He was more than a bully, he was what living nightmares were made of. It started as a childish game played between two friends, which ended in heartbreak. She knew him once.

A long time ago they may have even called each other friends. That was before she moved away, before her mother married his father, and before an entire life fell apart. She lost friends, popularity, and a future. This was supposed to be a fresh start, but it was real life hell.

Vance Preston used to be a poor boy with a soft smile and kind eyes. He used to be her friend. Now he’s God’s gift to women (his words not hers), disgustingly handsome, and filthy rich. He can do whatever he wants, say whatever he wants, and hurt whomever he wants. No one can stop him, and no one dares to. He might as well be god. He dares her to defy him and fight back. He promises he won’t stop until he hurts her.

But she’s not afraid, because you can’t break something that’s already broken.

Who is the liar?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 5, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is truly an intense saga, of best friends, that become rivals overnight. A night, of playing the game, “truth or dare” ends in disaster. A ten-year-old, Ava and Vance, are best friends. Vance’s, dad has fallen on hard times so, his family has moved in, with her family.

But, the one time she takes a dare, changes the course, of everyone's lives. Leaving, Vance with deep-seated hatred, and a taste for revenge against, Ava. But, when five years have passed, and the results of that night, leave the two people who caused it, happy and in love. Then, what?

Well, they get married. This makes Ava and Vance, step-siblings. What is for sure, is it doesn't make either, of them happy. As for, Vance he becomes, a Bully and a preditor, who instills fear and enjoys it. He’s a coward for sure. Not telling her why, she's a liar, because then he would have to deal with his own, emotions.

There is a defining moment when his friend, Clark points out to him an important fact, concerning his anger. As to what his anger may be about, what he was told doesn't fit what he's seeing, and getting to know, referring to, Ava. Van wants to hate her for a lie, she may not have committed. And the anger is at himself because he loves, her. After all, he knows deep down, that the lie doesn't fit.

Clark advises that Van get to know her. Clark has, and he truly likes her as a person. But, when Van, starts to believe her the true manipulator surfaces and reinforces the original lie he was given five years ago. Now, his revenge burns even hotter for her.

***Let me just say, this book is intense. If you have been bullied, verbally abused, or sexually abused beware.*** That being said, Ava is one strong girl, to put up with so much over, the five years.

One, living with the guilt of telling the truth of that night, she lost everything. Two, she lost her innocence, her friend, her home, her family, her mom, and her sense of security. Not to mention now having to deal with her mom’s new family. But, the doo-doo is about to fly.

This book was mediocre at best. First off the reason for Vance hating Ava is the stupidest thing ever, usually I can get over a bad plot and not really care but I did with this book. The only thing this book has was good smut but that’s abt it. Also why was it never addressed that Vance was dating his stepsister, like the only person to say anything abt it was Sarah but what about the actual PARENTS. Oh and don’t get me started on them bc how does Ava dad barely get mentioned at the beginning and all of a sudden at the end he’s abt to kïll Ava’s mom and Vance’s dad like that came out of nowhere. And one more thing, why was Vance so quick to believe his dad over Ava who was apparently “the girl he loved” that just makes no sense. There was absolutely ZERO logic used for this book, but if you can get over all that then you should read the book…Overall this book was a 3/5 for me only bc it was a short book with good smut but if I was eating it for the plot it would be a negative 7. Thank you for your time:)

Stepsister bullying

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 15, 2022

Ava and Vance. Your typical billy romance. He pushed her to get limits. Parents suck, and lies are flowing like water. Everyone blames Ava when it wasn't her fault. Now the past is catching up with them. Truths are spoken, and guns are being shot. This book has it all.

Vance & Ava

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 20, 2022

Verified Purchase

Kind of similar to Book 1. Vance and Ava were childhood friends when Ava walked in on her mom and his dad in bed. Ava tells her father what she saw and all he'll breaks loose. Ava and her family move away the next day.

Vance dad tells him that Ava said he threatened her to steal her moms jewelry - fast forward 4 years later and Vance is still seething and now Ava is in college with him.

