Trailer Park Psychos #1
Trailer Park Princess
She made a promise they won’t let her forget.
Four years ago, Ellie Riggs left her best friends behind for a mansion and a supposed life of privilege as a politician’s daughter.
Now, she needs someone dead and they’re the monsters who can make it happen.
But that help comes at a price.
These four masked psychos aren’t the damaged boys Ellie grew up with in the trailer park. But they haven’t forgotten the blood oath their “Princess” made years ago.
Kade. The pyromaniac with a vendetta and the scars to prove it.
Tank. The silent giant whose damaged face hides an even more damaged heart.
Cyrus. The calculating genius who sees through every lie she's ever told.
Jinx. The golden boy with a dark and hidden obsession.
But they don’t want her money. They want her submission. Her body. Her soul.

Loved the dynamic between the boys and Ellie but what in the actual cliffhanger was that?! 😫

Not recommended
I had been eagerly anticipating this book for months, but unfortunately it fell far short of my expectations. I enjoy a good reverse harem, but I prefer stories where there’s no MM dynamic and the primary focus stays on the FMC. It is extremely frustrating when the author does not list mm in the description.
The characters also felt underdeveloped, with several of the MMCs coming across as flat or even outright unlikeable. Their personalities never felt fully fleshed out, which made it difficult to connect with the relationships or become invested in the story.
The book started out interesting, however later on became very hard to finish and was boring. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend.

3 letters. OMG.
I am livid that I have to wait 2 months for the second book to come out!
Something about this story had me in a deathgrip!
Some parts could have flowed better. There could be a more in-depth plot, but regardless, I love this storyline! I can't even decide which guy I like better. They're all so great in their own way!
I SO wish the author would find a way to do prints of this book. I was only 20% in and looking to buy a physical copy. If you see this, PLEASE make a physical version that we can buy! 🙏

4 ⭐️ this was actually a really good dark why choose romance. I loved the friends to strangers to borderline hate plot line. I also really loved the romance aspect of it like they all are so mad at her but still love/care for her. Plus the actual plot of why she needs their help is so intriguing to me, i just wish we got a little bit more of some clues as to what happened. But, I will definitely be reading book 2 when it drops! I liked this!

Review for both books in this duet. This is a dark RH duet, "childhood friends to enemies to lovers," with MM between 2 of the 4 guys. It has some of the vibes of the Havoc series by CM Stunich (but less long winded, and fewer inner monologues). If you liked Havoc, you'd probably like it. To me, it was mid, but it did scratch the itch for these tropes.
The heroine grew up in a trailer park with the 4 heroes. I don't mind a flashback, but sometimes they interrupt the momentum. This story is smart and has no flashbacks -- instead, the first few chapters cover their childhoods / teen years, before there's a time jump. When she's 17, the heroine's mom marries a terrible rich guy, and she moves away from the guys. They lose touch, as she supposedly writes the guys a letter telling them she's moving on to bigger and better things. So, they hate her, now. They reunite when she's 20 - the guys are now vigilante crime lords, and you hire them if you want to take someone out (similar to the guys in Havoc). She wants them to take out her evil stepfather. The guys promise to do it if she stays with them for a year, wears a dog collar, and becomes their "pet" / prisoner.
This was just okay. It hits the spot if you want this type of story. The 4 guys are fairly likable. I love the "childhood friends to enemies to lovers" trope. The angst could have been better, but it's there, and it's adequate. But for a series that's calling the guys "Psychos," its pretty tame. The set-up makes you think they're gonna do some Royals of Forsyth style stuff to her. But after putting her in the dog collar, the "meanest" guy hardly does anything. The guys are fairly sweet and soft.
I don't mind that, I find it tedious when dark romance makes the guys TOO horrible. But, it felt like this story set up a lot of stuff it never followed through on. For example, Kade (the leader guy) puts her in a dog collar. So it makes you be like, "oh shit, what's he gonna do to her?" Well...nothing, really. He spends most of the story avoiding her, and brooding on the sidelines. By the end, we're even told they re-negotiated their relationship with a new collar (since she was into it). But she and Kade really only have 2 spice scenes, and they're both vanilla. I don't need dog collar antics, it's fine for the story to not have it. But it's weird for the story to set it up, and then go nowhere with it. It's weird for the story to tell us their relationship has power play dynamics and kink, but not show it.
This should have been a 3 guy RH, not 4 - it felt like this author lost interest in Kade halfway through the story, and didn't know what to do with him. The heroine also favors 1 guy over the others (Tank). So, the RH dynamic feels uneven. The heroine is also on drugs, and like half the second book is her having withdrawal symptoms. I don't mind spending a chapter on that, but this story must have spent at least 5 chapters on it.
So, this is mid, but not bad. If you're in the mood for a story with Havoc by CM Stunich vibes - only less ridiculously OTT, and less long winded -- it does hit the spot.

