Forrest Grove Academy #1
Dirty Lie
A High School Bully Romance
Growing up in Compton, I'd never really had much—only my close friends and a mother that loved me more than anything. That's all a girl really needs anyway until it's not there anymore. In the blink of an eye, I'm ripped away from everything I've ever known by the rich and powerful Lucas Cabot, a man I've never met before.
Being thrust into a world of wealth and prestige while grieving the death of my mother has me in a whirlwind, and I'm stuck trying to navigate this new world without those I've always trusted.
As if that isn't bad enough, Lucas's middle son, Wes, doesn't want me there and he certainly isn't afraid to show it either. Neither do his best friends, Hunter and Jaxson. They've made it perfectly clear I don't belong and they'd rather I'd be gone. I'd rather that too. The further away from them, I can get the better. Except everywhere I turn, Wesley is there, in my face. But just like Mom always was, I'm a survivor. If I can handle everything Compton threw at me, then I can handle a bunch of damn spoiled rich kids.
God help me because I'm going to need it.
Authors Note: Forrest Grove Academy is a high school bully romance, teen and young adult series. This is book one and does end with a cliffhanger. It's recommended for mature readers 17+ because of cursing and 'certain scenes.' If you're cool with that, then dive in and enjoy the ride!

So one night, Bella's mum's boyfriend decides to rape Bella. And Bella's mum shows up to save her daughter and gets shot in the head. And then Bella beats the boyfriend to death with his gun. Then she runs off to live with a gang leader and is considering dealing or prostitution as a career when a rich bloke shows up to whisk her away to his mansion.
The rich man knew Bella's dad and it's a mystery. He has 3 sons and a crappy girlfriend. Bella wants to have sex with the middle boy, but he's a sulky boy with a nicely thick body and no personality.
I'm here for this plot, and will tolerate a lot of nonsense for it. I'm really prepared to be sympathetic towards a character who loses their parent in a sudden, awful, violent event, and who has a brutal fight to save herself. But Bella is a bad heroine, the villains are boring and the hot boy has no sizzle.
Bella's'I'm not like other girls' (ugh) is 'they all dumb bitches with boob jobs, my breasticles are home grown and fab.' Sick of it. And she brings it up A Lot. She brings it up when she's fighting the boring mean girls, and she brings it up when she's around the boys to show how cool she is.
She's basic and thirsty, performing 'I'm a natural beauty!' and 'I like expensive cars, especially classic ones, like boys do!' and 'I like poker nights with the boys, and can clean up!' and 'I'm not always out spending a man's money on $$$ fashion!' (but not at all uncomfortable with the gift of a super-expensive car...) and 'I share your contempt for other girls, by being supportive when you go have sex with them, even though we all agree they are terrible!'
I know I'm reading a basic book, but it could be so much better if the characters were more than just the most basic of their type.
There's an ongoing mystery, as Bella discovers that her guardian and some of his children know more about her dad than they're letting on. There's a cliffhanger ending, with Bella discovering a betrayal.
I read the first few pages of the second book, and the initial resolution of the cliffhanger made no sense and served to further convince me that I don't care what happens next.

This storyline was too similar to Paper Princess by Erin Watt.

This book started of great.. then about half way in I noticed a lot of annoying shit. Like the h really thinks no end of herself... she seemed like a meek virgin tomboy at the start then all of a sudden she turns into a sassy (horny) all that chick that every guy wants to fuck? I don't even get the chemistry between her and Wes. Like the other reviewers this has a lot of paper princess vibes. Also felt like she didn't grieve her mom enough? She also makes more fun of other girls than they did of her. Also way after meeting the h he has a foursome with friends and the h is kicking herself for not joining? Do virgins really want a gangbang for their first time???? That cliffhanger was really boring... :/
This could have been so much more! Super sorry to give it a 1.5 :(

Teen Angst t the MAX,
I have been straying from the teen and youth adult romances since I’m in my sixties. But the blurb for this one hooked me in. And I’m glad it did. I could hardly put this book down. And I have already marked my calendar for the next book in the series. Definitely worth reading.

Good story!
Dirty Lie offers its readers a good story. Bella has had a difficult life and after tragedy strikes again she is thrust into living with her new guardian and his sons. As her life completely changes, she has to navigate secrets, high school bullies, and teenage hormones.

The book is pretty good, but as many have said its quite similar to Paper Princess…
Also the Heroine gives of MAJOR 'pick me' / not-like-other-girl vibes and always has to point out that she is so 'different' and 'better' than other girls when those girls haven't even done anything to her. ait's quite annoying and definitely ruined some of the book for me.

