Description
USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Meagan Brandy brings you a story about a high society girl who dares to love an outsider. I'm a Monet. A chameleon. I'm whatever I must be. The flawless daughter, a skilled socialite, and the perfect prize to the man of my family's choosing.Not that I'm complaining. I knew what my future would hold before I returned to California, and the truth is, I'm all for a loveless life. One that takes little thought and zero devotion. It's exactly what I want.Or it was...until I locked eyes with someone from the opposite side of the tracks.He's the ripple in the rich, the poor punk who doesn't belong...or so the trust fund crew claims.He's everything I'm supposed to avoid, untamed and unapologetic, reckless and free. Addicting in ways I can't explain. I'm aware no good will come of our friendship, yet I can't bring myself to care. He's ready to show me the world through his eyes. The question is...do I let him? ___This 103k word standalone will take you on a ride of epic proportions! This book rides a fine line of many tropes including reverse harem, an arranged marriage with a twist, opposites attract, and a tad of enemies-to-lovers. The steam is high and nights are promiscuous.

Once again Meagan proves she can write an remarkable story that keeps you hooked until the end. The storyline, the chemistry, the bonds, and the growth are outstanding. And of course it wouldn’t be a Meagan book without a twist that leaves you speechless. Jameson is a senior in HS. She is the daughter of one of the best lawyers who has groomed her since a young age. Jameson is the definition of controlled. She numbs herself so she doesn’t have to feel and can follow the path her mom has set for her. She doesn’t fit in with her rich friends, but they are all she knows. That is until a party where the lights go out. She is “kidnapped” by three boys considers outsiders. They leave her on the beach with a note. After the party she has run-ins with them. Eventually she starts to get close. They may not be from her world but she relates to them more than she ever has with anyone and for once doesn’t have to follow what she is told to do and can be herself. I’ll admit when I first started reading I was worried I wouldn’t like Jameson. I felt like I wouldn’t be able to relate to her or that she would be a spoiled rich girl. But she surprised me. I grew to love her tough exterior and how she let what others said and did bounce off her. She suppressed her emotions for so long that when she finally starts to let herself feel she doesn’t understand what is happening. Getting to see her become more than the shell of a person she was raised to be was a beautiful journey. Ransom, Beretta, and Arsen are best friends that met when they were young. Their bond is so incredibly strong. Arsen doesn’t talk due to trauma that happened when he was younger but he still has a mischievous personality. Ransom is dealing with guilt over things and has a lot of anger that makes it hard for him to open up. Beretta is the one that keeps them together. He knows what they feel and he can communicate when the others can’t. I thought this book would be a RH with the way it was going. All three boys got close with Jameson and helped her open up more. There were moments where I could see the connection with each one. At about 30% though it became clear who she was meant to end up with. Jameson and Ransom were more alike than they thought. Ransom could tell what she was feeling even when she hid behind her walls. Jameson made Ransom realize it was okay to be angry but he didn’t have to live with the guilt he has been carrying around. Their chemistry was consuming and when they were together you could feel this passion through the pages. This book was such a beautiful story of finding yourself. About breaking through who you were expected to be for others and learning to love yourself and know what you want to be is what truly matters. All the characters, including some of Jameson’s inner circle friends were flawed and even though they may have looked perfect on the outside they were damaged just like everyone else. This story is different than Meagan’s other books. It’s raw, emotional, and real. You can feel the character’s pain, their torment, and their love. The only thing I was disappointed about was that we didn’t Ransom’s POV . I wanted to see inside his head, and know what he was thinking and feeling. Other than that this book was one of my favorites.

