Bully me dumb
This book is terrible. The writer often uses the wrong verb, so it makes these highly educated rich people look stupid. Example
some teachers who would love to have a smart, hard-working student who are in all AP classes...
Who are?? This is the principal- should say who is.
When Megan is murdered it is narrated through her POV even saying “I’ve been stabbed straight through the heart, I scream and finally take my last breath”. Wtf?? Stupid
This is just one. There are so many it’s laughable.
And as soon as this virgin , bullied in the past, almost killed girl walks in, the twins grab her and molest her, which she loves, then Tristan walks in and has sex with her , taking her virginity and has sex with her so many times, apparently unprotected. They then take her to a charity auction and Max whisks her off and molests her, which she loves. Then Tristan finds her and has sex with her and then let’s her be won by auction by a girl, who has sex with her, which she loves. No one ever asks her, they just do it and she’s cool with it. Then she continues to make out with Max at school, Tristan at home and then finally with the twins as well.
This is just bad writing overall and apparently no editing. I question the judgment and morality of the people who 5 starred this.

Tristan Triton
Woah, this book starts off intense and does not stop til the end. It is amazing. So Tristan has suffered physically, mentally and emotionally. He has experienced tragedy and does not want to go thru that again. So when Tristan, Drake and Dillon meet Haven their new step sister , they want her. Will do anything to keep her? But how far is Tristan going to go? What else will we find out about mysterious murders? Does he have anything to do with them? Ugh I need more! The heat level.is freaking scorching with all four of them. I feel for anyone who will take Haven away from them!
You definitely need to be sitting near a fan to cool off. This book was so intense and I was on edge at the end. I got goose bumps. I cannot wait for the next book!

Seriously!?!?!?! False advertisement. Skip it
High school "romance" ? !?!? Hardly . It's erotica . Poor and simple. It might have been hot if a whole story supposed to be entirely something else. A "virgin" spreading her legs at first meeting of anybody basically. Hardly believable. Or really a slut we talking about. Read like 42% of it but I just couldn't take it anymore.
And don't even mention the typos.
I wish I could wash my brain of that book.

Terrible understanding of consent and sex
This book is god awful written by someone who either chooses to not understand the way the human body works or ignores it completely.
So virgin. Gets grabbed molested and then coerced into rough violent sex and then has rough sex multiple times, orgasming without even much stimulation multiple times in one day. Over and over with different people.
The poor girl wouldn’t be able to walk!!!!
Just a poor book

The writing is awful! The story is not even a little bit believable and the characters are all one dimensional. It’s a train wreck that needs an editor stat! I’ll probably read the next one just to see how bad the train wreck actually is, but unless you like reading stories that are so bad you can’t stop reading, choose something else to read.

Don't waste your money. Seriously. I don't need to read this series because I've read one that has an eerily similar plotline: The Royals series by Erin Watt. I recommend that one compared to this trainwreck.

Escaping from her previous school where she was bullied by three guys, Haven is determined to have a fresh new start in a smalltown called Heartbreak Falls when her mum mentions she has married on a whim to Terrance Tritan. Terrance has three sons Tristan, Dillon, and Drake. When she arrives, the boys decide they want her and not as a stepsister but as their lover. It's perfect timing too as her mother and Terrance leave on their honeymoon. Meanwhile, a couple of others including Max and Megan Bradshaw also have their eyes set on Haven. I did think that this book could have had a bit more bullying but it ended up being a full-on Reverse Harem tale and less bullymance like the title claimed. The book though did take a bit of a romantic suspense twist near the end as we learn that the Tritan's have a history of the females that they love being murdered/kidnapped. We also have a twist with Megan not being as innocent as she seems near the ending of this book. Like Rachel Angel's other books, Bully Me Not was a quick read and ends on a cliffhanger.

*Spoiler Alert*
Haven (FMC) gets a massive culture shock when her mother marries into a new family. She gets on with her stepfather but her stepbrothers want more than sisterly love from Haven. What Tristan and the Twins Dillon and Drake want is to break Haven by using any means necessary including sexual. All to get rid of her and her mother but they dont count on her playing them at their game. Love Haven. Shes Witty, Smart and sees through whatever they throw at her. Her stepbrothers are another story. The twins im still on the fence about but Tristan is obnoxious and overbearing. I also love how sneaky and conniving most of the characters in this book are. Some shocked the hell out of me. Loved this book so much and i cant wait to see what happens next

Honestly I couldn't t finished this book....
Third chapter I think 3 brothers drag her upstairs and have their way with her....And she was a virgin and only hurts a little a twinge of pain. The main guy has his dick tattooed and pierced multiple times!! While her mom just goes off with new husband to Florida for a honeymoon.
I couldn't t finish this book. I'm so sorry.
Oh and it ends at 67%
Then it's a few chapters of other books, like 3 or 4.
I seriously thought they weren't supposed to do that anymore.
Readers can bash my review all they want but this is my honest opinion
Thanks

Wow!!! What a sexy reverse harem bully dark romance series! The guys are so hot and two of them are twins!
September 27, 2020
Bully Me Not was so hot. This book had everything that people who love bully romances (author makes a note that she means enemies to lovers basically and does not condone bullying per se. There are so many hot scenes that you should have a fan nearby. There are some surprises that come out of left field and some dark and twisted elements. Haven is a very strong, kind, easy to get along, smart, and beautiful female lead. Tristan is a total alpha and in control (or thinks he is but I think Haven is giving him a run for his money). Drake and Dillion follows Trista’s lead but they both seem to know what they want and you can tell they are the heartbreakers that they are called as Drake says he is a rake, playboy, etc. Reading Bully Me Not from the first page till the last you will feel like you are in a whirlwind from all the action. Then the ending was the biggest bomb to drop. You really need to read this book to see what I mean. You will not regret reading it. This is the first book I have read from Rachel Angel and it will not be the last. Can’t wait to read the next book in this series. Enjoy!

