“Your body is a killer,” he murmurs. “Your face is a killer. Your fierce spirit is the worst of all. You were made to bring men to their knees.”They were my bullies once.Three boys I hated more than anything.They made my life hell for a year–until I escaped their cruelty when my dad’s job moved us away.I’ve never forgotten them though. Never forgotten what they did. And I know they haven’t … forgotten what they did. And I know they haven’t forgotten me.
But when I’m offered a full-ride scholarship to the prestigious Clearwater University, I refuse to let old fears stop me from accepting.
Because I’m not the girl I used to be.
I’m stronger. Tougher.
Angrier.
And if West, Reese, and Trent think they can screw with me again… well.
We’ll just see who breaks first.
This box set contains the complete Clearwater University series, a new adult reverse harem enemies-to-lovers/bully romance. It contains cursing and lots of steam.more
Enticing drama, hot steamy sex, intense revenge. At one point all the boys have their “Come to Jesus” moment when they realize their wrongdoing and faults. The individual hate sex was intense, but the RH sex, whoah… it’s . Clearwater University series does not disappoint. Loved all books in the series were in one place! I may have to read it again, just to reabsorb all the hotness going on.
Hot, steamy, personal vendettas. So much happens in this book. You won’t be bored or disappointed. Loved all books in the series were in one place!
Eva Ashwood has combined the entire Clearwater trilogy into this boxset- so all you cliffhanger haters can relax, you get the entire series, right here. Eva creates such engaging new adult/bully theme stories, and here we also have a reverse harem relationship.
This is the story of Emma and her bullies, Trest, West, and Reese, the “Icons” and her former friends. There is dynamic emotional and romantic tension, and the bullying is definitely harsh at first, though certainly not the darkest/worst I’ve read. Twists abound, the relationship dynamics change as we get to know our characters, and major drama, misunderstandings, and angst permeates the entire series- the kind you love in new adult stories. The first and 2nd books end with some pretty climatic moments, although I can’t call them cliffhangers anymore because this is one set now! Our heroine Emma can be frustrating at times, to be honest, but she’s also trying to figure out who she is and survive the challenges of her life and bullying. And you want to hit the guys for much of the first book. The bullying is not short lived here- even when romantic feelings come into play, we have that push-pull love-hate dynamic woven throughout- all that yummy angst. But, that is why I love bully romances- the angsty, and then the sweet, sweet redemption when the bullies’ truths come out and they try to make amends. And, as the book goes on, we start to understand the guys more and more, which I needed more of early on in trying to understand their true motivations. And, Emma is no push-over.
There is a lot of drama, and the steam definitely gets stronger as the books progress (mostly in the 3rd)- and rest assured, we get an HEA. A wild, fun, angsty ride!
I was so excited to jump into this college aged Bully boxset and it did not disappoint! So much happens throughout the entire series that I was left on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading. It was good to see a FMC who doesn’t let the guys bring her down and keeps fighting. The push and pull between Emma and her guys was addicting. I adored seeing them get their HEA after dealing with so much drama outside and inside the relationships. Fantastic series! I look forward to reading more stories by Eva Ashwood.
