Publisher's Summary
I never claimed to be a good girl, but I definitely never asked for this.
Killian, Tristian, and Rath.
These three men are a part of my past - one that I'd rather never look in the eye again. In high school, they knew my secrets and I knew theirs. They had power and I had nothing. The night everything fell apart, my stepbrother allowed his two best friends to take their rage out on me while he watched. While they laughed.
But what happened that night wasn’t my biggest secret. So I ran, planning on never coming back.
Three years later I’m standing on their doorstep like a stray. They’re more powerful than ever now, having risen to the rank of Lords at Forsyth University. But I’m still on the run and there's another monster chasing me down.
What could bring me back into their lives, their homes, and ultimately, their beds?
Fear.
Shame.
Desperation.
Killian, Rath, and Tristian aren’t the only ones who want me. There’s someone far more dangerous out there who's been stalking me since I left town the first time. Someone who makes the evil I know feel less dangerous than the evil I don’t.
But being their Lady is more than just fancy clothes and reputation.
I might be under their protection, but I’m also at their mercy.
And there's nothing a Lord loves more than taking control.
Warning: This book is a Dark/Bully romance. It contains graphic content of abuse and assault that some listeners may be particularly sensitive to. If you have triggers or are even remotely unsure, please heed the note at the beginning of this book.
The Royals of Forsyth University is a three-book, reverse harem series:

Ten years ago, The Harlequin Boys broke my heart. I thought my life was complete with them at my side, the five of us against the world, having each other’s backs no matter what the cost. I’d fight for them until my dying breath. It’s just a shame they didn’t feel the same. Once upon a time, my imperfect world shone bright with the light of four boys I would have killed for. This is the story of how they destroyed me.

The rabbit's foot sways in the car, a bad omen that I choose to ignore. Her innocent face and offer for a ride are too tempting.

As we speed toward the border, emotions I thought I was incapable of stir within me. What will happen when we reach our destination? Will I let her go, or will I keep her by my side forever? The game has just begun, rabbit.

My father was once a powerful player in the Chicago underground, but six years ago, he left that life behind. We changed our names. Our identities. Our lives. The ghosts of the past never forgot him, though. They never forgot me. Dad promised me we were safe, but I should’ve known that was just another one of his lies. The past always finds you, and mine finds me on my wedding day when four brutal, dangerous men drag me from the altar in a hail of gunfire. Four men who used to be four boys. Four boys I cared about. Four boys I left behind.

According to the FBI, I was considered a serial murderer after three kills. What do they call me after fifty-two? They call me the Silencer. One final bullet would have been all it took to stop me from taking another soul, and I would have been doing Meridian City a service by pulling that trigger. An angel crying for help stopped me, and that night, I took three lives for her. Then three turned into eight. Then eight turned into twenty. Twenty turned into twenty-one. Twenty-one turned into twenty-three.

Three years ago, a darkly handsome stranger stole my heart. After one night together, I was certain I’d found my fated mate—until he rejected me and disappeared like a shadow. I never told anyone about that night. I shoved the shattered pieces of my soul into a locked box and pretended I'd never met Kian. But when a witch whispers a dire warning in my ear one day, everything changes. Because I don’t just have one mate. I have three. Feral shifters, she calls them. Wild, untamed, and fueled by darkness, created by a magic no one has ever seen before.

Trauma nurse Aly Cappellucci doesn’t need any more kinks. She likes the one she’s landed on just fine. To her, nothing could top the masked men she follows online. Unless one of those men was shirtless, heavily tattooed, and waiting for her in her bedroom. She dreams about being hunted by one in particular, of him chasing her down and doing deliciously dark things to her willing body. She never could have guessed that by sending one drunken text, those dreams would become her new reality.

In Fairview Heights, there’s one rule everyone knows. Don’t cross the Black Rose gang. Not if you want to live. My father broke that rule. Now he owes the notorious Black Roses a favor, and to make sure he pays up, they’re taking me as collateral. Until Dad completes whatever job they gave him, three gang members will be my keepers. Sloan, Rory, and Levi. The boss’ son. The man with a secret. The flame from my past. They’re all dominant, cocky, and hot as hell, and I know from personal experience that one of them is a damn good lay.

Interesting bully romance
I enjoyed this, though I hesitate when there are scenes with high schoolers. Most of it is taking place in a college and that makes it a bit more barable.
Check triggers before going into this one, it can be rough at times.

Deliciously sinister
I have been looking for a bully romance book that is this good for months. As sinister, or even more with the psychological trauma as the physical situation the lead finds herself in.
If you like bully romances that DON’T have a HEA then this book is for you - warning it’s not a self contained book it ends on a bit of a cliffhanger

It’s fine
It was fine… I don’t really know what else to say about the story. I hate not finishing books so I powered through to the end. I doubt I’ll read the next. Im mildly curious about how the guys can be redeemed. Im mildly curious about Ted. But I literally can’t stand story.
I don’t know if it was the voice actors, or the story… but I just couldn’t care about any of the characters much.
I like dark romance. The darker the better. Dubious and non consent I’m a-ok with. But something about how this story approached it was gross? Maybe the HEAVY virginal aspects? It felt like she was a child being taken advantage of by grown men. And even further than the heavy heavy heavy virginal tones of the story (literally how often can it be thrown into a story?) the writing made her mental and emotional state seem like she was a child. It was just, icky.., lol
The male voices were SOOOOO pompous it was hard to handle lol. I expect that for the “villain” in the story. But trying to get caught up in the love I ate rest sounding like a snively frat boy was really rough.
I guess I just had higher expectations as this came highly recommended and I don’t really get it.

Not a romance
This is cruelty, rape and mind games that don’t profit the heroine. If you are hoping for a villain changing because of love, nope! I regret taking the 2 for 1 special on this series.

I wish 0 stars was a possible rating.
As expected, this book is garbage. I promised I’d give bully romances a try and this was the one recommended to me most. But it’s beyond terrible and I’m done. Even the hot sex scenes don’t make up for the rest of the drivel. And I’m sorry but the male narrator couldn’t have been any worse. Can’t blame him because this would have been awful to record. But I understand, we all have to pay the bills so no judgment from me.

Bad Narration of a Bully Reverse Harem Dark Romance
I’ve read multiple reviews and have heard that Book 1 of this story is the darkest, and subsequent books are much less. There were some elements of kindness that seeped into the treatment of the FMC, but they were all for pure manipulative purposes — a frat boys’ “game”. The storyline did keep me going waiting to see how things would evolve, but it was the narration that spoiled it. I enjoyed the performance of the female narrator doing Story, and, while not my fave, I was ok with the male narrator doing the parts of the MMCs. However, when the woman did a male voice, it was dreadfully grating and not believable, and the male’s voice of Story when he was in MMC mode made her sound like what I imagine a castrated deer sounds like. I’ve listened to a lot of audiobooks, and there’s a huge difference in the quality of the performances. For two narrators, it’s always better to have duet narration which each sticking to performances coinciding with their own genders. For the remainder of the books here in this story, I won’t be wasting my credits on the audio versions as they’re the same narrators. I’ll be purchasing the Kindle formats and reading electronically. Fingers crossed the story improves. Believe me, the audio sample for this book on Audible was totally unrepresentative of the performances to come.