Benefit of the doubt
With this rating and review I will only address the part concerning 'Bully me not', which I believe to be an entertaining start to a new series, yet lacking some development. It kept me invested in the plot and characters and makes me want to continue the series, which I think equals a 3 star rating.
What mostly bothered me is that this book is a lot shorter than I expected. It was basically finished around 70%, adding other excerpts at the end, making me feel like this book should be classified as a serial or novella rather than a novel.

This is the 1st in a new series. Haven is naïve and innocent and is bullied at school, and when her mom marries a wealthy man they move into a new town. Tristan, Drake, and Dillon are her new stepbrother’s, and they rule their school. Tristan is the eldest of the boys and he suffered emotional and mental trauma when he was kidnapped, and he witnessed his mom’s murder. The boys are determined to destroy this new marriage, but they want Haven at the same time. This is a good story which is a fast-paced quick read, and I look forward to reading more from this author.

September 13, 2020I am not going to rate this because I don't want to take the ratings down. I didn't really care for this book. But I think it is just because I don't care much for RH. And it also had some f/f action not my cup of tea. There was much terminology I wasn't into. For me it didn't work. It also felt like lots of hooking up but not much story.

Hot and steamy
A quick story. The characters have depth but there’s not a lot of emotional foundation for the hot and steamy stuff. I mean damn it's HOT but it just doesn't feel natural. Secrets and shadows I was hoping to unravel.

OMG one of the hottest books I've read! That Tristan is one diabolical but damn so sexy forbidden stepbrother you'd want to be "bullied" by. Dillion and Drake adds even more hot stepbrother sexiness. I need to binge read the entire series now.

Just was not my cup of tea - felt like the entire story was rushed and forced from the beginning.

Should’ve been a college bully book. High school…No. 🤨 whoever edited this missed a whole lot. From the moment Haven met the Tritons it was nothing but sex, sex, sex. High school porn anyone 🤢
February 24, 2025
seriously awful
Zero plot, sex with no purpose, even the “bully” part of the bully romance was weak and dumb. So would not recommend. A total waste of time.

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. Tristan goes through hell when the book starts and he is not sure how to deal with the trauma that he has suffered with the his kidnapping and the death of his mother. His father does all he can to try to get him back on the right track. That does change him and missing a year of school he is now in the same grade as his twin brothers. This is their second stepmother since the death of their mother, but the first time for a step-sister is added to the mix. It is a fast paced story and there is a lot of heat to go around. Tristan is find out a little pieces of what happened and more things are going on in Heartbreak Falls then is shown on the surface. Will all the questions be answered or will the mysterious murders go unsolved.

This story was entertaining. It can’t purport to be anything other than elementary, repetitive prose; easy dialogue (with grammatical errors); fast paced; instalust; and smexy times with some contrived suspense / thriller story thrown in. I think I read “thrusted and thrusted” at least five times. Character development was minimal. For instance I could barely discern the difference between The Twins. So glad the heroine didn’t play “hard to get” mind games. Story development was light. This book was a series of simply described sex scenes interspersed with little story / weak writing. The title is misnamed as there was no bullying. Frankly though I enjoyed this book for what it was and will read part 2.

WOW WOW WOW.
This was an amazing read that I could not put down till i finished the very last word. The pace at which this book moves along is perfect making it a very enjoyable read. The characters are so real that you feel as though you know them personally and that you want to be there with them personally and to be able to support them throughout the story. The story is amazing. It will grab you from the very first word and not let you go until you finish the last and then you are needing more. This needs to be on you to be list, you will be sorry if you dont.

Oh holy hell!! This book is scandalous, sexy, full of drama and drop dead gorgeous hotties!! Haven is starting her senior year in a new school and with new step brothers. After her mother suddenly marries into the Triton family she is now part of the family. Tristan, Drake and Dillon can't wait to make Haven's life miserable and get her and her mother to leave and never return. But things quickly take a turn when feelings start to develop between the four of them. I cannot wait for book two to see what happens with all of the twists and turns in this story!

That last chapter though
Full of intrigue and tons of sexy time, Heartbreak Falls is the first in the series. Haven walks into a new family of three brothers when her mom and their dad pull a Brady Bunch move and marry each other out of the blue. The parents then take off for their honeymoon leaving Haven alone with the three to find out all kinds of juicy things about her new family. Murder, kidnapping, and omg that last chapter from Tristan’s POV is definitely the way to keep a reader reading.

Seriously I am in love with this story and all the characters in it. This is such an intense read with twists and turns that will keep you on edge wanting, needing more as the story goes on and not putting down at all and completely hooked on their story so freaking much. I truly can not wait for the next book in this series as I am definitely excited to get more of them.

First off.. holy steamy!! From beginning to end.
I'm curious to see what happens in book 2.. this book leaves you with many questions.. I need to know what happens next!! Definitely full of some taboo situations, but that's what's fun about reading, in my opinion. Another reviewer said it best, "its scandalous and full of drama". I have a feeling that book 2 is going to have much more bullying as this one was pretty tame for Rachel Angel's books. Looking forward to continuing Haven's story ♡
