Charlie - Review

Charlie
Rydeville Elite Book # 4
Siobhan Davis
May 4th, 2020

A standalone enemies-to-lovers office romance set within the Rydeville Elite world.

Demi
Dropping out of college senior year was never part of my plan. But Dad needs me, and I’d move mountains for the only parent I’ve ever known—even working for the company that fired him.

My boss, Charlie, is determined to make my life a living hell, availing of every opportunity to undermine my confidence, to humiliate and threaten me.

Sleeping with him the night of his wedding might have something to do with his attitude.

Or the fact I’m the spitting image of the woman he really wants.

If our financial situation wasn’t so dire, I’d tell Charlie to stick his job up his delectable butt.

But I’m trapped, and things are only getting worse. Because the more layers I uncover, the more I realize he is nothing l expected and everything I crave.

Charlie
If there was a manual for all the ways a person could mess up his life, it’d have my name written on it.

I can’t undo the things I’ve done, no matter how badly I want to, and every day is a constant reminder of my epic failure.

Especially her.

It’s as if Demi has been put on this earth to punish me. To inflict more torture and pain. Because every second I’m around her, she makes me feel things I don’t want to feel.

So, I lash out. Doing my best to push her away.

Until I realize she’s everything I never knew I needed, and the fight becomes a new battle—one to win her heart.

Due to mature content and themes, this book is recommended to readers aged eighteen and over. This is a slightly extended version of the version that appeared in the Bully Me anthology containing one extra chapter and two epilogues. It is a 60k word short novel that ends with a HEA and NO cliffhanger.

Charlie is the fourth book in the Rydeville Elite series, and I can’t even describe how excited I was when I saw it on my Kindle! I seriously missed these characters, and I was very curious to see how Siobhan Davis was going to change my feelings about Charlie. Honestly, I have mixed feelings about him and what he did in the other books. So, I started reading tentatively, but the author showed me another side of him, and I absolutely fell in love!

Charlie’s story is emotional, as well as gripping and panty-melting! Demi is such a strong female character, and I immediately loved her! I loved her attitude and how she wouldn’t take any of Charlie’s BS.

Another absolutely fabulous book and a great addition to the series!

Cruel Intentions
Rydeville Elite Book # 1
Siobhan Davis
June 10th, 2019

Life is a cruel game where only the most ruthless survive. It’s a truth my mother rebelled against, and she paid for it with her life. Now, I play their game. Publicly accepting the destiny that lies in wait for me when I turn eighteen.

But, behind closed doors, I plot my escape.

Trent, Charlie, and my twin, Drew, rule the hallways of Rydeville High with arrogance and an iron fist. I execute my role perfectly, hating every second, but they never let me forget my place in this world.

Everyone obeys the rules. They have for generations. Because our families have always been in control.

Until Cam, Sawyer, and Jackson show up. Throwing their new money around. Challenging the status quo. Setting hearts racing with their gorgeous faces, hot bodies, and bad boy attitudes.

Battle lines are drawn. Sides are taken. And I’m trapped in the middle, because I made a mistake one fateful night when I gave my V-card to a stranger in a blatant F you to my fiancé.

I thought it was the one thing I owned. A precious memory to carry me through each dark day.

I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Because the stranger was Camden Marshall, leader of the new elite and my perpetual tormenter. He hates me with a passion unrivalled, and he won’t be the only one. Fire will rain down if the truth is revealed, threatening alliances, and the power struggle will turn vicious.

My life will hang in the balance.

But I’ll be ready, and I’m not going down without a fight.

OMG! That was flipping fantabulous!

I just finished reading Cruel Intentions, the first book in the Rydeville High Elite series, and I have a major book hangover!! It tells the story of Abigail Hearst-Manning, who is from one of the ‘old’ elite families. These families have expectations that they require everyone to follow. The ‘new’ elite families are tired of these rules, and they protest. Unfortunately, Abby is the one that’s been caught in the middle with no idea of who she can trust.

Cruel Intentions is a bully romance, so know that this is not one of those sweet love stories. It’s one of those books that once you open it, you can’t close it. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough, and about died when I got to the last page. I didn’t realize it had a cliffhanger, and I seriously cursed for several minutes. Now I’m majorly jonzing for the next book in the series!

Grab a drink and some snacks, get comfy, and buckle your seat belts! You’re going on an epic ride. It will have you gripping your Kindle tight as you beg for more!

Twisted Betrayal
Rydeville Elite Book # 2
Siobhan Davis
September 3rd, 2019

In the power struggle between two elite groups, one feisty girl will bring them to their knees…

He thinks he’s broken me. That I’m finally under his complete control. But I’m biding my time, gathering intel, making plans, and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. So, when an unexpected savior appears—offering me a way out—I grasp it with both hands.

But the man I love refuses to let me go, and he’s hell-bent on protecting me at all costs.

Except he’s far too late.

Kaiden’s betrayal fuels the anger flowing through my veins, and now our roles are reversed—I’m the hunter, and he’s my prey. I enjoy torturing him, lying to him, and letting him believe in false truths that were never our reality.

Until the stakes are raised, and I’m forced into playing their game again. Only this time, it’s not just my life hanging in the balance.

I thought he’d done his worst. That he didn’t have the power to hurt me anymore.

But I was wrong.

His depravity knows no bounds, and now, he’s taken everything from me.

This time, it means war, and I’m taking no prisoners.

This is book two of three and it’s not a standalone read. Due to mature content and themes, this series is only recommended to readers aged eighteen and older.

Twisted Betrayal is the second book in the Rydeville High Elite series written by author Siobhan Davis. So you are aware, this series has a continuous storyline. Therefore, you must read Cruel Intentions, the first book in the series, before beginning this one. And let me tell you, I am completely speechless. I just stared at the last page for like five minutes, trying to process what I’ve read.

Twisted Betrayal continues to tell the story of Abigail Hearst-Manning. This story is full of so many twists, and when I thought there couldn’t possibly be any more, Siobhan delivers the most epic twist that I have read. I would love to fill you in on all the juicy details, but this is one series that you need to experience yourself!

Every one of Siobhan’s books that I’ve picked up, I’ve absolutely loved. And each one, I didn’t think she could top, and she has each and every time. Siobhan has done a fabulous job of not only writing an outstanding story but also creating characters that are also so gripping, whether I love or loathe them.

This is one of those series that you drop everything, and run to get it the moment it’s published! And I’m currently dying for Sweet Retribution, the third and final book in the series, which is expected to be published in October.

Epic. Intense. Emotional. Gripping. Panty-Melting. And utterly unforgettable!

Sweet Retribution is the conclusion of Abby and Kai’s story, and let me tell you… I loved every single minute of it. I’m not going to go into the storyline as I genuinely believe you need to read it without reading any spoilers.

Trust me!

This is by far the best series that I have read in 2019 and Siobhan Davis’s best book to date!
