Kings of Cypress Prep: The Golden Boys by Rachel Jonas, Nikki Thorne
5.0
The Golden Boys by Rachel Jonas and Nikki Thorne is a dark high school bully romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Neill Thorne, Lessa Lamb, and Sarah Puckett.
The book does come with a warning/caution "The Golden Boys are all smokin’ hot, but there’s only one guy for Blue Riley, which means this romance isn’t a reverse harem. Also, full disclosure, this saga does contain strong bully themes. So, if you’re not into romances where hate turns into love (well … eventually), and if you don’t like your heroes of the unapologetically alpha variety, this might not be the book for you. There is no rape or dubious consent whatsoever. However, due to adult themes and sexual situations, this one’s only for the 18+ crowd."
This is the first book of Rachel and Nikki's that I have read and it definitely won't be my last. I was hooked from the very beginning. I loved that the book kept me on my toes. The back and forth between Blue and West is so hot and twisted!
The book does end on a cliffhanger but that wasn't much of a surprise since its the first book in the series. I can't wait for the next book to be released on audio so I can get more of Blue and West...and well of course Dane and Sterling.
The narration was PERFECT! Sarah's voice was perfect for Pandora. It was exactly how I pictured the character when I had read the book. Lessa did an amazing job bringing Blue to life. I loved how Neill brought all the golden boys to life with different tones/voices.
I would highly recommend this book if you like bully romances, dark romances, or contemporary romances. This is a MUST READ series!
