I loved this book! The characters are fantastic and the storyline is dark, sexy, and definitely keeps your interest throughout the book! I would absolutely consider this a must read and I cannot wait for the next book in the series!
Wow this book was amazing! It’s one of those books where you love to hate and hate to love the characters. I don’t think there was ever a time in this book where I was 100% for a character. They each had their moments where I couldn’t believe some of the stuff they did towards each other or how they reacted to a situation, Amelie included, because we know she was just as diabolical as the brothers. Despite wanting to throat punch all of the characters while reading, I really enjoyed the book. There are still a lot of questions that I’m dying to find out the answers to and so much more that needs revealed about the brothers and Monty. The next book should be even better than this one based on how it ended. Stay strong, Amelie.
Just another tidbit..I’m glad that we got to see a bit of Baxter’s past in this book and see some of the naughty things he was involved in. Hopefully we see more of him in the next book. He seems like someone who will be good to have on your team as long as you don’t get on his bad side.
This story from start to finish had me so completely and utterly hooked. I loved every single freaking minute of it. Amelie is such an amazing character through it all. I really can not wait for the next book because I definitely need more of them all for sure!
love Amelie and her guys!
Wow! I am (almost) speechless after reading this book. I don’t usually get book hangovers but Crystal North does it to me every time and this book is no different. This book does not end with a HEA or even a HFN, nope North has once again earned her nickname of the Cliffhanger Queen! This book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I had to hang on and pray I made it to the end in one piece. In addition she gave us more Baxter, a character from her Vengeance series. I have no idea how I’m going to wait for book 2.
Amelia (FMC) gets in trouble at the beginning of this book and her life is on a downhill spiral from there on. Forced to leave her dad, her brother – Aadi and her friend – Smalls in Australia she ends up enrolled at Knox Academy a so called reform school. One where everyone there has done something to warrant being there. Also part of the rules of being there is that whatever theyve done is kept secret unless they choose to tell you. So secrets and lies are common place there. More complications come in the form of an abusive mother – Laura and her new boyfriend-Monty (who just happens to the headmaster there) and his four sons (Sawyer – Teacher, Kalen, and Twins Slate & Onyx) all of which have an agenda of their own and its not to play happy families. Loved Elsie (Amelia’s friend there) sweet and funny and then theres Baxter…………Holy hotness that guy certainly steams up my kindle. That dinner he had with the family and Amelia was just knockout!!! Damn i didnt even clock on that he was the same Baxter from the Vengeance series. Not until i read to the very end. How very clueless of me (Lol) but im glad it is because i liked him in that series. Yes this book is dark in places and some of the topics in it were hard to read. They might upset some folks but overall this book was brilliant. i couldnt put it down and that ending though?? Totally killed it!! So Good
I freaking Love this book, it is amazing from beginning to end. I cannot wait for the next book. It was truly amazing and worth the read!
Knox Academy is to be her new home. It’s a school for delinquents and undesirables who fell on the wrong side of the law. A reform school.
The headmaster is her mothers new partner. He has four perfect sons.
Let the introductions begin!
Oh my gosh!! my heart is racing like I’ve just run a marathon!
Wow wow wow!! Where do I start!
The boys *sighs dreamily* creative and tempestuous twins. A dazzling and seductive teacher, and last but by no means least the manic and magnificent hyper original.
They are seductive and enticing, cruel and conniving yet beautiful and perfect too.
Amelie is at the centre of everything. She’s the girl who has a plan. Its vengeful and ambitious but true to her heart, and she will end the incubator.
Personally I wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of any of them! yikes they are so scathing and harsh, but oh gosh I loved every second of it!
What an extremely exciting and thrilling read! The sauce is delightful and the punishments delectable I was in heaven!
I’ve not read Crystal North before but I can saw without a shadow of doubt I will be reading her again!!
Ameile is sent to a new academy by a mother who she despises. The men, Kalen, Sawyer, Onyx, and Slate are foster brothers to Ameiles mothers boyfriend. F*ck You is a rollercoaster story that has questions piling up by the end and you need to know more. This book does end with a bit of a cliffhanger…but oh so worth it The twins are my fave, but all is just as nice with #whycoose 😉 I’m also interested in seeing how her relationship evolves with her friend Elsie. And then there’s Baxter…he knows all, sees all, and I want him as part of her harem because I’m a greedy b***h like that. *sigh*
Wow, this book kept me hooked from the beginning. I stayed up to 2am reading and I’ve not done that in a while.
Amelie gets sent from Australia to the UK to spend 3 years at a school for delinquents.
Amelie has had a tough life living in the wrong area of town but she’s stronger for it, she has her weaknesses too.
My only confusion was how you keep an 18 year old in a school in a different country for 3 years without them just walking away.
Her new four step brothers hate her on sight and she tries to use them to get herself home, but it backfires, big time.
There is a lot of emotion, from hate to love to confusion to frustration and more.
There’s so much more to this story and towards the end you find out why. It’s really well written and will keep you reading to the end. The book ends on a cliffhanger but it could also be the end, I really hope it isn’t. It is a really good ending though.
That ending though..
