I think it’s important to mention that this anthology means a lot to me, it’s for such an important cause that really hits close to home. Bully Me is donating all the proceeds made to Ditch the Label to help victims of bullying.
I really loved this antho! It has some of my most beloved authors in it AND it introduced me to some new favorites!
My favorite new to me author/story would definitely have to be Charlie by Siobhan Davis. I cried….like a baby. Now I need more and am going to have to read her Rydeville Elite series! As if my TBR wasn’t already out of control haha!
Thank you to all of the AMAZING authors for doing this anthology. You truly will never know what an impact you and your books have had on myself and others, and this anthology is just making your impact even more widespread.
Bully Me: Class of 2020 is an anthology containing varying themes including dark and twisted high school romance, reverse harem bully story, a high school M/M enemies-to-lovers romance, office romance among others.
Charlie by Shiobhan Davis was a good read and will hold your interest until the end. This enemies to lovers office romance gives us a glimpse into the authors Rydeville series without going into too much detail. The attraction between Charlie and Demi was there from the start and their chemistry was intense. These two characters were complex and I loved that inspite of Charlie’s bullying, Demi did not bow down to his actions. The story was well written and will keep you wondering what happens next. I would recommend it to lovers of office romance.
Riot House by Callie Hart had me hooked from the start and I was fully invested in this story. It was dark and had me at the edge of my seat and I can’t wait to see where Elodie and Wren’s relationship goes.
I am enjoying this anthology and would recommend it to all lovers of bully romance.
This book is amazing especially loved Charlie and a couple other stories. Charlie was an amazing story Siobhan has a way of writing that grabs your emotions like no other. From the very beginning this story had my attention and dying to find out what happens next. From the Rydeville Elite Series I wasn’t sure about Charlie being redeemable but Siobhan knows how to write an amazing story with damaged characters and happy endings. This was a definite page-turner. From the minute Demi met Charlie I knew we would be in for a crazy ride the chemistry between these two characters was crazy hot. And I just love that Demi was not the sit down and take it kind of girl she gave as good as she took. I also love the fact that we get to see Charlie’s point of view and getting into his head it really makes liking his character easier. We get to see some of the old characters from the first three books which is great because I loved them. This book definitely had me and my feelings all over the place and I can’t wait to see what else comes from Siobhan and this group of characters. As for the rest of this book these authors did an amazing job also all of the stories where so good and I love the fact that some of the stories are not finished yet because I will truly love reading more from the authors. This was an amazing group of author’s together they definitely knocked this book out of the park. I’m already a huge fan a lot of them they know how to write some kick butt stories. Don’t miss out on this book because it won’t be on sale for long and it will be truely a shame to not own it.
This is a fantastic collection of bully romance reads that are steamy hot, alpha and delicious. Seriously, you can’t go wrong with these, all these authors are fantastic, and if you haven’t read any of them before, well here’s your chance to give them a go whilst supporting a fantastic charity at the same time.
Some of these are prequels to stories that are yet to come, which I am very excited for, as they are all brilliant reads in my opinion.
If you’re into bully romance then this is a must for you, a superb collection, all different, that give you a taster of what the author’s have to offer. Fab!

Review for Make You Beg from the Bully Me: Class of 2020
Shantel Tessier never disappoints that’s for sure!
Henley has become an outcast in her her town. She witnesses her friend committing a horrible crime… or did she? This story starts off in the courtroom. Let’s just say things didn’t turn out the way Henley expected!! And now her former friends which consist of four very rich and popular guys who are out to make her pay. How much can Henley take and how far will these guys go to make her hurt? I can’t wait to get the rest of this amazing story!! It’s going to be epic like all her other books. Oh and I almost forgot to mention… we get a little bit of our GWS gang in this too.
I love a good bully romance book and I loved that in this book I got to read 8 different short novels. They were all amazing stores and I couldn’t put this book down. I can not wait to read more from these amazing authors! If you enjoy bully romance books you do not want to miss this one!
I have received a free copy of this book for an honest review!
5 stars for Bully Me: Class of 2020. This is an anthology which includes stories from Shantel Tessier, Siobhan Davis, Callie Hart, K. Webster, Coralee June, CM Stunich, Kaydence Snow and Sam Mariano. I want to start by saying what an amazing thing this book is for. All the proceeds from this book will go to one of the worlds largest anti-bullying non-profits called Ditch the label. This to me is amazing. Ok now on to the book. This book is filled with 8 quick bully romances that have me hooked.Most are prequels for stories that are to come and let me just say I am on pins and needles waiting. I was up till 4 am reading all the stories. I could not put my kindle down. I am really hoping I don’t have to wait to long for the rest of these stories to come out. I will review each story on the author pages. If I would get this book and dive in as soon as possible.
