Good Virgin Gone Bad
I was supposed to be the good girl.
But that was before I let The Crew touch me, before they decided that they owned me.
Now I’m tangled in a web of secrets and lies inside Redwood Academy—where the bad boys are obsessed, the games are dangerous, and no one plays fair.
There’s Calix, my best friend’s off-limits brother.
Frasier, the golden boy with a dangerous smile.
Arch, my cruel, possessive stepbrother.
Rush, the street racer who only speaks when I beg.
And Cairo, the nerdy billionaire with a wild side.
I was a good girl once. Now? I’m not just falling from grace. I’m dragging every one of them down with me.

Emilia Rose has delivered an absolute powerhouse with this latest installment. If you’re looking for a story with high-stakes tension and intense chemistry, Good Virgin Gone Bad is a total knockout.
It was fantastic to be back at Redwood Academy. Watching Astrid finally decide to step out of her comfort zone made for an addictive storyline. The dynamic she has with this group of men is electric, and I loved how distinct each of them felt. Emilia gives us a bit of everything in "The Crew":
The Best Friend’s Brother & The Step-Brother: Adding that extra layer of "forbidden" tension.
The Nerdy Billionaire: I loved his transformation into a commanding, dominant presence.
The Quiet Street Racer: He brought such a moody, intense energy to the group.
The Golden Boy: Don't let the smile fool you; he is dangerous in the best way possible.
Each man has a distinct, commanding personality, and the protective, possessive energy they all radiate kept me glued to the pages. The "power exchange" dynamics are handled with so much intensity, making it one of the most scorching reads in the series.
The cameos from other beloved Redwood characters were the perfect touch to round out the story. If you love a "Why Choose" romance with a lineup of protective leading men and a plot that is as engaging as it is steamy, you definitely need to pick this up.

Out of ALL of the Bad Boys of Redwood Academy series, this book I have to say might be Emilia’s SPICIEST and SMUTTIEST YET!
When it says a good virgin has gone bad, Astrid FOR SURE goes “bad”. Like straight into the deep end with ‘The Crew’ and she was in FOR A WILD RIDE. *wink* Being involved with ‘The Crew’ gets Astrid into some CHAOTIC situations and vulnerable confessions, which I will admit, were TOO CUTE! The Crew really did have one of everything when it came to the different members; Calix, Astrid’s best friend’s brother. Frasier, well known playboy. Rush, the quiet and angry one. Arch, Astrid’s stepbrother and Cairo, Astrid’s friend from class. Each of them had their own relationship with Astrid, and I really enjoyed their chemistry separately and when all of them were together. *smirk*
I’d say my favourite members out of ‘The Crew’ were ABSOLUTELY Cairo and Rush, as they both did a COMPLETE ONE-EIGHTY when they went all in with Astrid. And it was DELICIOUS! Not expecting that PLOT TWIST though, THAT had me SHOCKED. With that being said though, I loved the little cameo from Sakura, Callan (Mr. Avery) and Poison and I can’t wait to see what else is instore for Redwood in the future!

Good Virgin Gone Bad is easily one of the wildest, steamiest, and most addictive books in the Bad Boys of Redwood Academy world!!
Emilia took the “good girl meets chaos” trope and cranked it all the way up! Astrid's story is fast, unhinged, emotional, and absolutely packed with so much spice.
Astrid starts out as the shy, sheltered “good girl,” but one unforgettable night with the Crew changes everything. And honestly? With this lineup, who could blame her. Arch, Calix, Frasier, Cairo, and Rush each bring something totally different to the table. The stepbrother, the best friend’s brother, the flirt, the nerd, the racer, and Emilia gives every guy a distinct personality and dynamic that makes the harem feel full and balanced.
Beyond the heat (and there is a lot of heat 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵), the story has real stakes. There’s drama, danger, twists, and some genuinely tense moments that keep the plot moving.
I loved watching Astrid build individual relationships with each guy and slowly become the center of their world. The Crew goes from “hands off” to “she’s ours” in the most chaotic, entertaining way.
The ending delivers a satisfying HEA, and the cameos from the rest of the Redwood universe are the perfect bonus.
This is a must read series!!