Slightly disappointed in this book? It’s so obvious that the letter wasn’t from her. That she tried her hardest to get back to them. And they are all aware of her struggled and how miserable she is so how is it to so hard to put two and two together?
I love tank but literally he is just Wraith? I’m not sure which book came out first but basically a copy and paste.
Will probs read the second just to see how it all plays out but nothing really happened and I hate Kade (didn’t actually like him in the first half tho).

Wow. This book had me hooked from the first page. I was brought right into Ellie’s world and connected with her right away. The story was great, and writing superb - I just wanted a little more. I was drawn in and it was definitely a page turner, but I needed a little more insight into what was going through the characters minds. Some parts seemed a little rushed, missing a few pieces - but overall, a very enjoyable story - if your idea of enjoyable is a little dark 😆 (as mine is!). I was a little upset at the end, but am now eager to read Trailer Park Psychos. Thank you Nikki Lark for leaving me lingering with extreme anticipation for your next book! I cannot wait!

First book by Nikki Lark. Won’t be the last. ‘Trailer Park Princess’ is easily in my ‘Recommend to Read’ list this year.
Ellie and her incredibly dark, dangerous, confused, sinfully sexy kings, light these pages on fire with the buildup to their sexy times. ‘Trailer Park Princess’’ main male characters are well-fleshed, complex characters that are strong, masculine, and deadly, who’s collective hearts’ purpose is to love and care for their Ellie. Nikki Lark has masterfully interwoven longing, hurt, love, jealousy, acceptance, angst, insecurity, possessiveness, and absolute love to create the this unputdownable novel. Book two promises to be quite … entertaining.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Trailer Park Princess — Three Best Friends, One Girl, and a Twisted Underground Empire
Who wouldn’t want their three best friends completely obsessed with them—especially when each one comes with his own twisted fantasies?
Ellie grew up in a trailer park with three boys who were her best friends, her protectors, and basically her entire world. She loved every minute of growing up with them, but when life forces her to leave, everything changes.
By the time Ellie comes back into their lives, those trailer park boys are definitely not boys anymore. They’ve built an empire—and beneath it, an even darker underground empire of their own.
Now Ellie needs their help.
And they’re willing to give it to her… but nothing comes without a price.
I LOVED this book. The history between Ellie and the guys made their connection so much better because this isn’t just instant attraction—there are years of friendship, loyalty, abandonment, obsession, and unfinished feelings underneath everything. And the fact that all three men have completely different personalities, desires, and twisted sides? YES PLEASE.
Dark, possessive, deliciously messed up, and exactly the kind of “why choose when you can have all three?” romance I’m here for.
If you like childhood friends-to-lovers, why choose, possessive men, dark romance, underground empires, morally questionable behavior, and men who never really got over their girl, put Trailer Park Princess on your TBR.

I thought this was going to be another one of my RH books that my book club gratuitously pretends to ignore while silently judging me… which are my absolute favorite to read, but holy hell, it was not, and it was even better. Let me just hand over my heart to Nikki Lark because no one has any business making me feel this much while I’m salivating over four men who have absolutely nothing in life but the drive to earn a smile from one little trailer park princess. 🥹

4.6 stars.
I was a little skeptical going in, but I had a really good time reading this one.

