Bully (Fall Away, #1)

by Penelope Douglas

[Molly J(Cover To Cover Cafe)]

Holy smokes! I have NEVER read a Penelope Douglas book before and I don’t know why. She is phenomenal! This book. How do I write this review? I loved it. I hated it. I hated to love it. I loved to hate it.

I absolutely loved Jared. I absolutely loved Tate. They were incredibly chiseled. The pain and embarrassment that Tate felt was often my own and I cried. The Bully that was Jared was absolutely beautiful. His emotions rolled off the pages and became a part of me. I didn’t want to love him. I cussed at him, I yelled at him, I cried for him. It was brilliant. I can’t wait to go into his POV and see more of him. Feel more of him. Love him all over again.

I will tell you, this isn’t an easy read. It’s emotional, it’s powerful, it’s friggin fantastic but if you want a sweet, non angst read, this isn’t it. If you want a 4 star worthy read that will knock the breath from you, that will leave you reeling and ready for more, then absolutely pick this up. Fantastic job, Ms. Douglas. Fantastic job!