Wow, another great slow burn bully romance. Love it. Can't wait to see what happens in book two. The characters are strong and well placed in each scene they are in. I just want to know the secret that they are keeping from her and the lying. Now that I got to the end.
Bella's life may have been rough but it's just gotten a whole lot rougher in a spam of a few hours home with the idiot boyfriend her mom stays with. If only she could turn the wheels of time backwards to have more time. But it is was it is and not she has more pressing matters to attend too. Like keeping the plastics and Wes off her back long enough for her to graduate school. Will her life ever be normal again.

I only managed to get to 19% and gave up. The fact that the author was spelling a characters name differently midway through a chapter just bugged me.
I’ve not read anything by this author before, so I’m not sure what their other books are like.
Also, only 19% in and I, like other reviewers, also felt a Paper Princess vibe. I really wasn’t feeling it.

Very very similar to paper princess Royal series
I don't normally do this but, this is almost exactly the paper princess Royal series. The similarities are just to many to ignore. I'm disappointed that there is no originality left these days. Yes bully romance high school series are very popular, but come on don't copy everybody else's hard work. You can obviously write, come up with something new and inspiring

Compton Girl with a Mysterious Father. Ends Up In Huntington Beach with Stepbrothers
Bella is a tough cookie.
Raised in the mean streets of Compton.
Best friend JB, is an enterprising drug dealer along with his prostitute business partner (?) Chrissie
Bella, has survived living in a crap apartment, on the scraps her waitress mother and her mothers (latest) boyfriend Greg provide.
It’s not great, but it’s all she has ever known.
Until one fateful night when things go terribly wrong.
Ending with her mother shot and Greg beaten with the gun. Curtesy of Bella.
After running away from the scene, Bella is prepared to spend the rest of her life working for JB and Chrissie until, the Mysterious Mr. Lucas Cabot shows up, complete with lots fire power claim he is her guardian.
From that moment on, Bella’s life becomes the stuff of fairytale’s
Posh new private school, huge mansion, flash new car, and three new stepbrothers (?)
Chuck, (20) Wes, (18) and Sebastian (15) PLUS, Lucas’s trophy girlfriend Kathie.
Can Bella fight her growing attraction to Wes, and he to her?
Will Kathie start treating her better and not as if she’s a gold digger?
Will she find out who her father was ? what relationship he had with a Lucas Cabot ? what the mystery is surrounding his alleged death, and why are people close to her lying?
This story had all the usual High School drama elements:
She lives in in a Mansion. Check.
Goes to private,posh school. Check.
Meets girl bestie Adrian, who shows her the ropes. Check.
The group of mean girls called ‘The Plastics’ no less. Check.
Drama takes place at: Weekly beach parties, football games, at the lockers. Check.
The mean guy (Wes)she SWEARS she won’t fall for but kinds does. Check
“He may have been hot shit at Forrest Grove and everyone there might have worshipped the ground he walked on, but damn if I was going to.”
Sure Bella, keep telling yourself that.
Also for someone who wasn’t a party girl Bella goes to a lot of the parties
Wes actually used reverse psychology on her so she would agree to go to the first end of the school week, beach party
And as much as she tried to keep her distance, Bella could stop fantasising about Wes.
With his muscles, and abs, and tattoos
Then she meets his friends Jaxson and Hunter, accidentally catches them all in a foursome, THEN starts having fantasies about THEM.
Overall, I enjoyed this book despite the sometimes clique plot, but please, please for the love of all that is holy, don’t send this into RH territory.
Can we Keep things monogamous and NOT polyamorous.
I will be disappointed in Bella if it heads in that direction.
Hopefully not,when she said this-
“I couldn't help but wonder how many people knew just how intimate the three of them were. For all I knew, everyone was assuming I was the new cream in their three-way Oreo. But that wasn’t my forte at all.”
Thank goodness

okay after finishing the entire series I can’t say this was the best book I’ve read but also not the worse. While this has all the makings of being a great story it just missed the mark. Characters needed to be developed more and the storylines throughout the entire series could have used more details and more of just everything. For example, the characters go from starting the page to hating each other and at the bottom of the page after their first good talk saying I love you. As a reader I would’ve liked to see that relationship be better developed before saying I love yous. The cliff hangers had potential to be really good but lacked follow through and fizzled out.
I would recommend this book to someone who is in a reading slump and trying to get back into reading or to someone just looking for an easy palate cleanser in between some heavy reading.
Again, not the worse book ever I definitely see the potential of this series, and author. I think this series could benefit from adding more details to characters and the story.

