Taking all the blame
This book is a fantastic example of how this author is such a versatile writer. She took what would have been a teenage high story and added all the elements that brought it to the next level of wonderful. I enjoyed the way these enemies became lovers, the alpha dominance of Cole and the tender forgiving nature of Pink, and when you factor in the seriousness of every aspect of the actual story it makes for a book you won’t want to put down and will find yourself reading again. I don’t know how she is going to top this book with another one, but I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

This is an enemy to lovers romance or for a high school staged romance. What I consider a “Bully Romance”. I don’t know if anyone remembers the old saying “He picking on you because he likes you and won’t admit it”? This is it.
Going to a really small school myself, I know how easily the entire school can be persuaded in one direction or another due to the “cool kids group”. And oblivious as people are, reading the reviews, high schoolers have sex, lots of sex, HA! Just saying… add in the paranormal aspect of wolf shifters you know there is gonna be more. Alpha Bully (Wolf Ridge High #1) by Renee Rose wraps all that up in one hot little package.
Cole is out for Bailey due to the turmoil in his life. Is it Bailey’s fault, no. But Cole is getting the not so friendly reminder of her existence at home from his father. And who else for Cole to take it out on than Bailey. Just remember Love and Hate go hand and hand. Which Cole finds out quickly and it pisses him off more.
Bailey, on the other hand, has her own battles she is fighting on top of Cole’s all-out war on her. She is a submissive character. She has been through more than most. She is the girl next door type who sees the good and drives everyone insane. But she also puts up a brick wall at times covering up all her own issues. Putting herself last.
Does Cole walk all over Bailey? Yes. Does Bailey give in easily to Cole? Yes. Can we say this definition of an Alpha Bully / Submissive relationship? In my book, Yup! I am hoping book 2 will dive more into the pack. Into the Shifter side of this series. Wondering if maybe there is something in Bailey’s background that drew Cole in so hard. Maybe she is part Shifter?
I was entertain from beginning to the end of this storyline. The characters are well developed and engaging and have plenty of chemistry.

I love this book a lot. Its a paranormal bully romance and I really could not out down as I was hooked from the beginning. Great characters and the storyline was intense but loved so much
Talk about a Erotic shifter romance, well this book has it all. A sexy Alpha wolf shifter and his one true mate. Their Hot pure lust and chemistry turns out to be done pretty damn Hot bdsm sex between them. The storyline keeps you reading and I love Cole and Bails hea.
This book hit all the right buttons for me! I love dirty talk and have note really found a great book that truly embraces that, UNTIL NOW! The story of Cole and Bailey is sweet yet dirty! Each sex scene was as hot as the last! The story line was great and I loved the connection to the Bad Boy Alphas series! I totally want more!!!!
This is a dark romance so there may be some trigger themes in it for some readers. I absolutely loved this book. The plot was brilliant and so very very well written. The characters were well developed and had interesting believable dialogue. Bailey is a strong feisty female character who Cole tries to destroy but finds that’s not quite as easy as he anticipated. There’s plenty of steam in this novel as the plot progresses.

I absolutely love Renee Rose’s stories. There is always such a richly descriptive story with characters that pop off the pages. I am looking forward to the next book in this story. I love how love always wins.
Bailey and her mother have recently moved to the small town of Wolf Ridge. Bailey needs to go to high school and the best school for her to go to is 15 miles away. It is a good prep school. But she refuses to drive after she had an accident that killed her best friend. So she has to go to the local school by bus. She is totally ostracized by everyone and she ends up learning why. Her mother was hired at the local brewery because the last manager let it get so bad that it was shut down because of all sorts of safety violations. It just so happens that the old manager is their drunk next door neighbor. His son now works weekends to keep a roof over their head and Ramon noodles in the cupboards. The son is the high school quarterback and like a God around here. When he tells everyone to not talk with the new girl, nobody talks to her.
Cole has had a lot of disappointment in his life. His mother left them for another man and has never contacted them again. When his dad lost his job at the brewery, probably because he was drinking too much of the product, he was fired. When his replacement moved right next door, he had to be supportive of his father and made sure the daughter who went to school with him now would want to leave and maybe take her mother so his dad can get his job back. Being the quarterback on the school football team gives him a lot of clout with the students., most of which are wolf shifters. He works weekends, when there isn’t a game to play, at the local garage to bring money into the house since his father can’t seem to find his way out of a bottle unless it is to beat his son. In one class he sits next to Bailey, where she is the star student, and stole her pop quiz paper because he needs to keep a C average to play ball and he didn’t do his homework, he had to work. The next time she actually tilted her finished paper so he could copy off of her. He starts to get to know her and he really likes her. When he saves her from being molested by a teacher, he takes her under his wing, but only in private. In public, he is still her Bully. In his pack, shifters aren’t allowed to mate with humans. When an ex girlfriend claims that she is pregnant by him, he denies it and claims that he is using the human to get revenge for his father. When Bailey finds out what he said, he then has to try to make it up to her, if she would only give him a chance to explain.