***4 Stars***
I picked this anthology up because of one particular author, but I have found, much to my TBR list and bank account’s dismay, a few other authors I’ll be keeping an eye out for in the future, especially since their offerings in this baby were not the entire story of the characters they got me hooked on.
While I enjoyed all, the following three are the ones that left me need more the most, though all will definitely be on my radar.
Charlie by Siobhan Davis
I gotta admit that I really want to know what the add-ons to the story the author mentions at the end will be because there were so many moments, IMHO, that needed MORE but were only mentioned by a character that they had happened. So, I’ll be keeping an eye out for this one when it’s released in its full form
Riot House by Callie Hart
I was going along with this one, digging what the author was laying out and then that last bit before everything cuts off had me sitting up and paying a little more attention because it definitely wasn’t what I was expecting. So curiosity has won out and I really want to know what will come next.
Hood River Rat by K Webster
NO NO NO NOOOOOO!
I CANNOT…
Wait…
Actually, I CAN believe that she would leave things there…
But still…WHY!?!?
I NEED to know what happens next….and now I have to actually #practicepatience and wait for the rest of Roan and Hollis’ story. So not fair *pouts*
But at least the silver lining is that more is coming, it’s a tinsy winsy lining, but I can deal.
I think. I hope…

I read Charlie by Siobhan Davis.
What an amazing book of redemption! I went from wanting to skin Charlie in the Rydeville Elite series to swooning in Charlie! Siobhan is the best at making you feel her characters deep in your soul! And Demi was such a sweet character with quite the twist! What a page turner, I couldn’t put it down!
Charlie:
Gawd. This book! I had a love/hate(leaning more towards hate) relationship with Charlie in the other Rydeville books, but I was hoping for a good redemption story. And man, oh man, did we ever get one! We get some new perspectives on things that we didn’t before and it shines a new light on Charlie. And Demi, she’s a saint. LOL! Dealing with all life has handed her on top of dealing with Charlie, she’s a better woman than me. But she sees underneath Charlie’s gruff exterior and worms her way underneath his armor, and we get to see the real Charlie. This is angsty, and raw, and so real. And talk about plot twists! Wow!!! So good!!!
The Boy on the Bridge – Prequel:
OMG!!! I need the rest of this book. Like, now!!! OMG!!! Hunter and Riley strike up an unlikely friendship that verges on more, until it doesn’t. This is just enough to whet your appetite while leaving you wanting at the same time. I can tell this book will be another fantastic read from Sam Mariano and I can’t wait!
Make You Beg:
Duuuuuuuuuuuude!!! I can’t even. Shantel Tessier isn’t holding anything back with this one. Henley and this group of boys is… *dies* I NEED MORE!!! And we get a nice little surprise thrown in there that I hope means something! *fingers crossed* If you like uber-gritty, no-holds-barred books, you’ll definitely like this one.
Bully Me: Class of 2020
5 STARS
Although I read only Shantel Tessier’s book, Make You Beg, which I LOVED IT so much, I know the rest of tbe authors are very good, because, let’s face it, they are the crem a’ la crem.
Make me beg by Shantel Tessier was AMAZING and left me hanging for more. She is an incredible talented author and she is getting better and better. Her stories are addictive and her characters are to die for, especially the male characters.
I can’t wait to read the full story.

**Charlie by Siobhan Davis**
Siobhan Davis continues to knock them put pf the park and Charlie is no exception. Charlie answer a big question I had during the Rydeville series where he was concerned and not only that but his story was so eloquently written that it didn’t need a whole buch of drama to make it great and amazing. I loved seeing Abby and Kaiden and all the other characters back again. My favorite part was when Charlie punched someone but I’m not going to say who put I definitely laughed out loud. We get to see a whole different side to Charlie and I’m completely in love with it. I can’t wait for the continuation of the side series and to see what happens. I loved the Rydeville Series and Charlie is no different. If you enjoyed Abby and Kaiden’s story you are going to love Charlie. There are some great wow factors and surprises in store.
Superb start for what will be another epic tale of push and pull by Sam Mariano!
She does those dark boys and those take no nonsense girls like no one else!
Review for THE BOY ON THE BRIDGE by Sam Mariano
My heart is already in the palm of his hand. His fingers positioned around it so perfectly the faintest squeeze is unbearable. I can only imagine the damage he could do if he wanted to break it.
Well that was not how I wanted to be left! Cliffhangers kill me! In this anthology, we only get a tiny taste of what is to come from this story, but what I read, I am BLOWN AWAY by and extremely intrigued by. Sam was building the foundation of Hunter and Riley’s relationship and history in this prologue. She was setting the stage of what’s to come and boy, it’s gonna be painful. I. Can. Just. Feel. It! One thing that Sam excels at writing, is bully romance, and I know that Hunter and Riley’s story is just gearing up to being a new top bully story for me. I’m hooked after just 11 chapters and I’m craving more! Now, the wait until the rest of their story comes out.