When Ellie was eight, she and her mom moved to the trailer park. After being bullied by the local kids, a strong and silent giant rescues her and she's reluctantly included in their friend group. Over the years they've become the best of friends but at seventeen, she's ripped away from them to live with her mom's new husband, a senator. She promised to keep in touch, but it's been four years without a word. Four years of them silently stalking her, missing her, thinking she abandoned them for her new rich life. But they don't know the true nightmare she's endured behind those glamorous walls. She's looking for a miracle, a way out of the nightmare, and a vigilante group she's heard about seems the answer. She never expected them to be her boys or that the damaged boys she knew have become hardened and angry. They don't want her money, they want to own her and never let her go again.
This majority of this book is of them growing up in the trailer park and how close they became as a group. Such different personalities and heartbreaking childhoods but their friendship is their safe place. Kade, the leader with his scheming; Cyrus, genius hacker and tech wizard; Jinx, softhearted, emotional, and secretly crushing on his best friend; and finally Tank, the scarred and silent giant who everyone else sees as a monster, but Ellie sees his true heart. I can't wait to see what happens next when the boys found out the truth about those four years! This is the first book in the duo and now I have to wait until August to find out what happens!!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. The views and opinions expressed in this review are completely my own

March 7, 2026I really wish that authors would list the relationship dynamic(s) in front of the book--especially in RH and Why Choose reads.
Oh my gosh, why would you want that???
Because, I like what I like and I don't like what I don't like, and I do not like mm in my RH books--an occasional helping hand? I can deal. A full on side romance? nope. feels like cheating, and I'm out.
Also, I do not like books that depict "trailer parks" as trashy, because I feel like it's a gross generalization that is as harmful as other negative stereotypes, but since that is a quirky personal opinion, I put that aside and picked this one up anyways. I will say, I had a vague suspicion about this one being maybe mmfmm by the description, but I didn't see anything to really specify that, so I went ahead and started it. Sigh...I should have just listened to myself when I was apprehensive about the whole "Trailer Park" stigma. It's pretty clear by about 25% in that there will be MM, so with that and the whole "trailer parks and people living in trailer parks are trashy" thing, this became a DNF for me.
On a positive note, I can say that the first 25% was pretty interesting, and the storyline was moving along at a nice pace. So, I understand why people like this book. Unfortunately, it's just not for me.

Just wrong timing for me
Maybe this rating is not fair and it was just the wrong time to read this book.
The start of the book was so good and sweet giving me a great back story of Ellie and the guys but then the second half just seemed same old same old.
I must say the phrase “make me forget” after some horrific experience has been used to death it is like a staple by now. Also I would so appreciate some grovelling before the FMC cannot control the heat pooling in her belly for males that treat her like crap!

They would have burned the world for her. Now they might burn her instead.
Four years ago, Ellie vanished without a word, leaving behind Kade, Cyrus, Jinx, and Tank, the only boys who ever truly saw her. They were broken then. Now they’re dangerous. The Kings of Ruin built a name on control and vengeance, but they never forgot the girl who disappeared. When Ellie returns needing help, she doesn’t get hired guns. She gets the four men she left behind. And they don’t want her money. They want her.
Kade is fire and fury. Cyrus controls the shadows. Jinx hides hurt behind chaos. Tank watches in silence. Each man loved her once. None of them forgot what she did. Signing the contract ties her to them completely. It’s not just protection. It’s punishment, obsession, and something neither side expected.
Ellie isn’t the girl they remember. She’s stronger now. What starts as control becomes something tangled. They want to own her. She just wants to survive them. Somewhere in the wreckage, love still waits, bruised but unbreakable.
These men aren’t just dangerous. They’re broken in different ways. Ellie has changed too. Kade masks pain with power. Cyrus learns how to feel. Jinx stops pretending. Tank proves love doesn’t need words. Together, they remake what love looks like.
Their bond begins with betrayal and control, but shifts into raw emotion and twisted intimacy. Each man connects to her differently, some tender, some brutal. Through power, trust, and survival, they find something worth holding onto.
A dark, steamy reverse harem with MMF tension, enemies to lovers, second chance, and found family. It explores trauma, guilt, loyalty, identity, revenge, and power. It’s about how betrayal reshapes love, how control blurs into care, and what it means to be wanted completely and without apology. Ends on a cliffhanger.
The Elevator Pitch: A gritty reverse harem romance where a vanished woman returns to the four dangerous men she once loved, and left. Bound by obsession, trauma, and unfinished loyalty, their reunion ignites a brutal collision of power, control, and desire. It’s tense, emotional, and unapologetically dark, with characters who burn as much as they bleed.

