Fabulous start to what will be a fabulous series I love this authors ability to create unique worlds that are filled with mystery and intrigue。 The heroine Hadley has a difficult past that we only scratch the surface of but is independent, strong and feisty。 The various male characters are all equally intriguing and I definitely want to know more。 This left me with so many questions I want answers for and am excited to spend more time at Pacific Prep。
Ashleigh,
One of my favourites this year Speechless。 Totally mind blown。 I wasn’t aware quite how much I was going to love these books and they are already looking to make my favourites of 2021! Book one has me begging for more。 The writing is amazing and the storyline has me hooked。 Hadley shows all of my favourite leading lady traits, she’s fierce and even though she doesn’t have the best history she is still a badass。 The guys, well, I’m desperate to get more of a background on these guys’ friendships, One of my favourites this year Speechless。 Totally mind blown。 I wasn’t aware quite how much I was going to love these books and they are already looking to make my favourites of 2021!

I feel more confused about his stony exterior but that caring side?! And that sneaky little addition that we get to know。 Wow。 I’m blatantly hinting at the plot twist and won’t tell any of you what it is because DAMN!! I wasnt readyyy!!Im totally invested in all of these characters already。 This isn’t just another prep school, rich guy / scholarship girl series。 We have so many things going on and it’s fantastic。 If I was going to recommend an contemporary academy reverse harem to anyone, it’s this one。 。。。more
Erin Figueiredo,
FREAKING EXCITING!! OMG – WOW! Damn, this is one suspenseful, utterly thrilling, intense and freaking sexy book that had my emotions going haywire and my heart beating like crazy! Hadley’s story got its hooks into me, I couldn’t put it down and I never wanted the story to stop。 I was totally and utterly consumed by her story。 It’s gritty, angst filled and emotional, plus it is riddled with so much anger and pain that it will have your head spinning in all directions。 Hadley is fierce, smart, sas FREAKING EXCITING!!

K。A。 Greenough,
Once again I desperately wish I could give more than 5 stars。 I was expecting this to be another pretty good academy dark romance or something, but I was pleasantly surprised as I read and found this story ticking off every box I didn’t even know I had of tropes and themes and twists that make basically the perfect story。 I’m obsessed already and I can’t wait for book 2。
Felicia,
Omg。 This book was amazing I could not put it down。 Hardly is 18 and in the foster care。 She heads to Pacific Prep where she meets the Prince's of the school。 This book wow I was not expecting that at the end。 I can't wait for book two。 I have questions that need answers。 Omg。 This book was amazing I could not put it down。 Hardly is 18 and in the foster care。 She heads to Pacific Prep where she meets the Prince's of the school。 This book wow I was not expecting that at the end。 I can't wait for book two。 I have questions that need answers。 。。。more

Michelle The Outgoing Bookworm ,
Well this book had a plot twist that I didn’t see coming。 I like a good surprise when reading new books by an author I like。 Predictability gets boring after awhile。Hadley is an enigma。 Just when you have her figured out - BAM the author throws a wrench in it。 There’s more than meets the eye with her。 The guys are a little more predictable but still enjoyable to read about them。Look forward to seeing how the story arc plays out。
Nessa,
My head is currently reeling with all that has gone on in this book。 Hadley gets a scholarship to Pacific Prep, and refuses to conform to the hierarchy and unspoken rules。 This puts her head to head against the four Princes at school。 Every time I thought I had this story figured out, a huge wrench gets thrown into the story that completely blew my mind。 I cannot believe all the different pieces of this story that are going on, and I'm excited to get my hands on the rest of this series。Please no My head is currently reeling with all that has gone on in this book。 Hadley gets a scholarship to Pacific Prep, and refuses to conform to the hierarchy and unspoken rules。 This puts her head to head against the four Princes at school。 Every time I thought I had this story figured out, a huge wrench gets thrown into the story that completely blew my mind。 I cannot believe all the different pieces of this story that are going on, and I'm excited to get my hands on the rest of this series。Please note that I did receive an ARC of this book, and the opinions expressed in this review are my own。 。。。more

This book is epic and it’s going to be an amazing series。 Read it!!!

Nicole,
I had to put this off for a bit, and I kept hearing amazing things from this book。 Those rumors didn’t disappoint。 This book is like all of my favorite academy books in one。 But, it’s so much better。 The twists are unexpected, the steam is scorching, and the drama is dark and mysterious。 The cliffhanger…。 It had levels。 I have so many questions, and I can’t wait till the next book!!!

They also each bring a different element… Hawk is the angry one, Cam the flirty fun one, West the nerdy one although he hides a darker side and Mason is the quiet observant one。 My opinions of the boys changed throughout the story but I have a feeling I’m going to like them all as the series goes on。 The only character I’m not convinced about Beck, I’m sure he is Shady and up-to now Im not really sold on what he adds to the story。 Hence, definitely shady and up to something or does he save the day?! I need book 2 asap so I can find out before I go out of my mind。 The story is a must read。 I loved the angst, the drama and the wittiness that made me laugh a bit too。 Very excited to see what the next book brings and continue on this epic rollercoaster。 。。。more

Holy freaking crap! I just finished and this book was phenomenal。 The set up, the secrets, the history, the mystery…dude。 Whatever you think is going to happen, leave it at the door because this entire book will surprise you。 Hadley is a scholarship student at Pacific Prep, and her reasons for being there are her own。 She doesn’t want to make friends, create bonds, she wants a better life for herself…。no matter what。 I cannot wait for the next book。 I finished the book and screamed。

I was blown away by not only the storyline but the characters themselves。 I’m not sure the last time I was hooked on the first book of a new series like this。 I got frustrated whenever I had to put it down。 The book starts with Hadley starting her senior year of high school at Pacific Prep。 Coming from foster care with no experience with a luxury lifestyle she is shocked at how the rich live and act。 She immediately shows that even though she isn’t from their world R。A。 hit this out of the park! I was blown away by not only the storyline but the characters themselves。 I’m not sure the last time I was hooked on the first book of a new series like this。 I got frustrated whenever I had to put it down。 The book starts with Hadley starting her senior year of high school at Pacific Prep。 Coming from foster care with no experience with a luxury lifestyle she is shocked at how the rich live and act。 She immediately shows that even though she isn’t from their world it doesn’t mean she will automatically fall in line。 Hadley is strong and doesn’t back down from anyone。 She doesn’t care about social status or how much is in everyone’s bank account。 She is there for a chance at freedom and to have control over her life。 Not even a week into the school year she makes some impressions on the Princes。 West, Mason, Hawk, and Cam run the school。 They have more power than the teachers and everyone bows down to them。 Cam is the typical playboy who could get any girl he wanted with just one look。 He is immediately infuriated with Hadley though when she doesn’t crave his charm。 Mason is the quiet observer。 He watches people to find their strengths and weaknesses。 He can’t seem to get a good read on Hadley though which makes him more interested。 West is the smarts of the group。 He has great hacking skills which makes him good at finding information。 He is taken back with Hadley’s lack of knowledge in computers and technology in general。 Hawk is a giant alphole。 After accidentally running into Hadley he makes it his mission to make her life miserable。 Hadley and him both have tempers and need to be in control which cause them to constantly be at each other’s throats。There was a lot more to this book than just bullying。 We find out things aren’t as they seem with Hadley’s past。 The guys may be Princes but their life isn’t as perfect as it appears。 The twist at the end had me shocked。 I didn’t expect that at all and had to put my kindle down to process what happened。 Of course I picked it right back up to keep reading。 There is so much we still don’t know and after that cliffhanger I am dying for the next book。 I have a feeling this is going to be one of my new favorite series。 。。。more
