Tara is a Pisces who survives on energy drinks, chocolate frappes and busting moves at Jazzicise for some me time.
Thatcher is a book that once you read it, you won't forget it anytime soon. It's book one in the Lords of Crestwood Prep series, and I'm so excited for the rest of the books in this series. This book was so intriguing that it hooked me right from the very beginning, and I did not want to put it down. There's drama, suspense, and plenty of plot twists. Thatcher and Remy will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. Make sure to check out this incredible start to what is sure to be a fantastic series.
I am obsessed with ‘Thatcher’ and can not wait to get my hand on the rest of the series! This book has set high expectations for the rest of the series. Rent and Thatcher had this instant connection and even though they were trying to deny it. Both characters are very well written as well as all the other future MCs mentioned in this novel. While the romance aspect of the novel was lovely the suspense and plot twists are why I love this book so much. I was completely enthralled when I was reading, and transformed into a couch potato to finish it in one sitting. It’s the perfect novel for any suspense romance or dark romance readers! 5/5 stars!
Remy and Thatcher have quite the love hate relationship they make an amazing couple. From beginning to end it keeps you on your toes wondering what's going to happen next. Not super spicy even though it does have it's spicy moments. All in all a good story.
Oh man was this book all kinds of goodness. This is the first book in a new series by these two arthur's and when I read the blurb I knew this was going to be my kind of book, because who doesnt love a bully, dark, suspense story with an alpahole, because Thatcher is all that in his sexy hotness and a triplett to boot hellz yes sign me up.
Remington Hearst is the new girl at Crestwood Academy and the target of Thatcher Vanderbilt and friend's also known as the Lords of Crestwood where nothing happens without their say so.
This book took off from the beginning and had me so engrossed in it I couldn't turn the pages fast enough with the thing's that kept happening one after another with Remy. There were some twists and turns and then one bomb drop at the end after another makes me wonder just what was Thornton and Rochelle up to. Hopefully in the next book we'll get some answers. Now I just need Reign's book to find out what secrets he's hiding.
Thatcher Vanderbelt and Remy Hearst may have some bad blood due to their parents, but that doesn't mean they can stay away from each other. This book has you on the edge of your seat with all the twists and turns at Crestwood Prep! I received an ARC, and this is my honest review.
I'm a goner for a good enemies to lovers that keeps you captivated and on the edge of your seat from start to finish, and Thatcher & Remy's story was exactly that and more! It's full of angst, tension, chemistry, steam and secrets revealed in unexpected twists, and oh how it is glorious!
Remy and Thatcher have an intense push and pull between them; he wants to make her life miserable and tormenting her while also being being drawn and addicted to her. She's such a queen tho and mostly gives as good as she gets while also can't help but feel something for him, ugh amazing!
The line between hate and love slowly starts to blurr and everything changes for these two. I love how both fall hard for each other and fight for it with everything they've got; I was hooked!
Wow, this book was intriguing. I was hooked from the first page and struggled to put it down.
Remy and Thatcher had a lot of baggage to unpack—both individually, and then, when they crossed the line from hate to love.
The secondary characters all had flaws but in the best possible way. They were all a little messed up and I. AM. HERE. FOR. IT.
This book was chock full of steam, suspense, mystery, and surprises. I was constantly on the edge of my chair, waiting for the other shoe to drop. And while yes, I still have unanswered questions, I know we might get some answers in the next installment.
I can't wait to see what Reign had in store for us!
This was my first book by this author. I loved the characters and love/ hate relationship they have going on. The story pulled me in and the writing was spot on. I definitely want to see where this author takes us with this series.
A great beginning to this series. These brothers are going to be addictive with all their broodiness and secrets and let’s not forget about all the questions I still need answers for
This is Thatcher's school and his kingdom. Thatcher and his brothers rule their school as "The Lords." Their secrets were theirs alone until Remington Hearst entered the picture. She hates him, and he despises her and what her family did. She needs to learn her place because she doesn't want to cross him. He will make them pay, especially Remy. This isn't a game she's prepared for, but then, neither was he.
