Charlie by Siobhan Davis:
4.5 stars
Siobhan Davis is one of those authors who always does it for me. She could write out a grocery list and I would find it enthralling. But instead, she gives us series like The Rydeville Elite and characters like Charlie Barron and I’ll never not be in love with her writing.
While reading the Rydeville Elite series, I enjoyed Charlie’s character… until I didn’t. To me, it was obvious that he was someone harboring some darkness, but even I had underestimated how dark it would go. I wasn’t sure if he was redeemable, or even if he should be. But still, I held steady in my faith that Siobhan would deliver and help Charlie see the light.
Charles Barron III has made a slew of mistakes, there’s no denying that. Adding Demi Alexander to that list is one he can’t forgive himself for, so instead he chooses to lash out and her instead. But oh, can Demi take it. She refuses to cower to her new boss and isn’t afraid to dish it back to him. These two have electric chemistry, which sizzles even hotter as they trade barbs and jabs with one another. But everyone knows the line between love and hate is thin, and it’s only a matter of time before that line breaks and everything comes to a head.
Charlie does ultimately prove that he’s redeemable, that his past mistakes don’t define him. Demi is the light that he needed to find his way through the darkness, while he provides the safety and love that Demi needs during the toughest time of her life. Their foundation may have been made on rocky grounds, but they ended up more solid than ever.
We also get to check in on some old friends, ones I’m sure we’ve all missed. The Elite is rebuilding and there’s danger in the horizon, but our crew is tough enough to handle it. I can’t wait to see what else is to come in this amazingly crafted universe!

Make You Beg by Shantel Tessier:
5 stars
Oh. My. Lord. Shantel always, always delivers whenever she writes, but I was instantly hooked with MYB! I felt a solid connection to Henley, even though I don’t share the same personal experiences she’s gone through. But there’s just something about her that is instantly relatable.
Scout, Dax, Rellik, and Law are very… intriguing too. There’s always something about a group of boys that run in a pack, and Scout definitely is the alpha, but it was Henley who was the belle of their ball.
Until she wasn’t.
This one has heaps of potential and I am DYING to know what happens next, like for real.
And did someone happen to spill some blood in the water??
——————
This is an amazing collection of stories from a seriously talented group of authors. Sometimes with anthology collections, I’m not always familiar with or huge fans of the authors involved, but I legit am well acquainted with all of these authors and I’m continuously blown away by their talent.
ALL of these stories are well worth reading and have me waiting for more! From a Bullet to a once disgraced member of the Elite, there’s a little something here for everyone. I was in awe reading these stories.
This anthology is also a wonderful way to sample an author’s writing if you aren’t familiar with it, AND you are supporting an amazing cause while doing so. I can’t recommend this collection more!
This anthology is jam packed with bully romance quickies. Some of them are prequels to stories that are to come and it has me SO EXCITED to read those books when they eventually publish. Most of them are standalone quickies though, and those are just good little bully romances. You may roll your eyes at the bully genre, but the proceeds for this anthology go to a good cause. So I suggest you one click this baby, and bless yourself with some of that tense bully romance magic. I will hold my review for each individual story, so that nothing is spoiled before people can read this, but this is definitely worth the purchase if you enjoy bully romances.
Loved the Bully Me anthology the for charity. A great cause and captivating stories. I loved each one and you get two amazing novellas and six tantalizing long previews to full bully books coming soon. All of the authors’ writing was perfection and I’m on the edge…excited for more! I also discovered a couple new authors for me which is thrilling. Definitely worth five stars.
These Guys Can Bully Me Anytime!!!
Review of Charlie by Siobhan Davis
I am a fan of the Rydeville Elite World so this was a great addition. We finally get Charlie’s story and it does not disappoint!!!
Charlie is a bit of a bitter jerk! Good thing he’s hot because at the start that was his only redeeming quality. After Abby left him for Kai, he’s decided to guard his heart.
Demi was a welcome distraction. She’s Charlie’s assistant that is so beautiful he can’t concentrate. The only way to keep his distance is to make her life miserable.
Charlie loves to push her buttons and Demi may need the job, but she’s not about to back down. Their banter is verbal foreplay. That fine line between love and hate is about to be obliterated.
Charlie can’t stop his attraction and he’s tired of being alone. Demi is his game changer. The only problem is, protecting her from the Elite World. He’ll have to choose love her or to let her go.
