This is the final installment in the Bridal Creek High Trilogy. Coming in March!
Authors Note: BCH or Bridal Creek High is a young and new adult reverse harem academy highschool bully series. This is recommended for 17+ readers because of cursing and 'certain scenes'. So if you're into that kind of thing then stick around. #whychoose bully romance.
I had read the first two books, and while there were certainly quite a few issues with those, I definitely wanted to give this a shot, as it really had a lot of potential. And unfortunately I didn’t have the momentum of the first two books behind me, as I had read them a few weeks prior, so it was little rough.
The book is called resolve, but very few things actually got resolved. For as short of a series as this was, there was very little wrapping up at the end. I felt like nothing happened in this book. It almost felt as though this was Liv’s book—I know more about her than I do about Quinn after reading this last installment.
And I would not consider this to be a RH. She had a relationship with Tyson, and she slept with the others. There was one of them (Jonathan?) that I’m not sure she even had as much as a two word conversation with in this book. The other 3 were completely interchangeable, with absolutely no characterization. I think the author even considers them to be interchangeable, because at one point, one of them kissed her in the hallway, and then a few chapters later, this scene is referenced, but the guy’s name had been switched. As if it truly doesn’t matter which one it was.
I also genuinely don’t know what any of the characters are supposed to look like. Which, fair enough if you want me to use my imagination. But then at the end of the book it’s mentioned that Liv has dark hair. This should’ve been part of her description when we first met her, or mentioned again at the beginning of the book at some point to remind readers.
There was also just one really weird thing that bothered me in the beginning of the book. She kept saying “murder one.” I believe this is supposed to be first degree man slaughter? I have never in my life heard this referred to as “murder one,” as if the second one is yet to come. But this is actually one of the things that we don’t get resolution on. Did the guy get convicted? What happened with the trial? The first two books made this huge deal out of it—made the trauma of her mother’s murder one of the main plot points—and then we just skip right over Quinn’s testimony and the resolution of the case.
I just think that all of the books could use some heavy developmental editing.
DNF at 41% and that was after skipping large chunks. The inconsistencies were driving me crazy and the mix ups with characters. Like one chapter where Liv and Aunt Celine kept getting mixed up.
And the relationship between Quinn and “her” guys was driving me batty.
They are still hanging all over other girls in front of her and everyone else but then so naughty things with her only in private. That’s not a relationship. That’s just sleeping around. They keep telling her she’s theirs and then go cuddle up with other girls. And she’s a bit jealous but it’s not a huge deal to her. That’s not a real RH.
So between all the issues with all the inconsistencies, mix ups, NO character or relationship development I just couldn’t read anymore. Only a short bit left in this book that is supposed to the last in a series and they are even in an actual relationship yet. 🤦🏼♀️
Also one of my biggest pet peeves is...it’s “Shake” their head no. Not nodded their head no. 🤦🏼♀️ Nodding is yes and shaking is no.
This doesn't read like it is the finale. For one it ends ubruptly, secondly it is only assumed the murder verdict will be given and therefore no closure is given on that event, and third, the girl was almost raped and it was swept under the rug and she was over it 🤷🏼♀️
There are a lot of issues with this book. One of her friends is getting some so tries to set the rest of her friends up with his friends but doesn't warn them. When Quinn clearly feels uncomfortable they push they issue. Not cool. The guy is pushy but Quinn feels like she has to have a boyfriend to protect her from his interest. Wtf??? I'm not interested works well enough.
Quinn again is too stupid to live. She sees pushy guys friends but not him and even when he has her instincts going she still wanders off herself. This is after being attacked after going off herself in another book. 🤦🏻♀️Not saying she needs a man with her, but buddy system when you are tipsy at least. She nearly died the first time so you'd at least be cautious 🙄
Also for guys that are interested in her, they barely spend any time together. One made a joke about the others being with girls while she was away - not cool. She just seemed convienent rather than someone they cared about.
I read em all . Thought they were ok . But..... This is just dragged out way to much. The story is simple . Mom got murdered she was sliced find bad guys and got away. Lives with Aunt that married money with 2 kids already...So no incest . Add in three other dudes get harem.. Go through first book bully ...Like her .light bully. Second book truth discoveries like her . Then she become a victim again of some bad jealous girls and boy.....third book pretty much the same as second except now brother of jailed jealous girl from book 2 ...... And still hiding relationship . We throw in some eating disorder family therapy......... Get a little bit more on the murder case of mom and end book 3. Wait till book 4 . Frankly this wasn't enough to hold my interest for this long and I read them thinking book 3 was the end . Conclusion to story but nope they gonna drag a 4 star rated series out to 4 books? I will not be looking for the next one . This was getting boring and frustrating waiting for more to happen ..instead is flat.