Talk about being addicted from the start!!! If the first book was this good, I can't wait to see how the rest of the series plays out. The plot was truly intriguing as I stayed perched on the edge of my seat from the suspense. These ladies know how to write dark romance perfection. I highly recommend this read. This is my honest opinion, freely given.
The Lords of Crestwood Prep are known as they rule the school, and on their radar is Remy and they want revenge for what happened to their mother. Remy’s mother sent her to Crestwood Prep and there was no option, Remy learns quickly that she’s on the radar of the ‘Lord’s’ of the school particularly Thatcher, even though her body wants him she knows he’s bad and enough has happened in her life that she doesn’t need anymore. Remy knows there’s more to her brother’s suicide, but no one wants to listen to her, her other brother goes missing and her mother doesn’t even care. Remy just wants to go to school graduate and be done, but Thatcher seems to have other plans for her. Wanting Remy wasn’t in the plans for what Thatcher and his brother’s had planned for her, it was going to be a simple plan of revenge but things get complicated and more secrets come out.
DNF @ 16%. I am going to give up on this one. I simply can't listen to Thatcher talk about what a "god" he is in his head for one more second. He's such a "god" that the world bows down to him and his gang and he thinks about himself in those terms ad nauseum for this entire 16% so far. He resents that he must deign to keep the masses happy by giving chin nods to people he doesn't care to know because they are insignificant to his god status/life. Not to be alone in his power, there are other "gods": his brothers and friends - this is more of a Greek type god parallel because there is way more than one god on this campus but Thatcher is apparently, Apollo. They have first pick of any girl and nothing happens in the school without their sayso.... but also, he is so powerless that the only way he can get revenge on the adults that have wronged him in some way is to pick on a girl that has not wronged him in any way and is in fact morning the loss of her brother which he and his gang are fully aware of. Then his next thoughts are about how despite being the "god" of his high school, he is powerlessly under the thumb of his Zeus like father and better not get caught out after curfew. ITS RIDICULOUS. From one chapter to another he's either all powerful god or a powerless pawn and he doesn't even recognize the irony. I am done listening to his obnoxious headtalk. I can't take it.
Don't worry, to keep with all the bully romance clichés there is an evil Mom, too.
I'm only giving this 2 stars because MAYBE the FMC would have been interesting.
Thatcher, Hendrix, Saint, and Reign are the lords of Crestwood prep, they rule the school and when Remy comes back they make their mission to destroy her. What they have plan will ruin ther and her mother. Remy does not know what they upto after her brothers supposed suicide she is back and trying to figure out if he did it or not. When she gets a call from her other brother Grayson things for her start to get complicated. With Thatcher and his brothers and a stalker she can't figure out what to do. The more they show her what they instore they more their feelings get in the way. When something unexpected happens, and the boys father is killed, more secrets start to come out, and when Remy gets kidnapped Thatcher will do everything in his power to find, but when they do what other secrets will they uncover about her brothers and his father, and her mother. Will they find her before it's too late? Will they figure out everything or are they all doomed? How many more secrets do they left to find out? I was totally enthralled with this book. Sucked me right in and left me wanting to know everything. All the emotions,action, suspense, you will be blown away with everything and by the end you will be left waiting from the next to see what happens. So looking forward to more.
What a great way to start this series. We get to know all the main players that are going to move us into the next book.
Thatcher wants retribution for things that have been done to those he loves. Remy isn’t happy with her current situation. Our authors took me on an up and down ride and I loved it. I got to discover a new author and revisit another. So, trying to figure out what each author contributed to this story is not a concern. I just wanted to see that the characters were believable and how well the story moved along. By the end, I wanted to have that feeling of give me more.
I can see how I’m like the fly being drawn into the spider’s web. I kept watching to see what Thatcher was going to do and how Remy was going to respond. Then I get just enough of the other series characters, that they ensure how much I will need to read book two so that I can see if the secrets are going to continue my ride or will I decide it’s time to get off this train.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
This is the first in a new series, and this is Thatcher and Remington’s journey. Thatcher and his brothers rule Crestwood Prep, and when Remy comes into his sights, he is determined to get vengeance for what her family did. Remy is sweet and feisty, and she is more that capable of standing up for herself, and Thatcher may have just met his match. This is a well written action-packed, emotional roller coaster, enemies / lovers’ story, with secrets, family, friendships, vengeance, twists, humor, witty banter, and love, which leads to an entertaining, haunting, unpredictable, and steamy addictive page tuner. I look forward to reading more from these talented authors’ whose work I highly recommend.
