Her Alien Bully by Michele Mills

4.0

3.5 stars. Cherise, the female human lead, was bullied by Horace, the male alien lead, all through high school, though she always fought back. Now an adult, she’s dismayed to be summoned to Horace’s office and told he expects her to marry him to repay her father’s gambling debts. And she doesn’t believe him when he tells he’s always wanted her…

This short story is dual POV, well written, and a sweet and steamy ex-bully romance. I don’t like bully romance but I do like this author’s writing. I enjoyed the independence and determination Cherise showed, as well as Horace’s genuine remorse and willingness to make amends, and the intense attraction between them that made attempting the relationship worth her effort. I appreciated that she didn’t immediately forgive him but worked through her justified resentment and anger as well as hearing his explanation.

I received a complimentary copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
