I found this series in the suggestions. And though I wanted to DNF it a thousand times, I couldn't. Call it my curiosity for what happens next?, I read the entire series in a day.

Does that mean I liked it?
Hardly.

What important thing I felt left out was the guys' characterization. They were just there. No pasts, no reveling of their secrets, no traits. I assumed it would be finally be spoken about in second (that didn't happen), then in third book of the series. And you know what - It didn't happen either. So, a big loss on my part.

I feel betrayed because this series could have been so much more. Nah, that didn't happen either.

This is lazy writing. So many questions unanswered. Also, the author took too many things to far. Jess’s attitude was too much. I could not read the intimate scenes between her and the guys. I just started picturing her with all the other people she was with since she reminded us of them repeatedly.

We find out who the rapist/stalker is. Jess accused one man while another was guilty. It was all confusing. I think the author wanted to make it a shocking twist, but it just came of as ‘huh’?? I read book three to find out who the rapist was, but it was a bit disappointing.

I don’t like how Jess accused Mr. T of threatening her to have sex with him in her office when she consented to it and knew she was doing it so he would look the other way when she got in trouble. I think she said in book one it was ‘tit for tat’. Jess only accused Mr. T of threatening her when he did not do what she wanted him to do.

Again a lot of inner dialogue about nothing. A professional editor is needed.

Jess would call other girls whores when she had no right to do that. Jess had sex with several men. What gave her the right to call anyone that?!?! She randomly picked men at the strip club she attended in book 2. Did she check if they had wives or girlfriends?!?! She would just throw that word around. I don’t think she should have been calling anyone that.

In the end, I disliked Jess. I don’t think she had a good head on her shoulders. I think after the trauma she went through, she should have sought therapy not three guys to date.

My opinion. You may love it. Reading is subjective.

What just happened?

I am so confused. This book had so many twists and the author did nothing to clarify them. I mean why was Callum being blackmailed by his own mom anyway? The author also alludes to the guys having more secrets but yet none were actually revealed. In fact it was almost like the author just got bored with the story and decided to hurry up and end it. O’well forget why the blackmail happened in the first place, why Callum‘s mom insisted he date what’s her name, forget that Jess’s BFF did a 360 on her. Explain none of that. Just say oh they caught the bad guy now it’s a happy ever after. I’m so mad I even started this series.

Lazy and ineffective storytelling

I am so disappointed, frustrated, and mad right now. I loved this first book in this series. The second I still enjoyed, but the secrets being kept started to annoy me when nothing was explained. But I kept on because I figured questions would be answered and things explained in this book. Nope. Nothing. More of the same - I can’t tell you; It’s better if you don’t know; We’re protecting your; It’s not my secret....blah, blah, blah. Literally nothing was explained. Nothing. Things were glossed over, what little snippets of information we were given didn’t make sense, random things were thrown in. It was just lazy. Mystery, intrigue, and this secretive organization were created/hinted at throughout the series, but nothing ever explained about it. Why the attack? Why the hate? Why the blackmail? Why did no one ever tell the FMC anything or explain anything about anything?

I have latched onto this series from the beginning, and what a wild ride it has been. Belladona has done a great job of weaving a fantastic story that has you coming back for more. I cannot wait to see what else she has in store for us.

Love Me, Baby picks up where Tease Me, Baby leaves off. Did Jess make it away from her attacker unscathed? Were the guys able to save her? Don't worry we find out that and so much more. The hunt is on for the masked man, before he gets to Jess. Callum, Ellis, Asher and Quinn do everything they can to protect their girl. And we get to see Jess's dad, he makes a very big role in this installment. Proving things are not always what they seem. One thing is for sure, Jess is not beaten down yet. She has a lot of fight left in her, and with the love of her guys behind her she will not let anyone or anything get in her way of happiness.


For everyone who has been waiting for this to release with anticipation and expectations high, I can honestly tell you that Love Me, Baby meets them and more. So much happens here. We get so many answers, twists and turns, will Jess be able find out who the masked man is?? The same man that killed her mom? Will the guys be able to protect her from an evil that has stalked her for even longer than she realizes? And can they find the happily ever after that they deserve? You will find out all of this and more in Love Me, Baby!!

I have loved this series but this book felt like it was rushed. I still enjoyed it, but it was the little things that tended to irritate me a little. Certain plot twists were introduced and yet were never explained and the editing wasn't that great. Incorrect words used, typo's and extra/dropped words in sentences as an example. Shame, because this should have been a fantastic finale.

The story in this series is good in general, but there are just too many unanswered questions left at the end to fully enjoy the potensial this series has. There would have to be a hole new book just to tie up lose ends.

Why was Callum's mom blackmailing him?
And why did she hate Jess so much?

