Once again, the author has written a splendid, enjoyable steamy romance involving a bully with shifter undertones. The plot is intriguing with suspenseful events & situations. The world building & scene descriptions are outstanding. The characters are well-developed complex individuals & have realistic emotional flaws & are over the legal age limit of 18yrs. The secondary characters offer some good support.
There is: a smart but feisty young female human (Bailey) is trying to adjust to new place (Wolf Ridge) & high school is shunned for being different by a group of group of students led by an alpha male quarterback (Cole) until he realizes what the heart wants cannot be denied. A despicable high school teacher (Brumgard)
There is: wolf shifters, humans, intrigue, suspense, drama, vengeful feelings, humor, secrets, deceit, adventure, action, strange attraction, possessiveness, threats, vulnerability, humiliation, warnings, memories, punishment, spankings, some BDSM, lies, heartache, emotional turmoil, anguish, unexpected allies, determination, confrontations, declaration, steamy scenes & a satisfying conclusion. I look forward to future books from this talented author & would recommend this “Bully Romance”
I love this author’s work and as soon as I saw she had an upcoming release I jumped at the chance to read it and it didn’t disappoint. PNR is my favorite trope and mix that with enemies to lovers/bully and this is the best. Bailey is a sweetheart and mature for her age but ever since she came to Wolf Ridge High she has been bullied by the star quarterback, Cole. Cole is super intense, angry and damaged. Will Bailey be able to tame Cole and get to the heart of his attitude? I can’t wait to see how this series progresses! I highly recommend this book!
This story could easily have gone sideways quickly.
In today’s climate bullying touches a raw nerve for most people. Even in fictitious circumstances.
Ms Rose walks a fine line between acceptance and condemnation of the actions and reactions of the two main characters, taking us back into their history to explain how they got to where they are.
Although this book is set in a fantasy environment, the basics of the story can easily be transposed into real life.
Add to that Ms Rose’ trademark love scenes, and you have a story that might generate divided reactions, but will also satisfy with its positive conclusion.
What a fantastic, sexy wolf shifter story!!!
Bailey is just trying to fit in at Wolf Ridge High School ever since her mom and her moved to Wolf Ridge. But Cole the leader of the Alpha-holes isn’t going to let the little human do that. He feels it’s Bailey’s mom’s fault that his dad lost his job and is a complete jerk to his family. So Cole takes it out on Bailey and he plans to break her in every way possible. This story is emotional, suspenseful, sexy and everything in between, it will definitely leave you satisfied in the end. The best thing about this story for me was how truly strong Bailey is and no matter what she will not let them get her down!!!! Definitely a must read and a great start for this new series!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Ok let me just say WOW I so loved this story Alpha Bully just had alot of elements that just call to my reader heart . I’ve read a few stories by the author and really enjoyed the stories she told this has got to be a favorite for me . I’m looking forward to read more by this author and I do hope to see more from these characters .
I’ll admit it, I’m a Renee Rose fan and she’s one of my one-click authors. So this “Alpha Bully” title in a High School series had me a bit apprehensive. You know, I’ve far surpassed the age of high school romances being my thing, but being a loyal fan I wanted to at least give it a shot and I’m so glad I did. She gave us HOT shifters, a vulnerable human, tragedy, angst, lies, secrets, and a HOT chemistry that ran throughout the book and just kept building. This is definitely not your average High School bully romance. This is a Renee Rose story with heart and heat. Congratulations!!! I was given a copy of this book and this is my honest review.
The worst that high school can be. Bailey was ostracized by the students, led by Cole. She was different than the majority of students. She was a human. I loved the premise of this story although it was a bit hard to read all the bullying that goes on. When Cole was brought down by the love he almost lost because of those around him, I applauded those who stood by and helped him gain perspective. Bailey was a strong young woman, standing up for herself despite trying to fit in. Cole was so confused but turned out to be stronger than he thought he could as he chased his future.
I received a copy of this story through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
I love Bully romances and this one hit it right on and we get shifters as a bonus yay!!
Cole was super intense I didn’t know what to expect as their is danger and laws set in place that cant be broken and Bailey was the biggest sweetest heart ever and so mature these to are on fire along with the hottest intense scenes ever that could change everything. Not what I was expecting but so much more I loved it.
I loved this bully romance with a shifter twist. I thought that this was a simply terrific book and a supurb start to this new series. This book focuses on Bailey and Cole’s story and it very quickly pulled me in with its complex characters an intense emotions. Baily was such a lovable character and my heart hurt for her. She was unique, spunky, smart, kind, sweet and stronger than she believed. Cole was a real jerk and a grade A alpha-hole but he also had layers and once you got the full picture you could understand and sympathize if not always approve of his actions. In the end he had wormed his way right into my heart. In spite of everything that happened, I could not help feeling that these two were soulmates. They made a really beautiful couple that tugged on my heartstrings with all they had to go through and melted my heart with the sweet and tender moments they shared. This couple also generates lots of sizzling heat and their intimate scenes were scorching! The story itself offers plenty of emotional turmoil, tension, drama, angst, heartache and splashes of humor. The book also features a interesting group of secondary characters that definitely deserve their own books. All I know is I want book two now!! This is my honest, voluntary review.
