Bastards of Bainbridge Hall

Bastards of Bainbridge Hall #1-3

by Leila James

Nothing they’ll do can hurt me. I’m already broken.

When my stepfather dumps me off at Bainbridge Hall, I can tell I’m in trouble. At the mercy of the brotherhood, I’m forced by my mother’s husband to follow their every command.

I should run. Far, far away.

From the moment I arrive, these bastards test me. Every time they push, another piece of my past trauma is exposed. But I’m stronger than they think I am, and I’ve learned the hard way the only person I can count on is me.

One brooding artist. One football god. And one hate-fueled stepbrother.

Mason.
Bear.
Duke.

The plan is simple. Keep my head down and focus on getting the college degree I so desperately want. But this house is not what it seems, and every door I open reveals a memory I had buried deep, things I had willed myself to forget.

Bainbridge Hall. Where the bastards are beautiful, and my nightmares become reality.

phew some hard dark topics

Bear is my favorite BB then Mason — needed more Duke early on I think for me to have gotten more attached.

The OGs. Someone needed to disappear them long long ago. Legal justice is good and all but… Derek and Tristan. Nooooope. Hooman pin cushions.

Always interesting story lines from Leila James, love the intersection of the storylines and groups. I really wanted to slap some sense into Lennon after the auction. We never find out why she wants to avoid doctors and I talked wanted her to get a kit done — both in the past and present. 😮‍💨 Poor Juliette and Mason.
