3 ⭐⭐⭐ - OK or decent reads
=========================
I confess that I picked up the book because of the author and didn't pay attention to the plot. I simply don't read books about bullies; I don't like and I'm not attracted to this type of reading.
I managed to read until the end and it was ok, despite the OTT scenes and cringe-worthy sex scenes.

Morgan and Roman
Bully Romance
Morgan is unfortunately abused and take advantage of during her childhood. Then insert Roman who then has everyone bully her. Some serious OW drama.

I gave up 50%. Formulated characters. Nothing original. Predicable. Forced.
A DNF.

It was an okay story. Same downtrodden FMC as all the rest of this author’s FMC’s. Not anything really interesting in this book other than the usual grossness of the male characters in the bedroom department.
I do have to say as an American hockey novice that even I know the Stanley Cup is for professional NHL players and not for college hockey sports. While I couldn’t figure out what the college level trophy actually was when I googled it, I can still promise you it is NOT the Stanley Cup.
So while I enjoyed this book, it was typical of this author and had nothing unique about it that would have me remembering it or rereading it. I have read everything else by this author in the last three weeks, so now I’ll be in a book hangover until she comes out with more or if one of my favorite other authors comes out with a new book.
Lastly, the errors seemed less in this book but they are still there.
Either way, I will never read this book again. Good luck.

There were so many grammatical errors that it actually took away from the reading experience. The story itself was predictable, which is common with romance I feel but this one was forced. Mafia Don wants to arrange marriage for son, he rebels (because teenagers), falls in love with some girl who spills coffee on him, turns out she's from the life anyway and was trying to find her way back.

It seems as if with the more recent books the author is toning down the soapy drama.
Grovel = H sees h and instantly thinks, oh I'm going to make her life miserable because she is breathing my air....until he realizes that his visceral reaction to the h is because he has been hit by Cupid's arrow and he actually has fallen hard for the h, but doesn't want to accept it. H bullies h and encourages others to do so as well. Once realization occurs, H instantly starts fawning over h; he falls first and hard. H through actions and words grovels to h. h was never a doormat and just kind of shrugs her shoulders and accepts the grovel.
OW drama = several skanky OW - h's mom, h's sister, H's FWB, hockey team puck bunny, etc. They all eventually get their comeuppance.

Morgan and Roman
Great plot with likeable characters. Though I thought the sexy times needed a bit more ...heat. Nonetheless, great read.
Roman is to be the next Dom, but before that, he was allowed to continue playing hokey, his true passion. What he doesn't expect is to get obsessed with the shy girl that he bumped into. Highly recommended

I really liked the story, but the grammatical errors were so distracting. It wasn't just one or two. There were so many. I felt like I was reading a book that wasn't even proofread.

This was a highly entertaining read with bully action, angst, drama, and much more. Did it have some inconsistencies and imperfections? Yes. Did it affect my reading experience? Nope.
