My whole life, I’ve been groomed as American royalty, raised to be the perfect daughter of the wealthy elite.
On my sixteenth birthday, my father bought me an Aston Martin.
And on my seventeenth birthday, the Feds took everything away.
With my father in prison for fraud and nothing left to our name, my mom and I are forced to move to a tiny house across town, and I transfer to Slateview Public.
The only problem is, nearly everyone at my new school has reason to despise my family name. They want to see a princess brought low, and they’ll do whatever it takes to make me fall.
Money was the language of my old world, but violence is the language of my new one. The only way I’ll survive until graduation is to make a deal with three gorgeous, dangerous devils—the ones everyone calls the Lost Boys.
If I accept their bargain, Bishop, Misael, and Kace will protect me.
But they’ll own me too.
This is the complete Slateview High series, a dark reverse harem high school romance. It contains mature themes, high steam, and some violence.
Boxed set includes: LOST BOYS WILD GIRL MAD LOVE Over 200,000 words of steam, betrayal, and mystery!
Eva Ashwood has been a reader her whole life and a writer for several years. She loves telling stories of alpha males and the fierce women who bring them to their knees.
She's a sucker for reverse harem, bully romance, enemies to lovers, heroes who redeem themselves, and all the drama and passion of new adult love.
Slateview High is an RH series about a senior girl named Cordelia (Cora for short) whose millionaire father is arrested for fraud. Her and her mother have to rent a house in a lower class area because all of her father's assets are locked down while he's awaiting trial.
While there, she meets three boys who offer to take her under their protection so long as she's "theirs". She falls in love with them and they with her as she tries to help get the false charges against her father dropped.
The series was okay. Not super suspenseful, but the RH between her and the guys was sweet and sexy.

The author's note says it all: Over 200,000 words of steam, drama, and explosive chemistry! "I grew up among Baltimore's elite, but my family's fall from grace ripped me away from a life of wealth and privilege and thrust me into a world of violence and depravity. In this school, the teachers fear the students, and three boys rule the halls." Cora's family's fall from grace lands her at a school with three boys I wished I went to high school with. They are beautiful, dominate and have a strong connection with Cora from the very beginning. I was expecting more of a bully romance but was pleased to find it wasn't at all. As soon as Cora makes the deal to have the Lost Boys protection from other students it jumps right to steam. I wasn't mad about that either. I loved how the boys showed a softness and sweetness just towards Cora that made me swoon and once again ask myself where were these boys when I went to high school? I don't know if the author plans on writing more from this world with other characters, but I'd be absolutely thrilled if she did. 5 stars because I will read again and again.
Absolutely love the Slateview High books by Eva Ashwood 😍
It's a dark higschool reverse harem romance that definitely stands out from the pack. My favorite things about this series are:
-- The girl comes from $$ and the guys don't -- I feel like this is rare in this genre and it's usually the opposite. Let me know if you have read other series like this!! I loved it
-- heat and chemistry off the charts
-- The ending is soooo satisfying. One of my favorite endings I've ever read. I finished and my heart was like 🥰💖🙏🏻😭🔥💕😍💜🤗💫🎆
A great, action packed packed reverse harem bully romance
This action packed reverse harem bully romance takes you on a wild ride of teenage bullies, engines, friends, love, crime and more. It’s an absolute page turner that I couldn’t put down. I read start to finish of this series in one sitting. Grab yours now and... Enjoy!
I absolutely loved this series, and how convenient to have the two in one volume!!!! If you are a fan of Eva, you definitely need this collection in your library.
Lost Boys:
I have been looking forward to Lost Boys ever since it has been on my radar. And it was every bit worth the wait. The story is fast paced, the characters you will have a love to hate them feeling, and Cora is about to show us just what she is made of.
I do not want to give to much away, so I will give an overview. We have our main female lead Cora. She has grown up with the world at her feet. Everything she could possibly need or want given to her. On her 17th birthday, all that changed. Her father was arrested and they lost everything. After moving out of the huge house she grew up in, she has moved to a new house and a new school. There everyone knows her last name, everyone knows what her father has done. And everyone hates her. Especially the Lost Boys. At first they set out to make her life hell, and then things change. They want to own her. The more she is around them, the more she wants them to own her. But they are keeping secrets, secrets that could get her hurt. And then there is the question, is her father guilty? What will she do to find out the truth!