F*ck You had me hooked from the get-go. Seriously could not put it down until I finished reading it, which meant staying up until the wee hours of the morning reading. Right now I’m raging over what went down and all the guys are on my shit list, even my dearest, sweet Kalen. Ugh, I knew there was some sketchy as hell shit going on. The twins gave me some serious whiplash and I still can’t believe she went there with Onyx after everything that had just happened. And Sawyer? Oh that man is too much of a yes man. The big reveal with the guys was a meh moment for me, but I have high hopes that brings more understanding in the next book. What really got me was that ending. So much AHHHH!!! My heart was racing from the time she set everything up until the last fuck you. I was like will she? Won’t she? Is she going to get stopped? Ahh!!! Then the big moment of realization of just who one certain person is? LOVED IT!! I’ll be on pins and needles waiting for the next book
This book was so good! The FMC was a sassy badass and I loved everything about her! Her 4 “step-brothers” were all delicious in the own unique way and you couldn’t help giving a piece of your heart to each one. I loved all the different twists and turns this story had that keeps you on your toes throughout the book! I can not wait to see what happens in this crazy world!!!
This book was freaking amazing I literally have no words. the way this book messed with my mind and the slap in the face at the end. its going to be pure torture waiting for the second book. Definitely five stars from me!!!
F*ck You is a different kind of read. It is angry, antsy, dark, and gritty. It has enough twists and turns to make your head spin. It has dramatic, full bodied characters that have enough secrets to keep you guessing. It is a Bully Romance, until it’s not, because it’s something more. If you like entertaining, intriguing reads, with enough angst to fill a truck, F*ck You is the perfect example of what you want. *It is RH and there is a cliffhanger. 5 Fascinating Stars!
Wow! This story is completely invigorating and inventive. Amelie is a strong and independent FMC who will have you loving her nature, her sass and her love that she has to give. The Knox academy is full of dangers and people who wear their secrets behind an array of masks. There’s intrigue, suspense and suspicion in this story. I adored how the story flowed and loved how we got to see each of the brothers together and independently. There’s a rawness that these two authors bring out that will have you not wanting to put this book down. Some of the scenes were hot, others scary but overall this story has the impression to leave you with the girly giggles and the swooning moans. And that ending had me in knots. I can’t wait for book two! It’s an amazing and entertaining story that you’ll be thinking about long after you finish.
And if you’re familiar with Crystals other works, you’ll recognise a character. What a beautiful way to include different aspects and stories together.
Loved it!
I this was an AWESOME book. I not so happy on the end but I’m going on to read about Baxter. Thank you Crystal
This book is just wow! Definitely a must read!
Amelie is such a strong character that doesn’t depend on anyone. You go from loving Sawyer, Onyx, Slate, and Kalen to hating them at the turn of the page. There are so many secrets to uncover at the academy and I can’t wait for the next book. You will be at the edge of your seat laughing, crying, and everything in between.
I LOVED LOVED LOVED this book. I could not put it down. One click this book now! You will not regret it.
What a page turner this was! I am very happy with the ending of this book too. But, let’s start at the beginning.
The premise and the plot: Amelie is sent to a special post secondary school after getting into a bit of trouble. Her crime is insubstantial compared to others there, but she can’t leave for three years. She comes from a background where she has to be street smart. She’s also a survivor of a sexual assault. Her abusive mother is living with the Dean of the school. He has four sons. She feels a connection with each.
Amelie struggles fitting into the new school and trying to navigate life there. This is a contemporary RH, but there are lots of things happening that result in her getting into more trouble. She refuses to give in or give up.
The main characters:
– Amelie – FMC, survivor of sexual assault, strong personality
– Sawyer – teacher at her school, oldest brother
– Kalen – youngest brother, attention seeking and needs validation
– Onyx – twin of Slate, middle brother, MMA
– Slate – twin of Onyx, middle brother, singer/musician
(Dean Monty’s only child by blood is Kalen. The others are adopted.)
Love the delinquent angle and secrets behind it. I hope there is a second book, but even if there isn’t, I am happy with the ending. It’s not a HEA, but it’s not a cliffhanger either. It’s just enough closure.
On another note, I really appreciate when authors are able to end a book on a note that is neither here nor there, such as this. To me, it shows they trust the readers to keep coming back without short circuiting our brains and keeping up on an emotional cliff for months or years or however long.
Anyway, I definitely recommend this to fan of RH who like an edge of suspense and a FMC who can hold her own. Looking forward to reading the next book!
I got an ARC for this book and man I read it within 24 hours!!!! I was hooked from the beginning with Amelia and the Knoxs brothers!!! Sawyer and Kalen were my favorite. Sawyer being the oldest but such a sweetheart and Kalen being the youngest but such a fun loving character. Slate one half of the twins, didn’t expect to warm to Amelia so quick as he did and his twin Oxyn, I was surprised how fast he warmed up to her. But in comes Baxter helping Amelia with the family knowing they are keeping secrets from her and trying to figure it all out. Me finding out that the woman abused her, Laura, was not her biological mother!!!!! And she still doesn’t know about it or the secret society that the Knoxs brothers father wants her recruited for. And the school being a place to formed the students into what they want!!!! I’m glad Baxter helped her get away and back to her real family and she didn’t stay when the brothers tried to get her to stay. PS. The brothers are not actually blood! I can’t wait for the next book!!!
