I’m slightly on the fence here!
I enjoy a bully romance, most of the time. I wasn’t sure I’d like this at first but it pulled me in and I couldn’t put it down.I’m having a love/hate relationship with West. He’s a typical bully in terms of enemies to lovers bully romances but I haven’t decided if I like him yet.
I’m torn as to whether I love it or hate it lol. I knew it was a series and would end on a cliffhanger but it would’ve been nice to have at least one question answered. Certain things just don’t make sense yet from Hunter’s vague warning, Vin lying for God knows what reason, and West.s secret, there’s just so much going on at once. I get it, we need to read the next two books, but give me something! I’m enjoying the read so far though.

This was a juicy little surprise!
I did not expect to love this as much as I did;
I LOVE a bully romance so knew I’d be in this, what I didn’t expect was to relate to Blue so much.
Being that parent figure to Scarlett and reading her having to do everything for her sister, hit home but I digress.
I have a lot of questions and it’s keeping me interested;
Who did hunter kill? Who is Robyn?
Why did vin have a phone with blues picture?
Who’s out to get hunter?
Will blue and west actually fucking talk WHO KNOWS

After reading SO many bully books it's nice to read one where the bully isn't quite the Dbag you expect. He's crap, don't get me wrong, but he's not as hateful as so many other books out there. His behavior makes the (inevitable) connection between the MCs more believable.
What did I just read?!? Holy...shit.(reminder to myself to remove that tidbit for Amazon)But holy smokes y'all, buckle up.The ups and downs, and twist and turns makes most roller coasters look tame. There are so many questions, and yes..it's a cliff hanger, not it is not RH. That's all I saying about the plot. This is straight bully at it's finest. I just wish I had the right words to put forth for my review, cause right now, other than holy shit...I got nothing.
The charcters, yes lets talk characters, we have Blue, and West. They are from opposites sides of the city, and the way people behave you would think they are from different countries. Simply put, West is a giant dbag. I mean, really, a giant one. Blue seems to lose her self respect as the book goes on. That's what dealing with bullies does to someone. I cannot wait for the next book, hopefully there are answers, cause I need them.

‘The Golden Boys’ is the first book in the bully romance series: ‘Kings of Cypress Pointe.’ These authors (Rachel Jonas & Nikki Thorne) are both new to me so I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy this book—especially considering that before this I was in a slump, unable to stick to anything—but i can say that I did.
This book helped to pull me out of my slump by drawing me in and capturing me attention from the start. It’s full of twists, turns and even more angst—which I thrive off of by the way—you never know what you’re going to get with these characters. With a strong female lead and a hot and cold male; both twisted and broken made for a great slow burn.
Blue Reilly is from the wrong side of the tracks, with dead beat parents who don’t care about her or her siblings, she’s left to raise her younger sister alone; doing her best to be the parental role model—and everything else—she needs. She’s selfless, putting her needs aside by trying to do the best that she can; this is where I could relate the most to Blue, so I made my understanding of her situation that much clearer as I could sympathise with her.
However, West Golden is just one of triplets. They come from money with a father who is manipulative and often caught in the act of his infidelity—specifically by West. West happens to come across of a picture of Blue in a compromising manner and from that moment on he hates her. So he considers it a sign from the universe when she transfers to his school and he takes it upon himself to make her pay for what he beloved she’s doing to his family.
Our ‘king Midas’ and ‘New Girl’’s dynamic is off the charts with constant back and forth between the two, they try hard to fight their attraction to one another but that doesn’t always pan out. The secrets withheld; the underlining of miscommunication all adds to the angst that these two characters face. Building to the explosion I know is going to come tumbling down around them.
There’s still so many questions especially around how Blue’s photo end up on West’s father’s phone. The curiosity is burning me alive I just want the answers now but I’m willing to be patient—so glad I don’t have to wait for book two.
An anonymous source posts updates of the coming and going of the elite—via an app—specifically targeting West and Blue. Sound familiar? Well it better. I loved this ‘Gossip Girl’ aspect so much, it add such an uniqueness to the series and my hope is that we won’t have to wait too long to find out who the person behind it all is (unlike with the original series).
After that cliffhanger, I can’t wait a second more to find out what happens next. Who cares what time it is right now? Or the fact that it’s 1 am. Book two here I come!
Boy oh boy.
Idk how I feel about this.
This isn’t a spicy book or a bully romance? Idk.
Lots of things that make me go ick.
Lots of stories that are 20% developed so you constantly have no idea wtf is going on in all the worst ways.
But
I feel like I might read the next book so I know how it ends?
