My rating:
Blurb:A long time ago, I was one of them. Now I’m back, and they hate me for it.
Plucked out of the harsh life I was living and thrust into a world of unimaginable wealth, power, and privilege, all I want to do is keep my head down and survive until graduation.
But they have other plans—Mason, Finn, Elias, and Cole.
Everyone at my new school calls them the Princes, and that’s exactly what they act like. They always get what they want… and who they want.
And they want me.
I’m not sure why, since they all seem to hate me.
The Princes are gorgeous, flawless, and cruel. They own this town, and they’re determined to own me too.
To break me.
What they don’t know is that I’ve already been broken once.
I won’t let it happen again.
***AUTHOR’S NOTE: Savage Royals is a reverse harem high school bully romance, the first book in the Boys of Oak Park Prep trilogy. It contains cursing and sexual situations.
Favorite Quotes:
Evil shouldn’t be allowed to exist in such pretty packages. It made it hard to see the devils underneath.
Bruh, I was all in love with this book, chugging along and then BAM! The big scary boys went and did something irredeemable. Why do they have to go so far? I love a good enemies to lovers book but this one is just plain sadistic. First off let me say that we never find closure as to why they hate on her so hard, secondly, Talia’s girl Leah bounces at the first sign of trouble, inconsistent with what a real friend would do. And also, Talia herself is one of the weakest heroine’s in a bully to romance story I have ever read! Like, she’s a fricking punching bag. Just when I think she is going to grow a backbone and fight, she caves in and trusts them! I don’t want to read about someone who doesn’t fight back, I want to read about someone who goes down swinging. And don’t give me shit about the next book will be better because it’s already too late for that. I won’t be reading it because the Princes went so far beyond what is appropriate in a bully to romance that I DON’T WANT THEM TO BE TOGETHER! I can suspend my belief for a good plot but this doesn’t fit that bill, it’s more like enemies to enemies with some kissing thrown it. It bordered on abuse and I don’t care to read anymore of it. It’s really too bad because it was a great story till the end, I was just hoping they could pull together against a common enemy.
I usually like this high school bully dramatic type of stuff, but I think I’m going to skip this one based on your review. No thanks! I think I would have some of the same problems.
