Bully Mate
Claire Summers is finally free of her bullied high school life and living on her own while she attends college. Finally free of her prison, she thinks her troubles are over until her high school bully shows up and crashes her chances of enjoying her college years.
Axel Davers realizes as soon as he steps into his first college class that his mate is in the room. However, it blindsides him when he sees Claire Summers, the one girl he loathed in high school, sitting there with a rebellious snarl on her face.
Not only did he hate her growing up, but she's also human and doesn't know anything about supernaturals. Knowing he has no choice but to pursue his mate, he finds it more challenging than ever to break down that wall he built when he bullied her years before.
When lycans begin to terrorize the neighboring packs and the college campus, Axel finds himself doing whatever it takes to protect his mate. However, Claire hates seeing him, and even if she feels an invisible pull, she pushes him away until she breaks.
She never realized that Axel held so many secrets, and when they come to light, her entire existence flips upside down, and she's bombarded with a truth she never knew was real.

How could this story be only 54 episodes, I even want to know more about Claire and Axel's development. I don't think any girl who likes mature guys can say no to Axel. Please let me shout, this story really brought me many surprises.

Okay this one was actually good. Quite unexpected. From other reviews I thought it would be those amateur wattpady author types.. Well it was kind of wattpady but a good kind of wattpady. The author has potential for sure.
I was surprised how the characters are very real and down to earth. It was not over the top wannabe types where the characters constantly make irritating decisions. But instead we see normal and relatable traits. It was low on angst factor though.. I expected a little bit more. The tone was light and sometimes a little funny as well. The H was convincing as reformed bully and I liked how he outright accepted his bad behavior and apologised. He knew he had to work for gaining his mate's trust and he owned up to it. I liked the h too. She was bullied but she is actually strong and has personality more than any other fated mate heroines who try too hard to be unique. Instead the author here made the h a simple yet strong girl who has a backbone and is behaving and reacting like a normal college going girl should. For example when the Lycan attacks her and she discovers about werewolves, she contemplates leaving the university... Which is actually what a normal human being would do. It's a breath of fresh air to see down to earth characters in a college NA based book nowadays. Otherwise you only get the same old pre-determined character tropes tried and tested in every other NA book- manwhore, college slut, virgin doormat, the quintessential"I am not like other girls" annoying one, the ostracised and bullied with TSTL characterics... The "I am a feminist so I will sleep with every guy that breathes". and so on.... You get the drift.
It also lacked on the heat factor. I would have loved more sizzling chemistry between the H/h and some more eroticism into the sex scenes. It's a werewolves story come on.. It should burn the pages.
Anyway. The only problem in the book is editing and writing coaching. The author sometimes skips from third person narrative to first person. And sometimes its not clear who is who while describing a scene.. Minor inconsistencies which can be avoided by professional proof reading and editing.

Story 5 stars / Editing 1 stars = average 3 stars
So many books are ruined by lack of an editor, or maybe just a decent one. Heck, run it through an ARC site to get feedback. Is it really hard to get names correct? At one point, the FMC Claire is called Delaney, and the first time you’re introduced to Axel’s mom she says her name is Sydney which is actually the coffee shop manager and her name is in fact Grace. Then of course, there’s spelling character’s names incorrectly, and when one brother is called by the other’s name. There were minor typos I could deal with, but these... USE AN EDITOR! Heck, email me on Goodreads, and I'll edit the book for free, it was a really great story. Although, I guess I sort of did, as I reported everything on the Kindle App.
I really did enjoy the story. I liked how Axel worked to earn Claire's trust. I did think the Cat was a little too all over the place, I mean, at first she was pro-Axel, then anti-Axel, and towards mid-book she seemed anti-Claire. I liked that I couldn't figure out who the big-bad was since too often I know the whole story before I'm even halfway in. I loved how Claire eventually had to save herself because that's what women really want. We want a guy to back us up, but to let us save ourselves. I read this in one sitting, but fortunately, I'm off tomorrow so...
I think the last two chapters should have been titled differently since they are really just setting up book 2.

