Uly
The opposite of me.
Not a chance.
Could never happen.
Ever.
And I fall for her.
I’d known her for a long time.
We weren’t friends.
We weren’t enemies.
We were just different.
That was it.
An emergency brings her into my life for good. And it changes everything I think and I know. This is the real story that goes way beyond what happened before. To make this right I have to face the past. I have to stay in the present.
And when I’m near ‘her’ …
All I can think about is the future.

Loved it. Uly was totally amazing. The twists and turns had me hooked. This emotional ride was beyond fantastic. I love how you weave everything together to get to the nitty gritty of their story. Simply astounding. Can"t wait for Hil's adventure, I feel like his story is gonna blow me away. As always I'm never disappointed.

ULY (Bay Falls High – Them Book 1) By Jaxson Kidman
Uly is my favorite of Them, the guys that keep Bay Falls High under control. This is the story of Uly and Mara. A more unlikely pairing, you would not find. He is a rich, bad boy with an attitude, who has had a terrible home life and is also a musician. She is brilliant, and the daughter of a single mother who is a housekeeper. This story has plenty of drama, twists and turns. This is another addictive read by Jaxson Kidman. This is a 5 star read.

Well hello Uly! Once again Jaxson takes us back to the world of THEM.....Uly's story. Hurt by Belle, he is reeling that she chose Ash. Where does that leave him. Angry and frustrated he lashes out at whoever is around. His mother is up to her usual tricks, and has a new Beau....Calvin, but all is not what it seems. Uly's mother has an accident and brings Mara into Uly's life....He notices Mara, properly for the first time, not looking at her as the dorky daughter of the hired help. Why hasn't he noticed her before? Too busy with THEM and chasing Belle to catch her heart. Hil and Uly get together to play guitar and sing new music, it's all about now and Mara, He doesn't understand these new feelings, he thought he knew what love felt like...That is what he felt for Belle, wasn't it? ....All is great until a dark secret is revealed. Still dishing out punishments as THEM, he still has to deal with the hurt from Belle's rejection and can't explain his new feeling for the new girl "Mara". A great story with the usual twists, turns and hidden secrets that Jaxson is so well known to write. 5 stars once again...well worth the read

Still reeling from Belle's choice, it's business as usual for Uly. Them is pretty much still in existence, not because they love each other, but because Them is needed. They still have their disagreements but that's life, well at BFH it is. There's a new adversary trying to move into their territory. No, not the Rulz or even Wes and his guys, this guy is dangerous for other reasons. Right now Uly needs a distraction, that's where Mara comes in. Mara's mother Paula works for Uly's mom. Uly and Mara are passing acquaintances, until they become more. It's a convenience thing, nothing more. Well, that's how it started anyway. Uly and Mara are from two different worlds. While it may not matter to Uly, it does matter to some. But when has Uly ever cared about what other's think? Although they rarely see eye to eye, Ash and Hil will always have his back, no matter what.

Ulysses aka ULY aka 1/3 of THEM.
Where do I begin, it’s his turn to tell his story. From the get go you are sucked into his life, world, everything that is all Ulysses. You get to see a side of him that you never would have expected to see or know existed (if you read Belle’s stories, then you will understand what I mean) when it comes to Uly. Behind that bad boy persona there is so much more to him than meets the eye. Remember the saying “never judge a book by its cover” well that is something I did when it came to Uly. But this story, his story changed my perspective about his character. The raw intensity of emotions and feelings you are exposed keeps you hanging on and wanting more like hungry.
I will admit I never expected to get sucked in like this to his story, but then again it is Jaxson Kidman’s work. So I shouldn’t be surprised.
I will admit he was my least favourite of THEM (no hate), but after reading this he definitely found a place in my heart. Even more so than some of Rulz 😉
Unfortunately, I can’t say much more without spoiling it. But I will say if you loved Uly or even Belle’s stories or even any of Jaxson Kidman’s work. Then this is one book you definitely don’t want to miss out on.

OMFG these books keep getting better and better. I live how we get to learn about this people and it creates this story in my head as if it's playing out in real life. This book is the first of three that we get to know more about each of these guys and damn it we fall in love a lot kore. I'll say it again....Jaxson Kidman is one of my all time favorite authors and I hope that he keeps this going for as long as possible because he has a true fan in me. With each story I can't help but cry because I know that in some way it's about him or something he had to deal with. I congratulate you on another fantastic book. I give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader's Copy.

