Bully Bait

Rate this book
Offering myself as a sacrifice wasn't supposed to end like this.

Defending my best friends seemed like the right thing to do at the time.

Until it caught me in the sights of the Wolf Pack, the oh-so-gorgeous star basketball elites of Centennial High and their Alpha.

Their leader, Warwick Harris, also known as War mowed down anyone foolish enough to cross their path.

Like a sheep to the slaughter, I went willingly blind to the fact the wolf didn't plan on slaughtering but devouring me instead.

I don’t know how I feel about this one. I’m assuming this will be a serial because this was SUPER short. While some of it was promising, it’s hard to have real thoughts because hardly anything happened. As soon as the story was about to shift, it ended. We were left in the air and given the possibility of a love triangle. With the mystery plot line, I don’t think we need a love triangle.

I am interested in reading the next one to see what happens next. Hopefully we are given more than this first book.

This is exactly what the blurb said it was, it was a short Bully Romance that centered around the alpha bully 'War' and the geek girl Gemma. There was good chemistry between the main characters and i can definitely see the potential for a full story here. I wouldn't class it as erotica though, there were references to sex and hints but no sex takes place. Would love to see this expanded into a longer story because I would love to see what happens between Gemma and War and also find out what the hell is going on with Jay who is another alpha who seems to be hot for Gemma one minute and then cold the next! Really hope the author plans to finish this story. Will definitely read more from this author.

Ashlea Ryan did a great job on Bully Bait, the plot and characters were strong, the story was written well. There was a lot of emotions.
War and Gemma's journey had it's ups and downs, they had been through a lot but their feelings ran deep no matter how hard things got, they were drawn to each other.
This was a great story, I'm looking forward to reading more.
Thank you, Ashlea Ryan. Great work :)

This is the 2nd book I've read written by Ashlea Ryan; she has done a great job at writing a good short story; I can’t wait to read more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I loved the characters.

So Yummy, Hot and Delicious!

This story has all the good stuff... bullying, a hot, alpha male, a smart, strong heroine, a contest of wills and lots of surprises and action!
Loved everything from the excellent writing, mesmerizing story and the fabulous characters.
Absolutely Amazing!!!

This book is short, but I think it packs a punch. I wish it was longer would be my only complaint. I love the storyline between Gemma and War. Looking forward to the next book!

Where to start? Okay so I read the whole series in one night lol what can I say I’m a bookworm. I love the plot I thought I was a good idea for a book. I love the main characters Gemma and War. I love that Gemma is not timid and doesn’t let anyone walk over her and I love war, the fierce love and possessive protectiveness he has towards Gemma is heart melting. HE IS ALPHA MALE THROUGH AND THROUGH LOVE IT!! However I felt this book series as a whole was lacking, there a lot of unanswered questions, a lot of repetitive situations. The author kept going round and round in circles. I love a good mystery book as much and the next guys but this was getting boring real quick! I would read this again it was a waste of time! Sorry Ashlea

Only 8 freaking chapters. NOT a cliffhanger.

This story.... ugh. First it seems that the attempted angst was a complete fail. It was completely lacking. The sexual uniéndose mad this possibly an 17+ book but the writing style reminded me of a decent late elementary and early middle school style. There was no darkness what so ever. The fact that it did NOT end in a cliffhanger and on chapter 8 was a complete turn off and it didn't have me wanting to read the next book in this series. Absolutely no yearn for more.... so I won't.

Short but great read....

I really enjoyed this story, Inlove that Gemma fight back, and don't take crap from anyone. I connection between Gemma and War is strong, it melts my heart to see him defending her if someone else bothers her, like he is the only on that is allowed to bully her but won't let anyone else pick on her, it's actually sweet watching them interact with each other.... Can't wait to rea the other books in this series....

Rip off

You have to buy 10 books to get the whole story, or do you get the whole story? NO you do not. Each book has only 3 or 4 chapters and are even numbered sequenaly. This should have been 1 book not 10. So you spend $10 for 10 books that end with a cliffhanger....and then you want me to buy the next "series", I don't think so. So sad because it is a good story. But I won't fall for it again.

Unfortunately this wasn't a book that I enjoyed.
It was very short and the writing was a little immature for my liking. I would not call this a dark bully romance. It definitely had potential but wasn't executed well which was a real shame.
I am a huge high school bully romance fan and compared to others I have read, it just didn't do it for me.

Very immature

I suppose if you were 13 years old or something this book might appeal to you .But I prefer a more mature theme..it might b high school bully romance ..which I like..but I'm not 13 so I don't much care for bubble gum romance ..moving on ..wont read the rest of series

64 pages does not make a book it makes one two chapters. the concept was good but to rushed and nothing in the tiny story made me want to buy any of the other books. Seemed like a first draft sorry I hate giving bad reviews

This is a serial and I have read books 1-4 and there is my stop. It's starting to get more and more ridiculous, it feels to me like a 14 year old wattpad fan wrote this.
So a no from me!

Cliffhanger

This story ends on a cliffhanger. It's a very interesting quick read. I guess you can call it a bully romance. Rushing to read the next book of the series

I really liked this story. I’m actually excited to e-read for once. Usually I hate reading on my phone. This story and the pacing of it makes it a little easier.