I cannot say enough about how fast I read Lost Boys. From the moment that they met I was hooked. Their dynamic, back and forth, hate/lust attraction had me completely hooked. The guys Bishop, Misael and Kace own that school. Make no mistake, they own Cora as well.
Wild Girl:
Wild Girl starts off right where Lost Boys leaves off. We know the big cliffhanger that was, what will happen to the boys for protecting their girl? Will this bring them closer together or tear them apart? Can Cora enlist the Lost Boys in helping her clear her dad, or will she be forced to find a way on her own. Possibly putting herself and her boys in more danger? Prepare for some answers.
I devoured Wild Girl, and even re-read right away. It was just that good. So much happens here, that I had to do a another read so I could process everything. I loved it guys, just loved it.
Cora, she is getting closer to the guys, especially with what happened. They protected her and she is determined to protect them. She is such a loyal person and that really draws me to her. Even though she may be finding out that her dad may not be as innocent as she thought. She still loves and wants to help him. Her devotion to the guys, and their chemistry is just as hot as the first book.
The Lost Boys, Bishop, Kace, and Misael, yeah are just as alpha and protective of their girl as in the first book. Maybe even more so. There is nothing that they will not give her. They take care of her, and watch out for her. I love their dynamic together.
We get to meet Nathaniel here, and we have a new player at the school. One who is not afraid of the boys. What role will he play? There is so much that Cora does not know, but she will. And that ending, yeah there is a cliffhanger but I believe not a bad one. Just sets us up for Mad Love.
Mad Love:
What a bittersweet ending to a series that has captured my interest from the start. I have rooted for Cora since book one, and here in Mad Love everything we have been through with these characters comes to conclusion here.
In Mad Love Cora is back with her dad and a fiancée. One she does not want, for she is still firmly with her lost boys. She will do what she can to keep them in her life. But thank fully the boys love her just as much and make it known that they will not give up on what is theirs.
Overall this series is a must have for any Eva fan, I would highly recommend this book and series. Really anything by this author I would recommend. I will say that I wish we could have gotten a look into the future of what Cora and her guys look like a year, 5 years or even 10 years down the road. Would have liked to see a little lost boy or lost little girl in the picture. But Mad Love was still an awesome read, that is just my wish to have made the book 100% perfect.
Cora is the sheltered daughter of Baltimore social elite. Her world comes crashing down when her father is arrested and put in jail, all his assets frozen. Cora and her mother have to move across to a town to dilapidated rental house. Cora has to go to the public school there, where she is hated by everyone. Three boys, called the Lost Boys, Bishop, Kace, and Misael, offer her protection, if she will be theirs.
It’s called a dark romance, but I didn’t find it that dark. I wouldn’t even really say it is hate to love because the hate doesn’t go on that long. There is no dubious or non consent. The character’s ages aren’t given until the last book. We just know they are seniors in high school. There are some very hot sex scenes, not many in the first book, but they pick up in the second and third. It’s definitely an erotic novel. This contains recreational use of marijuana and underage alcohol use but no other drugs.
Cora is strong. She discovers her inner strength because of what she goes through and grows across the story. She’s a fighter and holds her own with the boys. I liked all three boys and very much appreciated that they all have distinct personalities and differences. It always bothers me that many menage romances have lead men that are basically clones of each other.
This is fast paced read with a lot of drama. I’m glad all the books are packed into one because they really are one. The last paragraph of the first connects to the first paragraph of the next without any introduction. I wouldn’t really call the “endings” cliffhangers because the current action has wrapped up. We just don’t have all the story yet. There is a satisfying full ending at the end of the third book. There isn’t an epilogue with future scenes, but I didn’t think it was needed. The characters go through enough that you know what will happen in their future.
I loved this. It was a perfect blend of story and erotica. 5 stars because I would read it again.
1st person past tense, all from Cora’s perspective. The dialogue is often in the next paragraph after the action sequence. It’s weird but consistent. Might be done for style effect. It didn’t bother me. This is very well edited. I only found 2 errors, which is amazing.