Well, I’m not really sure how I feel about this book. The beginning started out great really sucked me in the .... it just lost its drawl. For a bully romance it’s not what I was expecting. The H is quite naïve. She finds the picture and then the will and doesn’t think to take a picture of it or to take it?!?!? And why not confront Lucas?!?! There is definitely something shady going on there. And as for that cliffhanger????? What was that. Kinda boring.... shocker Kathy cheating on Lucas. No didn’t see that one coming!!! I don’t know I’ll most likely read the next two books in the series because I’m anal and hate not finishing a series but I’m hoping it doesn’t drag on and on. I was hoping Bella would be a strong less naive female character.

Good but....
Good but I almost didn’t finish the book due to errors. There were times when the wrong word was used such as ringed instead of rang. In the beginning Lucas said “painful” when the context of the sentence let you know the word should have been “painless”. Pretty big difference in words there! There was a random jump in time when Lucas and Bella were in her room talking about pizza and the pool and suddenly Bella had pizza in her mouth and looked inside when they heard someone arrive. When did they leave her bedroom, go to the pool, order the pizza and when was it delivered? I had to read that section several times because I thought I missed something. The sentences with the random commas were also an issue. As the book went on there were less errors and I did like to storyline so I continued. Giving Book 2 a chance.

Great potential
This book was fast to read. It felt rushed, the attraction between MCs was definitely too fast. Also it was tad unrealistic that the FMC couldn’t stop licking her lips every time the MMC was around, cmon she seemed like a girl with a good head on her. But this story did keep me in, and I am curious about the secrets yet to be revealed so I will read the 2nd book just to see where the story goes.

From ghetto to the "rich life"...
Raised in the ghetto, Bella was used to a certain way of life. She kills the man that shot her mom. Her entire life changes when a man, Lucas Cabot, comes looking for her. He promised her dad, she never knew, to look after her. She does not know why and secrets are being kept. She makes friends with one of his sons, Sebastian, but Wes, another son glares at her.

Dirty lie
After Bella’s mom dies she runs off to stay with a friend. She’s surprised when word on the street is someone is looking for her. When Lucas finds her. Her life changes from ghetto to castle Private school new cloths and a house full of boys. Not all welcoming to her. A house full of secrets and lies

Book recommendation: if you even remotely liked the concept behind this book I would strongly urge you to read Paper Princess. It’s the first book in The Royals Series and it shares an uncomfortably amount of similarities to this book series.
I would describe this book as the poor mans Paper Princes. That’s not to say I didn’t like the book just that it could be and has been done better.

So many exclamation marks! It was like nails on a chalkboard! I almost couldn’t make it through the book simply because of the exclamation marks! The characters were underdeveloped and the heroine had a real ‘not like other girls’ attitude! Plus, did I mention all the exclamation marks?!!!!

How does a girl from Compton end up in a mansion!
The Cabots and her dad are what lead Bella to leave her ghetto life for the lap of luxury. Her mother's dead, and she is trying to unravel the mystery of her dad. In the middle of this, she's caught feelings for Wes Cabot.

This book is VERY similar to Erin Watts - The Royals Series. BUT different.
It's a fun series about story about a girl from Compton Whisked away from the 'ghetto' and adopted into a family of protective rich boys. Lots of secrets, drama and oh my lordy some hot stuff!
It's nothing hardcore and quite lighthearted as first books go. I thoroughly enjoyed this first installment and CANNOT wait to continue with the story.
So far Bella is awesome, she's strong (emotionally and streetly ... If thats a word 😅). I love Sebastian the younger brother, so happy about his story and love love that some of these people are getting freaky 😏.
Easy read and can smash out in hours!!

Good but lots of grammar mistakes
I did enjoy this book but the grammar mistakes are really annoying tbh.
Apart from that tho I think it's a good read and the characters are great.

The herione not to be messed with
I need more heriones like Bella in this genre!! K. Walker had me wanting to know what was going to happen next from the very page and with an ending like that it this is only going to get dirtier.

Abysmal
I gave up on page 25 because of the multiple spelling errors, utterly weak and childish storytelling and the fact that the writer can't even keep their characters straight. The girl was 16 and suddenly 2 days later she's 17.
Utter drivel don't waste your time.

eh.
This book was okay. It wasn’t very intriguing and not much happened. Since 80% of the sentences ended in an “!” you would assume it would be more of an exciting book. Sebastian’s golden retriever energy was fun, though.

Good, but too many typos
This could have been 5-stars, but for all the silly typos. As a reader, typos take away from a good story; hire a better editor!