Plot: 4/5 - Smut: 2.5/5 ————> Ellie moves into the trailer park when she’s young and friends four guys - Tank, Kade, Cyrus and Jinx. They grow up together. They’re constantly at each other’s side. Always together. That is until Ellie’s mother becomes engaged to the senator and they have to move away.
She’s cut off from the only family she’s known - the four guys, her best friends. Four years goes by. She’s abused by her step father and reaches out to a group of vigilantes. Irony strikes. These vigilantes? The four guys she grew up with. And this time? they’re not letting her go. In order to fulfill her request of killing her step father she has to become theirs for one whole year. Everything and anything they ask. EVERYTHING.
She moves out of her dorm and into the house with them. She has her room painted just as if she had dreamed it herself. They all want her. They all can’t resist her. They never forgot about her. And she never forgot about them.
I’m pissed off with how this just abruptly ended. It was like over? No cliffy, no suspense. Just like poof. Ends. So that’s a little frustrating. Especially with only one book being out. 🤷🏻♀️

Enjoyable second chance romance
I loved where this was going in the beginning, but didn't love that Ellie was stripped of her friends by an outside force and then put through he ll. I feel like Tank is the only one who knows it wasn't by choice and Cyrus and Jinx seem to be more understanding, but Kade wants to break her.
Ellie hasn't felt safe without them in years. They've turned into something she should fear, but feels safe with them. I was expecting more of a cliffhanger than it just ending the way it did. I'm excited to read the next one!

A why choose, friends to Lovers story that was an enjoyable read. I really enjoyed that the characters and storyline kept me engaged throughout the book.
However, there was a few holes in the story and it felt a bit rushed, and the cliff hanger… yeah! Now I need to wait for book two to find out what happens!!
Would recommend to anyone who loves friends to Lovers, why choose dark romance

The cliffhanger?!!! No!!!! It’s going to eat me alive until book 2 comes out in March. This was an ARC from book sirens and it didn’t disappoint at allll. There was some repetitiveness but I loved these characters so much I can look past it. Need justice for Ellies mom right NOW!

Thank you to all the freaks on TikTok for all the dark romance recs.
This was decent! Page turner for sure. Although I do feel like I read this on Wattpad a decade ago when the app used to be fun

ehh. The writing wasn't the best and the relationships weren't compelling. The reason they fell apart wasn't convincing in the least. I don't personally like MM in RH but that's not my reason for abandoning this book as I've literally read hundreds of books at this point containing it. Also, one of the MMCs dresses up as the FMC while engaging in relations with another MMC and it was so off putting to me. I think I'm just sick of the FMC not feeling like the center in RH and MM is getting hard to avoid. It's getting to the point where it feels suffocating to me and ruins a lot of great stories.

Ellie made a promise they won’t let her forget.
Four years ago, Ellie Riggs left her best friends behind for a mansion and a supposed life of privilege as a politician’s daughter.
Now, she needs someone dead and they’re the monsters who can make it happen.
But that help comes at a price.
These four masked psychos aren’t the damaged boys Ellie grew up with in the trailer park. But they haven’t forgotten the blood oath their “Princess” made years ago.
Kade. The pyromaniac with a vendetta and the scars to prove it.
Tank. The silent giant whose damaged face hides an even more damaged heart.
Cyrus. The calculating genius who sees through every lie she's ever told.
Jinx. The golden boy with a dark and hidden obsession.
But they don’t want her money. They want her submission. Her body. Her soul.

