Erin rocked it again with Grape Vine Crew and in a whole new genre too! Branching out into bully romance, Erin manages to suck you into while weaving a story that will both break your heart and make you cheer. Acen is our hero, but as with all bully romances, I hated him at first. Layla is our heroine. She’s just moved into the school and has had a horrible life up to this point. At first Acen and his crew set up to make life hell for Layla. She isn’t as affected as you would think she would be due to her past. There are so many surprises in this story that you will never see coming that I reread it a few times to make sure I caught everything. I love that the story keeps you on your toes.
Such an amazing story! This is a different genre from Erin Trejo, but she proves that she can write anything. Strong characters and a great storyline makes it one of those books that you can’t put down! Erin Trejo is an amazing author! Her books grab your heart, touching your soul! If you have not read her, please do so, you will not be sorry! Highly recommend!

Ok. I had a hard time reading this book. The characters “roared” A LOT. Like every other sentence out of their mouths was “roared”…..even when it wasn’t needed. There are so many !s, it makes it seem like everything is being screamed. I feel like there were gaps in the conversations. Like they didn’t flow well. One minute the character is mad and the next they’re fine. It just doesn’t make sense to me. The whole thing is just juvenile.
That being said, I do think the plot was good. I see were the author wanted to go.
This is MY opinion. I really do hope who ever reads my review won’t let it affect their decision & will still give this book a chance. Just because it’s not my cup of tea, doesn’t mean it won’t be someone else’s. Which is obvious by all the 5 star reviews.
Could not put it down once i started reading!!!! Love this book. Hopefully there are more!!! I love all her books.. She has yet to disappoint me 🙂 Thanks You Erin. I look forward to the next book!!
Oh man, Erin Trejo has out done herself yet again with this one. This is one of those stories you won’t be able to put down until the very end.
Some of us are dealt a crappie hand in life then others. One where we feel like we can never move past or that constantly seems rough and that’s exactly how Layla feels. She feels like everything she does goes wrong, even the one thing she thought she got right.
Omg, this is a fantastic read, it’s a bully romance but it’s also a lot more, there are twists and turns you don’t see coming, people who are not what they seem, betrayals by those who should be loyal, it’s dark but there is some light. I could not put this down, I was hooked by the second chapter, I loved everything about it.
I received a copy and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion
Wow, I can’t believe that I have already finished this book. I was so fantastic that I couldn’t put it dow. The only time that I wasn’t reading was the three hours that I was driving. This book, Grape Vine Crew was great. It’s about a crew of guys that run the school and it seems the town as well. The crew is made up of Acen, Brody, Cato, and Fox. Acen’s sister is Clarissa and she has friended the new girl in school, Layla (Lala as per the GV Crew). Acen tries to rattle Layla right off the bat, but she stands up to him. The Crew tries to figure Lala out but there isn’t enough information forthcoming and Layla wants it to stay that way. Acen and Lala somehow start to become a little closer but then things start to spin out of control and it’s questionable if things can stay the same or if Layla will just drop out of sight. This book was so good and I really believe if you would pick up a copy and read it for yourself you will be thanking me for recommending it to you.
From the first page to the last page you will be drawn into the lives of the Grape Vine Crew and you won’t want to put the book down. This story will have your emotions on a roller coaster ride. Excellent read.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Woah – What an outstanding book. This is a new genre for Ms. Trejo and believe me when I say she nailed it. It hooked me and I didn’t let go until the very end. The storyline revolves around the Grape Vine Crew and the 4 guys that basically run the streets. Nothing happens that they don’t know about or sanction. When a new girl, Layla, comes to town she is instantly scrutized. Is she in or is she out?
Layla is one tough cookie. Her past has made her what she. She doesn’t take anything off anyone and she sure isn’t going to take it off 4 guys that seem to think they are going to run her life. Ace is the leader of the crew and what he says goes, no matter what. That causes Layla and Ace to butt heads right off the bat. He doesn’t like Layla but he’s drawn to her. Ace senses she’s hiding something and he’s out to find out what it is. As secrets are revealed trouble soon follows. Troubles that test everyone the GV crew knows that trust.
Kudos Ms. Trejo for a phenomenal start to the series. I can’t say enough about how intense, gut wrenching and thrilling this book is or how much I look forward to the 2nd book in the series. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars for a book I Highly Recommend grabbing up asap. You won’t regret it.
A Bully romance with a twist.
This book was so different to what I’ve been used to reading by this author….AND I LOVED IT!
It was a fast paced with lots of action. Layla sure gives these bad boys a run for their money hehe. That’s all I’m saying.
I couldn’t put this book down. Layla is a tough-as-nails new girl. Acen and the rest of his crew decide who’s with the in crowd. Layla’s life is very screwed up and she is keeping secrets, especially from Acen. He has feelings for Layla, but won’t admit them, even to himself.
The story has a lot of anger, violence and angst, but pulls you in and spellbinds you. Another great read by Erin Trejo.
Fantastic book! Story line was great. Plenty of angst through out the book. The only problem was not enough detail of the characters and the ending. Would like to know what happened play by play. Overall loved it!
Wow! Erin has blown me away again! Gv for the win! Layla is a rough and tumbled girl raised in pure hell, living in pure hell. Set to get info to save her daughter when it goes wrong. Acen, brody, Cato, and fox running the crew but still living life never knew what was coming there way when Layla walked into class.
Secrets revealed, history coming back, death and drama
Wow!!! Perfect story!
Loved this book! Who knew I was into bully romances??!? Not me!! There’s just a something special about these characters that sucks you into their world and has hoping that they all come out the other side relatively unscathed. The only thing you can count on with this author is a story that will pull at your emotions and characters that will have you looking for the nearest shovel.
