Sometimes, you gotta play dirty…

Since leadership camp, my life path has changed. I want to be an upstanding politician for the people, and it all starts with the Sapphire Bay High Student Council Presidency. My first duty when I’m elected: deal with the elite bullies that terrorize the school.

But there is one big problem – my opponent is Sasha Phillips, one of the most influential members of the elite Sapphire Bay clique. To make matters worse, she is campaigning with three notoriously vicious running mates.

Carter, Max, and Oliver will stop at nothing to make sure I fail, miserably, in the election. Their corrupt tactics make it even harder for me to compete. As the election heats up, so does my attraction to Sasha’s three bullies.

Will I crumble beneath their power and influence, or change Sapphire Bay High for the better?

(Class Is In Session ⚠: Naomi Martin’s newest release, Corrupt Me, is a high school alpha bully romance between one strong independent woman, and three viciously handsome bullies. Mature Audiences Only)

I have to say that Naomi Martin did a wonderful job with this book. She addressed bullying and it’s consequences in a romance format without going overboard with information. I am sure there are lots of statics and other facts that could have been used but would have possibly taken away from the story. Naomi managed to write story about a bully romance and address the issues in a way that doesn’t detract in any way the story. You can get lost in the romance and concentrate on the characters and what is unfolding between Mia, Oliver, Max, and Carter. Mia is a very strong minded woman who after spending time at a camp that focuses on change among other things. Mia took what she learned and wanted to help facilitate change at her school. Her passion and fire fuels changes in Oliver, Max, and Carter in their outlook and forces them to see their behavior and want to change themselves. I cannot recommend this book more highly than I do right at this moment. You will love reading about Mia, Oliver, Max, and Carter! There are a few sensitive topics but I don’t think they will trigger anyone unless they are very easily triggered. But they do discuss some hard topics but it is not in depth. Hope you will enjoy this book as much as I do.

Addressing a Hot Topic!

After Mia went to a leadership camp, she decided she wanted not only to stop the bullying in school but to also be a leader. The only way Mia could do both was to run for the Sapphire Bay High Student Council Presidency. Unfortunately Mia was running against the one person who loved to bully and hurt people for her own enjoyment. Worse, Mia seemed to be Sasha's favorite target. Top it off Sasha has three of her minions petitioning (bullying) Mia.

Someone will win the election. Will Mia be the better person and win the day?

I commend Martin for selecting a topic that is evident in every school. While each school acknowledges bullying is problem, the teachers are also part of the problem. From my position as a parent, children are punished for everything but bullying at school. Allowing the bullies to do as they please, no one wins. Especially the victims.

Do you ever find that series that you can't seem to put down once you start, and then with each new book you're devouring it as soon as it's released? That's what the Sapphire Bay series is like for me. Corrupt Me is the third book in this series, and even more gut-wrenching and soul-searching than the previous two. Max, Oliver, and Carter are originally trying to bully Mia into dropping out of the Student Council President race, but she actually wins them over and love prevails. Her campaign to change the bully and elitest culture at Sapphire Bay, especially against the queen bee and bully herself really sucked be into this story. Mia stand up for not only herself, but for all her classmates and future generations.

Each book in this series is a standalone, but I'm really hoping for a companion/follow-up interweaving all the RH couples!

Please note that I did receive an ARC of this book, and the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

This was a look at bullying from a victim who was constantly bullied and how her life turned around due to an intense leadership giving her a new perspective, confidence and tools to deal with bullies! Sasha was an extreme bully who actually got off on hurting people and trying to bend them to her will. Mia was her favorite target. Mia went to a leadership camp and came back determined to make a difference in her Sapphire Bay high school before she graduated at the end of the year. This was a fast-paced read with the exhibition of an elite culture looking down and victimizing what they perceive as people who are below them. The characters had depth to their personalities, the issues were real and it had some great twists to the plot. I loved this book and it was hard to put down until the end.

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I enjoyed this story about Mia, Carter, Oliver and Max. The
Mia is a student at SBHS and has been bullied by the elite clique at the school for years, mostly by Sasha. So when she comes home from attending a leadership camp, Mia decides to run for student council president, but when Sasha finds out, she vows to beat her. Mia wants to run a clean campaign about trying to clean up the culture at the school but exposing the bullies and making them be accountable for their nasty deeds. What she's but planning on is Carter to plan on getting Sasha win, first by having Oliver spy on her. Then Max stands up to Sasha and I confuses her more. Now she's fighting feelings and runs to determine if they at playing her. A crazy relationship begins.

I like when the characters grow during the course of the story line. Be aware this is a RH romance. The FMC was shy and bullied all through high school. Senior year she was determined to change and make it a better year. She stood up to the school administration and her bullies. The men were jerks in the beginning but were shamed to see the consequences of what their bullying did. They matured and became better people by the end. But the FMC was strong, loyal, and not giving up. I have read a lot of bullying books and this one is in my top ten. This was a lot more realistic than some of the other bullying books.

I absolutely loved this book and I have no hesitation in recommending it!
The story had my attention straight from the beginning with great characters and a well thought out plot.
After attending a leadership camp,Mia,much to her best friend Gina's surprise, says that she is going to change Sapphire Bay high school by running for Student Council Presidency. She is going to help stop the elite bullies.
Her one big problem is her opponent Sasha Phillips,one of the elite bullies and, the one who has made Mia's life hell for years.
Carter, Max,and Oliver, three of Sasha's friends, will stop at nothing to help Sasha win.
Dive in,to find out if Mia crumbles under their combined attacks,or,will she prevail?