Review for book two and three Well what can I say except… WOW Cordelia became theirs in every way They didn’t want her part of there world and now she’s in it The shock of finding out her mother’s betrayal towards her father But more so the shock of the boys finding out her plans to get her father out of prison When they’re forced to come clean about what they partook in, they made a deal, not with the devil, but all the same Then her father is released from prison She goes back to her old life, but it’s not the same She thought her father would change his ways, but he didn’t, only solidifying his business ties to make himself look good. His word is law and he’ll do whatever is necessary to rule with an iron fist, even if means controlling Cordelia to an extent She’s become a pariah back at her old school, she doesn’t fit in, so lost, not confused, but angry, it’s all just a façade When she’s forced into an arranged marriage of convenience for the purpose of business, it strikes a cord deep in her heart, causing her to lash out to her parents, who don’t seem to care. But there are those working behind the scenes, double crossing and backstabbing each other to get the upper hand. And then the truth comes out about her father, how foolish of her to believe that she would risk everything for him, but no more, she’s done, and she tells Barrett rightfully so. This book has it all romance, love, friendship, bullying, murder, madness, mayhem, twists, turns, trust, truths and betrayal. This book will take you on a wild ride, and will have you turning page after page. This book had me from beginning to end. This author knows how to write and I’ll be coming back for more. And those MF, MFM and MFMM s*x scenes were downright steamy, off the charts and had all of the feels. That ending though was bittersweet and a happily ever after well deserved!
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🌶️🌶️🌶️ I thought this was a very fast moving, captivating and sweet ending story. BUT I would probably recommend it more for the folks in their 20s maybe 30s. I'm 47 and some of it was a little immature, and younger minds would enjoy it. Granted these situations would probably be handled in a similar manner. Maybe with more mature thinking behind the thought process and minor decisions that were made throughout the story. I gave it ⭐⭐⭐⭐ and let me explain why. There was too much extra unnecessary detail in thoughts and feelings that came across as redundant. I would've enjoyed more information in the important stuff. For instance, more conversations with Josephine, more detail in the "in-between" happenings, more detail in the wedding stuff, and definitely more of them settling into their new life. I truly feel if the unnecessary, pardon my French, bullshit 3 pages of a thought that could've been said in 5 sentences... There would've been more of the interesting stuff added with the same amount of words! Honestly, I really like this story. Don't take anything I said above to mean I didn't. I just wanted to help others understand this review and know what to expect if they are like-minded 😎
So... I've read this series multiple times and as much as he darker and Dirty Savages by the same author is again darker .. Lost Boys is my soft spot!
I love the growth of Cora watching her come into her own. I think she is relatable as no matter where your from, what money your family has or doesn't have we often worry what they think it in some cases family are the people hurt us the most and that is definitely portrayed in this series.
Bish, Kace and Miseal Armenian as the lost boys in school, they rule it and make a deal with Cora for their protection soon leads into more...
Only thing is would say is I missed hearing about Cora friend Jessica and Liam towards the end they weren't mentioned at all but they played quite a part in her life with the boys... But that's my only little moan.
I devoured this series in one day!! I'm glad I got the three books in one and didn't have to stop and download in between.
The writing was addicting and the author kept you intrigued and wanting more. Cora is an elite in her world and then it comes crashing down and she's slumming it while her family is figuring everything out.
She was trying to stay low and out of site but that's not possible with who she is. The lost boys owned her and she didn't know what that was going to entitle. The least thing any of them expected was their to be chemistry and attraction. This story keeps you on your toes and guessing. Enjoyed this story and will be reading more from this author
I love the gang (ish) element of this book without it being overpowering. Cora’s dad is sent to prison for fraud and so her and her mom have to move to the ‘bad parts of town’ and she has to transfer to public school where a lot of the students have been affected by Cora’s dad therefore painting a target on her back. There’s light bullying but The Lost Boys instantly offer her their protection and exchange she will be ‘theirs’. It doesn’t take long for them to see Cora is not the prissy Princess they expected her to be. Cora and The Lost Boys hit a few bumps in the road but they do whatever they have to in order to protect each other. I would’ve loved an epilogue or to see more of an ‘after’ than we got but overall I loved the series!
I'm fairly new to Reverse Harem, and what I've read so far has been in the shifter, fantasy or fantasy-like settings. This one sucked me in and kept me going so much so that after finishing I went on to binge two other series by Eva Ashwood. I do wish we had gotten a bit more on page of Cora with the boys in the school setting or while being together and building their relationship - felt like there was a like of telling instead of showing. I also would have loved Cora to take a stand sooner with her father than she did, but it was more fitting for her character that she reacted how she did. Definitely recommend this one and can't wait to read more of her series.