As always the Elite World bring us secrets and deception. You never quite know what’s coming next. As always, I look forward to more of these characters (Jackson especially) and this suspenseful series.
I have to preface this review with the fact that I abhor anyone that is a bully in real life. However, there is just something about it when it comes to fiction that intrigues me. A large part of it is seeing how authors can make the characters redeemable again. I liked to get into the minds of the characters and see how both the bully and the victim get their comeuppance. So this collection of stories was the perfect place to get my fix because they are some of the best out there to fuel that addiction. It also helps that the proceeds of this book also benefit a great cause that fights against bullying. All of these stories gave a very solid peek into a future book (except for one in which the story is a prequel) that will be expanded from this story or ended on a cliffhanger. However, I implore everyone to not wait because these books are all releasing soon and it either will satisfy your tastebuds, or help you discover a new author.
Charlie by Siobhan Davis
This was a complete surprise for me. Charlie was NOT my favorite person in the Ryeville Elite World. However, in hindsight after reading this book, I can see how there was a lot more to this character than what was shown in that series. This story picked up with just as much mystery and left it open to be continued in the future which was good because this story just reminded me how amazing that world was and showed me that I am glad it is not ending. I am looking forward to this being expanded into a full book at a later date.
Riot House by Callie Hart
This book… Holy hell. I am almost speechless. the characters, the setup, the story itself all were top-notch. There were so many cogs at play in this story that kept my mind buzzing. I have no idea who is friend or foe, what the motives are, or even where this story is going. All I know is that I need answers asap.
The Original Bullet by Coralee June
I loved the Bullet series so getting the chance to have this prequel of sorts was a delight. It was nice to see the origin of a story that showed the power of love and how it comes in a variety of ways and always manages to shine bright even in the darkest of places. Even though this was a prequel, I still wanted more of this period of time because these characters were special. I highly recommend this entire trilogy because it is very good.
The Boy and the Bridge by Sam Mariano
This book started out differently than typical books by this author. I kept waiting for the darker “bully” elements from characters like Mateo or Carter but they weren’t there. Just as soon as I finally settled into the story and was all about enjoying a sweet love story between Hunter and Riley, BAM, The Bully came out. I need the rest of the story ASAP. There is a reason that this author is one of my favorites.
Like You Care by Kaydence Snow
This is a new author to me but one I will be definitely checking out in the future. This story is a bit different than I was expecting in regards to the bullying. Even with that, it didn’t stop the hurt or malicious behind the bullying. The prologue was INTENSE which is why the cliffy really really stung. I cannot wait to read more and see how this ties back to the prologue.
Devil’s Day Party by CM Stunich
This was the most surprising of the stories in this anthology for me. The premise was FANTASTIC, and that ending?!?!?! HOLY TITFIRE. I cannot even say much about this story because I don’t want to ruin any spoilers. I will just say I whispered to myself, “What the hell?” several times and then found myself nodding my head like I was saying “right, on”. Well played on this one. I didn’t even see that twist in a million years. Not sure I have read it before and I read A LOT so that says something. This needs to come out PRONTO.
Make You Beg by Shantel Tessier
GAH, this author always leaves me on the verge of wanting to strangle her, hug her, or lock her in my basement to get all her words. She does the boys who love to play mind games better than just about anyone. Don’t believe me, read the Dare series with the GWS guys. This has a whopper of a cliffhanger and I need the answers now. Especially after the appearance of a few of my old favorite characters.
Hood River Rat
One of my favorite things about this author is that she pushes me out of my comfort zone and makes me read things that I normally would not read. She always writes a compelling story regardless of whether it twisted, taboo, or a bully romance. This story showcases that. I cannot wait to see how this story pans out because there is a lot at play here and that ending had me smack my chest and suck in my breath.
There were a few authors in here I haven’t read before. I enjoyed every single word!!! These prequels / novels made me absolutely read more from them!
Well done and for a great cause nonetheless!!!
Review of Charlie by Siobhan Davis
As always, Siobhan Davis writes her stories and captures you in the world of the book, so I really couldn’t put the book down!
Charlie Barron wasn’t on my favorite people list of the Rydeville Elite, because I never could figure out his motives but during this book I absolutely came to get to know him – thanks to the DPV – and love him! If he cares about someone he cares deeply!
