About this listen
Asher Hansen began tormenting me our freshman year, not long after my father kicked him and his older brother off the compound with nothing but the clothes on their back.
They blamed Dad for their mother taking her own life. To be honest, I think I did, too.
Maybe that’s why I took it whenever Asher called me Cult Barbie and teased me mercilessly, saying the filthiest, most outrageous things.
But that doesn't explain why his words always made me feel...fizzy inside.
To say I’ve been waiting for this moment is an understatement. It’s graduation day, a big deal for every 18-year-old and an even bigger deal for someone who grew up the way I did.
But for me, today is about more than the end of high school. It's about taking control of my life. Today, I’m actually going to do it. The one thing I can do to shock him. My ruthless nemesis.
I guarantee he won’t see it coming.
“What’s that, buttercup?” he asks, mocking laughter in his voice when he hears me speak up. “Are you actually going to fight back for once? This should be fun.”
I take a bracing breath and turn to face him. But the breath just rushes back out again.
That’s what he does to me - this bitter, mean-spirited, obscenely beautiful bully.
It really is obscene, how pretty he is, with dark eyelashes that make his green eyes pop and black-as-sin hair so silky looking, my fingers used to itch to touch it in English class.
On the first day of class, I got there early enough to score a seat in the very back. So, in order to stay close enough to make every moment of my life at school miserable, Asher - my teasing, tormenting shadow - had been forced to take the seat in front of mine.
What he didn’t know?
I didn’t find it miserable at all to spend 50 minutes staring at his silky hair and broad, powerful shoulders. Even when he turned around to sneer at me, I didn’t mind too much.
Even his sneer is gorgeous, the jerk.
“Cat got your tongue?” he asks, stepping out of the doorway to the classroom across the hall and stalking toward me.
When he moves like that, I feel like prey, and I’m nearly 100 percent sure that’s his intention. Asher is the best player on the baseball team and rumor has it he turned down a full scholarship to play for the Longhorns at UT. He’s in complete control of his body and well aware of the things it can do.
“No,” I reply, gathering my courage. “And no, I’m not going to fight back. In fact, I don’t want to fight at all.”
His eyes go wide with a mixture of anger and...amusement.
Gambling that I’ve found a tactic that works and should run with it, I say, “My father was awful to you, Asher. But I’m not my father. And I’m not a fan of his right now. That’s why I was hoping to run into you today.”
He crosses his arms over his thick chest, grinning as he says, “Okay, you got me, C.B. I’m intrigued. This new, psychotic side of you is still weird as hell, but interesting.” He taps a finger to his chin.

It's not every day your dean is a 6'4" dark god with ocean-blue eyes and a dimple. Just looking at him makes my heart pound and my stomach flutter. He's intense, filthy, and forbidden. Not to mention, he's my sister's ex-boyfriend. If I were smart, I'd walk away. Lines are getting blurred. Boundaries are being tested. And rules are about to be broken.

Virtuous. Kind. Patient. These were words never associated with Gabriel Saint. He was a monster. The devil that haunted the city of Redhill. And he had found me. I managed to hide for a while from my past, present, and future. But I should have known they’d come looking. After all, I had the heir of the city in my arms, and if I know anything about the ruling crime family of this city, it’s that family comes before all else. When Gabriel comes for me, I fight but know it’s useless, and when he forces me to be his wife, I vow to make his life as miserable as possible.

I enjoyed this complicated story. There are past issues that turn Asher into a not so nice person. Once the story goes along, you get what happened to his family, and not to excuse his behavior, his emotional state is understandable. Even with all the harassing, Emma still sees the good person he used to be, and wants to bring that side of him out. Asher is determined to hurt Emma's father, even if that means using her to do it. What he doesn't expect is Emma's goodness, despite his plan to ruin her and her father. Obviously, they end up together, but I won't tell what happens. There are some interesting twists to this story, and there's definitely some heat between Asher and Emma. What starts as something very ugly, transforms into a beautiful love story between two childhood friends.
The narration by C. J. Mission and Amanda Watson was great.

Felicity Raine weaved an interesting tale involving Emma, the daughter of a religious cult-type leader and Asher, mysyerious mean guy and Emma's bully. There are so many layers to this story and Asher is so much more than a bully. This book is super hot and dirty and honestly, and while it's not my usual type of book, it was pretty enjoyable.
C.J. Mission and Amanda Watson are narrators that are pretty new to me. They made the minutes fly by and my ear buds heat up in their performances of Asher and Emma in this quick listen.
Something different!

This might have be a quick read, but it was oh so hot as hell! The chemistry between Asher and Emma was off the charts smokin! And the story kept me glued…
I accidentally stumbled across this book and I’m glad I did…I personally enjoyed Broken by a Bully and I’m kind of confused on why it hasn’t gotten more readers?
I will definitely be looking into Felicity Raine other books! After I read Jackson and Laura’s story.
Audiobook review: Both C.J. Mission and Amanda Watson were new to me and I think that they both did a wonderful job! I personally think Amanda Watson could’ve read Asher’s POV since she does a remarkable job at doing a man’s voice!

Emma and Asher were childhood friends once, growing up in a religious cult but circumstances involving Emma´s twisted cult leader dad leaves Asher and his brother to fend for themselves.
Love and Hate are two emotions very close together. The emotional tormenting Asher does towards Emma, is his way of hiding his real feelings for her. Emma takes it all, as it seems it´s the only way Asher gives her the attention she craves. One day Emma stands up to Asher and propositions him as what she has to offer him is going to be the lesser evil than what her father has planned for her.
Amanda Watson and C.J. Mission are new to me narrators, and I really enjoyed listening to them. There was a lot of passion and emotions in their voices, you could really hear them feeling with these characters, and it was just an easy listen. They drew me into the story and just enhanced the feelings, emotions and the heat of the dialogue.
