Absolutely wonderful high school take on the bully genre. The writing is flawless and I’ve never read characters like these. A beautiful set up for a totally unique RH romance. None of the heroes are really heroes and yet they are. I fell in love with them. Incredible heroine. I loved every second of this book.
Omg. This book. Wow. All the feels. I was left shattered by this one. Kyla is so amazing. And of course I am in love with the men, even Johnny. Revenge isn’t just a theme, it’s Kyla’s life. I seriously have no idea how Ms. Moore does it. This book will pull you in and leave you broken while you’re anxiously waiting for the next one. Fights, love interests, cliffhangers. All wait for you in this 5 star read.
I need book 2 ASAP! Holy heck this book is fantastic! It keeps you on the edge of your seat and leaves you wanting more. The cliffhanger is pure evil and leaves you with so many questions that need to be answered. Rocket annoys me to no end, Magnum is a mystery I want to unwrap, Oscar is stuck in an awful situation, and Brawler is mine. I am stealing him with no regrets. He pulls at my heart strings and is so different from the others that he makes things interesting. I cannot wait to see what book two brings us.
This has been on my TBR for a while now and I’m kicking myself for not reading this soon bc O.M.F.G. that was intense af!! I’m jumping right into Arm Candy Warrior next, I must know what happens.
Wow!
Uppercut Princess was awesome.
This story seriously blew my expectations, I loved it and was totally enthralled right from the start.
The angst, action, drama, the world and the guys just hooked me and I couldn’t stop reading.
Kyla is fierce and fearless, she is out for revenge but what she doesn’t anticipate is how the guys bring down her walls.
and damn I really want to strangle Johnny, he frustrates me to no end.
Brawler and Oscar have me absolutely in love with them. I also kinda like the bodyguard Mag too
Wow, this absolutely reeled me in! This book is the first I’ve read by this author and I am not disappointed in the slightest. Absolutely obssessed! Kyla is such a badass! She’s risking everything for her vengeance but didn’t expect to get caught up in the Heights Crew as Johnny’s girl. And she definitely didn’t expect to feel something for Brawler or Oscar. She plays the role she’s given perfectly to get to the place that she needs to but can’t help falling for some of Johnny’s charm along the way.
This is such an intriguing, dark, and intense read. I absolutely could not put it down and devoured it in one sitting. That ending was so intense, I’m off to read book 2 because I can’t stop with this crew!
Good start to the series. I like Kayla’s strong character. So much better than the weak, virginal heroines that some author’s rely on. There’s a bit of school bullying, but our heroine is always in charge. I loved the scene towards the beginning when she unveils who she truly is. Read it twice just to make sure I got every detail. Readers can guess who will make up her boys, there are hints; but, by the end of the book, we’re still not sure exactly who will be included in the harem.
Fast paced action and plot, characters with depth, and plenty of steam! Fantastic contemporary RH.
Fantastic start to the series! Love all the characters and OMG Jonny. Cannot wait to see where the author goes with this!
!
Uppercut Princess god damn had me fully invested & my friggin heart pumping reeling for more with every damn chapter. EM Moore knocks it out the playing field with this first installement.
Well let’s just say Kyla is a gorgeous badass, fierce female character lead with a plan that stemmed from heartbreak & pain. Damn Kyla is not your average badass chick, she plays the game but when she is reeled in deeper & quicker than planned, it can only mean one thing?
“. . . , – . ’ ”
For me God Damn Oscar & Brawler are taking my heart piece by piece. The bad boys who have a tough sexy as hell exterior but begin to show their true colours – there is nothing more sexy and endeering! Plus there heart felt comments literally have my heart skipping a beat.
Now Jonny Rocket he has me in twists and knots, the constant too and from makes you feel Kyla’s confusion and excitement to him. This is only thr beginning to his alphaness & HOLY HECK i am ready for him! A late entry for me was Magnum but he has me fully invested that his broodyness is an act… i hope? We’re find out!
That cliffy has WOW has me diving straight into book 2 of the heights crew.
This book is totally different from my usual reads but I was enthralled from the get-go.
This is the first book in and a reverse-harem storyline with elements of bully.
Kyla is out for revenge after the murder of her parents so she joins Rawlings heights purely to infiltrate the heights crew.
The boss big daddy K is the man in charge and the one she holds responsible for her parent’s deaths.
After showing off her skills in the fight ring she comes to the boss’s son Johnny Rocket’s attention who claims her for his own, This, in turn, paints a target on her back meaning she also gets to spend time for protection with others connected to the gang.
This one is slow burn and much of this story here is the set-up of what’s to come, This essentially builds the connections and relationships with all of what goes on here being quite toxic and extremely gritty.
We have Brawler who helps run the fights and also wants to protect Kyla, Oscar nickname bat a gang member and quarterback football player whose already tried leaving the heights once.
Magnum is the muscle and bodyguard of the group and then there’s Johnny himself who is totally unhinged possessive and with a very skewed outlook on what is acceptable and normal behaviour mostly due to his dysfunctional upbringing with his father.
The individuals here are all very diverse with such distinct personalities.
This was jam-packed and ends on a cliffhanger I will definitely be reading more of this series I am interested in seeing just how it is all going to come together especially in regards to Kyla’s bonds to the crew.