This is one of the best bully romance story I have read this year. I love Bailey a young girl trying to make it through a new town in school. And then we meet Cole alpha bully who wants to make bailey life miserable. But even bullies can be redeemed and fates can change. I really enjoyed this book I couldn’t put it down the story plot was written well and I am so invested in these characters and I am hoping that some of the secondary characters get there story told. Renee Rose wrote a outstanding book.
This book was so delicious. It reminded me if my years in high school with the different social groups so much, except I don’t think we had wolf shifters.
Cole and Bailey are 2 characters who define opposites attract. They are the most unlikely couple because first of all Cole hates her for reasons she can’t understand and secondly the whole wolf shifter thing.
Renee Rose’s books are always entertaining and fun to read. Her characters have depth and real emotions and problems.
I could see where this would be a good book, but, it was not for me. If Cole and Bailey had been older, I probably would have had more of an appreciation for it.
Don’t get me wrong. It is not because of the steamy aspects of the book. I’m not on some moral high horse.
I read this book (with hesitation) because I like Renee Rose’s work. The hesitation was because I do NOT enjoy books of any kind about YA’s. Yet, I was determined to give it try.
Although the note in the description states the steamy scenes are between characters over eighteen, I have no desire to read about high school or even college students. If I’m going to read about students, let them be at absolute minimum 25 years old, preferably older.
My issue was definitely because I could not overcome my lack of interest in the YA genre, not even for a Renee Rose book.
I would recommend you read this book and judge for yourself if the YA genre is not an issue for you.
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
I really liked this book. Cole hated Bailey but did he really? I did not put this book down until I was finished. Great story and chemistry.
Bailey is the new girl in school and town. Cole is the alpha-hole of the school and he’s hot. Cole bullies Bailey because of her mom replacing his dad at the local brewery. The couple can’t deny the attraction between them. Once you get to Cole’s home life you see why he treats Bailey in such a manner. Bailey gives as good as she gets, I liked that she wasn’t a doormat and stood up for herself. This is a sexy, steamy high school read for 18 and over only.
I wasn’t sure what I expected with this being centered around a high school bully but I should have known that Rose would not disappoint and I was right. I loved the story. Cole and Bailey are great characters and they each bring a unique perspective to the story and in the beginning these ideals are the opposite of each other. As the story progresses they come to realize their is a pull between them even though Cole is a shifter and Bailey is human only adds an additional dimension to the story. As usual Rose does not disappoint and this is a great read and I would highly recommend it.
She isnt where she should be. She doesnt belong at Wolf Ridge High.
Ostracized by the Alpha Male, the quaterback who controls the pupils.
He’s also the boy next door, and there’s just something about him.
Shes the human, the forbidden fruit is that why he wants her more than he should?
What a fantastic read to lose my Renee virginity to!
They should of been enemies, but circumstances changed that and before you know it you are spellbound, addicted and drooling!
I couldnt get enough of them. Her fire, his punishments, their fierce passion. Delicious!
Cole is the alpha through and through, but theres more to him than the eye initially sees..
Bailey she’s the girl who appears to be the new school nerd, but she has an admirable inner strength and her sass. I loved it!
Fantastic memorable characters and a storyline that has you cheering inside!
What more can you ask for?
Totally took me back to my high school days. Bully’s suck but, this one didn’t. Loved this book. Another win for Renee.
Sometimes it’s hard starting over in a new place, at a new school, especially when everyone ignores you and treats you like a pariah. Led by the head “alpha hole” of the school, Bailey feels like an outcast, tormented and not sure why. Cole, feels like taking his anger out on her, even though underneath he feels more than anger. When he steps in and protects her in a bad situation, things start changing with them. It’s slow at first, but it’s also intense. They were made for each other and you will totally love reading how it happens. I hope there will be more
This book…was so good!!!! I really loved this story! It was grit and mean and passionate, dirty and sassy and had heart. It was steamy and realistic and still fable like. It has amazing characters and a great plot and wonderful dialogue. It has hot scenes, heartbreak, redemption, lust, love and everything in-between.
The main character are so rich in detail and angst that I felt like I was there with them. I felt their hurt, their lust, their redemption. I was connected and totally invested.
I have really enjoyed this others other work, but this might be my favorite. It just clicks together and filled me with yummy delight. I have never read a bully book likes this, nor a shifter book like this. Its unique and perfect. The ending was amazing, but so was the beginning and middle. I really, REALLY hope this author decides to make this into a series and I hope I get to revisit this world! I had the extreme pleasure of reading this ARC and I am leaving an honest review.
It was only recently that I discovered a fondness for bully romances. I know they turn off a lot of people, but let me explain why I like books like this one. Cole comes across as a true alpha-hole, totally unredeemable. Until you get to know him, understand why he’s acting that way toward Bailey. Not that I condone bullying at any point, because I don’t. However, getting a look at what’s going on in his life off page so to speak, makes him seem more approachable as the hero of a romance. I liked watching his interactions with Bailey when others weren’t present, seeing the two of them grow closer.
This story is 100% erotic so definitely not for young adult readers, even though the main characters are in high school. The sex scenes weren’t just tossed in randomly, but were very well-placed and well-written. Ms. Rose used the intimate moments to bring her characters closer together.
If you enjoy a bully romance, especially one with shifters, then Alpha Bully by Renee Rose is a must read! My only lament was that it wasn’t longer. I’d hoped to get more of a glimpse of where Bailey and Cole were heading, but perhaps we’ll find out in another book at some point.