5 stars
Holy moly, I absolutely loved this anthology! Not only do the proceeds go to a great cause, but the stories are just enough to tease your senses and leave you wanting more. I thoroughly enjoyed each and every story in this book. Some were new to me authors and I will be looking up their other books, while others were faves that I can’t get enough of their writing.
Bully Me Anthology is filled with Bully Romance short stories. If you love bully romances then this is the anthology for you!
Make You Beg by Shantel Tessier
Upon getting this anthology I automatically flipped to Shantel’s story.
Henley turned on Dax, one of her best friends- and turned him in for killing a girl from their school. Although she was the one who found the girl, once 911 got there, the body was missing. And Dax walked free. And now her former best friends are seeking revenge.
I loved it. Loved Scout & his friends and Henley and I need more.
Charlie by Siobhan Davis
I have been waiting for Charlie’s story for months, and really enjoyed getting a look inside his head.
Demi drops out of college to get a job back home because her dad needs her. The only problem is, her new boss is Charlie who is determined to make her life a living hell. Sleeping with him on the night of his wedding might have something to do with his attitude.
Charlie can’t undo the things he’s done. And every day is a reminder of his failures. Especially her. It’s as if Demi was put on this Earth to torture him. Because Everytime he’s around her- she makes him feel things he doesn’t want to feel. So he lashes out and pushes her away.
Until Charlie realizes that Demi is everything he never knew that he needed, then the battle becomes one to win over her heart.
If you love bully romances then you definitely need to pick up this Anthology! Packed with so many great authors, and stories that give you exactly what you’re looking for. 5’s out of 5.
The Bully Me Anthology is an interesting but quick read filled with plenty of hate/love, angsty “romance” novellas and prequels from some of my favorite authors. While some people may not love prequels, I find that it is a great way to get a glimpse into the heart of the story and its characters.
There were some stories that I absolutely loved, such as the prequel to ‘The Boy on the Bridge’ by Sam Mariano. The relationship between Hunter and Riley starts bittersweet. Hunter is the popular boy in high school while Riley is the nerdy, book loving girl hidden in the shadows. Hunter barely even knows she exists until the day she finds him at her favorite getaway spot, the bridge. A strange friendship is struck between them that day. A friendship created by secrets. A friendship that can end as quickly as it begins and ruin Hunter and Riley’s lives in the process. This story will break your heart but it will also leave you wanting more. The cliffhanger is massive! I know that I can’t wait until the full book about Hunter and Riley is released.
The best part of this anthology, besides the interesting stories, is that the proceeds from the sale of this book will go to an anti-bullying organization, Ditch the Label. I love when an anthology is created to give back to the community.
This anthology is jam packed with bully romances from some of the best authors out there in the romance book industry. Some of them are prequels to books that are yet to come by these authors.
I am looking forward to reading some of the others from these authors. If you enjoy bully romances then this anthology is going to be for you.
The proceeds of this book go to one of the largest anti- bullying non profit companies called ditch the labels.
My review is focusing on the book called
Make you beg by shantel Tessier
Oh my goodness, what a story this was. The characters and the plot that you could see this book going was incredible and amazing. With this story of Shantel’s in this anthology is only 8 chapters.
I am seriously hoping we don’t have to wait too long for the continuation of this book because this book leaves you with so many questions that are unanswered.
I read Charlie by Siobhan Davis and Make you Beg by Shantel Tessier
***Siobhan gets me every single time with her books. The Rydeville Elite family has such a special place in my heart and I am so happy to be able to add Charlie to it as well.
Charlie was difficult for me to truly love in the Rydeville series mainly because of what he caused but boy did he come flying back into my good books after this read. Charlie and Demi are absolutely perfect counterparts for each other. Their journey had many ups and downs but their love for each other won in the end.
I loved getting to see little snippets of the other characters and see “how they were doing” and the epilogues made me teary with joy.
Siobhan’s books are unputdownable and complete page turners. I loved every second of this read and proudly give it 5 stars.
***Shantel is continuously knocking me off my chair with her books.
I was pulled in with just the first page and could not stop turning the pages to find out more. Henley and boys kept me on my toes and begging for more.
8 chapters went by so fast and I cannot wait for more!
This is gonna be a top read for sure.
From Sam Mariano’s intriguing storytelling to Siobhan Davis’s intense chemistry, to the dialogue in Shantel Tessier’s story, these authors delivered a hard to put down anthology. I think everyone will enjoy this one—new readers because it will leave you wanting more and old readers because the elements of these stories are why we keep reading these authors to begin with.
