About this audiobook
West Golden—so easy to hate, yet so hard to resist.
Don’t let that pretty face of his fool you. He isn’t the boy next door, or the kind you trust with your heart. He’s the devil in designer jeans, with all the charm of a bona fide psycho.
Trust me.
He swears I did something to cross him before I even stepped foot inside Cypress Prep, but it’s a lie. No one knows better than me that I’m all out of chances. One more misstep and I can kiss my future goodbye, which means I can’t possibly be guilty of whatever he thinks I’ve done.
West marks me with a target anyway, and as this town’s football star, no one dares to go against him. His money, status, and the loyalty of his equally entitled brothers makes him seem untouchable. Only, I know better than that.
This false god isn’t infallible like he wants the world to believe. Whenever I stare into those devilish green eyes, I see it plain as day. The chink in his armor. His one and only weakness.
Me.
The King of Cypress Prep has finally met his match, and taking him down just became an inside job.
***
The Golden Boys are all smokin’ hot, but there’s only one guy for Blue Riley, which means this romance isn’t a reverse harem. Also, full disclosure, this saga does contain strong bully themes. So, if you’re not into romances where hate turns into love (well … eventually), and if you don’t like your heroes of the unapologetically alpha variety, this might not be the book for you. There is no rape or dubious consent whatsoever. However, due to adult themes and sexual situations, this one’s only for the 18+ crowd.
This series is sure to give you GOSSIP GIRL and ONE TREE HILL vibes, and the angst will keep you burning through the pages to find out what happens next. One-click and get lost in this series today!
Smooches!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It had potential to be way better than it was. The drama was extra drawn out with repeat inner monologues expressing the same meltdowns. Character’s personalities didn’t feel like they fit with their back stories very well and were flipped to add extra drama that really wasn’t needed. Got better in the end. Will continue series since I hate leaving drama stories unfinished. This was big on the irrational very teenage style drama.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This story had potential. It felt so slow going to me. The main characters were likable enough, but even listening to this book on 3x it was slow. It also felt juvenile and the gossip girl imitation segments just added to the slow down for me. I often like high school bully or enemies to lovers stories as many are able to walk a the line between the characters being age appropriate with enough maturity to get submersed and take it seriously, but this wasn’t one of those books for me.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It's definitely stringing me along wanting to know what happens. I wish there was a little more steam but that's the only thing I can think of to complain about. Also punishing the other woman in an affair especially if she has no knowledge that the man is in a relationship sucks and I'm not a fan but I can see how it works to the plot. I just hate slut shaming.