Better read than the first book because Vance actually apologises to Ava for treating her so badly and vows to make it up to her.

Truth? or Bully?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

Yet again J.L. Beck and C. Hallman have done it again, writing another splendid and engaging book.
So a few things, 1st) both Ava's mom and Vances dad are very selfish people. Getting into an affair (which I called it), lying about it for years, telling lies instead of truths. Hurting each others families because of it. 2nd) I get Vance being angry, because he was manipulated by his father on multiple occasions and instead of telling/owning up to the truth. But his action toward Ava were unacceptable. It was sever bullying and emotional abuse. 3rd) When Ava sucker punched Clark in the throat was by far my favorite scene in the book. I laughed my ass off at that part I literally had to re-read that part. Like she warned him and he was shocked that she went through with it. And finally 4th) I am glad that both Ava and Vance were able to get passed all the lies and heartache so that can have a real shot at happiness. Also that ending, I so have to read the next book The Secret. Clark just announcing he has a girlfriend like WTF!!?

It was an awesome book. It was a little bit dark and sad but still good. I might read the whole series.

This book was great. Faced paced and easy to read. I felt so bad for Ava and Vance and all they had to go through. Super steamy, lots of angst. And all the hate. Couple of twists. Great little read!

Predictable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 21, 2022

Verified Purchase

So this is the third book I have read by these authors. They all follow the same plot with a different events. I've given up on this series just now because I can see the end before page two. A girl and boy are childhood best friends, girl has to leave, boy gets angry and resentful. Boy is full of anger and meets her 5 years later, he wants to make her life a misery and dubious consent later he's obsessed. A near death experience of either character causes them to rekindle average will forgive him. If any of the other books differ then tag them so I can read them .

Second chance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

I kid you not, I ugly cried hard through this book. More than The Bet. But still an emotional rollercoaster!

Can be read as a standalone. Even though characters from The Bet pop in

POV:Dual

Vance and Ava were childhood best friends, until both their parents pack up and leave.

Vance blames Ava for his parents divorce. All because of what he believed was the truth and Ava was the one lying.

Years later Ava's back for her Mothers and Vances Fathers wedding. Much to Vances disgusted that Ava is his stepsister, the treacherous liar for the upheaval of his life.

Ava is in just as much pain, she hasn't seen her Mother in years, leaving her with her alcoholic Father, who is now in rehab.
Coming face to face with Vance after all these years, she's baffled by why he hates her so much.
She puts up with his verbal abuse and bullying.
Until Vance discovers that Ava was telling the truth all along.

Again with some twists and turns. This was an enjoyable page turner.

Abusive and toxic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

The hero is very abusive, downright nasty and scary. He creates a toxic and unsafe environment for the heroin throughout 75% of the book. They had no previous romantic history. Yet he puts his hands on her like it’s his job. She’s constantly scared of him even when they’re intimate.
There is abusive and unsafe written all over the book.

Love the authors style and that’s the only reason I was able to finish the book. Even though I felt on edge all the time. This is my first stepbrother bully romance so I can’t compare. But I will not keep this book since I know there is no chance I read again.

Brilliant stepbrother novel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

Ava meets Vance as a young girl and forms a friendship with him whilst his family stays at their house. They play Truth or Dare, but the consequences of a dare gone wrong separate the two for 5 years. When they are reunited, the past isn't kept in the past as feelings surface, including those of anger, betrayal and confusion. But there is a fine line between hate and love...
I really really enjoyed The Secret! Gah my stomach was in a knot desperate for them to find out the truth, for the misconception to be cleared up! It was painful to watch the two wonderfully portrayed characters go through so much hurt, anguish and misconstrued betrayal. Brilliantly written, the authors nodded to previous characters although this can be read as a standalone.

Basically the same as the first book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

I must admit that I was quite disappointed with book two. I felt that it was practically identical to the previous book in the first few chapters and found myself just skimming paragraphs. The story only really starts midway through the book and even at that I just kept pointing out the similarities from the bet . I really hope that the third book is not another repeat but I am going to give it a chance
