This was my first bully book & I fookin love it!!!!! Can’t put it down
It gets better, Pearl gets back what is hers. Her and Seth continue to have this wonderful chemistry, that you know it’s not over between them. It does pick up where the cliffhanger leaves you too, you’ll see Pearl get her revenge on Seth. So worth it!! PS this will leave you on a cliffhanger as well, but guess what there’s a third book you should all read to find out what happens!!
4.5
Wow!
“Shame, humiliation, pain, regret”
What a fantastic continuation for this series. The push and pull from Seth and Pearl is giving me emotional whip lash. Here you both have two strong, alpha personalities clashing, yet are still in love, lust, something strong, whether they want to admit it or not. I am seriously enjoying the hell out of this series. The twist at the end. On to the last one!
This book is the 2nd in the Wicked Hearts at War series and picks up 5 years after the last book! I was pulled in right from the beginning and wanted to know more about Seth and Pearl! There’s a lot of anger and revenge in this book but it is well placed and most of it is deserved. Pearl is hiding a BIG secret from Seth and neither of them want to admit that they still love each other. Can they overcome a mistake made in the past to have a bright future? Grab your copy to find out!!
Wicked Hearts has so many ups and down and things going sideways that you will be engrossed from beginning to end with this bully romance!! I can’t say it is completely a love story so bully romance it is. I can’t wait for the next book to see is Pearl and Seth can fix their lives or separate for good. You can never guess what is coming but when you think you have an inkling things goes sideways. There were a couple of times I thought they are finally going to fix things and things goes sideways and you are trying to guess again. I won’t tell you what happened as you must read this book for yourself. I highly encourage you to read War of Hearts before this one. Be prepared for lots of hot and explosive scenes. Keep a fan handy with some tissues as this book makes your emotions come out. I admit to crying a time or two. It is so easy to get involved in the story where when the ending come you don’t want to put the book down and say till next time to both Pearl and Seth. By the way, if you have triggers this book is not for you!
Wow. This book had my heart racing the entire time. I was SO in love with it. I just wanted to shake Seth and Pearl and tell them to STOP BEING DUMB AND BE TOGETHER!!!! They were torturing each other. I am jumping right into the last book. I really cant say much in this review because I need to hurry and see what happens. That twist towards the end ROCKED MY WORLD. 5 STARS!
This book was a great follow up after book one. I won’t lie I was a little confused with the jump in years (I probably should’ve read the blurb so that is my fault. I felt this was a great book, definitely kept the action going, rather than it being just a “filler” book like most middle books are. I’m also so happy that I get to just slide right into book three after that ending!
Good read! Definitely has twists and turns and steamy scenes!
Pearl and Seth are back at it in their second installment. With a huge secret pearl has been keeping from Seth, things are way more complicated this time around. He promises to do to her what she did to him those 5 years ago. Ticking off each one on his check list, pearl is standing strong and not backing down. Her fathers estate and billion dollar company is at stake. The twists and turns in this book will have you hooked and needed to know what happened and who did it. This somehow trumps the first book and was a nail biter from start to finish. We learn a lot more about Pearl and Seth but still there is so much more we need to know! This was terrifically written and had you on the edge of your seat from the beginning! I highly recommend this series and can not wait for the last book!
My heart is breaking. I can feel it, slowly it’s being ripped in two. Pearl and Seth have gotten a little older, no longer a high school bully stepbrother romance situation. Both have grown up, but not necessarily matured. Still they play their games, Shame, humiliation, pain, regret… and damn it if I didn’t feel each one of those while reading this book. I was sucked in from the first page and I couldn’t stop, I read threw a blurry film as I begged for these two to stop. I am emotionally raw from Wicked Hearts.
Fantastically done Mallory Fox!
Seth and Pearl take us on a wild and crazy ride!! I flew through this book and was caught up in the story before I knew it it was over! I am a lover of bully romance and this book was perfect for it!
These guys are crazy! My goodness I’d like to sit them down and mediate conversation for them. But where would the fantastic and sexy drama be in that? Seth Ida in a mess with his grandfather trying to keep things controlled and Pearl is just in a mess all over the place. Things are falling apart for her, thanks to Seth and his grandfather, and i can’t wait to read the conclusion to see how everything plays out.
Wow, Pearl loved and destroyed Seth in a wink of a eye. Instead of having charges against him, he was sent to military school. Now years later he’s back and with a vengeance to destroy Pearl. He’s slowly working his way into her life and destroying it piece by piece and Pearl is doing everything to save Darlington from Seth. It was her fathers company however his mother made a huge donation that kept the company from going under and including all the properties. This is a school that has rich untitled students using their parents name and money to make a standing and pushing buttons that shouldn’t be pushed without a consequence. Pearl was a war on hands is not backing down from anywhere how far will she go to win and what does Seth have up his sleeve in book two?

I am loving this series and the characters. There are many twists and turns and the emotions are all over the place for me. I can not wait to see what happens with Seth and Pearl next.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is such an amazing story. Mallory Fox keeps you captivated, while twisting your heart. You will love and hate the characters, but keep reading for more.
Mallory Fox pulled me in again right from the first page! This book is a continuation from the first, so you need to read them in order. Fast forward four years and Pearl is entering her final year of University, she is running her families company and is at the top of her class, but everything comes crashing down on her when he is introduced to the student body during opening ceremonies. How can this be? He shouldn’t be here..Seth is back! It has been four long years! Seth has returned for what he feels he is owed and will do whatever it takes to get it back. Pearl and Seth resort back to their games of shame, humiliation and pain, but it seems Seth is not the only one out to get Pearl. Throughout all the events that happen Pearl keeps her head held high and never falters, Seth actually shows some signs of admiration for her at some points and realizes why he loved her at one point and Pearl has moments of where she wishes she could be with him also, but remembers what he is doing to her and how this is just a game of cat and mouse. Pearl and Seth are two people who both want the same thing and refuse to give in, so it makes them hurt each other even though they have feelings for the other, but sometimes love for another can cause more damage than good. I can’t wait to read the final book to see what happens when the secrets Pearl has been keeping are found out and what Seth will do to try and get what he feels he is owed.
Wow I loved this book between Pearl Darlington and Seth Montford And tension between the two is Hot and steamy . I Thoroughly enjoyed major cliffhanger warning and can’t wait till heart break come out .

Pearl thought her feelings for him were buried deep down, but they come rushing back as soon as she sees him. Now the games begin. Between the greed, anxiety, selfishness, and hate Pearl and Seth begin to learn more about each other, their feelings grow deeper but their sights are set on different things.
