About the author
L. Ann
48 books996 followersIf you are looking for gentle romps through the flowers, with lovers holding hands and never making mistakes, then my books are not for you.
I don't write heroes or heroines, I write people with baggage, history and problems. My characters are flawed, they're messy, they make disastrous mistakes that are hard to come back from. My stories are not sweet or kind, they are dark and, at times, cruel. They deal with uncomfortable subjects and I do not apologise for it.
If you like plot twists, characters you don't think you'll ever grow to love but eventually do, sarcasm, dark paths and messy relationships, then come on in. The water may be deep and shark-infested, but I know the way out ...I promise.

ღღ 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋 ღღ Is the third full length dark romance book within the 'Churchill Bradley Academy' series. Spoken in 'dual perspectives' by two new to me authors. HERO: Eli HEROINE: Arabella
Even though this series has been dragged out I'm still invested enough and enjoying it enough to keep going. This kicks starts off where the previous book left off.
AND OMG Not far in and it's FINALLY revealed who SIN is..Here I thought He'd have to do some serious grovelling, but that's not the case, etched on his skin is a nicely done puzzle piece.
BUT still the threats come through from an unknown person/or persons but before when she had no one in her corner she now has Eli & Kellan on her side with others joining forces.
Until Eli’s switch is flicked and he’s spiralling out of control, his inner monster is unleashed with things going too far.
He has some major grovelling to do (yet again) the ping ponging too and fro with these two is relentless.
This was more emotional, more angst, more trepidation.
I’m unsure how the authors are going to wrap things up in the next book because I thought this finished perfectly.

Oh man 🥺. This series is brilliantly plotted and written. The events at the end really ripped out my heart. Eli and Arabella have been through way too much. It will be interesting to see how these authors will rip us to shreds in book 4. Here we go …

emotional read
All I have to say is why? Why on earth would you kill off Kellan?! 😭😩😫😖😭😭😭😭 I wanted to see him get his happy ever after with Miles, and maybe another threesome with Ari and Eli

Nope. I am three books in and I am not OK. This series is brilliant. It is dark and angsty and the bully aspect is insane. I thought I had read mean and crazy intense bully romance before but this has so many twists and layers. L.Ann and Claire Marta have created very engaging and likeable characters (violence and intensity aside). I am so invested in where this story is going and what is to come next after the trials of Churchill Bradley Academy. These characters are tied together by the events that occur and my heart cannot take the emotion of it all. I feel intense therapy will be needed (for me and the characters).
I honestly cannot say much plot wise without giving things away. I'll just say the slow start of book 1 is a long way away with the intense narrative and continual action of book 3. The series starts as a slow burn. But boy is it worth reading, as each book is just that little bit more crazy.
If you love a good school based bully romance, this is one of the best series I have read. I am seriously addicted and feel kinda sad there is only 1 book to go.

Burnt Shiitake Mushrooms!!
This was a hard one to swallow at times :(
Grab those tissues and a pillow or teddy - for comfort and to squeeze when things get frustrating
And NO peeking ahead!
This took a turn I never saw coming
Things get pretty dark and I have to admit the mastermind behind this game knew what he was doing
The consistent head games
The forced reactions
I was flipping pages
Then came the heartache