Mia the MC goes to Redwoods Leadership Academy during her summer. Mia has always been meek and not stood up to the bully Sasha. Now the new and confident Mia is standing up to the bully. She decides that changes need to be made at her High School. None of the staff do anything to support the students that come to them telling about how they have been bullied. This story is interesting as Mia comes out of her shell she also finds herself attractive to the young men in town. This book is a RH with the facts of bullying as the main focus, as it should be. I was given a free copy of this book at my request and this is my honest review.

The Best of the Bully Romance Books by Far!
The best out of the three in the bully series of books Naomi has written to date, great work! Realistic by age and setting, impressive handling of a touchy topic, and the heroine truly handles her reverse harem with style! I love that the main character is a redhead and that the boys notice her not just for her looks but her personality also, they are seeing the whole person as opposed to what is on the cover. I deducted a half of a star only due to the numerous type-o's throughout.

usually I don't enjoy writing anything negative about hard work that people have created for us to enjoy. The author is magnificent and I am looking forward to reading more material from her. This particular series started off so awesome but book 2 and 3 i found it very hard to hold my interest for. Book two switched characters and book 3 I felt that I just didn't have it in me to follow. I can't say the content is, lacking because its not. I think it boils down to personal preference and I feel like i may have just been expecting a different direction.

This was different than the first two but a great read. When you wanna fight for what’s right you gotta be ready for a hard road cuz it’s not always easy. There is always someone that doesn’t agree with you and will do anything to prevent you getting further in your mission. That is definitely what Mia faced when going up against Sasha for President of the Senior Student Class.

From bullies to boyfriends...what an impact Mia had on Oliver, Max and Charter. Mia had a great speech and definitely stood her ground for what she believed in and wanted to accomplish.

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would have. Most books about bullying don't normally turn out this way, but this one ends happily. There should be a Mia at every school in this country. This is probably my favorite book by Naomi Martin.

Mia's adventures to become student council president took many different turns and had many different emotions. Her adventures lead to many different outcomes that I wasn't expecting. This should be read by every high school child no matter what level or type of school.

This was a really amazing book. Mia is an 18 year old senior who has always been bullied. She goes away to camp for the summer and learns how to become braver and unafraid of her bullies. She runs for class president and is bullied throughout the whole election. Mia thinks that she will lose, but she will be a winner. Not only will she won the election, but also the hearts of Oliver, Max, and Carter.

Naomi Martin is a great writer and I can not wait to read more of her work!!

This is what I love best about Naomi Martin....she writes the best bully romances! I really liked the characters, especially the boys and even the evil Sasha was a good character. I also liked the fact that this was very different from other bully romances in that the main evil bully was a girl and although the boys played small parts in the beginning, they were NOT the main bullies. The plot was really good and the story flowed well. Highly recommend

Mia attended leadership camp and since returning she’s decides to run for student council at Sapphire Bay and if she’s elected change the bulling in her school. Her biggest problem is she will be running against her biggest bully Sasha and her three running mates Oliver, Carter, and Max. This is my favorite of the series yet, I loved seeing the strength behind Mia’s character, and the topic was extremely well written. A wonderful story and one I highly recommend.

This was a wonderful story. I'm a big fan of reverse harem and bully romances and this story contained both. The story line was great and had me hooked from the very beginning and I enjoyed all the characters as well. I feel the message the story leaves you with about bullies is one of the most important parts of the story. Stories that give the reader a fun and exciting read but also leave a great message are the best!

Great book! 4.5 stars

I really enjoyed this book! Excellent character development of Mia, particularly her emotional growth, and just the right amount for Sasha and the boys; not so much up front, but just when it was needed. The portrayal & descriptions of the bullying hit the mark! Twists and surprises that were definitely unexpected. Book #3 in the series and is complete as a standalone. Fast-paced read with loads of drama, suspense and steam. This was my first book by Naomi Martin and am excited to read more.

This story really touched and bullying and how people are affected . In a world where we the most popular books are leaning towards Bully romance , it’s nice to see an author remind us of the ugly of it . The romance part of this book was quick with really no heat . The H just gave in to them in 5 seconds . Overall what stood out to me was the topic if Bullying and not the romance aspect .

Mia has changed since going to leadership camp and doesn’t plan on being bullied any longer. She decides to run for Student Council President and must deal with her past bullies, Carter, Max and Oliver. What will happen when sparks begin to fly between them? Fast-paced read with loads of drama, suspense and steam. Mia is strong and ready to take on the world. I liked it.

Who doesn’t love a bully in high. Me not a huge fan of due to the corruption and manipulation they have on those who worship the ground they walk on. This book has the romance for a bully who became a prince to the one person they least expected to fall for.

Mia has her hands full with her Sapphire Bay bullies! She’s running for class president against top queen bully Sasha. Now she has to over come and bring top bully boys, Max, Oliver and Carter. No matter how much they bully her, their sizzling attraction might be their downfall. So entertaining

This book brings home to people what bullies can do to others in the schools of today.
This shouldn`t be happening and causes a lot of problems with people in real life.
It really brings it home to people that have this problem in their lives.

I anticipated great things after reading the first two books in this series. I wasn’t disappointed. The story takes off with a bang. The characters are fascinating as ever. The play out even better than I thought it would be. The author did a wonderful job of making these characters realistic and believable. Great storytelling.

This is a very good book that involves bullying. Our heroine is a strong individual who wants to stop this type of abuse as she's been a victim of it herself. There is a possible HEA.