Demi works as his assistant, and is one of the few people who stands up against him, which draws him to her. So he likes to rile her up! Which spikes up the chemistry A LOT!
Siobhan puts twists and turns in these stories which keeps you glued to your kindle because you have to know what’s going to happen next!!
If you loved the first Rydeville Elite books – Charlie is an absolutely MUST read!
I kindly received an arc from the author and voluntarily left a review
Prequel to Boy on the Bridge by Sam Mariano-
OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!
So Sam always writes amazing Bully. Let me say that I LOVE CARTER and that will never stop but y’all Hunter hasn’t even got his full book yet and he is already pushing all the limits. I hope y’all are as obsessed with this book as I am.
Make You Beg by Shantel Tessier-
This book, hopefully it makes it as a full book because honestly I need more. Like right now. This book actually may replace I Dare You as my favorite. You are absolutely NOT ready for this book.
Charlie by Siobhan Davis-
Siobhan killed it as always. Love Charlie and Demi.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Love your tormentor isn’t easy, especially when they collect broken hearts and parade them around like trophies. They’re the bad boys, the alpha buttholes, and the thorn in our sides. They push us past our limits, turn us on, and break us. They’re our bullies. They’re the class of 2020.Eight bestselling author have teamed up to bring you eight unique stories about the guys we love to hate.
The first reason that you should read this book is that all the proceeds go to Ditch The Label the largest anit-bullying organizations in the world, and all proceeds will go toward helping to support victims of bullying. The second would be that if you love bully romances then you are going to love this gem of an anthology. Some of the stories will be prequels for books to come and I am telling you now you will have a list of books to read and look forward to. These stories are really really good and I loved reading this anthology. If you love bully romances then this is one you’re not going to want to miss.
Charlie by Siobhan Davis:
What a fantastic way for a charity antho to start.
Charlie hasn’t exactly been shown in the best light in previous Rydeville books and so I was seriously doubting my opinion of him would change. You’ll have to read to find out if he deserves redemption.
Was great seeing the gang all together again, have missed the troublemakers.
Yet again the author has beautifully weaved more bombshells within the pages. Definitely a must read.
Riot House by Callie Hart:
Second piece into antho and just as epic. Callie has given readers a taste of what’s to come and like usual with all her books I can’t wait.
The characters and plot will draw you in page by page leaving you begging for more. I’ll definitely be watching for news.
For once we are finding ourselves with completely new characters/ world but never fear, these characters will refuse to let you look away.
A prequel to The Boy on the Bridge by Sam Mariano:
This is a new to me author who I have been hearing rave reviews about, now I can definitely see why and will be hunting down her other books as soon as I have time.
This prequel shows the start of a budding friendship that held so much promise until things happen that make everything change. Can’t wait to read the rest of the story, I’m definitely hooked.
Make Me Beg by Shantel Tessier:
This is one of the first bully authors I read and she will always be a firm favourite of mine. This new series starter proves why.
The characters and plot will pull you in and keep you turning the pages trying to guess what’s going on.
Can’t wait for more.
ully Me: Class of 2020 is an excellent collection of bully romances and I love that it is all for a good cause. Whether you are craving a dark and twisted high school romance or a reverse harem bully story or a high school M/M enemies-to-lovers romance, there is an entertaining story for everyone. This anthology features several of my favorite one-click authors and I was delightfully thrilled to discover some new ones as well.
Review for MAKE ME BEG by Shantel Tessier
This author always slays me with her dark and twisted high school romances and MAKE ME BEG is no different. I was immediately pulled in right from the first page and yes, I am begging this author for more. Henley is a girl who has lost it all. She has witnessed something horrific and now she is being punished. One cannot help but admire a heroine who stands up for what is right even knowing that her life will be negatively affected in the aftermath. Revenge is on the books for those who perceive themselves to be wronged and I already got tingles as I want to unravel this mystery of what exactly did Henley see and what actually happened? As with all of Shantel Tessier’s books, the author constructs a male character that is the epitome of an anti-hero in that he is dark, alluring, and down right depraved. I cannot wait to see how this dark and gritty story will unfold and I hope that she doesn’t make us readers wait long for the full length novel!