4.7 stars -- KELLAN NOOOOOOO! :((
March 10, 2023
That's a one star for ALL three books
I decided not to torture myself with the last unnecessary drama book because I had enough with the first three. For me these were books that just wrote these horrible things just for the page numbers and nothing else. It wasn't the worst series I have ever read so why the one star for the first to third?
Buckle up cause I'm fixing to tear down this street going 200 mph 😘
First ...can we have a girl that is the stupidest girl ever wrote? She's weak and I labeled her TSTFL right off the bat. I mean to actually go out at dark to answer a stupid supposed prank ,that lets face it wasn't a prank at all, to allow or do sexual things ...at dark..in public...with someone taking pictures or video..I mean my virgin self liked dark things 2 but ..ima not do that stupid girl stuff .. Just saying. Add her moms double turn into mom of year after of years of neglect was very unbelievable.
As we trudge through his unwarranted hatred of her and the things he did ,just wow. As we go on to a lot of useless scenes from the basically beat up of her then back to all the
Lovey dovey stuff only to once again get threw back into the hate and awful treatments ..it was like this through all three books .Drama just for the sake of drama .Served absolutely no real purpose but to add pages to these books .I'm not sorry to say that I don't enjoy reading chapters after chapters of hate sex and then torture .😐
Then to get to this book number three ..this was prolly the most abusive book out of them all
Spoilers
she was blackmail into doing things like spilling things on him destroying things and the worst was given him ghb, yes that was very bad and trust me she paid for it way more than anything he got from her .Then he finally finds out about blackmail after she's a shaking ,in sleeping losing weight mess and they decide ( more him and his torture buddy ) that he has to continue on to keep her safe .......
he was hurting her to keep her safe .....it went on way 2 far and for me the excuses he gave for it lost all value , then wanting to make her mad and have sex with him telling her that them behind closed doors was real but him tring to make her give him oral sex in front of school was only to keep her safe ,or pushing her into table hard enough to bruise ,or slamming her against wall leaving hand marks on her wrist or him grabbing her by hair and snatching her head back and snarling in her face or him kicking her desk out from under her ,spilling food on her .......it went on from there until he was just doing it because he had to make everyone think he hates her .He stopped talking to her and just tortured her everyday. She wasn't getting any answered from him ,no talking nothing. She was alone and confused believe that he was meaning everything he was doing .Add her getting " punished" ( tied up stripped pictures of it and got released when they didn't get a reaction they wanted from her ( the black mailers) and then he comes in class picks her up slammed her on desk and starts beating her on butt. He was the worst boyfriend or whatever they were .For me it was over long before the disinterest he showed her when he was " keeping her safe" . She is mentally abused ,physical abused and then told it was for her own good .I'm sure writers didn't mean for that message to come across but it was like a fireworks spelling it out in the sky for me .
Then when he almost choked her to death and beat someone almost to death ,out of mind cause he had conditioned himself to respond that way when anything attacked him ....nothing was done on the adults part ..nothing. Then kidnapped her so he could explain and make her understand he was protecting her and gonna stop ...forgive me ...she did and I was sickened by it.
This is 2 long and to much damage and concerns me with all the 5 star reviews where girls\ women are being abused and we call it dark romance and encourage others to read these delicious events ........
Add book five where they are not happy and add more emotional abuse and drama over 500 pgs long ??? Nope . These go on my do not read authors list with side note of encouraging girls or anyone to think this is a hard sought love and has it as romance if you just stick it out with the abuse.. All will come up roses. ..no sorry I'm not spreading that message .

I definitely have a love-hate relationship with this book! I loved the first two and even the beginning of this one but I was so disappointed by the ending!
The plot twist didn’t hit as hard as I thought, but that might be because there’s technically another book after this one. My problem is the next books takes place years after this one and is a second chance romance, meaning the two MCs broke up at some point which honestly breaks my heart because how can they be so obsessed with one another and then break up? For 10 years?
Anyways, I’ll act like there’s no fourth book and this is the ending. It’s not a cliffhanger, simply kind of dull tbh. No epilogue and obviously no HEA. I really enjoyed the writing and spice though even though Eli could be a little over dramatic sometimes. I still loved the way he groveled (which is often disregarded in other bully romances) and the what he took care of her. Kellan was also a fav 3

No one prepared me for the emotions this book would cause. I went into this series completely blind and I'm glad but I was still truly heartbroken. I spent this book trying to figure out who the real bad guy was and I was starting to think it was Kellan but really hoping I was wrong. I was definitely wrong but what occurred was so much worse.

“Everyone has an obsession. You’re mine.”
I’m just a girl, reveling in a bully romance that keeps rocking my world. The entire Churchill Bradley series is my drug and I can’t get enough hits. It’s a high I can’t stop feeling … can’t stop dreaming. Pure. Heart pounding. Addiction.
Dare to Fall is the most sinister story in this saga yet. It’s basically a demon that haunts and hates and gives and takes. And I was blissfully shooketh. Did this dark beauty keep me on the edge, dangling off an emotional cliff, the whole time reading? Yes. Did I love this tantalizing yet terrifying torture? Yes. Did this book take my breath, heart, soul, and tears? A thousand times yes.
A chilling and fire hot fusion of stepbrother, bully, and suspense, Dare to Fall explodes with smolder, sweetness and sin. Oh did I live for the boarding school and cemetery setting. With strong and crush-worthy characters, this love story captivates from beginning to end. I fell in love more with Eli and Arabella who are two halves of a whole. I broke for them and wanted —no needed—vengeance for both.
Dare to Fall was both the monster under my bed that dared me to sneak a peek, and the dark prince I wanted to savor. The twists and turns … the betrayal and bullying … the hot and cold … holy high! I’m still reeling from this deliciously dark and depraved romance that annihilated me! So haunting and heartbreakingly beautiful. Dare to Fall? That I did … I fell so fast and so hard for this love story.

I thought I was ready after reading Dare to Break and Dare to Take. I wasn't a bully dark romance virgin anymore.
I was so wrong. I should have known that L. Ann and Claire Marta never take the easy road.
During my reading I felt all Arabella's desperation and all Eli's darkness.
I cried, of course I cried. I am heartbroken and my only hope is that Dare to Live will mend my crushed soul.

