“You’re in our world now, Princess. You’re ours.”My whole life, I’ve been groomed as American royalty, raised to be the perfect daughter of the wealthy elite.On my sixteenth birthday, my father bought me an Aston Martin.And on my seventeenth birthday, the Feds took everything away.With my father in prison for fraud and nothing left to our name, my mom and I are forced to move to a tiny house … I are forced to move to a tiny house across town, and I transfer to Slateview Public.
The only problem is, nearly everyone at my new school has reason to despise my family name. They want to see a princess brought low, and they’ll do whatever it takes to make me fall.
Money was the language of my old world, but violence is the language of my new one. The only way I’ll survive until graduation is to make a deal with three gorgeous, dangerous devils—the ones everyone calls the Lost Boys.
If I accept their bargain, Bishop, Misael, and Kace will protect me.
But they’ll own me too.
This is the first book in the Slateview High series, a reverse harem bully romance. It contains steamy scenes and dark subject matter.

A terrific RH bully romance!
I really like when they combine the bully romance with the reverse harem trope even though is is a bit there to think that a Virgin in high school or even a girl who has had a boyfriend or two before is suddenly ready to handle a polyamorous relationship and all that comes with it. I mean I can’t imagine the slut shaming that would occur between high school girls in case like this even if the guys she is with are the ones that “run the school” like the lost boys do in this book. They certainly aren’t with her all the time.
But that is beside the point because this is all fake so I can just enjoy it as is. This book was a bit different than a lot of the books I have read where the girl suddenly is in a rich neighborhood or school and she is either on scholarship or has moved in with family that is rich and is bullied by the rich kids who think she doesn’t belong.
In this case Cordelia (Cora) is from the wealthy side of the tracks and she is one of the wealthiest. She has no idea how the other half lives but her life is not perfect either, though she really doesn’t realize how imperfect it is until things change. Her father is arrested for fraud, the FBI seizes most of their possessions and Cora and her mother are forced to moved to a two bedroom rental on the other side of the tracks.
She lives across the street from three very hot guys who live in separate houses all next to each other but the three guys are always together and act like brothers and stare at her like they know her. The first day of her senior year at the public high school Cora finds out that everyone in the high school hates her because of business deals her father made which basically made a lot of people lose their homes and businesses. They call her names, push and shove her and basically hassle her non stop.
She also finds out that even the teachers and administration won’t step in and help her while the other student curse at her and call her a slut right in front of them. She finds out that “The Lost Boys” run the school and they are the three guys that live across the street from her. They are called that because none of them have parents, they all live with foster families.
There were a few things about this story I didn’t understand, like the fact that the lost boys seemed to be as mad about what Cora’s father did as the rest of the school and just as willing to take it out on her. They even said when they made the deal with her that they would protect her from the rest of the school but they would punish her. But then they never do. They just take her to parties and kiss her. But I did really like the story and I will read on. That is not enough for me to lower my rating.
When circumstances bring Coralia to a place she never imagined her to be Slateview High . She was done with the bullying the very first day . The second was going towards its worst when “The lost boys” came and said “we would be protecting you and you’ll be ours ” .
Bishop wanted to terrify her but ended up rubbing her clit and fingering her making her cum on his fingers
Misale was the sweetest and funniest
Kave was the rudest viber to be
Coriala was attracted to all the three of them the moment she saw them infront of her new house in the downtown neighbourhood .
Can the lost boys resist her ??
This book is an easy to read interesting book that would keep you indulged with its twists and turns and with ohh so steamy sex scenes .
And this book will leave you at edge
A must read for romance lovers specially readers fantasizing threesome or group sex it’s a treat for you . @evashwoodEva Ashwood
I fell in love with all these boys! Great high school reverse harem story. I didn’t get bored or sceaved out. The steam scenes were uber hot! The storyline was original and entertaining. I totally recommend this book!!
This book has you gripped from the very first page! There’s lots of mystery and suspense and emotions running high throughout.