4.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨
Astrid is considered a good girl at Redwood High. She gets good grades, has a few good friends, and a step-brother who's super annoying.
Asher is Astrid's step-brother he is part of The Crew a friend group who rules the hallways in Redwood High, the local racetrack, and many other things in this chaos, and drama filled world.
If you enjoy loads of spice, why choose romance, plenty of teenage and young adult drama, suspense, danger, and friends who share even when they don't necessarily want to, this one is definitely for you.
There is a book boyfriend for everyone here, Asher the step-brother is angry and closed off but he's also loyal and protective. Then Calix the best friend's brother, Astrid has had a crush on him for a long time. Frasier the playboy who's just looking for someone to really see him. Cairo the brains, he's smart, friendly and a little shy in public but when you're alone watch out. Last but not least Rush our speed racer he's the silent but deadly one and under that gruff exterior is a marshmallow.
Take your pick and enjoy the read.
I will say I could have done with a little less descriptive spice and more of the danger and action but that's just me.

Review of advance copy received from Author
More than any other Emilia Rose book I've read, Good Virgin Gone Bad is a fast, fun, and incredible ride that reads like a teenage wet dream--it's so freaking steamy and unhinged! In fact, it starts with an unforgettable bang (IYKYK), and it only gets better from there.
Adorably naive high schooler Astrid and her five favorite sexy boys, broody bad boy Arch (who also happens to be her stepbrother), caring intellect with a secret Cairo, forbidden best friend's brother Calix, charming flirt with a heart Frasier, and mysterious daredevil Rush, sure find themselves in a lot of drama, intrigue, and thrilling situations throughout the story, which is not only steamy but also emotional, funny, and at times scary and violent.
I love how all the characters are distinct with their different personalities and voices, which can be difficult in a book like this one. I also love the suspense and twists and turns that Emilia included at the end, which keep the book engaging to the last page.
I'm so glad Astrid and her boys get an amazing HEA, and I look forward to reading the next exciting addition to the Bad Boys of Redwood Academy.

Emilia Rose's Good Virgin Gone Bad is a highly recommended, unforgettable, steamy, and fast-paced young adult reverse-harem romance. This "why choose" story is packed with intense teenage and young adult drama, suspense, and friends who are forced to share.
The book immediately delivers a thrilling ride of drama, danger, and "spice," starting with an explosive opening. It follows Astrid, a seemingly perfect "good girl" at Redwood High, whose life is upended by her stepbrother, Asher. Asher is part of "The Crew," a group of five boys—Asher, Calix, Rush, Frasier, and Cario—who dominate the school and local scene. Naive Astrid finds herself drawn into thrilling, intriguing, and sometimes violent situations alongside her five sexy love interests.
A difficult feat for a reverse harem, the author masterfully gives each of the five love interests a distinct personality. The narrative is both genuinely funny and emotional. The suspense, twists, and turns, especially in the ending, kept the book engaging until the very last page, culminating in an amazing HEA (Happily Ever After). I eagerly anticipate the next instalment in the Bad Boys of Redwood Academy series.

I've read several books by Emilia Rose, and this one is definitely another great read. What kept me hooked wasn't just the romance, it was how invested I became in the characters. I found myself looking forward to every interaction and wanting more time with each member of The Crew.
The pacing was excellent, and I flew through the book much faster than I expected because something was always happening. Just when I thought I knew where the story was going, another twist would appear and keep me guessing. I also appreciated that Astrid wasn't a perfect heroine. She felt young, flawed, and relatable, which made her journey even more engaging.
The chemistry is definitely there, but what surprised me most was the emotional side of the story. There were several moments that made me smile, and others that genuinely tugged at my heart.
If you're looking for a reverse harem romance with memorable characters, plenty of drama, and a story that keeps you turning the pages, this is absolutely worth picking up. I'll definitely be rereading this one.

Oh wow, so much steaminess! Just about every other chapter is full of it (totally not complaining)…and those boys fell hard!
But if you like SMUT with a few sides of SMUT…definitely read! Emilia Rose doesn’t disappoint. Deliciously written.
There is plot with it, Astrid gets drunk at a party and loses her virginity to Calix in the middle of the party. Only to wake up the next day for things to be hazy, but then the rest of The Crew take an interest in her and take her wherever and whenever they can. She catches feelings for them and the 5 guys fall hard in return. And all of them different.
But through it all, she’s lying to her best friend as Calix is her brother and she doesn’t want to lose her friend or Calix. But then it all comes out and puts Astrid in danger when she’s kidnapped. Which sets all the guys in motion to find her, and results in death, fractured friendships and declarations of love.

