Dayton #2
No Good
He was the reprobate king of Dayton high. I was the bitter princess cast out of my kingdom. And we were at war.
It started off with a lie, and a one-night stand gone terribly wrong. Although I knew nothing good would come from my encounter with Bellamy West, the small town’s gorgeous bad boy, I didn’t expect him to throw jet fuel onto the already flaming wreckage of my life. Then step back with a sexy smirk on his face to watch me burn.
And burn I did...
He got me fired.
I got him arrested.
We were enemies until we weren’t. Until one touch went too far, and I found myself craving each dirty word. Every filthy promise.
Bellamy West was no good, and I wanted to be bad.
Screw falling for Prince Charming, I wrote my love story with the villain.
And for that, I paid..

'NO GOOD' is the second full length enemies to lovers book in Stevie J. Cole & L.P. Lovell's (Dayton #2) series. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives.' This is Bellamy and new girl Drew's story.
When these two announced that we'd be going back to Dayton I was overly excited to get my hands on this book. These two together are dynamite and I have everything crossed that we get more. I just can't get enough. This ticked all my boxes and left me with my heart bursting.
Seventeen year old Drew is forced to live with her father for two months until graduation after she'd been kicked out of 'Black Mountain' boarding school for supposedly cheating on a test as part of her punishment her father deemed it fit to send her to Dayton High.
To say she is out of her element is an understatement.
When she catches the eye of bad boy Bellamy, these two go head to head. In a normal world these two would never have met, he's the drug dealing, car stealing bad boy, but delve deeper and he's so much more than that.
He had my heart a flutter melting and falling at his feet, a heart of gold when it came to his mum and brother but when the new rich girl started crawling under his skin he also went head to head against a father who didn't understand the first thing about his daughter.
Throw in some highschool angst, from the mean girls, to the boys who rule the school, and a lamb thrown into a den of wolves you know sh!ts going to get good.

so i woke up this week and decided to read a series full of teenage drama and actually like it. wtf.
the ratings are not entirely trustworthy, because there are many things wrong with these books, but the couples are just 🥰🥺🥵✨
also—the author completely fucks up the stories on the last 10%, but i'm pretending that stuff never happens.
now i need books about the rest of the boys so i can continue not thinking for a few days 😭

so....
first to make things clear, I'm a huge fan of this writing duo.
I have been for a long time and I am very well intertwined with their work, cause their writing is simply outstanding.
And although I am pretty much biased cause I prefer their earlier books, which are dark and action packed and overwhelmingly devious...I can't really say that I am thrilled with their venture into the NA mainstream trope...
So, that being said, I have to state that I liked book 1 better than this one...
why did I like this one less?
Uf, honestly, I wasn't into it...the first half of the story was basically a playoff of pranks from both sides (both characters, Bellamy and Drucella/Drew /i> were portrayed as unlikely anything...sure, they are from opposite sides, she's rich, he's poor, she transfers to his school cause her father wanted for her to learn some life lessons or whatever - she feels unloved and uncared for from both sides, absent mother and father - and well, she reacts...but her reactions are like fireworks, too much and too many and too over the top...
in fact, their mutual reactions towards each other are just like that too - too much and too many and too over the top
Bellamy...Bellamy..
he's like this - old "bad boy" cliche (seeing he's from the wrong side of the track, doing bad things, illegal things to survive and help his dysfunctional family to prevail the odds...but his actions towards Drew are just out of spite and he's a douche...)
so, fuck me, but I don't really feel this "attraction" other than when the authors write the actual words
I simply don't see it...sorryNOTsorry
and then it's like some major flip happened in his personality and all of a sudden he's still a bad guy doing the bad stuff but now with feelings towards the heroine...*sigh*
sorry, but I just didn't see it...

