Extreme bullying the first book of the series. I didn’t understand how the H was a killer in the real world to allow herself to be so meek in school. It’s unrealistic and the reason why I rated the series so low.
The subsequent books are a bit better, although it’s quite the leap for the horrible bullies in book one suddenly become her best buds/lovers. I really don’t understand why the H would be such a doormat.

While the storyline was very engaging, this was just so much plot and twist.
Also, the bullying was severe, and I don’t know how she got past all of that to be friends and fall in love with the guys.
But for me, it’s just all of the little subplots, that just makes a story kind of drag on. You have so many enemies that literally every other page is a plot of some kind kind of gets a little overwhelming with all these people gunning for this one girl.
Also, because of how plot heavy everything is, the spice just isn’t spicy!

All hail the Wolf of Mounts Bay!
This is my second reading of Hannaford Prep and it just gets better. Ash, Avery, Blaise, Harley & Lips have my heart ❤️ J. Bree really outdid herself with this and I can’t wait for more from Mounts Bay

TITLE: Hannaford Prep: The Complete Series
GENRE: New Adult Romance
AUTHOR: J Bree
TROPE: Enemies-to-Lovers, Academy, Why-Choose
TYPE: Series (Hannaford Prep Complete Series)
POV: Multiple POV
MY RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5
I loved how the whole series were combined into one book, which I consumed over the weekend. It is a bit of a slow burn on the spice and the why-choose aspect, but the story was enjoyable and kept me interested.
Lips (Eclipse) has earned herself a scholarship at Hannaford Prep which she is determined to complete to build a better life away from all the tragedy she has endured to get here. Only one problem is that no one on a scholarship has made it past the first year at Hannaford Prep, and all the rich kids hate her.
Hannaford Prep is a story of revenge, tragedy, love, friendship and family. I am giving a 4 / 5 Star rating.

Hannaford prep is a 4 book series with multiple spin off series.
5/5⭐️
- Reverse harem
- Boarding school
- Bully romance
I was hesitant about starting this series but it had me hooked from chapter 1! There are so many twists and turns throughout this series that you don't see coming.
The sexual tension between Lips and our boys is top tier and there's just the right amount of spice. It builds up throughout thee books which I loved as it meant you actually got to understand the characters first.
Lips is such a guarded person that has to learn to open up and trust those around her. And we can't forget my one true love from this series, our ice queen - Avery Beaumont!!!

Mindblowing!
This series absolutely drew me in! From the very first moment of trying to piece together the back story of the Wolf of Mounts Bay I was so intrigued.
Lips, the Wolf of the Bay, had a traumatic childhood, leading to being initiated into gang life. Trying to leave it all behind she ventures into a scholarship at Hannesford Prep where she is met with extreme hostility and learns she doesn't have Queen status outside of Mounts Bay.
This series has amazing pacing and had me spiralling in the best way. I adored the mix of back story and hazing/bully antics in the early part, and absolutely devoured the building tension as the cleverly crafted plot went on.
The dynamics of the characters, the found family, dark DARK gang themes and suspense were sensational. It is so worth a read, it was pure entertainment. Every character was given their moment, I love the way we get to know so much about the intricacies of the Mounts Bay world and Lips family. The spice is plentiful, had my heart racing and was in perfrct balance with the dark plot.
I am now 100% a life long fan of J Bree's writing, brain and character creation. As a whole this series was 5