Trailer Park Princess is the 1st book in the Trailer Park Psychos Series by Nikki Lark.
Kade, Cyrus, Jinx, and Tank would have burned the entire would down for Ellie. But now, they might just burn her instead.
Kade, Cyrus, Jinx, and Tank were the only ones who ever truly saw Ellie but four years ago, she up and vanished without a word of where she was going or why. This completely and totally broke all four of them, more than this though, it changed them, now they are dangerous.
They are now known as The Kings of Ruin, they built their name on control and vengeance. But, through it all they never forgot Ellie, the one girl who just up and disappeared on them without a word.
The suddenly one day out of the blue, Ellie returned, walked back into their lives asking for their help. But she doesn’t get the hired guns she’d been hoping for. Ellie finds that she gets the four men that she left behind four years ago. And all four of them make it clear that they don’t want one penny of her money, they want her.
Kade is still the pyromaniac full of fire and fury who has a vendetta to prove and he has all the scars to prove that he’s been through hell and back.
Cyrus is this calculating genius who manages to control all the shadows around him and at the same time he can see through each and every lie Ellie tries to tell him or has ever told them all.
Jinx is the one who manages to hide all his hurt behind the chaos the swirls around him. He’s always been the golden boy who has this dark and hidden obsession.
Tank watches everything around him in complete silence, taking in every word. He’s the silent giant with his damaged face that hides his even more damaged heart.
Kade, Cyrus, Jinx, and Tank all loved Ellie at one time. But, none of them could ever forget what she did and they couldn’t risk her hurting them again. Having her sign their contract ties her to them completely, once and for all. And they know it’s not just for her protection. It’s for her punishment, their obsession, and yet, there’s something else under the surface, something simmering under the surface that neither side ever expected.
All four men soon realize that Ellie isn’t the woman that they remembered from four years ago. She’s grown, she’s stronger now. What they had set out to be their control quickly becomes something different, something tangled. Kade, Cyrus, Jinx, and Tank had wanted to own her. But Ellie just wants to survive the four of them. And yet somewhere in the wreckage, love was still waiting for them, it was bruised but it refused to break.
These four men are for more than just dangerous. But they are each also broken in their own ways. And they quickly realized that Ellie has just changed far more than they ever could have thought possible. And she soon realizes something about each of the men. Kade masks his own pain with the power he clings to. Cyrus has to teach himself how to feel something, really feel anything. Jinx has decided that it’s time to stop pretending. And Tank proves that love has never needed words, it just needs actions. And the five of them together, they remake what love looks like.
Ellie, Kade, Cyrus, Jinx, and Tank form this bond that might have begun with betrayal and control. But quickly they all realize that it has been shifting into this raw emotion that has started to shift into a beautiful intimacy. What I really loved was that Kade, Cyrus, Jinx, and Tank each form a special connection and bond with Ellie that is very different. Some of the bonds are tender and sweet what others can be brutal and demanding. Through the power the men take they realize that they have to share in the power, trust, and survival with Ellie if she is truly worth holding onto and loving the way they feel she is.
This is a beautiful dark, spicy, why choose with MMF tension, enemies-to-lovers, second chance, and found family. I found that this book went deep and explored trauma, guilt, loyalty, identity, revenge, and power. I found it really interesting to see this authors take on how betrayal can reshape love, control can blur into caring, and what it means to be wanted completely without any kind of an apology.
Warning, this book does end on a cliffhanger.
If you enjoy a good why choose, found family, explorations of trauma, loyalty, identity, revenge and power then this is a great book for you to pick up and I highly recommend it.

4.25/5
I actually thoroughly enjoyed this, it was a mix of Losers x The Boys of Prescott High x Wraith from Pucking Feral. So naturally, right up my ally.
I loved reading about the characters through their younger years and the bonds that formed, I LOVE found family.
I really liked all the characters overall, though Jinx and Tank were the 2 MMCs I was most drawn to, and I'm really looking forward to the next book.
I'm glad it'll be a duet and not a longer series. It is not quite a 5/5 for me at this stage as we haven't gotten much of Cyrus yet

Meh
Meh. 2.5 and that's being generous because the first half was good. I loved them as kids being friends being the family they needed but then it got kind of ridiculous. Elle became stupid and the guys became so unlikable. The stalked her for 4 years and couldn't tell something was wrong? Just nah I can't. Doubt I'll read the next one unless Kade sets fire to himself coz damn I hate that guy.