Predictable: same formula / structure of previous book in this series
Still enjoyed it somewhat because I like a good bad boy (and boy, is he bad) and also because he has less than zero interest in any ow… and he makes it known…shuts them down viciously LOL
She’s a spoilt brat but he adores her and vice versa…
He loves with his whole being, this little alpha
I like that the author kept it realistic: they don’t have a ride-off-into-the-sunset or a rags-to-splendid-riches kind of ending after his poor small-town struggles.
Minor glimpse of the previous book’s h so that was a bummer but well, can’t pls us all, I suppose

"I’m a villain who just wants the princess.”“Me? Oh, no, I’m the evil queen.”
With the anticipation of more heartbreak, more scorching hot scenes and swoon-worthy characters, my favorite duo of authors, Stevie J. Cole and L.P. Lovell take us back into the strained atmosphere of Dayton and Barrington, where the animosity between the two schools reached new levels. Their worlds coexists with a fierce hatred for each other. Pranks, violence and competition rage.
After Zepp and Red in No Prince, Drew and Bellamy's story gripped me all along. When the Barrington girl proves herself as bad as the Dayton bad boy, sparks fly. I absolutely love a heroine who can stand her ground and a hero who doesn't hold back. And OMG, were these two explosive together.
"She knew I was right—she craved this madness."
Bellamy's loyalty to his friends warmed my heart. But the way he takes care of his family? I might have fallen in love!
Did I mentioned how many times I burst oit laughing?
“Miss Morgan,” Coach shouted. “No aiming at the penile region.”“Sorry. Bad aim.”
With so many enotions, such tension and action, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. And I definitely cant wait for more!

One of my absolute top reads of the year! I don’t get to read these two authors as often as I should-and by that I mean every single day for the rest of my life. I knew from literally the second page that I was going to love this book-and it seriously exceeded all of my wildest, dirtiest expectations.
Bellamy was insanely hot, and with Drew together it was just one atomic fireball of amazing. Their relationship was raw and gritty-it was a seriously emotionally painful ride at times, but these two authors together writing so seamlessly really ensured that this was the best story.
I had nothing in common with either Drew or Bellamy, but I could relate to them because they were genuine, and these authors just absolutely nailed them to the core. I fell in love with even the supporting characters-Hendrix is what dreams are made of. He was laugh out loud hilarious and I’m hoping we get a book for him. Just an absolute magnificent read!

This was enjoyable to read. This book had me totally hooked from the beginning.
Drew and Bellamy's enemies-to-lovers story is not your typical one. The chemistry between them was amazing. They're from two opposites world, but somehow they're similar and perfect for each other.
This is an amazing read for my first time reading a book by both authors. Definitely going to keep my eyes out on the next one

Another fantastic read about a couple of delinquents with a lot more depth than at first glance. Great storyline with the kind of epic love that will leave you with all the warm fuzzies. This one was a bit of a slow burn, but with tons of chemistry ❤.

5 SO GOOD STARS!! BELLAMY, BELLAMY, BELLAMY....that is all my heart keeps saying. I absolutely loved this book, SO MUCH!!! Bellamy and Drew hit all my emotion buttons all the way through. I never wanted this story to end, but unfortunately it had to. You must read this book.

Such a fun read!
No Good is the second interconnected book in the Dayton High series and can EASILY be read as a standalone. It features Bellamy, the rough around the edges, gives no f*cks king of Dayton High, and Drew, the rich girl that is forced to attend Dayton High as a form of punishment.
These two are like oil and water. Bellamy tries to use bullying/intimidation tactics on Drew only to have her one up him and throw it right back in his face. The back and forth between them is so much fun to read!
This story started off hot as h*ll and then as the story unfolds, it becomes more of a sweeter/emotional read. Don't worry - it still has those hot scenes!
I am hooked on this series! It's rough and gritty and different from the other high school romances I've read. While most of the highschool romances feature either prep schools for the rich or normal/average highschools, Dayton High is the highschool for the poor, the ones living on the wrong side of the track. These characters are trying to survive not only highschool but the lives they've been dealt.
It's addictive! I can't wait to see what's in store for Hendrix, Wolf and Nora!

Why did I have to fall for the crazy rich girl? A crazy poor girl would have gotten pissed and gone to a friend's house to bitch about it, because she wouldn't be able to afford to jet off to France to sulk and drown herself in Champagne on a yacht.