This series is freaking amazing! If you have yet to read this series, you are missing out. Be prepared to hold your breath and freak out with this series. You follow Cordelia on the road to self discovery and the men she meets to help her get there. Bishop, Kace, and Miseal are heart breaking bad boys that run Slateview High, so when Cordelia shows up they decide to help her get settled. Little do the all know what is in store for them. So much happens that it will make your head spin and the heat level is off the charts hots. Don't miss out on this series.
This author totally has a new fan with me after reading this book. I was absolutely enthralled with this story. Also I kinda wanna steal coras men and keep them to myself. This was extremely well written and had me hooked right away the author has a way with words and honestly I'm a bit of a book snob so if something isn't well written and entertaining enough to keep me engaged I tend to not want to finish reading I almost never leave reviews ( shame on me but I'm lazy tbh) but this was so good I had to 5 star and review.
Overall, I loved the group as a functioning whole, dating each other. They were protective and fierce for each other. Cora learned to toughen up and the boys learned how to love outside of their little group.
I would have liked to see more of the bullying aspect of the story- I didn’t feel like the boys and Cora had enough of that before getting together. I would have loved more time with their friends, Liam and Jessica, as well as seeing them interact more with Nathaniel & Josephine, and Claudio.
*****Slateview High - The Complete Series by Eva Ashwood: an steamy/entertaining story There’s a lot of orgasms in this series, so consider yourself warned... this is a steamy love story with outside challenges and dangers, and all the feels. The love relationship is angsty initially, then overall solid/have your back, with mostly good communications and problem resolutions — which is refreshing because there is limited whining/stupid secrets. I enjoyed this series, and the very nice HEA/wrap up. —PTATORS
I like the series. It had a nice storyline and I enjoyed the main characters, although Cordelia did seem woefully naive at times. My only complaint is I needed a little more of something. Like the enemies part was extremely brief, and there were some characters that I wished had a little more retribution served in the end. Also, an epilog is always a nice way to wrap things up and let readers know what's going on with the characters they are invested in after 3 books.
This complete series about a young woman from a wealthy family, finds herself having to live in a poor neighbourhood with her mother after her father is imprisoned. The new school Cora must attend highlights how hated her father is with his unethical dealings, and by default, the students hate Cora and make life difficult. Enter the List Boys, who will protect her, although they will own her. Action, betrayal, murder and live. Well worth reading.
I loved this series! A now it’s in a box set it’s even better!! I loved the FMC Cordelia she’s such a tough, resilient and intelligent character. I enjoyed watching the growth at all the characters throughout all the book’s. I loved watching the development of Cordelias relationships with her men grow. These books had everything romance, suspense ad intrigue and the heat was of the freaking charts!!
Cora is daughter to a rich man until the day her worl comes crashing down amd daddy goes to jail amd she must move woth her mom to rougher side of town. While at her new school she encounters the lost boys who decide to protect her at a cost. Introduced to a new world she cora learns who she really is and let herself have what she wants and right now thats Kace , Bish amd Misael.
Where do I start? I loved this, every last word. There wasn't anything campy or anything that didn't fit within the story. I couldn't get enough, I'm usually harsh on books, this blew me away. I've found a new favorite author. Loved the Lost Boys, and they love their Coralee. 5+ stars
Another amazing book series! I love that this big grumpy rough guy, has the biggest heart and his love for her is so tender! Kace may not talk much but he shows his love for her through actions and affection. Great ending, I wish that Coralee(amazing nickname btw) would flip off her mom just once on the way out of the church.

Eva Ashwood is very quickly becoming a favorite author of mine. I love how Cora develops and finds her inner strength. The character development and plot was good. I loved the flow of the story.
Absolutely love the Slateview High books by Eva Ashwood and I literally devoured this series in one day .this series literally kept us on our toes through the whole thing . Cora ,Bishop, Kace, and Miseal I love their love story between all of them and it ended with a great love ending .
Ava did it again with this series, having the entire series in this box set kept the cliffhangers at bay and the story flowing freely. Cora and the Lost Boys grew so much throughout the series, the character development was great! I couldn’t put this one down
Loved this story and the growth of Cora throughout the series. The boys were so protective and sweet with her almost from the beginning. Though there was drama and some semi dark elements it wasn't within their group which was nice to see. Highly recommend.
This series was great. Not only exciting and well written, but I really enjoyed reading from the prospective of public school as opposed to the private preppy stuff that I normally find. Great characters, captivating storyline, and the perfect amount of smut!
They are enemies because of her father. Then something happens they become lovers, and a bit more. This story has a happy ending, but a lot of relationships growth to get there. It was a enjoyable read.