If you are looking for a really spicy, full of emotion, and makes you fall in love with all the characters RH... look no further! I loved this book from beginning to end. We meet our girl Astrid who we find out by the title is our "good girl", but that doesn't last long, and who could blame her?! When she finds herself letting loose at a party she had a little too much fun and the "good girl" title disappears like a magic act thanks to our super hot guys in the Crew. I won't spoil how it goes down because it's too good to ruin for you. When I tell you that you have 5 different crazy hot guys to swoon over... it's Heaven. You have the BFF's brother, the playboy, the sweet shy guy, the stepbrother, and finally the "meaner" one. This book takes you on a ride on how our girl brings each guy into her harem and it's far from easy. There is always someone or something trying to keep them apart, and things aren't always what they seem. Your heart could break, but I promise it will be put back together so our crew will have a HEA! Enjoy the ride because you won't regret it.

Wow Emilia Rose's stories never disappoint and this one was definitely well worth the wait.
I think this is definitely the smuttiest of all the Bad Boys of Redwood Academy Series I have had the pleasure to read so far.
Astrid was a good girl and a virgin but then she got tangled up (quite literally) with the "Crew", and they quickly changed all that.
Calix is Astrid's best friend's off-limits brother
Rush is the quiet, angry street racer
Fraiser is the playboy with a dangerous smile
Cairo and Astrid are classroom friends
And then there is Arch, Astrid's cruel, possessive step-brother.
Astrid had individual relationships with each of these hot guys but when they all decide she is theirs things quickly heat up.
This is full of drama with some scary and violent scenes and a lot of thrilling situations, it is a very hot and steamy read but it also has a brilliant humour too, there is loads to keep you hooked from start to finish.

Well this story is very steamy and exciting. With the 5 Bad Boys of The Crew from Redwood Academy Series and our precious FMC Astrid. Boy oh boy once they all get started it's like none of them can get enough of Astrid and she for sure can't get enough of them either. When she goes bad she totally gets down and dirty.
The twists are crazy and the connections between them all is off the charts.
It's like a teenage girl gone wild with 5 sexy hot men who all have completely different personalities and eyes for only her. Of course they play games it's chaotic and crazy fun. I was cracking up at their little shenanigans.
If you like steamy smut with a storyline then read this book. This story is loaded with drama along with suspense and danger lots of humor and steam that will keep you turning the pages
You all are going to love this wonderful story. I highly recommend this book.
Emilia does not disappoint.

A spicy tale set in a high school unlike any that I ever attended. Astrid goes to a party one night and goes from being a virgin to having a reverse harem within a few hours. I love that the story is told from multiple POV's and that each of the guys have their own personalities and that behind closed doors they don't match their public personas. The drama is typical high school for a lot of it, but there are some more mature themes as well. I feel like perhaps this should have been set in the college years just to keep it from having that small ick factor of high school, but I guess if they are all consenting then no harm done. This is a wild and crazy world that Emilia has created and I keep coming back for more, just like Astrid does with her men.

This book will have you sweating as you read. Astrid and The Crew are everything the other needed. Astrid was the timid shy virgin who dreamed and pined after the members of The Crew from the shadows. That is until a party changed everything for her. This book was fast paced from the first page. Out of all the Redwood series this is my new favorite. The Crew had everything Astrid needed. Arch her step brother and the always angry one, Calix her best friends brother and the one to start it all, Frazier the serious one, Cairo the dominant always in control nerd and finally Rush the quite speed demon who lurks form the shadows. They all give her what she needs in their own way. This girl was supposed to be the one they didn’t touch but she quickly became the one they couldn’t be without!

Fast paced with ALL the spice - and I’m here for it!!!
Astrid and her guys.. what can you say?! So many dynamics in the group. You have the Stepbrother, the best friend’s brother, the play boy, the silent racer and the quiet nerd. There’s a little bit of everything for everyone! I kid you not! 🤓
I devoured this book in a day.. sorry, not sorry to my social life. 🤷🏼♀️ When I tell you this book was SPICY, I mean it! The book has 97 chapters and the spice was in 95 of them - definitely not sorry for that either. There is a plot to the book, and you have appearances from previous books - hello Poison! But you don’t have to read the others to understand this one.
If you like your books spicy with a side of a plot, look no further and Enjoy!!

