Preliminary Review

UPDATE** This book read like a group of 4 jerks easily manipulating a naive pliable little girl into doing what they want. There was no discernable reason why they all stopped bullying her and wanted her all of a sudden.

Why can't I ever find a good girl falls for her bully book. Great writing style, good characters, good pacing, logical progression of the story without a DUMB FEMALE masquerading as a strong female. I know it's possible. I found those qualities in The Curse of The Gods and Seraph Black series. The bully should show some form of a starting redemption before the female shows any inkling of interest. It's a smack in the face when the female is docile, kisses the bully, let's him touch her in anyway while he's being nothing but a jerk. Like getting her shot with paintballs in the chest, stuffing her locker with garbage, humiliating her in the cafeteria, having most of the student body torment her, calling her Idaho trash. Being attracted to the bully's is one thing but completely pretending like she wasn't tormented by them in their presence was insulting my intelligence. I mean writing women like they can't control their lady parts is insulting. This girl was almost going to, just about to, soon she was going to, before she could do... to death. So many things happened with no logical intent. Just like a bunch of incidents to fill a book. So dissapointing.

I have already read this exact story but...

I have already read this story but in a different book and author. This is pretty much the exact story of the first book of filthy rich boys of burberry prep series. All the way down to the ending reveal. 4 guys one girl. Act like they hate her then pretend that they like her. End of school assembly reveal shocking video to destroy girl. Girl vows to get back at them next book!

Are there any original stories anymore?

Bully Romance

I’m dead and I’m dying. The ending.... how do I cope?

I’m such a sucker for a bully romance and this does not disappoint. I’m completely in my feelings and need book 2 immediately.

Oh Talia, if you need to tag me in I’ve got your back. Have you ever just want to rip throats out for a character because you will after this.

Kasi does a wonderful job narrating

One of the best B.R I've read this year

This was a very realistic Bully romance without the extensive over dramatization some hold, it was written with a clifhanger you'll accept as an ending or deny this heroine would allow it to end this way.

Best part of this story was the heroine isn't one to be a pushover to take everything that happens and she will further prove herself on the continuation, the performance is impresive as she creates a uniquenes to each character that appears on this audio.

Fantastic Story & Narration🎧 Mind Blowing!

Ok, so bullies really piss me off, but after hearing rave reviews about how great the story and narration was I had to listen and I must say I am very happy I did. Callie Rose has a wonderful writing style, she grabbed my attention and my heart right from the start and held it to the end. Her characters are complex and continue to develop, I just know there is much more to each and every one of them. I adored Talia, her strength and tenacity. I also love the whole idea of the royals, the princes Mason, Finn, Elijah, and Cole. The popular boys who rule Oak Park Prep and the kings of bullying. Heck there is no shortage of bullies in that school. I was cursing them out in my head, I may have verbalized a few out loud too. I loved this twisted story and how every thing played out, all the drama, the angst, the hot romance and the mind blowing twist at the end. I can’t wait to see what comes next, I am team Talia all the way! Callie Rose, thank you for this great story and the emotional rollercoaster ride.

I listened to the Audible edition, Kasi Hollowell is a wonderful narrator and voice performer. She brings these characters to life, gives each their own distinct voice and personality and attitude. She does a great job covering both male and female roles, making it easy to follow the story and who is who. She is great with projecting the emotions of the characters and the drama of the story into her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen🎧

Thank you 🎧@AudiobookObsession #AudiobookObsession #AudiobookObsessionReviewer🎧

I NEED BOOK TWO

I got this on audible, and the narrator I thought did a wonderful job. I really hope all three books will be available on audible. I love reading but very seldom get the chance and audio books help keep me sated.

Shocked!

WOW! This book really slayed me. The ending is a doozy. Talia has had to suffer most of her life. When she thinks things are looking up she lets her defenses down which ends up being a really bad idea. She is a strong character even when things are tough and bringing her down she doesn't give up. I am so excited for the next book. I can't wait to see what Talia does.

Kasi Hollowell does a really good job narrating. She gives different voices to the characters and is able to maintain the voices throughout.

Love this book

There is so much detail. It made me laugh and cry. Such an amazing book.

From rags to riches

Talia was living in Idaho with her Alcoholic, abusive father. Her mom died when she was young. At 16 she worked at a diner to help pay the bills. One night when she came home from work , she found her father dead. She called 911 . When the authorities found out she was only 16, they told her she needed to go into foster care. Her caseworker found out she had very wealthy grandparents living in California that would take her in. She was reluctant at first, Talia decided it was better to be with family than with strangers. But her abuse didnt stop. Going to her new private school was hell. Being the new girl, she was bullied by the 4 Boys known as the Royals. Anything they said the students would follow. One day things changed. The Royals started to be nice to her. The bullying stopped. But why? Did they have an ulterior motive?
This story shows how strong a person Talia is. She wouldnt let them get to her. She came with nothing , she can leave with nothing. This ends with a cliffhanger waiting to see what happens next. Kasi Hollowell narration flows smoothly from one character to the next. She shows all the emotions throughout the story. 🎧audiobookobsessionreview🎧

Great Read

Savage Royals: Boys of Oak Prep, Book One was a great read by Callie Rose. Talia is just trying to keep her head down and survive until graduation. Unfortunately "the princes" have other plans for her. The princes are four boys that always get what and who they want. They all seem to hate Talia due to their bullying of her, but they want her. I enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to read more by Callie Rose. #audiobookobsessionreviewer