I have read * almost * every Meagan Brandy book, and she has blown it out of the water. From her very first book, she has set the bar extremely high, and this woman can do plot twists like no other. I’m telling you I never see them coming, and I have no idea how she plans in her head how all of the characters will end up being intertwined. It amazes me every time! Meagan has said that she wants readers to go into this book blind for the best reading experience. I agree with that, so I will keep this review as spoiler-free as possible. If you want to go in truly blind, stop reading now and just give it a try yourself!! This book got off to a bit of a rocky start for me. There are a lot of characters at the very beginning, and it seemed like we missed out on a “This is so and so, and this is how they are connected to me” introduction. It took a good 10% of the book before I even knew who most of the main characters were. As far as the characters go, I really loved the guys. Ransom, Arsen, and Beretta all ended up being great guys, and I liked the parts we learned about each of them throughout the story. That said, I spent most of the story confused about the “blackouts” and where that storyline was going. When it did unfold, I definitely didn’t see the explanation coming, so I think it was well worth the wait. The plot of this book didn’t quite work for me. I liked the relationships and friendships built between Jameson and the guys, but that was by far the best part of the book for me. The arranged marriage drama was something I wasn’t really invested in. I really didn’t like reading the plot element involving Jameson’s friends. I didn’t expect it, didn’t think it was given the respect it deserved, and I felt like it was just thrown in for shock value, and I truly disliked that. Overall, I liked the relationship, but the plot of this one honestly just didn’t do it for me. It had the true “Meagan Brandy” twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting, but unfortunately, as much as I loved each of those being revealed, the rest of the book didn’t draw me in. If the book sounds of interest to you, I would still encourage you to pick it up! It wasn’t my perfect fit, but if you are into romances that lean more on characters than plot, this could still be an excellent read for you. 3/5 Stars TW: Suicide Reverse Harem Spoiler: I know a frequently asked question for this book is, is it a reverse harem? It is not a reverse harem.. but there is a group aspect ;) Happy Reading!

Meagan Brandy has knocked me on my Fanny again y’all! In true Meagan fashion she has delivered a book so unexpected and original I'm almost struggling to find words to convey my love for this book, while not giving away any secrets. I certainly hope you aren’t afraid of the dark?! The darkest and most delicious monsters come out to play in the dark, and holy hades these are some mouthwatering monsters. With sexy names to match the sexy and dark personas you will find yourself guessing and wondering what in the world is happening?! You quickly learn that the guys characters in this book are so perfectly penned and deep. They are unique and have this eerie and impenetrable vibe going on to their trio. As we go on I can’t explain the feelings in my heart as each one’s own personal story starts to become unveiled. Every emotion I had was tugged at. It didn’t know my heart had room for more of Meagan Brandy’s boys after Brayshaw, but I WAS WRONG!! Then our gorgeous heroine. She had castle sized walls up too. She was a perfectly polished façade from the front and no one had been able to penetrate past the mask she hid behind...Until now. My heart broke for her because no one knew who she truly was, what she really felt, or why she was the way she was. I was so frustrated for her. I really wanted to throttle on her behalf. She really won me over. Quickly! If you loved the Brayshaw boys, prepare your hearts ladies. There’s some new man in town and they may just steal your heart away from your favorite Bray! If you thought your Braygirls knew how to bring out their inner “B” well just wait till you meet “Trouble”! I will say the first 20% or so is a smidge overwhelming with all the characters and names thrown your way, but you will catch on to who’s who pretty quick and then it’s unputdownable! Don’t try to predict because you will be blown away with the shocks and twists thrown at you. This book is original, unique, sinful and sexy in all the best ways. It’s mysterious and shocking and it’s just downright really good! Read it y’all!! Yeah, just read it!! Cr8zysockbookblock ratings wrap up!! ⭐️Six Sinfully unforgettably delicious stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🔥Four Holy Hot Dayum- Fan Yourself Flames-🔥🔥🔥🔥 🌪Cliffhanger Warning-🌪 NO CLIFFY! This HEA was perfect. It was fought so hard for and so deserved for these phenomenal characters.

Apologies if there’s a hint of spoilers... Reading the summary you could tell this might be a generic story line, but given Megan’s name you know to expect something badass and edgier. However the storyline seemed recycled which I find some authors have been doing as of late. If you compare this to her Bradshaw works 1)Strong female lead transplanted to hometown?✅ 2) Reverse Harem undertones of 3 best bros loving our female MC?✅ 3) Family drama with the female MC being used as a bargaining chip ?✅ Need I say more?.... But let’s look at the story as a whole. It starts off as a slow read. Honestly I wanted to put the book down after the first page because it was too much description and not enough action to tell us what was going on. As I push through and start feeling out the story a little bit more but things are just thrown at you with very little context. Character development is lacking and the lines connecting relationships between characters is too tangled to make sense of or very faint. Kind of like meeting family for the first time, but their relationship is so distant kind of like that of your mother’s 2nd cousin’s twice removed daughter’s half brother’s uncle’s niece... you get me? They’re related but you’re unsure where this relationship is going while at the same time knowing they’re relevant to the present circumstances but their background info is too vague to fully support their relevance to the situation. It’s supposed to be a stand-alone, but enough random drama was thrown in to make again question the characters existence and their story. Then the drama surrounding the main characters... the climax of the supposed drama didn’t hit hard enough. To be honest it felt weak... and resolution to the climax related drama was too rushed. Overall I was not able to feel conneced to the story and it’s characters. I was disappointed 😔