Holly amazeballs Thatcher was everything alpha/swoon you could ask for.
MY MAN was so head strong and very alpha that Remy didnt stand a chance once she was on his Radar.
Remy was this sweet firery girl that stood up for her self and stood her ground when it came to Thatcher and his brothers.
The love and fire between Thatch and Rem is what made me love this book. The twists and turns and action that happens in this book makes you not want to put it down.
Thatcher will definitely give you a clit boner and hot under the collar. #thatcherismine #alltheVanderbeltsaremine #iclaimedthemall
Thatcher is a man who is used to getting what he wants and bending others to his will. He holds Remy responsible for the past and is determined to make her life as difficult as he can, but he is about to find out that she is unlike any woman he has met before.
Remy has her own family issues that she is dealing with so she isn’t about to back down from anyone or anything and that includes Thatcher however she never expected her defiance would bring him closer rather than pushing him away.
Surprises, suspense and steam as seeing the relationship unfold between Thatcher and Remy only leaves us wanting more of this series.
Thatcher is the first book from The Lords of Crestwood Prep series by Tara Lee and D.L. Gallie. It is also the first book from both authors that I have read. I loved reading and following Remy and Thatcher's enemies to lovers romance story. The other Lords of Crestwood added to the book and gets you hooked and ready for book two. I look forward to reading more from both of these authors. ~Dawn
A great beginning to this series. These brothers are going to be addictive with all their broodiness and secrets and let’s not forget about all the questions I still need answers for ~Jen
Twists. Turns. Chemistry and more. OK, first off Tara and DL hit this right of the park for the first book in this series! Thatcher is the first book in The Lords of Crestwood Prep and it sucked you in straight away, the characters were strong and definitely ruled the school. Remy was new to the school and Thatcher had his sights on revenge the moment she walked in BUT the twists and turns that happen as the story progresses keep you on your toes and wanting to see where it unfolds.
When I say this book had me on a chokehold I am not kidding! I don't know what it is about bully romance with a secret society element to it that get me every time but this one was no exception! Remy and Thatcher were like a moth to a fire to each other from the beginning that when they happened no one was shocked! Just when I thought I had figured out the drama more layers were left to unpack! The story was reminding me of k-drama Boys Over Flowers! And all the side characters! Love them! Knowing this is a series has me excited go get to see how everyone develops!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I devoured this book in one sitting without stopping… it was THAT good! I was expecting more bullying, but I was in no way disappointed. The suspense and mystery of who was stalking not only Remy, but also threatening Thatcher, had me hooked. I had my suspicions on who was doing it, BUT I was not expecting the depths this person went to and all the other huge revelations that were revealed in the end! I was shocked and I’m left needing to know more about Arlen, Reign and Rian! I only just finished book 1, but I already know this series is definitely a must read!
This book surprised me in the very best way. It took me a bit to get into, but all I can suggest is to stick with it. Nothing is as it seems. Honestly I still have so many thoughts whirling around my head, this was very cleverly done. Being a interconnected series there's not much I can expand on but let's just say I'm excited and already have a strong feeling this is not a series to be missed. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book.
Loved thatcher and remy's story and I devoured this book so fast. I always love a good enemies to lovers/bully romance and this was just awesome. So many secrets, twists and turns. Live how Remy stands up for herself even if she is still feeling the loss and doesn't back down. Thatcher has some issues but who doesn't. Can't wait for the rest for the series and to find out more secrets and unanswered questions!!
Thatcher is the first book from The Lords of Crestwood Prep series by Tara Lee and D.L. Gallie. It is also the first book from both authors that I have read. I loved reading and following Remy and Thatcher's enemies to lovers romance story. The other Lords of Crestwood added to the book and gets you hooked and ready for book two. I look forward to reading more from both of these authors.
