It was such a shame that she was in the wrong place, at the wrong time. She knew that we would come for her.We had seen her delicate face that night, hidden in the shadows, and she had seen what we did, her gasp of horror giving her away. She was perfection, beauty, and oozed goodness but that wasn’t going to save her from us. No one could ever find out our secret, which meant we needed to get … secret, which meant we needed to get rid of her.
But killing her wasn’t an option and scaring her into silence wasn’t as easy of a feat as we expected. She was strong, resilient , and smart doing whatever she could to evade us.
Thus without even knowing it she turned it into a game, and so we became blood thirty wolves.
Run and we’ll find you. Keep our secret and you might live.
That is until someone else finds out what we did…

Hurting You was AMAZING! This series get better and better! JL Beck and Cassandra Hallman’s stories exceed expectations. When you think their stories can’t get any better their stories continue to blow me away!
Let me start by saying that Stella, Cameron, and Easton are fire!!! Stella is struggling to support herself and her sick grandmother. Her plan is to just survive and work hard. Easton and Cameron literally rock her world when they insert themselves into her life. She has no choice but to accept them in her life or she will suffer the consequences. Cameron and Easton will make her pay if she betrays them.
I really liked this book. It was a MFM dark Bully romance and it was amazing. I felt every emotion many times. Could not put down.
This book is absolutely amazing. Full of angst, suspense, heartbreak, twists & turns, and heat ! SO GOOD!!! It grabs your attention and interest from the first page. The characters and storyline was fascinating. Bravo!
Love this series
intense emotional broken beautiful twisted
Loved Easton Stella and Cam ready for more
Always hard to write an under four review, I wanna tell you that first.
New author duet for me. Excited to read their book since Zon keep popping their books on my “similar to your read” list.
Bully romance is… How to put this…tricky.
One thin line makes the bully a-hole you wanna punch but all too yummy for the suppose to be victim fight back.
But when that thin line Cross, that bully is just a-hole with no redemption what so ever.
And a heroin with backbone? It’s the most important for me to makes the hero all hot in all his gloriness a-hole.
Hurting You unfortunetly don’t give anything but shuddering in fear.
What Easton and Cameron did and do to Stella is way more than bullying. They aren’t dominant a-hole.
And Stella… ” Though I’m not completely their equal, I’m being given everything I could ever want or need, and that’s worth being grateful for because the alternative could be way worse.”
This line scare me. Cause when a woman make feel she’s so unworthy, degraded… making her feel grateful for anything else other than their demeaning way are just worse for her… That’s scary to read
For me that’s not romance.
But if pages of steamy with force chemistry between this MFM supposed to be bully romance, then this book is yours to read.
Hurting You is the third book in the Blackthorn Elite series by J. L. Beck and C. Hallman. It is a quick paced story with dark elements and looks at the characters Cameron, Easton and Stella. As though Stella’s life wasn’t hard enough, giving up college to earn money and look after her sick grandma, nothing seems to be going her way. Striving to get on with life until one night she sees something that she shouldn’t and is thrown into the path of Cameron and Easton.
Made to do their bidding, Stella seems to be pulled into a cat and mouse game with Cam and Easton who don’t mind sharing and want to make Stella theirs…if only she would follow their rules.
This was certainly a dark, bully read. Cameron and Easton are like the yin/yang of two people. Cam is charismatic, with an easy smile, whilst Easton is dark and edgy. Both give as good as they get when it comes to Stella and both seem to have this undeniable need for control. Stella is also a strong character and although she puts up with a lot from the boys, she also tries to make the most of her situation and the best of her circumstances.
There are a lot of dark, sexy scenes in this book which may be hard to read for some readers. The control that Easton has over Stella can be hard to read at times but you do some to understand where he is coming from. The characters are incredibly written and we also see characters form previous books which was an added surprise. The twists and turns in this book, especially towards the end make you want to keep turning the page and the story between Stella and her grandma is quite heart-breaking and very realistic.
A really well written, heart pounding, darkly sexy story!

The intensity of Easton and Cameron’s character made for some delicious read in this newest release that doesn’t disappoint. You can literally feel the fear that Stella has as she discover the men’s secret that makes her a prisoner of some hot steamy loving. An entertaining storyline with enough drama and suspense that will keep you flipping the pages. I cant wait for the next story in this addicting series.
The plot of this book is dark twisted and keeps you on the edge
of your seat .
With each book I read buy theses author I know I’m in for one
hell of a ride.
Great characters that drew my into the book.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
Hurting You was fabulous! If you’re looking for a super steamy, hot and deliciously dark bully romance, this is it. Stella sees Cameron and Easton doing something she shouldn’t have and now they’re out to keep her quiet. Edgy and addictive this story will keep you glued til the end. This dynamic duo took me on a ride with my emotions. I loved all the twists and turns. Well done ladies!!
