The tongue is a dual edge sword, words used to lift up or shred. Bullying has become a national past time. Berating and belittling those who can’t or won’t fight back. I dealt with it, my daughter dealt with it and now my grand daughter. Yeah, it’s personal. This author took this tender subject listening to the voices of the Bullied and blasts us with an emotional read. Her voice is finally heard but at what cost. She’s one of the lucky ones but nothing erases the words, the violence of being bullied. Then he sees her. He sees beyond it all and instantly (not a fan of those but hey, I got over it) as his eyes are opened by seeing her, those eyes now see her battle. I love this story and yeah I got an hea to boot!! But be prepared, this author doesn’t pull punches, it’s raw, it’s harsh, it’s real down dirty and painful. Then she has the nerve to make you feel everything about it. Of course I wanted more but hells bells at least she left me wanting it for good reason. A shorty but a goody. Love this author!!
I really loved this insta-love novel. Nell has been through so much in her young life and its honesty so heartbreaking. When Law walked into her life, you could see a shift in her. She started to come out of her shell and really blossomed. Law was literally her knight in shining armour and I loved how dedicated he was to Nell and how he treated her like she was his whole world. My only complaint about this novel was that it was too short. I didn’t want Law and Nell’s story to end. I loved how we got two epilogues at the ending of the book and I loved how the novel took place in Alberta. I don’t see many books set in Canada and I thought that was really cool. I would definitely recommend this book.
I really enjoyed this story. The only thing I regret it was not longer. I would have like to see their full journey. These are more insta love stories which is good, but this one left me wanting more. Nell is a quite, but strong girl. Law just sexy, demanding, and a has a heart of gold. If you like fast pace books then this is for you.
And KL Donn has proven once again why I love her so much. She has hit a home run with yet another book. Her alpha males always make you swoon and want to punch them all in the same breath. She definitely has a way with words that you fall in love with immediately.
These two, Law and Nell, are thrown together under less than pleasurable circumstances. He is leading a double life. Nell is being mistreated every way she turns. Just when you think they get their HEA, KL Donn throws you for a loop. It’s a must read by this author!! It’s a short novella that you will fly through!!
KL Donn has a special way of making you feel the emotion she pours into her words. This was a fabulous read full of gritty emotion. Nell and Law will steal your heart and give you everything you are wanting in a great read.
I have to say, I was quite blown away by ‘Bullied, In His Arms’ by KL Donn! It was a fast-paced, ‘love at first sight’ story, unlike one I have ever read before. Nell and Law had unmistakable chemistry from minute one.
Yes, the age difference did bother me some, however the rest of the novella was perfect just as written; it definitely got right to the point without any unnecessary fillers. I do wish it had been longer; I wasn’t ready for it to end!
I am a new fan of KL Donn, as this is the first book I’ve read by this author. I am definitely going to read more, and I’m sure I will love all future books!!!

Law and Nell’s story is so unexpected, but is now one of my favorite love stories. Nell just wants to stay to herself. Keep her head down and her heart protected. Being on her own a lot since her father is a trucker, isn’t easy and has even given the other students a few names to call her. But there is one person that sees beyond all of that and that’s who Nell is the most worried about. Law has to keep is head on straight and get this job done before he can do what he’s wanted to do since he first laid his eyes on her. She is his forever, he just hopes that he can convince her that she was made for him, and that he will never leave her. I absolutely loved this story, a page turner to the very end. As always KL does not disappoint.
Sweet beautiful Insta love what more could u want oh maybe a hot tattooed alpha male …. okay done !
I absolutely loved the cute yummy book I always know if I pic up a book with KL Donn’s name on it that I’ll enjoy it and this is no exception read it in one sitting I just need to know what was next with Law and Nell ….
Definitely another must read !
Bullied in his Arms by K.L. Donn is book 2 in the In Her Arms series. It is an emotionally beautiful and poignant story that will have you rooting for the main characters to get their HEA while enjoying the action and steamy romance that is undeniable. This novella deals with a powerful subject and while this novella is short and sweet, the plot is very much fully written and entertaining. KL Donn writes a satisfying read, her characters will keep you hooked and enthralled while the heat factor is on point. I can’t wait for book 3 in this series.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *******
Bullied In His Arms is a quick, insta-love, suspenseful, drama filled, story. It was written well, and dealt with bullying. Law swooped in to save Nell when she needed him. My gosh all the feelings you feel. Good story!