Review for CHARLIE by Siobhan Davis:
CHARLIE is an engaging enemies-to-lovers, NA office romance and is an interconnected standalone in this author’s Rydeville Elite series. Siobhan Davis does an excellent job in providing a glimpse into the Rydeville world without revealing too much in case you haven’t read the previous books.
Charlie was a character that I felt lukewarm about in the earlier novels, but I just knew this author would have him redeem himself. Full of regret and battling demons, this tortured bad boy completely won me over. Demi is a likable heroine with a good head on her shoulders. She is selfless, stubborn, and refuses to bow down to Charlie’s antics. I love a girl that has a backbone! The two have palpable chemistry and there is already a bit of suspense brewing. The storyline is solid and there is great plot progression and I am looking forward to seeing where this author leads us next.
Review for A Prequel to THE BOY ON THE BRIDGE by Sam Mariano:
Full on disclosure here – I almost didn’t read this story as Untouchable was not a favorite of mine, but I decided to give it a shot and I happy that I gave A Prequel to THE BOY ON THE BRIDGE a chance. This story is well written and drew me in right from the get go. Told from Riley’s POV, I found her character to be likable and relatable. Hunter is one of those perfectly flawed characters that pulled at my heartstrings. From different worlds, their friendship is an unlikely one. I enjoyed how the author took the time to chronicle their blossoming friendship all while leading up to the moment when it all completely falls apart. Riley ends up in an impossible situation and there is a sense of betrayal involving a secret that should not have been kept. The groundwork is laid for what is sure to be a wild and heart stopping read.
Review for LIKE YOU CARE by Kaydence Snow:
LIKE YOU CARE is my first read by this author and let’s just say I am now all up in her social media business. The prologue left me gasping and what followed next was story left me fully invested in its characters. Mena is a smart, hardworking, and talented girl who isn’t like all of the popular girls at school. As such, all she desires is to fly under the radar to escape their extreme torment. Turner is the new kid at the school and he is immediately accepted into the popular kids’ fold. What Turner doesn’t realize is that the neighbor he bonded with is the bullied girl at school as he has never seen her face. What happens when he discovers just who Mena is? Will he partake in the taunting? Will he just stand by and watch it? Or will he do something about it? Moments of this story will pull at your heartstrings, but there is also a sense of hope and I love the connection that Mena and Turner seem to have. I am excited to see how this will all play out.
If you love bully romances this is the perfect anthology! Some of the stories are prequels but they’re so good, it has left me anxious waiting for future ones. Each story features the bullies we love to hate and they’re sweet, sexy, dark, and irresistible. I found myself with my mouth gaping open at times and that just got me more excited.

**A Prequel to The Boy on the Bridge by Sam Mariano
***Make You Beg by Shantel Tessier
*OHHH CHARLIE!!!!
When reading previous books, I was pissed at Charlie!! I did not like Charlie at all. And then his book came out.
Got to read his side, his feelings and found out who he actually was, and I love him! Charlie and Demi were meant to be together. Charlie has his ups and down but ultimately finds his way. The epilogues make it that much better!! Can’t wait for Jackson’s story. Bring it on!!!
** Sams prequel just ripped my heart out!!!! I absolutely can not wait to find out what will happen between Hunter and Riley. Hunter has put Riley in a situation that leaves her between a rock and a hard place. After being his confident and “safe place” he turns into an absolute UUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!! Give me The Boy on the Bridge like NOW!!!!!!
*** Ooooh snap!!!!! Shantel has a way of sucking you in, latching on and making you beg for more!! Henley has seen something and knows the truth, even when the town is against her. I love her fighting spirit and reminds me of Austin in another series of Shantel’s …and the Shantel drops a bomb!!!!! Oh man, oh man!!!! I can not stand the way you have left me wanting!!
This anthology is going to be something else!!!!!! I need all the stories!!!!!
The original bullet by Coralee June :-
On the outside they are the picture perfect family. Money, influence, power and a perfect daughter.
But inside where no one can see is a different story.
With his father in jail, he finds himself placed with a foster family. The Jamesons.
The girls fall at his feet at his new school, and the guys want to be him, but the girl next door.. she’s different.
Can they find a common ground.
Oohhhh the start of Gavriel and how the bullets came about.
I looooved the bullets five star trilogy from start to finish so clearly I was going to do what I did and swoon some more over the dark and dangerous leader.