After reading No Prince, I had my fingers crossed that we would get more from the bad boys of Dayton. When No Good was announced, I WAS SO EXCITED!!!
No Good was an enjoyable enemies to lovers romance that focused on Bellamy and the new girl, Drew. Bellamy is the bad boy that we love to hate. He whispers dirty words and leaves us all a melting mess. But underneath it all, he has such a kind heart and I loved seeing a softer side to him when it came to his mum and his little brother.
Drew reminded me a lot of Monroe. She was the perfect combination of strong and sassy and refused to let Bellamy walk all over her. He had definitely met his match when it came to her.
I have to admit, some of this storyline felt a little similar to No Prince at times. The ending? I hate to say it, but I wasn't a fan. But it did not impact my opinion on this book at all. It was a really enjoyable read that had me hooked right from the beginning.
I will say one thing though. There was no lacking of sexual tension and chemistry between our main characters!!
GIVE ME HENDRIX ASAP!!!! Just like in No Prince, he is beyond hilarious!!! His one liners had me laughing out loud constantly. He is one of the craziest characters I have ever read and I absolutely LOVE him. I WANT MORE OF THAT CRAZY BOY!!!!!!!

The books can be read as a standalone… it’s based Drew (Drucella) who comes from a rich family and Bellamy who’s on the other side of the tracks… Drew is removed from her prestigious private school to attend one of the worst schools around (according to Bellamy)… that’s where they meet.
If you’ve ever wanted a tie enemies to lovers super toxic read, this is it. They hate it each other so much but makes it so much better when it all explodes… literally. 😂

This is the second book in the Dayton High series but can be read as a stand-alone. This one started out smoking hot and heavy with two sexy strangers looking for a night of fun in the back of a van. Perfect start to a book if you ask me. It definitely had my attention right away. What was supposed to be a walk on the wide side turned into a little more than these characters expected.
“It wasn’t just an orgasm: it was an awakening.”
Drew got kicked out of boarding school for something she swears she didn’t do but her Dad is livid. He decides to ship her off to Dayton High and she’s not too happy. From boarding school to a prep school for prison...what else could possibly go wrong? How about running into Mr. Hottie/One Night Stand on her very first day of her own personal hell? Oops.
“I had every intention of taking that invisible, privileged, princess crown and tarnishing every last gem and fuck it if that wasn’t bad news for her.”
Bellamy is the bad boy of Dayton High. The one all the girls are either scared of and secretly want or have already had and he’s tossed them away. He is trouble with a capital T and his eyes are set on the hot new girl who just so happens to be the same girl that lied to him the other night. Drama, crazy chemistry and a sexy as sin bad boy...this school year’s about to get a whole lot more interesting.
“He held my hand, kissed me..I could still feel the heat of his lips branded on mine.”
There was a ton of drama in this book but maybe a tad too much. It was sort of a mess. I loved the push and pull between Bellamy and Drew but didn’t really feel a connection. It also really, really bothered me that Bellamy was constantly calling Drew “Baby Girl.” I get nick names and all but I felt like it was overused. It was cute to start off with and then it began to annoy me. I couldn’t get past it. It was a good read but not my favorite bully romance.

Another good book about unsupervised high school kids trying to do their best in a shitty world. This one ended on a bit of a happier ending than the first book in the series but getting there was tough.
I think I would have liked this book as much as the first if there was as much "getting to know you" time together but the tradeoff was the more hopeful ending.
My biggest problem (and this is on me) was that I don't remember why Zepp was in jail and for how long from the first book. It was mentioned several times and played a small part in the hole in their group but it was never re-explained and I just can't remember why it happened. I also wish Monroe had been more prominent in this book as well.

