Loved this book from beginning to the end. Tough/cool kid and the girl who gets bullied learn there is more then it seems. A common theme but I tend to like them. I definitely will recommend and look forward to the next book.
I have now read both books out and am anxiously waiting for the third. Daniela has a writing stile I don't want to put down. The characters aren't always likeable but I feel that's what makes it more real. Thank you for the first book.

Wicked Devil is the first book in the Devils of Sun Valley High series. This book is told from dual points of view from Roman and Alejandra (Allie). This book is dark and has a trigger warning, so readers should be warned.

Allie just moved in with her father who she didn't know existed after her mother died. It is her senior year of high school, and she just wants to get through school to get back to her old friends and life. She starts at Sun Valley High School and on her first day she gets paired with Roman. Roman is suppose to show her around the school. He thinks she's a rich princess and wants her to know that she won't run the school. Him and his two friends are the head of the school and run everyone. The more time he spends with Allie he starts to fall for her. Allie falls for Roman as well.

However something traumatic happens to Allie. Roman doesn't know because she hid it from everyone. So Roman treats her very mean. Roman's dad was the one who found Allie, and later when Allie is in trouble again he puts two and two together about how his son knows Allie. At the end can Roman be there for Allie when she needs him? Can Allie trust Roman again?

This book was great! I really enjoyed it and I can't wait for the next book in the series. The narrator for the audiobook was great as well! She really brought the characters to life!

This was a pretty good book. I really liked Allie and felt really bad for her. I really didn’t like Roman for most of the book, to the point that I almost DNF but I wanted to see Allie get some sort of happiness. It was definitely more in-depth that many high school books, which worked for me. I recommend. 
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

I have received an advance copy of wicked devil for review. This story was a large roller coaster full of ups and downs. Let me first start by stating that I did enjoy this read and in times it really did pull me in but, what that being said I do believe that the writer put in too many topics to conquer. She tackles the main heroin losing her mother at an early age, then her long lost bio daddy being a very influential wealthy man. Then there’s the heart break and betrayal from her old life and a touch of bdsm in her new life. Throw in way too graphic sexual encounters for as young as they are and a bit of rape all wrapped up in a standout with the police due to a main supporting character being racially profiled  and you have wicked little devil. The characters did have depth but after about the 3 rd catastrophe it starts to become unbelievable, and once you can no longer relate in the story and the characters it becomes a hard drawn out read. I wish the writer would have sticker to one of two major items happening to allow rather than the smorgasbord that had. The characters are supposed to be in high school so I feel as if they way the kids are described in such a sexual nature is a bit too much. I would suggest making them college kids or perhaps a bit more toned down. Most juniors and seniors have no real idea what bdsm is and don’t looks for that kind of control. Another point that can lose some readers. As I stated I read this story in one night but felt it hard to relate to the characters in what I can only assume is the age. They are acting too mature for seniors and exhibit behaviors of older adults so it makes it hard sometimes to put them into a high school setting unless Rome is having a baby melt down.

Being the new girl at school is hard enough but for Allie she also struggles with the aftermath of moving in with her father who she doesn’t even know. When Roman sees her at school he knows he’s found his next toy for him & his friends to play with. But what he doesn’t know is Allie is no pushover & she isn’t afraid to give it right back to him. Soon his interest in her becomes more and as he battles his feelings, they both lower their defenses to explore what’s happening between them. But then a horrible event happens that spirals everything out of control and destroys all faith and trust.

This is my first read from this author and I really enjoyed this book. Roman was terrible to Allie but he had his moments where he realizes he can’t fight his feelings anymore. Allie thought she’s been through the worst experiences in her life but nothing can prepare her for what was going to happen. Roman and his friends went back to being horrible again & this is where Allie shows the inner strength she’s always had to push through & persevere. Looking forward to reading the next one!

4.6 stars
This is the first book I have read by the author and I look forward to see where she takes these Devils next. The first book concentrates on Allie and Roman. It is a school bully story and so much more that is unexpected. Allie has had her life uprooted in the worst way and at the worst time when she has to transfer to a new high school. It is never easy being the new girl made more troubling when you have those “mean girls” who are out for blood especially if they see you as competition. However, you cannot judge a book by its cover. Allie has her own demons that she is reckoning with and it does not help when she gets paired up with Roman, the big man on campus. Through the story, the author does a commendable job in translating Allie’s emotions, making her relatable and wanting to shield her from enduring more pain. Roman, on the other hand, is a self-centered tool that needs a swift kick in the you know where so that hopefully his eyes will open and see what is really happening around him. Overall, this is one engaging storyline that started out a little slow but picked up steam as it went along. I volunteered to read a copy of this book provided by Netgalley.