Why did her dad have to stay away for halv a year before he could be a part of her life again?

What was all the secrecy about the Empire?

What kind of work did they really do, and why could her dad not even tell her he was a part of the Empire, or where he got the money to invest/buy in to the company?

Why did everybody seem to be scared of the guys and their families?

What was all the secrets that everybody seemd to hint at all the time, that for everybodies safety, she needed to find out on her own instead of them just telling her?

Why did her dad not prepare and groom her to somedy take his position in the Empire (the position she is to take when he retires) when the guys had been groomed their entire lives?

Why was her best friend just gone in this book, why did her BFF never visit her in the hospital or when she was home recovering?
And what about her BFF's relationship whit Davis, why did we not get a good explanation as to what happend there?

Why had her dad hired security to watch over her long before he even left her and her mom?

What did the "code" Asher left on his voicemail mean?
And how did they find out where the kidnaper were, what led them to him?

Like i said, it was a good story overall, but there are just too many unanswered questions witch just left me frustrated. There was also way to much "inner dialog"/unesesary rambling to where i struggled at times to keep focused on what i was reading. The ending and the epilog seemed rushed, instead of giving the series a satisfactory finally.

Absolutely unreadable!

It's been awhile since I've come across a book,especially a last installment in a series, that I could not soldier through. This was so awful a read,I tried,I truly did. I tried to push myself to continue reading it,to get through to be able to properly rate this book. I gave author the benefit of doubt again and again until I just had to give up. My time is better spent literally doing anything else. I did want some answers so I dutifully skimmed over looking for them just to come across more ridiculous solutions. Maybe it was due to me skipping pages,but other readers comments prove that it's not,but I just couldn't find any answers at all. Yes,her raper and murdered gets revealed. Btw,in some ridiculous way. Yes,few extra twists gets thrown in for good measure. But that's about it. All the hints dropped, presumed mysterys weaved stays unanswered.

Terrible book that I recommend to my enemies-those bastards should suffer with this nonsense!

Loved this series.

This felt like a different bully reverse harem series. The main character Jesslyn has officially beaten out Ella from the Royals series as most kickass heroine!!!!!never thought I would find another heroine more harass than Ella but Jess won!!! Horses and such pitchy women and crazy psychotic men!!!!! Loved this series!!!

I started this series and the beginning seemed promising. Book 1 was a good read, book 2 was drifting away from me and book 3 lost me. I had a hard time finishing it.

In the first book, we get to know Jess and the boys. In the end of that book, Jess didn't just give in to the boys, she didn't just forgive them for how they treated her. Was she a strong heroin?
Books 2 and 3 definately didn't show that. Her mother walked right over her and used her as a punching ball. Her father pretty much did the same, maybe not literally but emotionally. One day being a dad, the other day acting like a distant stranger. Even the boys messed up. They kept everything from her. Nothing was shared, despite her saying she demanded answers. She never pushed for answers and she never got answers. Neither did we.

So many turns and twists, but never any reveals. Why did her mother order an attack on Jess? Who was this dude, what was his connection to her mother? Why was Callum blackmailed by his mother? Why did he have to date Alessandra? What did his mother have against Jess?

Her Father had to stay away for months, but we never learned why? How did he get into the Empire? What was he secret there, what kind of company was that? And why did those families have so much influence in town?

The voicemail Asher left, what did that code mean?

What happended with being best friends with Kharma? Where did that go wrong?
One thing we did learn. Apparently Kharma really is a bi...

Back to heroin Jess. Her way of "dealing" with the ordeal she'd gone through two years prior is just not working for me. And it was quite an ordeal. Then two years later you accuse the principal of forcing you to have sex? She even admitted she slept with him to have leverage over him and she used it against him. Really? That doesn't make you a heroin. On top of that she goes around calling other girls whores. Mirror, mirror on the wall!
She left a bad taste in my mouth.

This last book just felt rushed and left too many things unaswered to really enjoy it.

Not my cup of tea but...

So I'm not a fan of reverse harem books. It's not my taste and it sure doesn't capture my attention. I began reading this series not realizing that it's a harem style book, and when I did end up realizing that's the direction it was going in I couldn't just stop reading because of that.

So again not my cup of tea but not horrible. I can see why some readers enjoy reverse harem books, but not me. This one however had a good story line and it kept my interest to at least finish the series. I like how the author made all the hardships that the female character had to endure so realistic.

This book does have triggers for anyone who is sensitive to certain subject matter. So proceed with caution. Overall, the series was good although I probably won't read another series similar to this one, but I gave it a shot and can honestly say that unfortunately this type of romance book is not for me. If it is for you, then happy reading, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

My only other complaint is the lack of editing. Many times I had to re-read a sentence just to figure out what the author was trying to say. Other than that, no big complaints, just not a huge fan.