I normally don’t read high school age books but the blurb for Alpha Bully by Renee Rose sucked me in completely.
Bailey is a new student and Cole is out for revenge. Follow along with these two as they navigate through ups and downs. These two together and not together are fantastic.
I will say, I hope there is update on them in later books.
YA tale with depth..highly recommended
I generally avoid bully romance books, however, I tried this because I love Renee Rose. I’m so glad I did – this book is amazing! Bailey and Cole are wounded souls, and their journey to healing (and each other) is deftly, sensitively handled with powerful storytelling. Through it all, there’s the signature heat found in Renee’s books, so have a fan handy. You get
I found myself cheering for Bailey and Cole and hope there will be books devoted to the secondary characters.

Holy Moly this book was really good! This is a New Adult book with a Bully/Romance theme going on in it. It is gritty, raw, and sexual and sometimes frighteningly accurate on how I think high school is for some teenagers in this day and age. Bailey and Cole are polar opposites. Bailey is the new girl at school, getting over a tragedy and who is sassy, unique and doesn’t fit into any mould. This is in comparison to Cole who is the ‘alpha-hole’ of his school: jock, arrogant and trying to make Bailey’s life a living hell due to her mother taking her father’s job.
There are moments in the book which are quite cringe-worthy due to the extremes Cole will go to too make Bailey’s life a misery. He makes sure people from the school do the same and there is also an incident between Bailey and another teacher which is frightening in the fact that it probably does happen. The saving grace for Cole (although not an excuse) is that you understand why he is doing what he is doing and do feel some empathy towards him and his family.
Bailey and Cole are well written characters and I really like that Ms. Rose wrote a character (Bailey) who is a strong and sassy character (although she does cry an awful lot) and she just doesn’t put up with Cole’s crap. Another strong thing about the book is that we see both characters POV, so we get some deeper understanding of why they act the way they do.
This book is really quite erotic, and you do tend to forget that it is a YA book. Some of the scenes are quite explicit and will make you a little hot under the collar. But this isn’t what the whole book was about and sexy scenes were accurately placed without taking away from the story.
If you enjoy bully romances with shifters….oh did I not tell you that part! Then you’re going to love Alpha Bully and hopefully it will tick all of your boxes on what you enjoy in a YA book. I can’t wait to see what else is offered in this series and really hope we see more of Raine who is really sweet and a good friend.
ARC received for a fair and honest review.

I love this author and this book just continues to prove why. Always sexy and interesting with characters who compliment each other without being the same person. Definitely worth picking up.
Cole the alpha of wolf ridge high decides he will torment the new girl because his father became a alcoholic and lost his job, Bailey’s mother got the job; it is even worse that they moved in next door and he is attracted to her. Bailey who Cole calls Pink does not know 80% of the town are wolf shifters or why Cole bullies her. She allows it because it touches something inside of her. She touches something inside of him. To others they are enemies but he protects her from a predatory teacher and they become the protectors of each others secrets until he humiliates her in front of the pack alpha and his father. Cole then stands up and becomes a man to win his girl. A really good story.

Need more of Wolf Ridge
What a great story. Bailey and Cole – the push and pull. Cole started out as her bully. Hating her, hating the way he wanted her. He needed someone to blame for his family troubles. Bailey is fighting her own guilt and when she’s shunned at this new school it’s almost too much until guards come down and real feelings are shared. This story is romantic, steamy (main characters are 18), emotional (I had tears fill behind my eyes in several places) and heart filling. I hope there’s more coming from this Wolf Ridge group. Maybe Bo… Highly recommend. Some alpa-holes, spanking, dominate traits exhibited so if this is your thing, I think you’d like this story.
When I first read the blurb for this book I was really undecided. Why would I want to read a book about high school kids? But I am a fan of books by Renee Rose so I thought I would try it before I made my decision. I’m so glad that I did! It was much better than I anticipated or expected. Cole & Bailey were fantastic characters that totally engrossed me in their story. I loved the twist of drama that was unexpected but very welcome. As the start of a new series, this is a great starting point & if the future books are as entertaining as this, I’ll remain a very happy reader.
Wow! Alpha Bully kept me glued! Once I started it, I didn’t want to stop. Bailey is a senior and a nerdy new student at Wolf Ridge High and Cole is the high school football star and bad boy. She doesn’t understand why the kids here are mean to her and don’t talk to her. He tries to bully Bailey, but feels the need to protect her. Wants to hate her, but is drawn to her. Wants to push her away, but wants to comfort her.

Fantastic story full of drama, lies, sexual chemistry & love which was not what I was expecting with ‘Bully’ in the title. Cole hates his neighbour Bailey because he blames her mum for his dad’s job. Losing his job mean’t his dad was making life hell for him & his sister. He makes sure he alienates Bailey from the whole school. He torments her but it annoys him how drawn he is to her aswell, when the are alone she sees a different side to him but then at home & school he goes back to his mean self. When she is attacked his true feelings for her show which also means he will have to reveal his secret. This book is hot & steamy with full on drama that has you Gripped to the end.

Return to Wolf Ridge, this time at the high school for (mostly) wolf-shifters. This is not a YA book, as it has very adult themes. I read this because I love Renee’s writing and admire her skill in world and character building, telling a good story, and keeping my libido active. But I did not expect to like it, being a “bully romance”. Should have known better, this is a great story with as much of an HEA as a high school romance can have, and for goodness sake don’t let the “bully” part put you off. Even bullies can be redeemed. Thank you Renee for another naughty 5 star read.