Princess is bada$$!!
In some ways she’s colder than a ice maiden’s tit. In others, she’s hotter than Hades and wrapped up tighter than a nun’s a$$. Ok, enough of the metaphors I can’t say in front of my kids. She’s definitely conflicted about the men she’s attracted to, not just Oscar and Brawler, but Johnny and maybe even Magnum? She’s knows what she’s supposed to do, what she wants to do to Big Daddy K, but who will she be hurting along the way? And of those she hurts, will she herself be one of them?
I loved Kyla. She is so determined and so all in on her plan that she finds herself in deep and dangerous waters but adjusts and plows ahead. Her empathy, however, may be the one major obstacle to her achieving her goals and I love how perfectly imperfect she and all the other characters she interacts with. I adored Brawler, but Magnum is my favorite.
Have you ever read a book that inspired you? Like really truly inspired you to get outside of your comfort zone and better yourself and make yourself stronger?
This is exactly what happened to me with Uppercut Princess.
From the VERY BEGINNING I was rooting and cheering for this girl. I mean, I’m reading and I actually start hopping in place saying “omggg” and clapping my hands.
Yep. That really happened. No shame here. I was 100% sucked into this and damn if I’m not obsessed and am aching to hit the gym.
I want her strength and determination! I want all the things. Brawler being one of them just sayin’
And dang if I don’t have a love/hate relationship with freaking Rocket.
No spoilers.
This book is freaking phenomenal—like everything I’ve read by E.M. Moore is—but this one? Yeah, it’s a favorite for sure.
I’m desperate for book 2!
How E.M. Moore makes you fall in love with her characters is pure genius. With a whole new set of characters and a epic book full of anticipation it well worth the read. A very well deserved 5
I felt an instant connection with the characters, the story, the writing, everything!
First off, Kyla is amazing! She’s strong, intelligent, brave, and never compromises on what she believes in! The connection that she shares with the guys is just something one wishes for. They just understand each other!
I loved the backstory of everyone, the plot, AND THAT CLIFFY!! Omg I can’t wait for book 2!! Please EM don’t make me wait long!!
This author has the amazing ability to capture us readers no matter what she write and the story is no different. Kyla is one of the main characters in this book who’s used to living a nice life but want out of that and what he wants is to be part of a crew that’s similar to a gang. The name of this crew is called height crew and she knows she will have to fight to be a part of it. There are four of them with this crew Johnny, Brawler, Oscar, and Mag. Kyla and there’s the world of underground fighting and soon catches the eye of Johnny or otherwise known as Rocket. He then claims her as his and has the other guys and the crow keep an eye out on her. She becomes closer to all of them things become intimate between different times in the book. Also things seem to be going good until then. And then everything is a mess. We’re left with a cliffhanger but this book in my opinion is worth the wait. I can’t wait to see what happens next and what mazing story E.M. continues for us. Your writing is always spot-on and brings out the story in the best way I love the fact that the female character isn’t a pushover in the story or any of her stories. I definitely would give this more than five stars if we could if you haven’t started this book yet you’re missing out.
She’s here to fulfil a promise she made to her parents.
They are here because they are trapped whether they admit it or not.
Crew life is everything, and without it you are simply nothing.
Can she infiltrate the ranks, or will she simply be their punching bag?
Oh my gosh it did NOT end there… yup it did.. *yoinks hair in frustration* I could scream like a banshee right now, I really could!
There’s so much to this book. Vengeance, rules and crew life, relationships and boundaries. Blood and glory. It really has it all!
The characters will amaze you, make you hot under the collar and generally stamp all over your heart.
When the penny dropped and I saw the connection I was shocked to my core! The difference in Bats life from one to the other it broke my heart.
The rocket might initially only be a stepping stone to her destination, and he might be incredibly unstable but there’s something about him.
I can’t quite place my finger on it, but I do know one thing I want to explore him more!
Last but no means least Brawler. The guy on the fence who makes the money and throws the punches he’s more than a panty melter!
And the girl in the middle of everything.. Princess she’s someone to admire. Someone who will both inspire your mind and thrill your heart and is the kind of character that you can’t help but want, no its more than want.. NEED to succeed.
This book is more than something to read, it’s the beginning of a truly magnificent journey, a slice of heaven presented to you in written form. Something to make you, and break you. Wowsers.. just wow.
Holy heck! This book wow! There are not enough good things to say about it! EM Moore did an amazing knock out job on this book! She really tested the boundaries and knocked it out of the park with this one! I loved Kyla she’s such a strong character! Brawler and Oscar are seriously my favorite guys I can’t believe Oscar got his time to shine I’m so happy eland excited for the next book!
She did it again!
I love all of Moore’s work but this one is definitely a favorite of hers!
Kyla is a fierce FMC and she arrived in town with a plan. Even if that plan might get turned upside down by the men in her life. I can’t wait to see how everything unfolds and how Kyla adapts with the circumstances.
The chemistry Kyla and her guys have is through the roof. The guys all know each other but they definitely aren’t all best friends. It will be an interesting ride to see everyone come together and I’m excited for every second of it.
After that cliffhanger, book 2 can’t come fast enough!!