💋Recensione per il blog New Adult e dintorni💋
Torna il duo di autrici Cole e Lowell con il secondo capitolo della Dayton Series. L’aspettavo con impazienza perché il primo mi era piaciuto molto e devo dire che il bad boy Bellamy e la ricca e viziata Drew non hanno disatteso le aspettative. Andiamo subito a conoscerli.
Bellamy West è all’ultimo anno del liceo di Dayton, la città malfamata in cui lui e la sua gang spacciano erba e rubano macchine. Niente per gioco ma solo per sopravvivere, la sua famiglia è un vero disastro, con un padre da tenere a bada e un fratellino da salvare. Il sesso è l'unica cosa semplice per lui, un’evasione a cui non può rinunciare ma quando si imbatte nella nuova arrivata, Drew, si troverà di fronte a una conquista difficile, ma una sfida alla quale non potrà rinunciare.
‘Bellamy era anche meglio di quanto avessi sperato. Brutale, rude, potente. Tutti gli altri che avevo avuto, in confronto, erano solo dei ragazzini.’
Drucella Morgan è in punizione, a Dayton dovrà affrontare il liceo statale ricco di pericoli e insidie per colpa del padre. Nella sua vita i soldi e gli agi sono facili ma l’amore, anche quello più semplice come quello dei genitori per lei è un lontano miraggio. Tosta e per niente arrendevole dovrà vedersela con ragazze che la temono e ragazzacci che vorrebbero solo portarsela a letto come il sexy Bellamy. Un patto e si troverà invischiata in qualcosa più grande di lei perché quell’odio che prova per lui sarà sempre più simile all’amore, sentimento a lei sconosciuto. E non c’è niente di più impressionante di un cattivo ragazzo dal cuore d’oro pronto a farti capitolare.
‘Perché quelle come lei non chiedevano di meglio che farsi rovinare da un cattivo ragazzo. Avevo tutte le intenzioni di prendermi quell’invisibile corona da principessa e ammaccarne ogni gemma.’
Mi è piaciuto tantissimo, adoro i Young Adult e anche se il linguaggio è spesso rude e molto disinibito mi sono goduta ogni pagina. Mi sono strapiaciuti entrambi i personaggi, sia nella prima parte in cui si sono fatti una vera e propria guerra. Sia nella seconda in cui si sono arresi.
Mi sono sciolta con i loro dialoghi, volgari ma sempre così divertenti, con quella punta di dolcezza che me li ha fatti amare in tutte le circostanze.
«Tu sei il mio cavaliere con l’armatura di seconda mano.»
«No, piccola. Io sono il cattivo che vuole farsi la principessa.»
«Io? Oh, no, io sono la regina malvagia.»
Ci sono stati dei momenti esilaranti, anche se borderline quando di mezzo c’erano i compagni della gang di Bellamy, Hendrix in particolare. Non oso pensare quando leggerò la sua storia, che spero venga pubblicata al più presto, ci sarà da coprirsi gli occhi ma rideremo sicuramente.
Una lettura entusiasmante con una bella parte hot, fatta più di preliminari e di dirty talking perché quando arrivano al dunque a mio parere prevale la parte dolce e romantica, la più bella e inaspettata di tutto il libro.
Lo consiglio assolutamente, andate oltre il loro linguaggio terra terra, ricordatevi che l’ambientazione è in una zona degradata e fatiscente e loro sono dei ragazzi, guardate invece attraverso i loro cuori e ve ne innamorerete sicuramente come la sottoscritta.

Ci sono stati dei momenti esilaranti, anche se borderline quando di mezzo c’erano i compagni della gang di Bellamy, Hendrix in particolare. Non oso pensare quando leggerò la sua storia, che spero venga pubblicata al più presto, ci sarà da coprirsi gli occhi ma rideremo sicuramente.
Una lettura entusiasmante con una bella parte hot, fatta più di preliminari e di dirty talking perché quando arrivano al dunque a mio parere prevale la parte dolce e romantica, la più bella e inaspettata di tutto il libro.
Lo consiglio assolutamente, andate oltre il loro linguaggio terra terra, ricordatevi che l’ambientazione è in una zona degradata e fatiscente e loro sono dei ragazzi, guardate invece attraverso i loro cuori e ve ne innamorerete sicuramente come la sottoscritta.