Great story
It kept me guessing by introducing characters and leaving me wondering how they tied in and who was the lycan terrorizing the campus. So it’s a werewolf romance
The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 was because of a major name fumble which caused me major confusion and had me rereading what I had just read in an effort figure out if I misread a killing scene in chapter 51 on page 292 (maybe the 26th paragraph of the chapter) in my kindle app. Without giving too much away, the author used the name Tristan instead of Jaxton in a key scene. Unless the author reads my review and fixes this mistake, you will understand when you get there. I’m including

Bully mate
Enjoyed this book. I wouldn’t say this is a bully romance, it talks of bullying but no actual bully apart from on flashback scene. No cheating, Hea and all the characters are likeable. The writing is good and capturing. This is the first book I’ve read by Georgia and I’m looking forward to reading some of her other books.

It's well written, but the guy literally says he's stuck with the h because they're mates so he has no option but to pursue a relationship with her. It soured the whole thing. That's not romantic in the least.

Never believe that I would be immersed in such a story, you know, I have always been a person who likes gentle mates. So when I saw the title of Bully mate in Readict, I didn't have any expectation. But it's really such an attractive story that I even changed my ideal type.

Good read
I liked everything about this book. It has everything you need, action, love, hate, but just when it gets exciting it leaves you hanging. I can't stand that! You have to.wait until the other part comes out, by then you have forgotten about it.

Engaging
I truly enjoyed this book. It is not overly mushy, had just the right amount of suspension and backstabbing. Love that it segwayed into the next book.
Great read!!

Bully turned mate with a twist. Throw in Lycan King and some witches and you have a good story.
February 1, 2025
interesting enough but there are many grammar errors as a result of the translation and the book ends on a cliffhanger at ch 54. unknown if there is a second book or if the book is in progress...

I really enjoyed this book. I found it on Readict
It's a sort of enemies to lovers book about a warewolf who finds out his mate is "human" but shes the girl he used to bully so he has to prove hes sorry and has changed

Jfc if the shitty photoshopped cover didn't make me want to my bury my fist in someone's face the hideous premise would seal the deal like an envelope big enough to fit the planet in. I can't believe I'm saying this but the bottom-feeders of modern online "books" have taken one theme from the historic romance genre, reduced it down to its lowest concept - much like I imagine people on those TV shows everyone seems to like boil toxic drugs down into a dirtier, cheaper, more caustic version to sell to poor people - and hacked out this bullshit in droves.
I'm an old fan of historical romance as I used to read them in high school, and let me tell you this shit should not be mentioned in the same breath as those books. A good deal of those had actual historical research in them, a coherent plot and, most essentially, effort. This is the opposite of that.
These are written, if you even want to use that word, by multiple people/hacks/algorithms, and by Christ does it show. If reading a book is listening to voices taking turns to tell you a story, this is like being trapped in a restaurant booth while busting for a bathroom and listening to half a dozen people you hate telling the same story in different voices, tempos and volumes. I don't actually know how one would read this tripe and gain anything positive from the experience, assuming you could even follow everything that was supposedly going on.
We all read things with bad behaviour and concepts in them so we can indulge a small part of our psyches in safety and without damaging our real lives. But shit like this isn't a bad concept dressed up in fiction so we can try it on without having to buy it and wear it. It's so bare and bad that it feels like just trying it on may glue it to your skin.
I weep for the concept of reading comprehension after this. All I can do is hope fervently that the girls reading this garbage have enough innate sense to separate the concepts of romance and love from the idea of having something supremely fucking stupid like "fate" validate being bullied into any type of relationship with an abuser that does not involve a bailiff and bulletproof glass.
We're better than this, ladies. You can find indulgence for the desire to read about surly men slowly falling in love with you in so many other places, and it will be a much better and richer experience, trust me.
As for you, the legion listed as Georgia St. James, find anything else to do with your time. The world doesn't need your garbage.
