From bestselling author Steph Macca comes a steamy academy/enemies to lovers romance.

Ridgeview Valley was known for two things.

One: Well before any of us were alive, a chunk of asteroid smashed into the town’s center and left a miniature crater which they celebrate atrociously.

And two: On either side of the town, there are two competing schools that wage war over a long-time feud.

Cedar Heights Academy was clearly the superior winner. But after a mysterious, totally not-suspicious fire temporarily closes it down, we’re all forced to attend the rival Willowbrook Academy.

We frequently take our decades-old feud to the cage and fight it out, but not even that could prepare me to deal with Rylan Astor, Hunter Lannister, and Tai Beckett on a daily basis – the so-called Kings of Willowbrook.

I know one thing for certain: Just because I am walking into enemy territory, it doesn’t mean I’m about to give up my crown.

There’s a reason Cedar Heights only needs a queen to rule… And I’m about to dethrone the kings once and for all.

What better way to bring down an empire than from inside their own castle.

Ok but I LOVED THIS. I have had Steph on my TBR for the longest time and I am genuinely happy that I waited for this series to be my first read of hers. With that being said, I think I may EXPIRE from that cliffhanger. WHAT DO YOU EVEN MEANNNNN!?!? If I don't find out what happened to them RIGHT NOW, I am going to BURST! This full cast performance was EVERYTHING. Listen, you put Aaron Shedlock in anything and I will devour, but throw him in with Maxine Mitchell, Anthony Palmini, AND JF Harding!? I was down so bad from the get go. Hunter, Rylan and Tai had me in the tightest chokehold and Bex!? She is such a baddie. I loved her. I cannot WAIT to see where this story goes. 4/5 stars!

Steph Macca is always a 5 star read for me!! I love her and with this story oh how it was just the beginning. I waited for audio to release for this one. It’s a complete enemies to lovers trope. Bexley is a girl from Cedar Heights and her school had a “mysterious” fire and forced to attend the rival school where she’s forced in proximity with the Willowbrook boys. Rylan, Tai and Hunter. The tension between these 4 is so intense but I love how Bex is one tough girl and doesn’t let these ‘boys’ back her into a corner.

I’m going to need that book 2 now though!!!

Holy Cliffhanger!!!

Waiting on book two. I don't usually read/listen to series, but this one had me hooked and waiting on the next book.

I wasn’t so sure about this book to start given the immaturity of the writing. Yes, I know it’s high school themed, but still it was a rough start. However, 1/2 through it took a turn for me. So overall I do like the series now that there is more depth to the story. On that note, I look forward to the next book in the series. Hopefully it won’t be too long.

The performances were excellent!

Good start.