STORY: ★★★★
PROOFREADING: ★★
OVERALL: ★★★.5
STORY:
Although this is your typical story of the rich girl who’s forced to attend the school on the other side of the tracks where she falls for the bad boy hottie, I ended up absolutely loving Drew and Bellamy!!! There’s just something about the way Cole and Lovell write that makes the characters feel so believable!!! Bellamy really is hot, and Drew is one of the most feisty female characters I’ve ever met!! Plus Bellamy‘s friends, Wolf and Hendrix, are laugh out loud funny! I sure hope those guys get their own stories!!
EDITING/PROOFREADING:
*** If you aren’t one of the authors or curious about my critical eye, I’d stop reading here***
Although this duo obviously has a talented editor who kept the story flowing well, there were a distracting amount of mistakes and inconsistencies. For example, INTO was always used even though sometimes it should have been IN TO, ONTO instead of ON TO, MIGHT always used even when it should have been MAY, SMOKE for SMOKER (“chain smoke”), PASSED when it should have been PAST, and THONGS for THONG (“Then I slammed my lips to hers, working her thongs over her hips.”). In addition, sometimes the same word was spelled differently (for example, spelled $HIT HOLE sometimes, and $HITHOLE others), and punctuation was missing from the end of a few sentences. The Chicago Manual of Style rules for where to place ending single quotation marks and for spacing ellipses weren’t followed. Regarding ellipses, they also fluctuated between having a space on the left and having no spaces (for example, “not… I” and, “Nora...I” - both are incorrect according to CMOS). Semicolons weren’t used to separate 2 complete sentences like they are supposed to. Some pronouns that should’ve been capitalized were not (such as “dad”), and sometimes words were capitalized that shouldn’t have been (for example “Hi” in, “Arlo keeps coming in my room, shouting at me to tell you Hi.”). Regarding dialogue, sometimes words were capitalized and the wrong punctuation used (for example, [“You’re insane if you think I owe you.” He snorted] should’ve been, [“You’re insane if you think I owe you,” he snorted]).
The majority of the errors were regarding commas. Rules for commas and the word OH we’re not followed (for example, “Oh my God” should have been “Oh, my God”), coordinating conjunctions at the start of sentences always had commas even when they didn’t need one, and I think there may have been a comma every single time the word THEN was used which is not required.
There were sentences with extra words (“regardless of what of whether I helped you or not.”), sentences with the wrong word (“I felt like I’d just been through a spin cycle as I watched him walked back to his car.”), sentences with missing words, and some sentences that were missing punctuation (“more than just “I want to fuck you.”).
I obviously am unable to simply read books without my eyes homing in on every little detail! However, I am sure the majority of average readers will not notice even a fraction of these and will be able to simply enjoy this sect, fabulous story. However, if you are reading this Lauren or Stevie, I’d love to help make your books 100% flawless!!!

Wowzers y'all, nothing is held back in Dayton High. The characters are complicated, dramatic, and and down right dirty! No Good is about bad boy Bellamy and new girl Drew and how their chemistry explodes from the pages like no other!
All in all this book was fun to read and the authors did a good job of portraying the plot! The chemistry was off the charts and the story was dripping with drama, I give it 4 outta 5 stars and am looking forward to what is next with these characters!
PS: Thank you to Stevie J. Cole, L.P. Lovell, and Candi Kane PR for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly!

I loved No Prince so I was really excited when the authors announced that this was going to be a series.
I really liked No Good but I didn’t enjoy it as much as I enjoyed No prince and it was a bit too long.