"Every spoiled little rich girl craves herself a psycho, at least a time or ten." GAH!! I don't know how the author does it, but she never fails to write a hot, twisted, grab you by your face story each and every time. It was completely unexpected, went in blind, and I wanted to read it over and over and over for the first time just to melt to the floor endlessly. The characters were all bold, fiery, all-consuming, head-to-toe hotness that lit me up and scorched me whole. Magnetic, sultry, forbidden, heart-wrecking, mesmerizing, broken, 50 shades of crazy and I loved them all!! Just when you think you get it, all you know, gets turned on it's %ss and you're left WTF-ing and salivating for more!! An absolute, hands-down, must read of the year!! "To hide the heart isn’t to salvage the soul, it’s to protect it until the person it belongs to comes to claim it as their own and claim it, he did. Without permission. Without pause. And without mercy."

Meagan Brandy never fails to hit you in the feels and have you wrapped around her character's fingers. At first, I had my doubts, I read the boys' names and thought mmm Arson, Beretta, and Ransom? Felt like it was a little too on the nose. But of course, I shouldn't have doubted our queen. It gave them an edge and set them further apart from the rich squeaky-clean image of their counterparts. I wouldn't consider this an RH despite an instance or so between Jameson and the guys, you'll have to read to see exactly what I mean and come to understand the unique bond between not only Jameson and them but the guys themselves. They have an extremely strong well grounded friendship and are able to be vulnerable in ways that it takes most people a lifetime to be. So to sum it up there's spice, amazing friendships, a unique story, and one heck of a bond to last.

I have to admit, even though I love Meagan Brandy’s books, I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to finish this one. Jameson was a little too fake for my taste. But honestly she wasn’t even fake. She was just trying to survive the best way she knew how. I’m really glad I kept reading. The whole story of Ransom, Beretta, and Arson is something I never saw coming. I’ve read books where there is a main group of guys that are interested in the main girl, but nothing quite like these boys. Arson and Ransom have troubling pasta that effect their present, but that doesn’t stop Jameson. I love how this book is all about finding yourself. Standing up for what you want and not letting anyone control your future. Jameson starts off as this rich girl who pretends to be perfect and happy. But then she meets the guys. They force her to feel things she’s never allowed herself to feel before. She then eventually has to choose between the life she’s known or them. She chooses them. Or more correctly, him. I’m some ways this book is a reverse harem. Things do happen between Jameson and all 3 boys, but mostly this book is centered around Jameson and Ransom. The relationship between Jamie and Ransom is something that I enjoyed watching grow. For reasons I won’t say, Ransom had a hard time going through with have sex with Jamie. So throughout the book you learn little by little why he is the way he is. Because of this, they grow together more outside of sex than during it. I have to say, @meaganbrandyauthor never disappoints! I really shouldn’t doubt that any of her books won’t be good. It just took me a bit to see how amazing this book really was. From fake rich girls to arsons, this book really does have it all!!

“Is the ground beneath your feet starting to shake? Is your ocean on the edge of a tsunami, ready to spill over until all that’s left is a mess of broken parts?” BADLY BEHAVED is different from anything I have ever read before. The first half of the book entices you, luring you into the story. You think you know where it is going and then the second half captives you completely and leads you in a totally different direction. “I don’t have to open myself up to false hope and broken promises. To heartache and pain. I simply have to be.” Jameson Filano, man saying this girl has layers and impenetrable walls is an understatement. She has her whole future planned and that is the way she wants it. That is until the lights go out... Ransom Rossi, Arsen Agular and Beretta Keller they have a tight unbreakable bond and all bring something delicious, authentic and different to the table. I have my favorite and I’m sure you will too. “F...k everyone else and what they think, like, or believe.” There isn’t much I can say without giving it away but it is best to go in blind. There were twists and turns I didn’t see coming, savage indeed. This is a book about love, bravery and knowing your worth. I loved and highly recommend it!!! “Bring on the blackout.”
