Senior year was off to a rough start: lube in my locker, panties on my front porch, unimaginative name-calling. See, I got a player suspended from the football team for harassing me, and in my small Texas town, you don’t mess with the football players—even if they mess with you first. I didn’t care if it was an unpopular thing to do; I stood up for myself... and in doing so, opened Pandora’s Box. I never dreamed I would attract the attention of locally worshiped star quarterback, Carter Mahoney. Never imagined his coveted attention would turn out to be such a nightmare. Beneath his carefully constructed façade lurks a monster, a predator looking for the perfect prey to play with. Now, since I’m the girl no one likes or believes, I guess I’m the perfect target for his dark games and twisted desires. After surviving my first encounter with his casual depravity, all I really want is for Carter to leave me alone. But all he seems to want is me.--publisher description.

Do I think you should read this book? Yes, bitch do it.
After reading so many bully romances, you really think things aren't going to surprise you, but wow this one was a pleasant surprise after blindly picking it up off of a reddit recommendation. I will say, this book starts off a lot darker than the tone that carries through the rest of the book, so if that first chapter has you going WTF, don't worry. Personally, it a little disorientating as I thought I was in for a much, much, darker MMC than I got, but Carter is still swoon-worthy in his morally grey areas anyways and I love him for it😘.
FMC stole the book in my opinion, bully romances are nothing without a witty, stubborn and hilarious female lead, and Zoey checks all the boxes. Their banter and fighting made me laugh and have to shut off my kindle from shock so many times, it was a fun read through and through.
If you're looking for a HEA bully romance with a MMC that is more than he appears, this one is for you, just make sure you watch you TW's!
Read this book !!
Didn't expect to love this!
Listen. Carter isn't for everyone. Read the content warnings. I am still conflicted about the beginning of this relationship but I frankly couldn't put this book down. This isn't my first romance with this kind of Dominant/submissive power dynamic but I don't read a lot of darker romance. I ended up loving Zoey and Carter's relationship but Carter is over the top, manipulative, jealous...I could go on. LOL. But he does actually care deeply about Zoey. That's why I enjoyed this so much! ❤️