4.5 STARS REVIEW
Young Adult/New Adult, Contemporary Romance, High School Bully, Enemies-to-Lovers
First Person, Dual-POV
This is book #2 of Dayton series, but it can be read as a standalone. Even though the setting is the same and the characters are interconnected each book has a different couple and their story arch is completed by the end of the story.
Contains issues and situations some may find triggering.
Multifaceted characters, with great, fast-paced plot, fun romance and amazing smut!
This was my first read by both authors and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting a good book, but I truly enjoyed and was hooked from the beginning.
Another lovely surprise was to see that this was somehow connected with Black Mountain Academy, a series that I also love.
FRENZIED LOVE!!!
33/35 STARS – 4.5 STARS (between 31.5 stars and 33 stars)
Addictiveness: 5 Character: 5 Cover: 4 Freshness: 4 Plot: 5 Romance: 5 Writing Style: 5
Action 5/5 Angst 3/5 Darkness 2/5 Humor 3/5 Romance 5/5 Suspense/Mystery 2/5
Would I recommend? Yes, for all readers of crazy, love stories!
Would I re-read this book/series? Yes!
Would I read more from the author? Definitely!!!
Addictiveness: 5/5 As soon as I started reading this book I was hooked into their story. I loved both characters and became invested in their happiness from the beginning. As addictive as chocolate!!!
Character: hero 5/5, heroine 5/5, secondary characters 5/5, growth 5/5, real 5/5 Complex characters with great background stories and good personal growth during the book.
Drew was a wonderful heroine. From the beginning Drew showed that she had backbone. She didn't accept the bullying laying down, she fought back. I didn't mind her mistakes, this is part of growing. I loved how her story arch showed her maturing into a more confident young woman and how Bellamy was a huge part of her personal growth.
Bellamy was an amazing antihero. He was a great bad boy. That boy was sweet and sour at the same time. He was hot and dangerous, but had his moments of easy and cute. I really enjoyed his journey into becoming the perfect boyfriend.
Secondary characters A few interesting characters that I can totally see having their own story in the series.
Villain/antagonists there were a few antagonists in the story.
They were all easy (ok, maybe not that easy) to love, to connect and understand!!!
Cover: art 4/5, title 5/5, color-font 5/5, subtitle 0/5, background 3/5 buy 4/5 I’m obsessed with book covers. I love to find snippets of the stories within the art. I always try to be true to myself, I buy so many books because of the cover and I have skipped many because of not very appealing art. Covers are part of the experience for me and I do like to understand them. This one was ok, but it felt too generic. The guy is hot and it could totally be Bellamy, but I missed a few more hints that showed this cover was specifically made for this story. Maybe a subtitle would have helped. I would probably buy this book by its cover without needing to read the blurb!
Plot: believable 4/5, conflict 5/5, dialogue 5/5, ending 5/5, enjoyment 5/5, opening 5/5, pace 5/5, setting 5/5, subplots 5/5, twists 5/5 Amazing opening with an incredible ending. Superb plot, with well written dialogues and intense pace. Great setting, a few really good subplots with unexpected twists. Highest level of enjoyment!
I can't think of one thing that I didn't like in this plot. It was very cohesive, with great pace, good amount of intensity with some funny moments thrown in to create the perfect balance.
Romance: believable 4/5, chemistry 5/5, description 5/5, development 5/5, steam 5/5 Some would say not very romantic :). It was explosive! Their chemistry was undeniable and so many great scenes. The break-in was FIRE! Wow! Feverish romance!!!
Writing Style: 5/5 I loved it! My first time reading the authors and only have amazing things to say. All characters were well developed and easy to understand; the plot had the perfect equilibrium of darkness and fun; the romance was hot and the smut had some great description. Work of a wordsmith (in this case, two)!!!
Because I try to be very analytical and I don't really believe in perfection...
Freshness: 4/5 It had the usual clichés of a bully high school romance, but at the same time it was so well written that it gave a fresh vibe with a few twists. As fresh as sweet tea during a summer afternoon!!!
You MAY read this because you follow the authors; you SHOULD read this because you like bully romance; you MUST read this because it was exceptionally well written!!!
Art was part sent by Candi Kane PR and part off the author's Facebook page.

I’ve just finished this book and oh my goodness. Stevie and Lp have done it again. I didn’t know how much I missed reading No Prince until I started reading No Good. I missed the guys, I missed Hendrix and his wacky but funny way. The Little Einstein’s song will never be the same thanks to him.
Bellamy is a bad boy, is a guy you don’t want to mess with. You deal on his turf, say goodbye to your car or house as he will make an example out of you with his friends - Wolf and Hendrix.
Walk the corridors of the school, you best move out the way.
Bellamy loved having the girls of the school fall to their knees and loved having the boys crying like babies when he caught you doing something, but that was until a person called Drew stepped on to his turf. But the question is, is Drew a guy or a girl??
Drew is a girl who had everything. All the money, all the clothes she wanted. Lived in a castle on the hill but what she lacked was love. The acknowledgment of her life and being. All the money couldn’t buy love.
But then her world turned upside down by a simple name called BELLAMY!!
I absolutely could not put this book down, I needed to read it but I didn’t want to finish it. I look forward to finding out more. Hopefully HENDRIX gets a book. With his weird and wonderful ways, will he fine love?? Or will wolf be next??