I wouldn’t really class this as bully romance more just high school romance,( it’s recommended reading  17+ so not for everyone) but it was an entertaining read. I loved Allie, how normal she was, how because of everything she’d been through she wasn’t backing down and she knew exactly who she was. You are drawn into liking and loving Roman even though you don’t want to initially, the pacing is good and writing is nice. It was an enjoyable and accessible read


Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

This book surprised me. I need more than 5 stars. The author is new to me but I'm looking forward to reading her next in the series. These devil boys are hard to resist, too much alpha in them lol. Even when they are jerks, they still get points on my book for being super protective. 

Big warning! This story has triggers. Very descriptive ones. It had me feeling anxious, unsettled and majorly disappointed in a few characters. At some point I even felt my heart in my throat. I felt incomplete wanting justice or at least wanting for some people to get what they deserved... but life is not fair to Allie, at all. She can only take so much, doesn't matter how strong her backbone is. So it's a good thing that Roman claims her as his, because she needs someone to be present. It's not an easy process (mostly due to his ego) but he definitely cares. And it's healing for the soul to read the process and measures that are taken to move on from all the loss and abuse. Plus in the process we get to read how Roman and Allie annoy, confuse, irritate and hurt the life out of each other to then kiss it all better.

Omg this book threw me through a roller coaster. I wish it was longer or had less "events" that happened to Allie. It was a good book but it became unbelievable due to the fact that so much bad things happened to this 17 year old within just a few short months. 

Despite everything I really did like Roman and am really looking forward to the next book. He grew alot and it was nice to feel that change in him instead of just being told it happened. The book is very graphic (not gory but you can vividly picture everything that is going on) The characters are well thought out and once started, I couldn't put this book down.

Lately I have been a sucker for bully romances. This definitely did not disappoint.  My emotions were all over the place. This book is not for the faint of heart. I loved the push and pull between Allie and Roman.  As well as the supporting characters.  This had angst, drama, heartache. All my favorite things!!!

When Allie’s mother dies, she is sent to live with her only relative ... her biological father, who she has never met. On her first day at her new school, she runs into The Devils, Roman, Emilio and Dom and they will make her last year of school h3ll. Roman just can’t help himself from tormenting the new girl ... and he can’t get her out of his head. He will either make her his girl or he’ll break her.

I’m not normally a fan of high school romances ... but this was not a sweet romance and I found that I really enjoyed it. I felt sorry for Allie because not only did her mom die, but her dad’s an a$$. And then she falls for school’s bad boy and he treats her like crap. Then there’s Roman ... first I didn’t like him, then I liked him, then I didn’t like him ... and so on. You know ... he’s the bad boy that good girls just can’t resist. I also really liked the supporting characters and I hope they all get a book ... Dom, Emilio, Aaron and Kasey. A great debut novel for this author!

I'm gonna ask you to please don't judge this book by its cover.

At first glance this seems like a typical high school bully romance with the popular guy obsessing over the new girl falling right at his feet, so my expectations weren't too high, but this kept me hooked from start to finish.

First, I wouldn't say this is a bully romance. Rather, it's a high school drama romance (but make it latino). We have Roman Valdez, the popular athlete with a certain influence that everyone wants to be friends with but he's not interested, he only needs those who have always been with him and to whom he is loyal. That said, that doesn't make it any less troublesome, and Allie Ramirez, the new girl at school, is his punishment. Since the moment he was tasked with accompanying her on her first day he thought it was a good idea to pick on her. Too bad this girl has already been through a hard time and has nothing to lose against him.

Allie Ramirez is living a new life that she wants nothing to do with. As if losing someone she loved and her friends wasn't enough, she had to change schools and go live with a complete stranger. If the popular guy wants to mess with her he can try, she has no time for those childish games.

Here is a romance in which the guy falls quickly for the new girl while trying to completely deny his feelings and also deep declarations of love that only a teenager can make, along with a group of good side characters that I hope also have a story that tell.

This is my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it so I intend to continue this series. There's nothing presumptuous about her writing and the story was easy to follow. There are also some trigger warnings but there's a note at the beginning saying which chapters to skip for those who may be more sensitive, but I will leave them here anyway [loss of loved one, rape, racism, police brutality].

This book was so good. It went by extremely fast for me. Definitely hoping for more from the author. You need to read this book.

An enjoyable New Adult High School Bully Romance. 

This story touches on a variety of topics that realistically we face every day, especially more times than not in high school. After losing her mother, Allie is forced to move and live with her father. Dealing with her lost, coupled with her new move and breaking up with her boyfriend, her life is in shambles. Allie's new school is ruled by the Devil's who are responsible for all the bullying that we as dark high school romance salivate for. Allie's character is  a great example of how as teenagers, we have to fake it to make it through our everyday life. We can't crumble in the face of high school bullies and Allie certainly doesn't. Roman and his fellow devils are sexy alpha bad boys. The banter throughout the story was entertaining and the overall plot kept me intrigued.