Cora and the Lost Boys are complexed, interesting and deep. I feel we have only scratched the surface on what’s hiding underneath them and I truly don’t know what’s going to happen next or how they will be affected with how this book ended!
Looking forward to reading more!
This book was hot! Cora is put into a new school, new life after her father unexpectedly gets arrested. She meets the lost boys. They run the school and have taken a interest in Cora! There definitely is more to this story that I need to know. Definitely jumping into book 2 now!
Wow! I loved this book! The story is amazing and I love the characters! I got so into this one that I listened to the audiobook in one go! The Narrator did a fantastic job! This is an awesome start to this series! I can’t wait to see where this story goes!
If i could give this book more than 5 stars i happily would. It was that good. I thought i had this book sussed out by just the blurb but it completely threw me. If you read this book take everything you think you know about bully RH books because this great book is nothing like that and you know what its all the better for it. Briefly its about a rich girl fall from grace and ending up in place where shes not exactly welcome. By everyone including the Lost Boys a group of guys who rule her new school. So she either sinks or swims to get one. This book is blindingly good and omg that cliffhanger ending blew me away. Just brilliant
5 stars for Lost Boys by Eva Ashwood. This is book 1 in the Statview High Series. This is my first book by Ashwood but I can tell you she has made a fan out of me. Cora’s life has been turned upside down. She has gone from being the rich girl to now being the poor who’s dad is in jail for fraud. She is now having to attend Slateview Public. Her start here is not what she expected. Everyone hates her because of things her dad did. Then she meets the lost boys Bishop, Misael and Kace. She hates all three of them but is attracted to all three of them. They take her under their protection. Slowly their relationship begins to change. Then Bam cliffhanger. I Love Coralee’s character, she is not going to let anyone walk all over her. She might be afraid but she still stands her ground. I am loving this book and can not wait to read Wild Girl.
Genre- Romantic Suspense /Bully Romance
Heat-5/5

Cliffhanger – Yes and it is a doozie
Feels-4.5/5
Cover-4/5
Hero/Heroes – 5/5
Heroine- 5/5
Overall- 5 stars
I held out on reading this book because I had a feeling that the story was going to original and epic and to have a huge cliffhanger…. and I was completely correct! Eva showed a take on a Bully Romance that I hadn’t seen before. I am used to all the academy and prep school romances with bullies who are wealthy and elite and the FMC is a charity case or scholarship kid, etc. But in Lost Boys, the rills a reversed and it is awesome. Cora is from a wealthy, but disgraced family while the guys are 3 poor foster kids for the wrong side of town. It makes for a new and interesting dynamic that keep me interested and captivated throughout. Thank goodness Wild Girl is already out, or I would have a serious problem!
Received this ARC from Author for Honest Review.
I Give this Book a 4.5/5 Star Rating, Listing as 5.
HEA(?): Not Yet.
Cliffhanger(?): Yes! Great Cliffhanger!
Romance: 2/5 it’s on the low spectrum but it’s kinda-ish there, but this is Book 1 after all.
Drama: 4/5
Suspense: 4.5/5
Heat: 4/5
Mystery Factor: 5/5, What the heck is going on?!!! Lol Awesome!!
No Spoilers.
I have to give props to Cora, she’s one of the few lead females that’s stands her ground when she’s able to, she doesn’t have a spoiled child’s personality.
She has her own mind and I really like the fact that she’s looking for validation in things and to me she’s also doesn’t appear to be naive.
The Boys, I like them all evenly, and they’re super mysterious. I honestly don’t want to give to much away, So I’ll just leave it as is. Lol
I’m pre-ordering this book immediately, this is a really great read and well written.
The story to me, never dragged once.
I completely recommend this book!
I’m excited to read the next book, really enjoyed the cliffhanger.
Will I Read more of this Series? Yes.
Will I Read more from this Author? Absolutely!
Losing everything may not be the worst thing…
I’m not sure what I was expecting going into this book but it definitely wasn’t what I got.