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
He was the reprobate king of Dayton high. I was the bitter princess cast out of my kingdom. And we were at war. It started off with a lie, and a one-night stand gone terribly wrong. Although I knew nothing good would come from my encounter with Bellamy West, the small town's gorgeous bad boy, I didn't expect him to throw jet fuel onto the already flaming wreckage of my life. Then step back with a sexy smirk on his face to watch me burn. And burn I did. He got me fired. I got him arrested. We were enemies until we weren't. Until one touch went too far, and I found myself craving each dirty word. Every filthy promise. Bellamy West was no good, and I wanted to be bad. Screw falling for Prince Charming, I wrote my love story with the villain. And for that I paid.
When you sit down to read this book, you might want to make sure you have time to read it in one sitting because you're not going to be able to put this book down. This is the story of Bellamy and Drew. These two characters together are fire. I swear they could set the entire world one fire with the snap of their fingers. If you read No Prince you met Bellamy. He was in that book and I was so happy to have his story. He is a one smoking hot bully that girls dream of and probably fear in equal measure. You know well to from reading books like this that all the girl love him and all the boys fear him. He is a butt for sure. He has this charm about him that will melt you one second and set you one fire with rage the next. Underneath all that though Bellamy is a good guy with a big heart and he really loves his family which is why he does the good things that he does. Bellamy is a character that you unwrap a little at a time and with each layer you peel back you fall harder and harder for him. Drew is a rich spoiled girl who has some serious daddy issues. She finds herself kicked out of her boarding school and forced to move back in with her father. She keeps her sanity be remembering that she only has two more months to make it with living in this mans home and suffering from his punishments. She still has to finish school too and she expects to be sent to a Prep school and is shocked when her dad sends her in to Dayton High. She has never been in a public school in her life and this is all new stuff for her. This is a school in a town that is rundown with graffitied lined buildings and nothing that she has ever experienced before in her life. She also is done not being seen or heard especially by her father and you just know that some serious trouble is about to happen from her at that moment. I mean after all the girl has nothing to lose really. The high school is the setting of the meeting of Drew and Bellamy and they share a night together and he can't get this girl out of his head. This also gets us readers some serious love/hate banter that I swear just is epic and you will fell it in your very soul. These two are fire and I loved their story. I so don't want to give to much away. But I loved these two and this book so much I could ramble on and on and one about them. You just need to get this book and read it. You won't regret it and will fall in love with Bellamy and Drew and have a new favorite book of your own. I love that we get to read this book over and over as the years pass because it is one that I will never ever forget.

What have I just read? This book was pure epic! This was an enemies to lovers at its finest, the game of who can one up one another. To getting her fired, to getting him arrested, what could possibly go wrong.
Oh I know, lines become blurred and that hate that you have once harboured is starting to thin out and is turning into a craving of lust, and stolen touches. This good girl has gone to the bad side and you can’t help but just hold on and enjoy this ride.
When I first found out about this book, I was so completely overjoyed and was so hooked on what these authors were going to give us and I hadn’t even read the blurb, seen the cover or knew much about it. As soon as I entered the Dayton World once again, it pulled me in just like it did with No Prince, the characters are what I love the most as they are so unique, one of a kind and are hilarious. They aren’t just you’re ordinary bad boys.
Bellamy is no different, move over Zepp! There’s this guy who may be taking you’re spot right now lol. His this small town bad boy, but this bad boy isn’t only who he is, his a guy who will do anything for the ones that he loves, that includes his boys, his mom, his brother and soon to be someone else. He will do anything and I mean anything to protect them,
Drew is something that I grew to love from the moment I met her, she just threw off these vibes that I was liking. Including explain it at first but as the story went on, she was definitely a heroine who you come to love to read. She’s strong, sassy, and of course fiery. She’s not afraid to stand up for herself and not let anyone walk all over her, she will dish it back to you just as good. So prepare yourself.
Together these two were amazing! This bad boy and this rich spoilt princess who has a craving for trouble and being bad just fit. Whenever they are together, you can feel the tension, the heat amping up. As much as they had the chemistry,and the connection, they also had this crazy banter.
Not only did I love their story but the side characters were life. Hendrix the clown with his one liners and his crazy talk were everything. He had me cracking up left right and centre and then we had wolf who is the silent and deadly type who I just need to know more about.
You definitely need to go check this book out and find out what all that fuss is about. No Good is a fun, enemies to lovers bully romance that you will just swoon over. It’s filled with such an amazing storyline, crazy banter and such insane chemistry that you just want to meet these characters.

