR: J Bree
TROPE: Enemies-to-Lovers, Academy, Why-Choose
TYPE: Series (Hannaford Prep Complete Series)
POV: Multiple POV
MY RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5

I loved how the whole series were combined into one book, which I consumed over the weekend. It is a bit of a slow burn on the spice and the why-choose aspect, but the story was enjoyable and kept me interested.

Lips (Eclipse) has earned herself a scholarship at Hannaford Prep which she is determined to complete to build a better life away from all the tragedy she has endured to get here. Only one problem is that no one on a scholarship has made it past the first year at Hannaford Prep, and all the rich kids hate her.

Hannaford Prep is a story of revenge, tragedy, love, friendship and family. I am giving a 4 / 5 Star rating.

Lips- Ash, Harley, Blaise. Bullies to lovers. More mysterious than smutty, but great development of the mystery and suspense

Hannaford prep is a 4 book series with multiple spin off series.

5/5⭐️
- Reverse harem
- Boarding school
- Bully romance

I was hesitant about starting this series but it had me hooked from chapter 1! There are so many twists and turns throughout this series that you don't see coming.

The sexual tension between Lips and our boys is top tier and there's just the right amount of spice. It builds up throughout thee books which I loved as it meant you actually got to understand the characters first.

Lips is such a guarded person that has to learn to open up and trust those around her. And we can't forget my one true love from this series, our ice queen - Avery Beaumont!!!

Mindblowing!

This series absolutely drew me in! From the very first moment of trying to piece together the back story of the Wolf of Mounts Bay I was so intrigued.

Lips, the Wolf of the Bay, had a traumatic childhood, leading to being initiated into gang life. Trying to leave it all behind she ventures into a scholarship at Hannesford Prep where she is met with extreme hostility and learns she doesn't have Queen status outside of Mounts Bay.

This series has amazing pacing and had me spiralling in the best way. I adored the mix of back story and hazing/bully antics in the early part, and absolutely devoured the building tension as the cleverly crafted plot went on.
The dynamics of the characters, the found family, dark DARK gang themes and suspense were sensational. It is so worth a read, it was pure entertainment. Every character was given their moment, I love the way we get to know so much about the intricacies of the Mounts Bay world and Lips family. The spice is plentiful, had my heart racing and was in perfrct balance with the dark plot.

I am now 100% a life long fan of J Bree's writing, brain and character creation. As a whole this series was 5

Hannaford Prep Complete Series by J Bree Review
Rating: 5 Stars
Quote I Love: “You’ll need to come up with better insults than that. The guy sings like a fucking audible orgasm.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I first started reading this series I planned on writing reviews for each book individually. I didn’t plan on getting sweeped up into this dark, gruesome, bloody, badass world that is Hannaford Prep. I was completely captivated by the ‘wolf’ who is Lips. She was such a badass and I love her character so much. She was smart, independent, and deadly. Her character had so much depth and backstory, your heart will honestly break for her and you will also admire her as well.
.
I cannot forget about her harem of men Ash, Blaise, and Harley. Each man had their own charms that called to my heart. Ash with his dark protective side, Blaise with his sexy attitude and sinful voice, and Harley with his soft side and golden locks. While each guy is good looking and each has their unique personalities they are all deadly, like Lips. I fell for the darkness they all have within them.
.
While this novel focuses on Lips and her men, the side character’s also have depth to them and also get lots of attention. Avery, who is Ash’s twin sister, is the ice queen of Hannaford Prep and I friggin love her. Her and Lips have this beautiful friendship and connect over their tragic backstories and their need for world domination. Those two are such a great team and I absolutely adore them together. Avery with the guys was amazing as well. Their banter had me laughing till my stomach hurt.
.
This novel made me laugh, swoon, and had my heart pumping with all the action and suspense. The storyline kept me up at all hours of the day. Sleep was not a thing while I was reading this novel. I cannot wait to dive into the other books within this world by J Bree. I highly recommend this series if you are looking for a dark reverse harem series to read.

This is my UPTEENTH re-read of this series, I know some people complain as it starts with the FMC as a 15 year old, but to be fair it goes by years of high school and every thing escalates from there. The storyline was so good, my brother is currently reading the series and my husband read the whole series in a matter of days. J. Bree brings characters to life in such a way, that you don't just fall in love with the FMC but all of the love interests and side characters.

I have seen reviews where there are complaints on how the main character constantly speaks of "rich people" or how "hot" the guys are in the book, but I get why LIPS would be repetitive in this aspect due to what she went through to get to Hannaford Prep.

This book is a why choose, enemy to lovers, DARK romance with LOTS of plot that keeps you flipping pages, and in the later books PLENTY of smut. ;) I highly suggest this series to anyone who doesn't want just steam but a plot that keeps you guessing as well as gives you the "WHAT?!" factor in the further books.

Good series, but so may errors.

I really liked this series. So many ups and downs, twists and turns. But my neck so many spelling errors I had to read some lines multiple times just to understand what they were trying to say.