There was no relationship development. It feels like in book one Ty and the guys hated her, for some reason. Then he heard how her Mom died and he flipped head over heels and the guys did too. I don't know the characters. I don't understand what motivates them. It was shallow. They never came to any agreement. They were still a "secret" at the end. The trial for her mom's murderer was still ongoing. There are so many inconsistencies. She played sports, she didn't play sports. She didn't want everyone calling her a slut then immediately turned around kissing two guys and thinking "I don't care what anyone thinks". There was another big one about how things were in Miami, but I can't remember right now what it was. Bottom line, I don't recommend and won't read again.
I honestly love this series and I'm kinda sad to see it end. I wish there was an epilogue just to see what they are up to after graduation. But the adventure from A to B was great. And the ending was good and the plot too as it finally came to it's conclusion. Characters if you followed along so far were well written out and there's no backtracking needed. Quinn just wants the school year to end. Everyone graduate and get on with their lives. Even though she doesn't know what she will do without the boys. But life still isn't all cupcakes and flowers in the life of a Parish. She's still getting picked on, but with her boys on her side and cousins. She really shouldn't be afraid anymore should she? Or is there more hidden around the corner?
Loved this series and all the characters! I am so hoping another books is due in the series. Quinn hasn't had it easy. She has goone from poor to living extremely wealthy with her aunt and her family isn't easy. She's had her mothers death to deal with and being the new girl in a posh private school. She has found great friends, and love but its not 1 but possibly 4 guys who have her heart. She also maybe finally be finding herself a family.
So I’m not sure if this a trilogy ? I’m not sure if this was the last book but I sure hope it’s not. I still think we need more inf about the other guys at this point there’s nothing that makes them stand out. Hopefully we get more books and learn more about the guys. Because I think that would add more to the story.
So please please can we learn more about Noah, Liam and Jonathan ? 😭
I really liked the first two books, but overall this series fell short. There was things said in the first book and changed in second. Times when the author wrote Aunt Liv instead of correct name. There was no build up in relationships, except with Tyson. The others were just there. Even though she was with four guys, it didn’t feel much like a RH. Also, the ending was to be desired.
That's the way life feels for Quinn. She has her guys, her Aunt Celine and Liv. She has to identify and testify against her mothers killer. The girl responsible for drugging and beating her gets put away. Little does she know, that opens up a whole new can of worms. It has a happy, if yet unknown, ending.
Quinn, has found it all. Especially with her boys (Tyler,Jonathan, Noah and Liam.) The drama of teenage angst and shenanigans comes to a finish. The twists and turns will keep you turning the pages as the Pierce family come together. This was a fantastic series and I highly recommend it.
Quick, easy read. One bad thing after another continues to happen to the FMC. Thankfully she gets the HEA at the end. I rated three stars due to some editing issues throughout the entire series and some story inconsistencies. These things did not ruin the series for me and I would still recommend.
I mean there was some resolve...but all my questions aren't answered. I mean what happened at the trial? What happens after they graduate?? So I'm going with unresolved for this reader. Will we get another book?? I mean I still recommend this series but I'm not satisfied with this ending. Thanks Jamie Nibarger Ellis
Love the story☺ very hot. This was only 2 books definitely not 3. "Book 3" is more like a short yawn. The intensity was just not there, becomes a little unbelievable that her panties get wet with only a kiss on the hood of a truck in the high school parking lot. ...Plot and story I rate a 4, as for resolutions there are none so I rate that a 0.
Not too sure how I feel about this one. I felt like this was lacking, there could've been more to the story. There was alot going on , but not all of it was resolved. However it was over just as quickly as it started. Inwas happy to see the family resolve their inner issues. I will have to say that the first book of the series was the best one.
Resolve is the final installment in this reverse harem series. While I have enjoyed the books in the series, the ending made me think there is more to come. (I actually was looking forward to next book when I found out this was the end.)
Quinn has less contact with the boys then most reverse harem books have. I’m happy the family as a whole got closer. Wish there had been add in to where it went with everyone moving forward
Well Quinn sure does have alot to deal with...feel free to find away to carry on this series, only took me two days to finish the series and thats because I needed sleep ..absolutely fantastic read
The story started off well then the last book ruined it 😒 simple things like mixing up character names and events and the ending was just blunt I have so many questions like what was the outcome of the trials that was still in progress? 0
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I could not finish reading the series, and the writing is so childish, cold, and clinical. The characters did not have chemistry and no growth. The storyline was not enjoyable or intriguing.