ALL MY REVIEWS CAN BE FOUND ON MY BLOG: ABSTRACT BOOKS
'No Good' is the second book of the 'Dayton' series by this author. Told in dual Perspectives , this book was definitely one of the best enemies to lovers trope ever!
Drew and Bellamy are love and I absolutely loved their banter. What I liked the most was the spirit Drew had. She gave as good as she got and that definitely made this book a lot better than it could have been.
Drew and Bellamy have been at war for years. They both love tormenting each other and it was the highlight of their lives. That I until hate turned to something else. Now they had both crossed the line and things were out of control. The last thing Drew wanted was to fall for the ice Prince of the school. But it seems like she might not have a choice any longer. It was easy to hate Bellamy , but it was much much tougher to resist him.
A definite recommendation to all the contemporary romance lovers out there! This book was definitely an amazing enemy to lovers with some hot banter , and is something you people should definitely miss at any cost!

Bellamy West is the king of the school, the bad boy all the girl clamor for, and the one man Drew wishes she had never caught the eye of. Every time she turns around he is there, invading her space, making advances and lude comments that bother her more than she cares to admit. When her father had her sent to Dayton High she never thought she'd be fending off some handsome troublemaker and his hood alum friends, but she is, and every interaction they have the more dangerous things get.
There is no way this thing between them is going to end well...
No Good is a dark and steamy little tale that is bound to anger you and push you to your limits, and make you blush. The game of cat and mouse these two play is intense, emotional, and driven by a fierce attraction. When he pushes her she pushes him right back, they are constantly upping the ante against one another, they'll have you wondering how far they will go to get the upper hand. From page one I was taken with these characters, left feeling that I needed to know more, understand what made them the way they were. And boy did I learn a lot! These two were quite the pairing, they fed off one another and the tension brewing between them had me on edge the whole way through. I have to say these talented authors brought us an well penned & unforgettable read that is bound to find it's way to the bestsellers list! They really outdid themselves with this one, I loved every word of it! Highly recommend!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.

Oggi sono qui per parlarvi di un'altra bellissima opera arrivata nelle nostre librerie.
Come sapete sono una grande amante del genere, quindi potevo mai farmelo scappare?
Assolutamente no.
Il primo volume della serie era "Non è un principe", ma anche aue se to secondo volume creato dalla Cole e dalla Lovell si può leggere senza aver letto il primo, poiché entrambi sono autoconclusivi e indipendenti.
I nostri protagonisti sono Drew e Bellamy, del tutto diversi l'uno dall'altra ma entrambi con un carattere fortissimo.
Lei dopo essere finita nei guai nella vecchia scuola per aver copiato durante un esame, viene mandata dal padre in una scuola pubblica come punizione ed è qui che incontra Bellamy, il classico bad boy, ma di quelli veri poiché non è solo uno stronzo ma anche un trafficante di droga. Eppure il suo intento è solo tenere al sicuro le persone care.
Sarà il loro giocare sporco che li avvicinerà pericolosamente.
" Tu sei il mio cavaliere con l’armatura di seconda mano. "
Devo dire che non mi aspettavo nulla del genere.
Mi aspettavo un classico romance pieno di cliché e, nonostante ci siano, mi ha davvero presa. Solitamente non amo molto gli spicy o i classici romance ma Triskell è sempre capace di farmeli apprezzare e anche stavolta non è stato diverso.
Il finale soddisfacente mi ha fatto chiudere il libro pensando che fossi proprio contenta.
Se lo consiglio? Assolutamente si. Un'ottima idea regalo per Natale.

Eppure il suo intento è solo tenere al sicuro le persone care.
Sarà il loro giocare sporco che li avvicinerà pericolosamente.

Devo dire che non mi aspettavo nulla del genere.
Mi aspettavo un classico romance pieno di cliché e, nonostante ci siano, mi ha davvero presa. Solitamente non amo molto gli spicy o i classici romance ma Triskell è sempre capace di farmeli apprezzare e anche stavolta non è stato diverso.
Il finale soddisfacente mi ha fatto chiudere il libro pensando che fossi proprio contenta.
Se lo consiglio? Assolutamente si. Un'ottima idea regalo per Natale.