So this instalment was a convoluted abuse-filled mess…
At this point Arabella must have a humiliation kink bc homegirl has ZERO self respect. In fact none of the females written in this series have any self-respect or intelligence… It’s gross.
Arabella had remained TSTL throughout.
Eli’s dick really ain’t that special. He’s just an emo man-child with anger issues and a chip on his shoulder.
The reasoning for any of the characters actions is so paper-thin weak. None of it is believable.
After checking out some spoilers about the next book, I’ve decided to not waste my time with it. I’m done with this series, the plot is just silly and overdone.
P.S. Kellan shouldn’t have gone out like that.

Nope, NOPE! I don’t forgive you gals. I’m gonna need some time.
Omg, omg, omg. I can’t believe you did that! I cried so ugly I ruined my tacos. No one wants soggy tacos.
Brilliant book, devastating, insane, but brilliant. Love the story, even when I hated it.
And the villain, not who I was thinking. Like I’m glad my suspicion was wrong, but I sure as hell don’t like how wrong I was, maybe I would have preferred it if he was the villain instead (I don’t post spoilers, come back when your done and tell me if you agree, this will make sense after!).

This book broke my entire heart and I don't think I'll ever be over what happened.
But however, I loved it. I literally read this one in a day, I could not put it down. Honestly this series has me in a chokehold, I feel every inch of Eli and Arabella's story, all their feelings and emotions in my bones.
I've only got one book left to read and although I'm exhausted (in the best way) I'm not sure I'm ready for their journey to end. Although I can't wait to see Sin and his Hellcat get their HEA because they deserve it.

This book left me in such a state of shock, it threw so many emotions at me that I don’t even know how to process them. The complete second half of the book had me terrified and devastated, and I’m still not done processing. The ugly tears that came out of me…we’re just not going to talk about that. Normally I can work out who’s behind the schemes…this one surprised me. I was right….but still way off. I’ll leave that to y’all to work out ✌🏼

This book left me in shock and disbelief. I still can't believe it. I wasn't ready for this ending. I didn’t want to believe it. I couldn’t accept it. I had a sick feeling in my stomach as I watched my heart burst into pieces. I was in shock! WHY, WHY DID THE AUTHORS DO THAT?!!! I am not okay! This series is so addicting. I can only imagine where book four will take us, but I'm about to find out!

I’m really impressed! Book 3 was good, and I didn’t mind Arabella. I honestly didn’t find her annoying or irritating.
However, my heart literally broke. Ever since book 1 Kellan was my favorite and I was so hoping to see him get his HEA- preferably with Miles. So having him unalived totally shattered me. He was the sweet, funny, protective friend that was always there for Kellan, and was the shoulder Arabella needed too. I wasn’t expecting his death, and it could’ve been any other character, but I can’t believe the authors would choose the most lovable character to off. I figured early on when Arabella started getting threats from someone other than Eli that it had to be one of the popular kids. That didn’t surprise me at all. There’s a couple things though about the story that I’m still curious about, like why Lacy requested Arabella as her roommate. And one thing that is really hard to believe is the end that school just allowed all seniors to automatically graduate a couple months early, and they decide to just shut the school down for the foreseeable future. Yeah, it might be fiction and all, but still it’s nice to keep things real too in a story. And no school is just gonna graduate an entire senior months in advance.
There’s still one more book to go and I can’t imagine what’s left to tell.

At this point I am at lost for words. Dare to Take left me broken, Dare to Fall has shattered me into pieces.
Arabella is lost, desperate and on the verge of giving up. She has begged Sin for his help and he has, it seems, abandoned her. She has no one to turn to,the unseen forces forcing her to act out their hatred for her, Eli and anyone who gets in the way has gone beyond all reason. Eli hates her and any common ground they may have found has once again been destroyed.
Can Eli and Kellan find the faceless threat and shut them down before they damage Arabella beyond saving. Can they work out who is causing this trail of destruction and why before it's too late.
This book will take you on the rollercoaster ride of your life. Every emotion you can feel will be wrung out of you and then it will come back for them all over again.
Another must read but again I will say you MUST read the previous books first, this is a series that will be ruined for you if read in the wrong order.
I can only say L Ann and Claire thankyou for giving us this series it is beyond amazing. I may never forgive you but still, congratulations, it is epic.

What can I say!!!
I have fell so far, the lies, the betrayals, the passion, the intensity, I have fallen hard for them all!!
I love Eli, Kellan is wow, and Ari is so darned strong yet so vulnerable I fear for her both mentally and emotionally!!
Everything is ramped up with this book, puzzle pieces are suddenly fitting, everything is exploding, falling and crashing but amongst the dilema's Love is really thriving, and then THE TWIST OF TWISTS and my heart was shattered!!!!
Shattered!!!
WHY WHY??
gah now I'm diving into the the book with a heart that's cracked wide open and scared for what is to come, and like the characters I'm not sure I will prevail!!

Absolutely my favorite of the series. I loved seeing Eli and Ari finally open up to one another during their stay at the cabin and felt like there was finally some growth to them individually and as a couple. It was awesome to see how they came back together. BUT