Nell and Law are basically the perfect couple. They compliment each other, they complete each other and they make me so happy. While Nell is a strong person, the way others have treated her make her more of an introvert and more skeptical of people. Law is a go getter, an idgaf type of person who gets what he wants. This book was a quick read with all the love, action and steamy sexy times I’ve come to expect from KL. I’m looking forward to the next release!!!
The author:
I think at this point it’s safe to say that I love this author. It’s really hard to find someone who writes my perfect type of books. Some write novella’s that seem to skip a ton of important details or action romance that don’t have enough of the romance to balance out the action and to keep me interested.
KL Donn does such an amazing job. Her instalove novellas are definitely my favorite novella’s out there. (Not lying… Am obsessed) She somehow squeezes in a wonderful story that has enough detail to actually make sense and without leaving all those unanswered questions.
This book was no different. She somehow came up with this amazing plot, fan freaking tastic characters and packed it full of all the feels. All in approximately 70 kindle pages. (90 if you use the same text size and font I use)
*Law*
He was every bit an alpha male and I loved every single moment of his story. He had this arrogant aura about him, but in a way that was super sexy, not incredibly annoying. He is an, I’ve found what I want and I will have it, kinda guy. My favorite.
*Nell*
I see so much of myself in her. Thankfully, I was never bullied in school but I also never really fit in. Heck, I hardly fit in with the adults. Her story broke my heart and I was so happy when Law stood up for her. (that’s all you’ll get from me via the plot)
So, overall, I would recommend this book to all you instalove, alpha male romance book lovers (my people). This is the second book in a series, and while I don’t think it’s necessary to read the first one in order to understand this one, I would still suggest you do.
This is a fast paced read that will absolutely pull you in to Nell’s story. Her pain, her bullies, the life she deals with daily. Law is a powerful source that sweeps in to her life and keeps everyone on their toes. His secrets keep you right there on the edge. The story is full of heat, strength and love. A must.
A Law a day…
Keeps the bullies away. Especially if the law is Law Brentwood!
KL Donn never fails to give us drool-worthy alpha heroes who make it their priority to save a damsel in distress, and this one, Law, makes me want to ask, where the heck was he when I needed him?
‘Coz yeah, Law can bully me ANY. TIME.
Otherwise, why the heck is this one so damn short? It’s like I took a deep breath and have yet to exhale! Oh yeah, it’s a novella. Sigh.
Anyway. Readers, if you want a short, sweet read with a whole lot of alpha hotness, go snatch this one up, BUT. LAW. IS. MINE.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Law Brentwood
KL Donn has a real winner here. Nell and Law are the perfect example of alpha and his girl. Law knows what he wants and who he wants and that’s Nell. Nell is tired of being bullied and teased and when Law sets his sights on her she is confused and doubtful. But Law takes matters into his own hands and tells her like it is.
This book is hot and you’ll want to more but KL does her best leaving us wanting more
LOVED THIS BOOK!
Law is steamy.
Nell is sweet.
They are the perfect combination for each other.
K.L. Donn has a way of fitting so much into a novella that it feels like you are reading an entire book. She lets the book flow so effortlessly.
Despite having a loving father, Nell has witnessed heart ache at home and evil at school.
Law becomes Nell’s fierce protector, you can feel his love for her as you read page after page. However, Law has secrets he keeps from Nell. Will she be able to look past the lies when all his secrets come to the surface? Read to find out!
Can’t wait for more!
I should never be surprised by the amazingness that is a KL Donn book, but every time I am! I absolutely loved the latest from KL Donn. Nell Tucker is the girl picked on in school, but when the enigma that is Law Brentwood steps up to claim what is his that all changes for her. He is the tattooed, mature guy in school that catches her eye, even if she tries to downplay the pull. Yet what bad boy is without his share of secrets? Law knows the timing isn’t perfect, but he wont walk away from Nell. Their story meant without its’ bumps in the road, but wow is it worth the ride!
Wow! I love KL Donn’s stories because they are so refreshing but so loving with so much emotion thrown in. I love Law and his need to claim his woman regardless of what he needed to be doing at the time. But when love comes into play, there is no timeline. Nell is innocent but so strong and I felt for her. Their chemistry was explosive and I could feel the tension and their connection from the beginning. I couldn’t put it down and read it in one sitting.
This wasn’t what I expected, instead it was so much better. KL Donn captures the essence of her characters and makes them jump of the page. The story flows beautifully and organically that you forget you’re reading and fall completely and utterly into the pages of the book.

Review Law is hot! That man just oozes off the page. A little drama, a little suspense and lots of hotness! Great story that deals with a difficult subject. Written really well!