I’ll admit when I started reading this series, I thought it was similar to a lot of other high school bully romance books I’ve read. But as I continued reading, the story took turns I didn’t expect and there was a lot of mystery behind the whole plot. I liked Jess’s strength and grew to like the guys as well. I really enjoyed this series and quickly read through all three books!

Dramatic

A series that doesn't rest and never lets you sleep. Lots and lots of drama and intrigue where power and money leads to crime and rape, murder and bullying is the weapon. This book is not a typical read but does involve over privileged teens with a bit more freedom to cause havoc.

So I really really like these books they are intense. Scary but made me laugh quite a few times I couldn't put them down there were a few times I got a little lost but I think it's because I read too fast so my bad lol. I love the mc but Quinn is definitely my fav sorry guys had to go there haha.... so just throwing it out there you could totally write another like 10 books for the life after I wouldn't be mad at all 😂

Idk

I said with the other 2 books in this series that editing needed to be done and that’s the case with this one too.
I was hooked though. Even though I knew it’d be a HEA, I had to know what would happen. I wasn’t disappointed by the story. I hope to read this author again and find growth in writing, style and dialogue.

This whole series has been one helluva rollercoaster ride. At times I was actually yelling to get off the ride. Yeah, it was that intense.

I seriously love how badass Jess was no matter her circumstances. She was strong when she needed to be and didn’t wait for anyone else to come and save her. That’s all I ever ask of a heroine.

All the men in her harem were pretty drool-worthy too. I love Quinn the most. Big strong guy with ink? Yeah I’m a goner.

Only thing I was left wondering really was what happened to Karma? She was stuck to her like glue for like 2 books and you barely hear about her on this one. Just sad to read where her and Davis’ story arc went.

Other than that and a few grammatical /typo errors (added in my notes), this series was definitely a MUST READ! Can’t wait to read the next bullymance book that’s coming out from this author.

Oh yeah...the covers are absolutely gorgeous!

So many unanswered questions

Ok so I have debated on leaving a review. I’d like to start out and say it was a good series. The author had a good intentions of the story. Buttttt my problem is that I have been left with sooo many questions. You never find out everything they are keeping from Jess. You never know what happens to some of the people like her bullies. And her BEST FROEND WAS ABANDONED that was a BIG NO. Like why did you leave her out. What happens with her? She was sleeping with the principal too?? I’m just so disappointed. And to be quite frank after reading the first book I thought I’d give the second book a try and I hate leaving things unfinished so I had to finish the series. Only good thing was I didn’t think it was the teacher. I thought it was the coach. So. Maybe if there would have been a better ending that answered all unanswered questions maybe I wouldn’t be so upset. It was a good story but you will just be left with so many questions.

What?? This is the last book and it hardly answers any questions.
There were so many “mysteries” constantly talked about. The MC knew nothing. All her guys, her parents, her enemies, every single person was just constantly saying it was a secret, she’d find out eventually or giving her secret/weird looks that made them seem like they were keeping secrets and the author did nothing to reveal any of it.

Why was Callum being blackmailed by his mom?

What were all the secrets the guys kept hinting at?

Why was the MC BF just gone for the most part?

Why was she sleeping with the principal?

What were all the secrets her dad kept hinting at?

Why was her dad so bipolar?
He’d be acting like a dad, then act like horrible to her.

I have so many more questions!
The “mysteries” were dragged out and then the ending was just rushed. The epilogue was a disappointment. *sigh*

Overall series rating: 2.5 - 3 stars

While I did enjoy this last book...my question is why? There were so many unanswered things left and where the heck did Karma go?

The book had me interested enough to keep reading it, but from where we left off in book 2, I would have thought so many things would have been clarified and secrets revealed.

For example, why was Callum forced into being with Alessandra? That's only 1 question out of the MANY!

Grammatical errors were at a minimum so I could overlook it enough.

Overall series rating: 2.5 - 3 stars. The story line was enough to keep me intrigued and I did enjoy the dynamic of the characters. This was my first intro to a "multiple" relationship. But the grammatical errors were too often, especially though the first book. Too many strings left untied by the end of the series. So, won't be reading again.

Good read for sure, with everything coming to surface and finely knowing who was behind it all and the way the series ended was nice and sweet, definitely a good series and would recommend it.

Love me baby is the third and last book in the series! It was everything I imagined it was going to be I fell in love with Jess and her guys from the beginning. There is so many ups and downs throughout the series that I wasn't too sure what the ending would be like but the answers we get in this last book bring everything together with a happily ever after we all hoped for. This is definitely one Bully Book that I fell in love with the author is amazing with her writing and always keeps your interest I can't wait to see what she does next. if you haven't started this series I suggest doing so as soon as possible you won't regret it.