***4.5 ‘Vanilla’ Stars***

I’ll admit that I’m not a huge fan of bully romances. I’ll read them if they are by my one click authors, but most of the time I just pass them by. But this one, this one caught my attention. Actually, it was the last two sentences that hooked me and I decided to give it a go with no real expectations, just the hope that I would enjoy it in the end. Well, I more than enjoyed it. I went down the rabbit hole and didn’t want to come out and was quite disappointed when there were no more words to read.

I ADORED Allie. ADORED the girl. She is that down to earth girl who is comfortable in her own skin. Her world has gone sideways in a big way, but she takes it in stride and does what needs to be done to keep her head high. Roman. Okay. Here’s the thing with Roman. In a lot of ways he is the big bad, he made my eyes hurt from all the rolling he caused and the urge to reach out and Gibbs smack was strong ~ oh so strong ~ and yet, it was hard not to fall in love with him, because he is loyal and protective to those he calls his own.

Allie and Roman’s journey to their HEA was a fun one. It was filled with a bunch of eye rolling, growling and a few “Oh No He/She Didn’t” moments, but there was also a bunch of laugh out loud moments, swoon worthy ones and a good dose of heat because Allie and Roman just flowed for me. They had that chemistry that jumped off the page and had me wanting more, but they were also equals in a lot of ways. Roman may have been BMOC, but Allie didn’t bow down, so the balance of power between them was pretty even. Now the big fucking sinkhole in their journey was a massive one in every way and I was totally Team Allie ~ 100%, no questions asked ~ but I gotta say that once Rome figured his shit out, thanks to his friends ~ the boy did good and I loved where things were with them at the end of the book.

This is my first read by the author, and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. The writing was engaging, pacing good and the dual first person POV done very well. There are triggers in this book ~ big ones ~ and the author does make note of it before the books starts, but I felt that they were handled well and from what I can gather will be issues that play out as the series progresses, so there are some things left up in the air when the book ends. 

Now, as you know, I’m a sucker for well written secondary characters and this baby is filled with them. I adored Dominique, Emilo, Aaron, Kasey and Julio. They totally kicked ass. I loved that while Dom and Emilio were totally Roman’s boys, they also thought for themselves ~ it wasn’t just bro code all the way. Aaron ended up being a sweetheart and Julio was just everything! And Kasey, well, I’m definitely looking forward to seeing where the series takes her.

This was a good high school bully romance, first book I have read by this author does deal with rape, if that bothers you I would skip this one. Will definitely  read others.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the advance read, voluntarily read and reviewed all opions are my own

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for giving me this arc copy in exchange for an honest review.
I am really happy that I got a chance to read this book. I am not exactly a huge fan of high school bully romance because I have read a lot of them that turned me off the trope, But wicked devil redeemed it in my eyes. It had everything you would want in a novel like this, the mean girls, drama and many more. I loved how every character was written. I would definitely read more books from this author. 
 I won’t recommend this book for people who are a bit sensitive to topics like this but if you want a change from cotton candy cute romance, you can give this book a try. It was a really nice read and I am glad I gave it a chance.

I’m not going to lie, I love my smutty fantasy novels and wasn’t too sure how I’d go with contemporary new adult, but man did I love this book! I could NOT stop reading it! I was riveted from page one and I gotta say, bully romance is definitely a new favourite trope of mine. The sex scenes were 🔥🔥🔥 and the trigger warning scenes were heartbreakingly intense. I can’t fault this book.

This is the first book I've read from this author and it was such a fantastic story. This story might not be for everyone. The story includes subjects that some readers might not enjoy so if a reader rather not read a story that involves rape among other things, this story might not be for you. I enjoyed this high school romance read and although these characters are young, some of them act more mature than their parents. I absolutely loved Allie. Her character dealt with so much and she handled it the best way she could. I absolutely hated her father Gerald and I wish he would have been killed off. I'm on the fence about Janessa. I want to blame her for her part in how she handled things but she wasn't the only one at fault. Gerald was not where he was needed. I enjoyed Roman, Dominique, Emilio and Aaron. They didn't always handle things in a mature way but how can I fault them when they are teenagers. That scene with Dom had my heart beating so fast. Especially with everything going on in the real world but you'll have to read the story to know what I'm talking about because I don't want to give anything away. I hated Silvia but I guess every school has to have a Queen B and her and her friends did not disappoint. I enjoyed Julio and I was happy his character made an appearance in this story. The story had a happy ending and Allie definitely deserved to be happy. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series and checking out other books from this author. I will be recommending this one to family and friends.

Roman is everything I needed in a hero and more. I really loved how the author created authentic diverse characters and really put them through the wringer. No punches were pulled here and Wicked Devil gave me all the feels!