OMG…this book was scandalous! It was so good! Stella is a witness to a crime. However, she does not go unnoticed. Cameron and Easton, two handsome alpha males from Blackthorn Elite Academy, are going to kill her or make her wish she was never born. After swearing to keep what she witnessed a secret, they let her go…for now. But they bully her over and over. They scare her into submission. Cameron and Easton vow they are never going to let her out of their sight. She is theirs to torchure. But what if she develops feelings along the way? Cameron or Easton don’t do relationships. But could that change with Stella? This dark romance is a must read! I highly recommend!
I enjoy bully romances a lot and the darker the better so I really enjoy the way this duo writes them. Stella accidentally witnesses something by accident and Cameron and Easton now want to make sure she keeps her mouth shut and will go by it by any means necessary. They basically torment and use her without realizing they are becoming more and more attached to her and she balances out there darkness. I enjoy crazy lol so I really liked Cam and Easton but Stella was a bit weak at first for me but I loved when she finally starts to fight back
Good lord almighty.. this book was something else! Whew. I don’t even have the words for how much I loved this. So dark and angsty and hawt. I can’t decide which of these three stories are my favorite but man, each one is definitely worth your time and money. You need these books in your life. Read this now!
The moment Stella witness something she shouldn’t have are to run. There is no escaping two males standing before her. They know she saw them and determined to keep her from telling anyone . Stellas life will change from this moment.
I enjoyed every word of this book. From the first word to he last. Great dark romance , Thats did push me to my limits. It did take me a while to warm up to Cameron and Easton , However that is to be expected . Stella did bring out the good in them . I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This story was highly entertaining and never dull. A 4 star story that had me reading it in one sitting.
Stella is down on her luck and she witnesses something she shouldn’t have. She was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Cam and Easton wants to make sure she doesn’t say anything. They will be in her space at all times. They weren’t suppose to develop feelings.
This is a dark bully story. It’s different from what I normally read. It’s captivating and addicting. Although I felt I still had pieces of the story missing when I was done reading. I would say it’s a dark erotica bully story.
It’s part of a series but rest assured it can be read as a standalone. Told in a multiple POV with an HEA. I recommend this story.
This is the third book of the Blackthorn Elite series and let me tell you this series keeps getting better and better.
The main characters of the story are Stella, Cameron and Easton ( which this two are best friends and definitely have no problem sharing ) . Twisted fate made them met one night when Stella by accident witnessed something she shouldn’t have but did. Easton and Cam are determined to torment Stella and become her personal hell in order for her to stay quite but without even realizing it they become attached to her wanting to possess her in any way possible.
If you love a good bully romance then this book is for you because it’s dark, with lots of sexy scenes that will melt your panties , full of emotional suspense and lots and lots of angst. I finished this book in one sitting because it’s just that good.
Can’t wait for the next book on the series.
If you like your romances a little on the darker side, this is a good one to read. It’s a story of three broken people coming together to make something whole in a dark and steamy way.
Stella is a young trying to just take care of her grandmother and make a living. Until she meets Cam & Easton at the wrong place and wrong time. Her life changes for better or worse only they will decide. All I can say is WOW!! This book is AWESOME!!!. This series is AWESOME!!! These two authors are amazing!!! I love love these ladies!! Thank you for such a great book!!!!
JL Beck and C Hallman does it again! This dark MFM bully romance is so hot. Cameron and Easton are super possessive and their alpha ways will have you swooning. The two balance each other out as Easton is a lot darker and no holds barred where as Cameron can be more sweet. Stella is at the wrong place at the wrong time when she first encounters the pair. She is the light to their dark; sweet and innocent. This book had me hooked! It’s dark, hot and sexy! A must read.
Another Amazing and Intense Read!
WOW! I was on the edge of my seat reading this one! It was intense, dark, gritty and utterly thrilling from start to finish. Stella was frustrating at times and you really wanted to shake some sense into her but then FINALLY she grew some balls! Cameron and Easton are the epitome of a bully. I really wanted to bash their heads together. They are two very dark and fierce alpha males that will stop at nothing to get what they want and what they want is Stella!
This whole story will emotionally drain you and frustrate you to no end but that is exactly what you want in a dark bully romance! These two authors are a phenomenal duo that don’t hold back when it comes to dark. I loved every frustrating second of it. Keep them coming!!
I really liked this book. JL Beck and C Hallman gives a quick, hot story that I was able to finish in one sitting. The plot was fast paced. I didn’t connect with these characters like I have with Beck and Hallman’s previous books but I’ll definitely never forget them. And I’ll definitely never forget this book!