The character’s adapting definitely pulled me in. The boys are bullies, that’s just their world. Eva Ashwood let her bullies grow though and show they are human. They had a plan but let learning who she actually is to alter their initial perception. Not just keep bullying her for bullies sake!
Cora was a hard read at first. Wasn’t sure if I liked her in the beginning. Finally showing there is some fight in her and made herself worthy of their attention.
This book was an awesome flow. Their interactions were awkward and stilted initially but you felt the progression naturally. Leading to protecting what was theirs no matter the consequences.
I can’t wait to get into the mystery. Whatever the boys are into definitely connects to Cora’s previous life. Oh the drama!
Oh and I totally licked Kace. He’s mine now!
I was provided an ARC for an honest review.
I’ve been waiting so long to read something like this,
where the main characters are not rich Prep schoolboys but vice versa
Cordelia comes from a very wealthy family, she is beautiful she has manners,
her life is like a princess until his father is arrested.
They lose their status, house, personal belongings, and their employees.
And they are forced to move from their mansion to a cheap neighborhood
She is also forced to go to Public school where her family is hated.
Going to a new school is not easy for her when the whole school is against her
Bishop Kace and Misael three boys who rules this school, they cruel hot alpha males
When they meet the beautiful Cordelia they turn the girl’s life upside down
Once upon a time there was a girl from wealth. She had no control over her life and was pretty much her parents puppet.
Now, she has her freedom, but it came with a hefty price.
Her home is now on the wrong side of the tracks and all that she was, she no longer is.
They are the first to lay eyes upon her. A new neighbour, and dangerous new meat at school.
To protect and claim or deny and watch that is the question, but what is the answer?
Wow wow wow!! my heart has well and truly been stolen!
Charming, unpredictable and quiet are they as a combined force, but each and every boy touched me in a different way.
I loved the passion in their words, the protection in their actions and the unspoken promise in the air around them.
Dark and dangerous but loyal and committed heaven in a trio!
Shes an innocent thrust into an unknown environment. Gone are the prim and proper, replaced by the grime and dirt, filth and slop.
I admired her resolve to try and make the best of a bad situation. Her unwavering hope and determination to believe only made my like her more.
My emotions were all over the shop reading this. I got upset, I got angry, I swooned and then I gave in and fell hard for the lost boys.
I’ve read alot of this trope recently, but I can say without a shadow of a doubt this is one of the best, and I’m counting down the days until I know more about “Wild Girl” where the story continues.
Eva Ashwood did her thing! This being her first book, she did such an amazing job.
I freaking loved Lost Boys! It pulled me in from the very beginning. It has the right amount of darkness, mystery, and hotness.
I like the dynamics between Cordelia, Bishop, Kace, & Misael. You have 3 hot alpha males and a girl that led trying to navigate her new life.
Lost Boys has become one of my favorite bully RH romances. I can’t wait to see what Eva has in store for us with the next book.
**** I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy ****
I have no idea where to begin, this book was freaking amazingly awesome. So if you like dark bully reverse hare romance then you need to add this book to your list.
This book has mystery, heat, deep emotions and the right amount of darkness for each character. Cordelia life changes in one day, from being the top/elite to falling all the way to the bottom. She is thrust in another environment that she does not know how to navigate and simply put in her place really quick. She is hated because of her father and she cannot do a thing about it or can she? Then you have Bishop, Kace and Misael who are the Lost Boys. These three guys are hot as sin, bad boys with some dark pasts. They control her new environment and she learns that they own her. Cora is attracted to these guys and she Is scared of them as well. Her attraction to them is instantaneous and hot. These three know they want her and will offer her what she needs. Is she ready to give into them for the protection she needs to survive. Can she handle it and overcome? Will she strengthened their bond or break it?
This book will capture you within the first page!! Be prepared for some intense scenes and actions. what a rollercoaster ride. I loved this book and cannot wait for the next book.