Sunshine breaks my heart, she’s such a puppet, which is a shame as she has fantastic snappy comebacks on the tip of her tounge and can be quite sassy given the chance.
A new start, and chains that need loosening brings two brave teenagers together as they enter into your heart and mind.
A fantastic brief introduction, prequel if you like to the series that if you haven’t read you seriously need to!!
If the rest of this bully anthology is as good as this, then its definitely worthy of five stars.
Looking at the list of authors that have combined their talents to this project I can guarantee that if you love the bully trope you ARE going to find something you love.
A fantastic idea, that is going to keep you entertained for many an hour!
Charlie by Siobhan Davis
Yes! OMG! Yes! Nothing and I mean nothing excites me like a good “redemption story.” I’m talking to take the absolute most (or one of the most) unredeemable characters from one of your favorite books, or trilogies in this case, and redeem him. Transformation done. Siobhan Davis turned him around, upside down, inside out and showed us that “hold the phone ladies and gentlemen” he in fact has a heart and it can turn ooey gooey after all!
Charlie, oh Charlie! I had so many questions about you. So many theories after Sweet Retribution running amok in this brain of mine. I love that many of my questions were answered. I love even more that I now have more questions and theories about other characters. BTW…We will have their answers coming our way.
Charlie is most definitely one of those characters that your heart probably didn’t see coming. The Charlie you meet on page one, is not the Charlie that you will be left with at the end of the book. The growth that this character goes through is tremendous. My guess is he needed this amazing woman to bring him to his knees.
I think in his quest to try to break her, he broke himself, in the best way, only to build himself back stronger and better than ever. What I love about Siobhan Davis is she can take thes characters that you think are just deplorable and make you fall head over heels, unequivocally In love. Yes, I LOVE CHARLIE BARRON!
Demi is a fantastic character. Now my heart was devastated many times over for this girl. But I’m pretty obsessed with her. She was strong and brave and beautiful. With everything she had gone through and was going through, her strength was inspiring. With Charlie she gave as good as she got. He was irresistible, yes, rude, absolutely, but she was not a doormat. I loved that about her character. Their banter was fiery and explosive. There were most definitely times where you thought they could go straight from fighting to… oh you know!
Charlie was another phenomenal addition to the Rydeville Elite Series. I cannot wait for more. Siobhan never fails to captivate me from the first page. She had me hanging on every word, from start to finish. I’ve learned not to try to predict what will happen next in her books, because she’s the queen of giving you something unexpected. I love that! She plants little seeds, so you can get your theories a spinnin’! Well, I for one was born ready for this series and I’m SO Ready for more! My seeds are ready to start sprouting Siobhan, so bring on Jackson!
Make Me Beg by Shantel Tessier
Holy heck! I can’t even! This little novella is all kinda frustratingly addictive and tantalizing hot and devious! I can’t even imagine all that’s coming our way in the continuation of Make Me Beg. Hell, Shantel is already Making me Beg…Beg for more! Cause I need it like, yesterday.
Henley is the prime example of what happens when you try to do the right thing, but everything goes wrong.
Ryan Scout, Grayson Law, Van Rellik and Dax Monroe. She was once one of their crew. Ran with these boys, had deep connections and intimacy with them. Then something tragic changed all of it. One night changed everything.
They felt she committed the ultimate betrayal towards one, so all of them decided to punish her for it. They have a “what you do to one of us, you do to all of us” attitude. I want to hate these guys I really do, but there is something about certain ones. I tried y’all! GAH! Shantel does bad boys that you love to hate, like no one else.
Henley is an amazingly strong girl, and I really love how she stands up for herself and for her actions. She stands behind the decision she made. My heart felt so many different emotions for this girl. Well it went through the gamut with her. I can’t wait to see what happens further. There is this overwhelmingly undeniable chemistry between Henley and the guys. It’s palpable and frustrating and hot. I can’t even explain the level of angst Shantel was able to pack in this. You won’t get short and sweet here. It was short and angsty, and tempestuous. I was gasping with frustration, my mind boggling with theories. I can’t wait for more!
The Boy on the Bridge by Sam Marino
My heart y’all, my heart. I AM NOT OKAY! This prequel was just enough to rope me in and leave me hanging right over the edge. I hope like hell we won’t have to wait too terribly long for the rest of Hunter and Riley’s story. Sam has me hooked now. Locked in y’all! I’m invested.
