Β BLURB
They say there is always a calm before the storm. A time when you think youβre safe, protected from the destruction that you know is going to eventually come. Harper was that calm. And I? I was the motherfucking storm.
As kids we were best friends. She was the light to my darkness. I used to protect her from her bullies, now Iβll become her most feared one.
Seeing her for the first time after three years was like a bucket of ice water being poured on me. It chilled me to the bone, making me irrational, angry. No longer is she a little girl but a grown woman with curves and eyes that pierce my black soul.
No one knows the darkness that lingers under the surface, all they see is my smile, my charismatic charm. Iβm the all American golden boy.
Having her back in my life is awakening something inside of me. She reminds me of everything good, everything Iβll never have and I refuse to let her stay.
She has to go and the only person dark enough, dirty enough to scare her away is meβ¦
Breaking Harper isnβt as easyβ¦ I thought I knew everything, turns out others are just as good at hiding their secrets as I am.
Damaged, dark and falling off the deep end. Will I break her? Will I break us?
βSometimes the scariest monsters arenβt those that hide in the dark. Sometimes theyβre the ones hidden right in plain sightβ¦ like me.β

I love a good bully romance. I honestly just canβt get enough of them. So yeah just go ahead and give me all of them, well at least the good ones. And this second book in the Blackthorn series definitely did not disappoint. It was dark, twisty and oh so delicious!
βThey say there is always a calm before the storm. A time when you think youβre safe, protected from the destruction that you know is going to eventually come. Harper was that calm. And I? I was the motherfucking storm.β
Warren hasnβt seen Harper in three years so imagine his surprise when he sees her at his school. Yup, thatβs right…Warren basically runs Blackthorn and the last person he wants on campus is the girl who broke his heart and betrayed him. Right away we are left wondering what the hell poor Harper could have possibly done to make Warren hate her. Heβs spent three years trying to forget her anyway he can including screwing his way through the female population on campus. As soon as he lays eyes on Harper he wants nothing more than to destroy her and make her pay. He takes bullying to a dark and new level with what he puts her through. On top of all of that poor Harper has no idea why Warren is hell bent on destroying her. Why he ever pushed her away and wants nothing to do with her.
βHate me all you want. But know that I hate you enough for the both of us, and no amount of begging, pleading or tears will ever change that.β
Okay so I really, really wanted to hate Warren. But I didnβt. He was so intentionally cruel to Harper but you could see under all of it that he still loved her. Poor Harper was so sweet and forgiving and just some of the shit he put her through was painful to read. These two were so in love once even though one of their families didnβt want them to be together, they didnβt care. Then it was destroyed because of a betrayal, but what happens when the hate youβve been holding onto for years is all a lie? If the betrayal that broke apart the one good thing you had isnβt what you thought it was? Is there any coming back from the choices you made?
This is the second book in the series but can be read as a stand-alone. I really enjoyed this book and the characters. These two authors know how to work together to deliver a fantastic bully romance! I am looking forward to reading more from them.
βI donβt know if there is any coming back from the things Iβve done.β
