USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Tracy Lorraine brings you over 1,000 pages of heart-stopping angst, hot bullies, strong heroines, delicious football players, and knee-weakening HEAs. Welcome to Rosewood High... let the games begin...
Tracy Lorraine is a M/F and M/M contemporary romance author. Tracy has just turned thirty and lives in a cute Cotswold village in England with her husband, baby girl and lovable but slightly crazy dog. Having always been a bookaholic with her head stuck in her Kindle Tracy decided to try her hand at a story idea she dreamt up and hasn’t looked back since.
This was my first adventure with this author, and I am glad I did. I listened to the audiobooks and read it and am so glad that I did. The narrators do an amazing job with all the characters.
At first i want to say that I love Smut, i love the kind of lovestorys, which just entertain you and give you a good spoon of spice and I also really love a good Bad Boy. And the Rosewood High books can give you all of that, but only if you switch off all your morals. Because what I didn‘t saw coming, is that these books are full of sexual abuse. It gets worse and worse. It seems like the ‘‘Bad Boys‘‘ can only be bad if they touch the female main character without consent, rip their clothes off without consent and so on. For me it doesn‘t matter that the women always ‘‘wants it secretly“, it‘s still without consent. I read the whole series because yes, the series is very entertaining, but i really cannot agree with the trope of a women being sexual abused and then fall in love with the guy who did this to her. But it’s not only that, this books are full of misogyny, and very much other stuff, I frequently freaked out about. I think this books could be teaching people normalizing things like that and this is very dangerous, particulary for young girls. So I think if you can‘t deal with this kind of content, or it just doesn‘t get along with your morals, I really recommend you to not start this series. Otherwise, if you can ignore morals for the time of reading, enjoy the books.

Books 1-4 here in this bundle and boy what a world they come from! I liked each story better than the last and that is totally OPPOSITE of how it usually goes for me. I normally only end up loving the 1st and the rest are lame. Nope! Not with Tracy Lorraine! She grew as a writer and it’s obviously to see. Each story became richer, more in-depth and make me read a bit faster. The story line and steam? Yummy! I’m getting ready to read 5-7 so I can FINALLY go back to my Madison U & Knights’ world. I kept snagging on people from the past so finally decided to just start from the beginning and I’m so glad I did! It’s answered some questions on who is who and introduced us to our future book characters. I did the audible book at time as well and just couldn’t get behind either narrator and root for them. I don’t know which male I didn’t love & not familiar with either do won’t say names but Rachel Woods had such a thick midwestern accent at times that it threw me right out of the story. I read more than I listened as the voices just didn’t fit for me. Overall, a great read!
****Rosewood High #1-4 by Tracy Lorraine: Overall good! All these stories have parental drama, which causes a lot of the negative baggage. While these stories can be read as stand-alones, they all feature the same group of friends.
****Thorn #1: This story was pretty good, but the H/h connection felt somewhat lacking. I loved Amalie, but Jake was a bit of a tool! It heats up as “hate” falls into love, and hearts open up. Nice HFN.
*****Paine #2: There’s a lot of raw emotion in this story. Parents who mess up, kids who deal with the painful fallout. Also, love and friendships, mean girls and tough girls. Very good.
****Savage #3: Overall enjoyable story, with bullying, and heat. The angst got a little repetitive before a final HFN. Likable characters and a good pace.
****Fierce #4: This story has lots of feels. Bitterness, regrets, complications, love, and pain… somewhat repetitive ups and downs — with roller coaster emotions. Also, lots of steam. PTATORS
I screwed up and read the Maddison Kings University books first before I read the Rosewood High...🤦🏻♀️ Is it doable..yes..would I recommend it..no. I wish I would have started with Rosewood, it would have answered a bunch of questions I had about the background characters in Maddison Kings...all good though. These stories of course were top notch amazing. I've come to expect nothing less from Lorraine.
This 4 book boxset by Tracy Lorraine is the beginning of some of the most memorable characters I’ve ever read. The heroes and heroines have amazing stories and chemistry. You are hooked from the first pages in Thorn. Each story keeps getting more epic than the previous. This is one not to be missed!
I read a few of the books already but listening to them I loved them. Loved all 4 books, the guys relationships and the women they found. Only one I not sure of was Shane story, I felt like he deserved better.
Mason is still my favourite book now I finished 5 of them.
I'm a huge fan of Tracy Lorraine and these books DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The boys of Rosewood High are just the right about of smolder, sex appeal, and loyalty. Enjoyed every minute reading it, couldn't put it down until I read all four stories.
All the books were good. However, my favorite was the story of Jake and Amalie! The fact that all of the characters are in the books and link together are great. You get to see how they are doing and growing as a couple (with the people they choose)! Starting the second set of the series now. I can't wait to see how it goes and plays out. It should be good.
A great start to the series by having the first four books of Rosewood High together. I basically couldn't stop and had to keep listening. The stories grab you and keep you hooked from beginning to end. The narrators do such an amazing job that I could picture myself there as I was listening.
Captivating, page turner, intriguing. Loved this series my favorite has to be Ethan and Rae! It gets a little predictable but each story is unique enough in its own way to keep you entertained!
I fell in love with each book in this series! It just got better and better! Oddly Chelsea and Shane’s story had me all all torn up! I didn’t see that coming! I would recommend this box set to anyone! It was incredible!
She was head cheerleader with a haunting past that caused her to do questionable things. He was blamed for some of the acts 5hat she had done. He was dead set on making her pay for it but he just couldn't get her off his mind or out of his heart.
These 4 incredible stories had me emotionally invested right from the start. Once i got started i found it so hard to stop. Tracy your writing is absolutely awesome these characters have so much life to each of them and their storylines are all so gripping now its time to read the next in the series. Totally on a tracy's book bingefest this weekend.
I love Tracy’s writing style. Sexy Alpha Bullies and the Badass women who tame them. Every time I ended a book, I missed that couple. But then fell in love with the next couple even more. She entwines real life issues with sexy alphas, in an enemies to lovers romance that is Steamy AF!