Hunter Maxwell is the gorgeous, popular, rich, jock. Hunter Maxwell has the perfect life, or so it seems. I’m not gonna give anything away, but I fell for this kid. He’s just the bad, broken boy we all want, and we want to want us. He hides so much underneath his beautiful smile and fun, outgoing personality. From the moment he meets Riley he’s drawn to her. For the first time, he’s able to share the burdens that plague him and can trust her to keep his secrets, or can he? Will Riley crack under the pressure of Hunter’s secrets when protecting his secret becomes more about protecting him.
Riley is the toughest little cookie. She’s kinda shy and introverted and she’s the opposite of Hunter and his friends. I love how comfortable she is with who she is. She stands up for herself against the “mean girl” of Hunter’s popular group of friends. In the end she had to make a really tough decision for someone her age and it cost her BIG. I cried huge tears for this sweet girl y’all. For multiple reasons. I’m most definitely a Riley Fan.
I’m going to be counting the days until we get the rest of their story. I’m afraid of the punishment coming my girls way, not gonna lie, but I bet if anyone can take it it will be Riley. This is going to be brutally spectacular!
*I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book!
Review for Sam Mariano’s A Prequel The Boy on the Bridge
5 Stars to the ‘Cruel’ Sam Mariano. Why ‘Cruel’ you ask?! Because as usual she delivers this amazing story that makes us love Hunter and Riley, gets us right there at the meat of the story, has us anxious and trapped and then BAM, we have to wait. Floating around in our mind going crazy with all the questions and what if’s!
I Need More Hunter and Riley!
Hunter is the popular cool jock of the school with a crappy mom and step-dad. My heart went out to him. Riley is the innocent girl experiencing first love who would be considered a goody goody and have a mom that is like a best friend. They like each other until she breaks his trust and then it all goes bad, he’s good at bullying and now she is on his list.
I really need the rest of the story Sam Mariano, like ASAP. I’m not beyond bowing and begging you because this story has me strumming my fingers and needing closure.
Charlie by Siobhan Davis
I loved Charlie and Demi. We also get all of other characters. I love that we get insight on them. This book starts with Charlie devastated by his father’s death. Demi’s father has some health issues so she is back home to take care of him. Of course, Charlie starts bullying her and being an all around douche. But the more he knows about her the more he wants her. I loved this book especially the second epilogue…
Make you beg By Shantel Tessier
Oh my goodness, this story was AMAZING. Only 8 should chapters, hopefully Shantel won’t keep us waiting too long for the continuation because this left so many questions! 5 stars isn’t enough. The title was perfect because you will be begging for more of the story! Definitely a must read
This review is for Shantel Tessier’s novella ‘Make You Beg’ which forms part of the ‘Bully Me: Class of 2020’ anthology to support one of the largest anti-bullying organisations in the world and all donations going to those affected, with some awesome authors you don’t want to miss this!
This is a story about Henley, a girl involved with a group of 4 footballers, but primarily in love with the leader Scout.
Seeing one a horrific scene involving one of the guys, she reports it to the police, resulting in a very public court case, fast forward 5 months after the verdict and Henley is back in town and the guys aren’t letting her get away for calling out one of their own.
A fantastic read and I seriously can NOT wait for more of this!
Shantel, I never doubt that you score with every one of your books – I LOVE IT!!!
This review is for Siobhan Davis’ ‘Charlie’ which forms part of the ‘Bully Me: Class of 2020’ anthology to support one of the largest anti-bullying organisations in the world and all donations going to those affected, with some awesome authors you don’t want to miss this!
I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to read an ARC of this book and OMG, Siobhan Davis does it again – I absolutely floved this book!
Charlie was one of the ‘Elite’ from the Rydeville Elite series and this is his story – this book picks up from the night his father was murdered.
I’m not afraid to say that Charlie was a character that I HATED and I don’t use that term loosely, in my opinion he was despicable and unredeemable, so I was intrigued how Siobhan was going to play this story and boy was I NOT disappointed!
Charlie meets Demi in a bad situation, but their chemistry is off the charts and Demi… she is one h€ll of a strong woman that gives back as hard as it’s thrown at her.
It wouldn’t be a true Siobhan Davis book without a few unexpected twists here and there and definitely keeps you on your toes can’t wait for what comes next in this series!