Finding my girl
I was so glad that Uly’s book came out first as I fell in love with him from Belles books. I was hoping Belle was going to choose Uly to be her boyfriend, but Mr Kidman had other ideas and who am I to argue with an amazing author, lol.
I was Heartbroken when Belle did not choose him and Uly seemed that way to that is until he sees Mara a girl he knows but doesn’t know in a different way. He soon realises that Belle was the rebound from Penelope, and Mara is the one for him. Uly has not had an easy life and he resents his life especially his mother. Uly, Ash an Hil are Them and rule BFH nothing and no one stands in there way. What an amazing book and not to be missed, it’s 5***** from me

Love, love Uly!!!
Color me surprised when I saw who Uly ended up with and their journey kept me glued to my Kindle and every interruption irritated me because I couldn't wait to see what would happen next! Between the drama with his mother, the usual situations with Them and the twist to the whole story. I absolutely loved it and right now love Uly and I think you all will too. Jaxson is the Supreme Master of words and he always leaves you wanting for more and I can't wait for Hil and then Ash!! I highly recommend this book and if you haven't read anything else yet by Jaxson go start with #hch and then #bfh and buckle up its a hell of a ride!!

ULY Bay Falls High- Them Book 1 MrTough Guy
Just when I thought his books couldn't possibly get any better he blows my mind . With each new book Jaxson Kidman continues to add twists and turns and keep you on the edge of your seat. Once you start reading you can't put it down. ULY is a fantastic read. Belle may not have chosen him but he is still oh so special. This is an amazing story. ULY is part of THEM so there is always drama, fights, flirts and more. Playing guitar and writing lyrics is one of his passions. Taking care of BFH and those he loves is his other. HIL will be up next. I can't wait.

Well I didn’t see the end of this book coming. Uly & Mara. The rich guy and the poor girl who mom works for Uly mom. Uly was broken at Penelope, then came Belle but Ash had her hurt now Mara. It took time for Uly to realized he love Mara but when he figure it out all hell broke loose and Mara had been hiding some big secret that we’re life changing for Uly & Mara. I can’t wait for Hil’s book next.

Felt like I was dropped in the middle of a series without any clue about what the fuck was going on. It was so fucking obvious I was missing half the story by the end of chapter one. Skimmed 2 books in a DIFFERENT series and realized so much of the set up for THIS series is in the last one and I hate that.
DNF 10%
If you’re going to continue plot lines from other books in THE FIRST BOOK OF ANOTHER SERIES, maybe you should just link the fucking series’ as one.

For her!
Jaxson has a way of throwing a grenade into a room and laughing at the mess it makes! Uly is another book that makes you duck for cover! We see what's behind the man and get to meet the one person he's meant to be with and no it isn't who everyone expects it to be! I couldn't put this book down, a read that didn't seem long enough!

Incredible Look Into "Them"...
Uly's story will capture your undivided attention from beginning to end.
It seems that all of "them" still have unresolved feelings for Belle in one way or another.
Uly finds himself drawn to Mara.
Her mother is helping care for his mother.
That's when things get interesting.
Looking forward to Hil's story as well.

Jaxson Kidman has once again blown me away with his words. I had been eagerly awaiting the story of ‘Them,’ and Uly’s book was the perfect start. This story had twists and turns that were not expected, and secrets that Jaxson is always good at keeping us enthralled with. This book was so well written, and as with any book by Jaxson Kidman, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Wow
Wow!!!!! I didn’t see this one coming. The twists and turns are incredible. Just when you think you know what is going to happen it doesn’t. Jaxson Kidman knows how to keep you interested. This one is about Uly and what he goes through for family, friends and love. Can’t wait for the next book

Good story
I like the plot and story in general. Though I have to admit that I don't like "them". I think they are all assholes and not the good kind. Their one redeeming quality is that they are true to themselves. It makes the story more realistic. With that being said, I can't wait to read about Hil.

Loved Uly’s story
This was a good one! Uly was a wealthy bad boy with a crappy home life, but he had a good heart. I love how Jaxson weaves all the characters and their stories together. couldn’t put it down!

Who would have thought Uly had it in him to help his Mother. Mara & Uly together were exceptional, the push and shove between them was HOT! Good job Jaxson!

Them
ULY, Hil & Ash, plus Belle and now Mara. How do the feels find you? They track you down and jump you when you don’t expect them. By then, it’s too late. Oh what a ride!
