I think I'm in a state of shock right now. Throughout this book I couldn't wait for the truth to come out. However, I was not prepared for that emotional ride. It's been a while since a book has brought me to tears but this one did it. I can't wait to see what happens next.

The characters, the secrets, everything is woven into this intricate web that keeps you turning pages, dying to know the outcome.On to book two

***Please check the trigger warnings!!!! This is a book you really don't want to skip reading them, I'm not joking!***This book was a hard one to get through in the best way possible. Alisha Williams really put me through it. It was so good to finally find a book that had a strong FMC who didn't sleep with her bully right away like most FMCs do in a college bully romance books. Especially when its a RH romance. Alisha had such a way of writing that made me feel as if I was right there next to Ellie watching it all unfold before my eyes. It also made me hate 'Silver Knights and Lady Rain' with their inability to take a moment and listen to what Ellie had to say about that graduation night.Ok let's get right to it. Ellie is a college freshman who has just moved back to attend college at Silver Valley University, years of having had to move away after a traumatic event on the day of her high school graduation. A night she was never able to tell her side of the story, that includes a painful secret that nobody bothered to ask about or listen to. One that ended with her losing the loves of her life and caused her to be labeled a cheater. Knowing very well she might cross paths with her ex's, Brody, Jax, Chase, and Rain, she decides to be strong and continue her dream to have a career. Not knowing she will be walking into a world of constant bullying, rumors, lies, hate, love, and friendship.The relationship and trust she has been able to build with Theo, a professor at SVU, was amazing. His unwavering support, love, and communication with Ellie was something I don't see in many books and something I loved. On the other hand, I hated Brody and Rain the most. Their inability to let the past go, the bullying, and jumping to conclusions made them seem so childish. I disliked Chase and Jax and their inability to put a stop to the bullying sooner yet liked their ability to accept they may have lost Ellie for good. The prologue and last chapter were hard to get through for sure. It ended on a major cliffhanger, and I need to know what happens next. I need the next book to release now!

This was my first book by the author and I was not disappointed! I have a feeling this series is gonna be in my top 5 series!Ellie has been through ALOT & and has conquered ALOT. I want her to be my friend! She is such an inspiration with what she has overcome past and present!Without spoiling to much…. Cause you just really need to read it and find out….

Crowds and parties aren’t really her thing so after a couple of drinks Ellie is ready to call it a night. But she doesn’t want to ruin their fun. So she stays. Well staying changes her life forever.Ellie moves away after and is heartbroken. Just to find out her body was keeping a secret from her for months.4 years after the graduation party Ellie is back! And the Knights and their Lady aren’t happy about it to say the least. Holding on to what they assumed was the past. Wink wink. They don’t know.Ellie however is doing what is best for her and her family. Not giving in to their demands and torture. In the midst of it all Ellie finally let’s her guards down and let’s Theo in 😍Theo is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I’m afraid if I keep going I’ll gonna spoil the book for future readers. So I’m just gonna say this book is for you! NOW PLEASE READ TRIGGER WARNINGS. this book does talk about some heavy things and you should be aware so you don’t do any damage to your own self care!So excited to keep reading about SVU and this groups stories! And also read your other work!! So glad I came across this book title!Ready for Book 2!!! 😆

I absolutely loved this book. I read it on a recommendation and I couldn't put it down once I picked it up. I would gove it ten stars of I could!

This book was everything I was looking for right now! It was heartbreaking in places but written so so well. I can’t wait to see how it all pulls together in the next one!This is a bully/second chance RH book. There is both MM and FF inside so if that’s not your thing don’t read. The FMC and one of the men have kids and they’re featured in the book a lot, so again if it’s not your thing…. Also seriously read the trigger warnings.If none of the above are no’s for you then I 100% recommend this book!! The main characters are in their 20s and 30s so not high school age (though some of the idiots still act to like they’re in high school! Stupid people!)I loved the fact the FMC found such a strong supportive friendship group rather than it seeming her against the universe. All the characters felt so real too and had a sense of depth.I’ve already pre-ordered book 2 and am going to find another series from this author to dive into right away!! Definitely a new favourite!

Such a good story and can't wait for the next one! These guys and girl have some grovelling to do and they know it!I couldn't put it down and of it wasn't because boss knew I had started a new book, I would have called in sick to finish it lolI can't wait to read what happens next and what happens when the other big secret gets revealed to the group *so excited *Alisha is an amazing author and I would recommend this to anyone who love a good story and is okay with the naughty bits and some ff and mm

I really love this book, the way Alisha writes really conveys all the angst that Ellie think s feeling, our FMC is tough and is back at SCU to make a better life for herself and her daughter Lily. The way her former lovers treat her made me so mad I almost threw my iPad at the wall. This is such an amazing bully romance. Really love this trope and this is one of my favourites I’ve read multiple times it’s just that awesome. It has some great spicy scenes and sets the scene for plenty grovelling in book two

I stumbled across this series quite accidentally and boy am I glad I did. I read it in a night because I needed to know what was coming next. I cried, it have me anxiety, I swooned and it made me smile! Couldn't ask for anything more from a good book. So glad I have book 2 to read. First book by this author that I've read and it did not disappoint, I look forward to reading more from this author.

This book is action packed from the get go!There’s so much pain, angst, emotion and baggage to unpack throughout this book but there is also so much love, passion and spice that it will have your toes curling and hot under the collar!This book has so many things going on within it and I can’t wait to find out what’s to come!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
