Fear. Desire. Redemption.
When I was taken…it changed me.
Once, I was the life of the party.
Not anymore.
I told myself that I was okay. I almost believed it, until the day I was forced to face my past and my nightmare came to life.
Now the Four are the only ones I can turn to, and Cassius Drummond has made it his personal mission to help me out.
No matter how much I tell myself that he’s off-limits, the more time we spend together, the more I want him.
Bound by my past, I know I’m no good for him, and I’m nothing more than a convenient distraction while we’re stuck with each other.
It’s going to end in heartbreak.
But every time he smiles at me, I find myself falling a little bit more.
The Bonds We Break is a standalone mature new adult romance, but is best enjoyed after the previous four books in the series.

OMG! I absolutely loved it!
The Bonds We Break is the fifth book in The Four series, and it tells the story of Cassius Drummond and Jessa De Witt. This story can be read as a standalone romance. However, I highly recommend reading the series in chronological order. I believe knowing the backstories will help you to fully appreciate and understand the storyline. Just know that it’s only a suggestion.
I’ve been looking forward to reading Cassius’ story as he’s such a lovable character. So, as soon as I saw the book on my Kindle, I jumped right in. The storyline was gripping, and I’m dying to fill you in on all of the details, but this is one series that you should read without any spoilers! However, I can say that it was full of drama, angst, suspense, and so dang steamy! Oh, and I absolutely loved the ending!
Now, I can’t wait for Zayde’s stories!

Wow!
The Lies We Tell is the first book in The Four series written by author Becca Steele. It tells the story of Winter Huntington, who transferred to Alstone College after her father’s death. She decided to transfer to Alstone to be closer to her mother, with whom she recently reconnected.
Alstone is pretty much run by Cassius, Weston, Zayde, and Caiden, who are also known as The Four. Caiden and Weston are brothers, and their father is married to Becca’s mother. However, they don’t want anything to do with her, and they proceed to make her life extremely difficult.
I’m dying to fill you in on all of the details, but this is one story that you’ll need to experience yourself! I seriously could not put it down, and I was absolutely hooked from the very first page. The storyline is gripping, and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. Honestly, I just devoured it!
The Lies We Tell is an amazing story, and I’m dying to read the next book in the series!

Another Fabulous Story!
The Secrets We Hide is the second book in The Four series written by author Becca Steele. In case you’re not aware, this series has a continuous storyline. Therefore, you’ll need to read them in chronological order. The first book, The Lies We Tell, left us with a pretty big cliffhanger, and I was dying to find out what was going to happen next. So, as soon as it showed up on my Kindle, I dove right in!
The Secrets We Hide is filled with suspense, mystery, intrigue, and some blazing hot sex scenes! I seriously couldn’t turn the pages fast enough, and it was nearly impossible to put down. The storyline was full of so many twists and turns, and I’m dying to fill you in on all the details. However, this is one series that you seriously need to read without any spoilers! Oh, and since this is only the second book in the series, be prepared for another cliffhanger.

Becca Steele
An Enemies to Lovers College Bully Romance
February 25th, 2021

Lust. Mystery. Betrayal.
Weston Cavendish. My brother’s best friend. I’d perfected the art of pretending that I didn’t want him, that he didn’t affect me every time he was near.
Or so I thought.
When his world comes crashing down, I’m the one he turns to, and I can’t deny my feelings any longer.
I know there’s something between us.
Until he finds out that I’ve been hiding things from him, too.
Broken and betrayed, can we pick up the pieces and work together to expose the truth?
The odds are stacked against us.
But I won’t give up without a fight.

Amazing!
The Fight In Us is the fourth book in The Four series, and it tells the story of Weston Cavendish and Lena Drummond (Weston’s best friend’s sister). This story can be read as a standalone romance. However, I do highly recommend reading the series in order. I believe that knowing the backstories will help you to fully appreciate and understand the storyline. Just know it’s only a suggestion.
The Fight In Us is another nail-biting suspenseful romance that had me growling at anyone that dared to talk to me. Seriously, I was gripping my Kindle tight, and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough! The storyline was thrilling and full of so many twists and turns. I was heartbroken when West was betrayed, and I was glad that he had Lena there for him. But when he found out her secret, I was heartbroken! Oh, but I absolutely loved the ending!
Another fantabulous story! I can’t wait for Cassius and Zayde’s stories!
I highly suggest you add the series to your TBR list!