The Crew & Astrid
One drunken night with her best friend's brother puts Astrid into The Crew's orbit and they want all of her. Arch, Calix, Frasier, Cairo, and Rush all have different personalities that mesh well together and they fit perfectly with Astrid in ways that she had yet to discover. This was absolutely spicy and suspenseful. Emilia Rose just upped the stakes with Good Virgin Gone Bad, and it was fantastic. I oved that there is both plot and smut. It definitely makes for an excellent read that I could not put down.

5 out of 5 star read for me. I loved the reverse harem storyline and how each member of The Crew brought something different to the relationship. Cairo and Calix were definitely my favorites, but every one of the guys was amazing and perfect for her in their own way.
The drama at Redwood Academy always has me completely hooked. The chemistry, suspense, and emotional connections made this impossible to put down. If you love reverse harem romances with plenty of drama, mystery, unforgettable characters, and of course 10/10 smut, this book is a must read!!

Why choose and the spiciest book? Emilia did it again.
This book pulled me in right from the start—I was instantly hooked. We have Astrid and her crew (Cairo, Frasier, Arch, Rush, and Claix), and just when I thought I had everything figured out, the plot twists completely blindsided me.
The chemistry between Astrid and her crew is intense and unforgettable. This story delivers the perfect mix of gripping plot and seriously spicy moments.

I have been wanting to read this as soon as Emilia announced she was making this one shot into a book. I'm pretty sure I screamed in happiness lol. Once I started reading, I was unable to put it down. These characters exploded off the pages. This is a 6 ⭐ read for me. Emilia is one of my favorite authors to read. No matter the genre she writes in, I'm reading it. Highly recommend this one and this entire series.

Well that was quite the ride! I wasn’t too sure how much I liked Astrid in the beginning but she definitely grew into a character that I loved. Each of the guys have their own little quirks which make them stand out as individuals. But when they come together…watch out! The spicy level here is off the charts and there are some LOL moments that make the story well balanced. And the twist that comes will definitely leave you shocked! I can’t wait to see what comes next.
April 8, 2026
Astrid's story is fast, unhinged, emotional, and absolutely packed with so much spice and drama, danger, twists, and some genuinely tense moments that keep the plot moving in a nice way.
I loved watching Astrid build individual relationships with each guy and slowly become the center of their world. The Crew goes from “hands off” to “she’s ours” in the most possessive kind of way.

Good Virgin Gone Bad by Emilia Rose is the story of Astrid, Asher, Cairo, and Calix. This is a spicy, forbidden romance, why choose story that will definitely whet your appetite. She attends an unforgettable party. Her life changes there…and the guys become a major part of that change. Fast read! Great characters!

SPICY SPICY SPICY 😩😩😩
I'm not sure i have enough words to begin to explain or describe how good this book is. From day one of Redwood, when we first met the community, to now... Emilia just continues to raise the bar 😩 Filthy mouthed bad boys who would most actually commit for the girl they love to hate and hate to love? What more could a girl ever want or need?

This is a great story with so many wonderful tropes including : forbidden romance, why choose, stepbrother, best friend’s brother and so many more. The spice in this story is right up my alley. It was chef’s kiss. I loved Astrid’s character and her dynamic with each of the men. She used to be a “good girl” but now she’s a smexy baddie. If you love dark academia romance then check it out.

If you love a story where the FMC is in charge and gets to own her own sexuality this is for you. Each of the co MMC brings their own brand of kink and sexiness to this story. As usual Emilia Rose brings it to the table and sets it down hard!

Like I said, corn on the cob. There literally wasn’t a good (besides the smut) part until the last few pages. Don’t get me wrong, the rest of ravenhood was spicy but they had allot going on. I was engaged but yeah. Hoping the last book is at Least a 4 star lol

Emilia does not disappoint. These boys are intense but I did not expect them to turn into Poison Jr. IYKYK. The twist with the "best friends" is crazy and you have to wonder what's going to happen with them in the future. Keep Redwood Academy going.

The only thing that would have made this better was if it was at least MMFMMM.
