Scarlett Hunter could run...

But she couldn’t hide forever.

The beautiful girl who tempted me.
The heartless woman who broke me.

She might have got away, but I haven’t forgotten... or forgiven her.

And I never will.

Because piece by piece, she’s taken away everything I care about.

And for that she’ll pay.

When I claim my crown at Maddison Kings University, I’m going to make sure hers is tarnished.

Scarlett Hunter is about to experience the revenge of a Legend.

These characters are UNLIKABLE.
5 out of 5 stars
These characters are UNLIKABLE.
What a jerk! I mean that. I don't know if I mean Kane Legend or Scarlett Hunter, though. Both are kinda jerky. Jerkish? Jerksome. I don't know what the term is. They are both jackholes, if you ask me. I like Letty a little more than Kane, but not by a whole lot. I think you are supposed to feel an abundance of sympathy for her, and I do. BUT she's a McJerkyjerk. So if you read the prequel, you know what happened the night eighteen months ago, and if you don't, they refer to a sweaty something-something in a dirty puddle often enough to get the idea. Kane and Letty hate-effed the heckfire out of each other, and nothing good came of it. Eighteen months later, the devil is back, and Letty has seen her nightmare come to life, in that Kane is the embodiment of some heartache unknown to us readers. Cliffhanger level stuff here. So, Tracy Lorraine is at her finest and has to throw in the guys you wish Letty would fall for in the form of two book boyfriends, the Dunn Brothers. She also sets up sexual tension everywhere because she is the devil. I love her, but her writing cave is probably a place called Hell. And I want to say that I dinged her because I found the two main characters hard to like, but I felt it was in that room-to-grow sense that I can't at all fault an author. What a cow?! You know what I mean? So do I recommend this book? Well, I originally wrote my review of The Mistakes You Make by saying to start here because I wished I hadn't met Kane Legend the way I did. Now, I am glad I read it because although both characters are still jackholes, understanding that night gives a lot of context to this book. I recommend reading both! This series is crack for dark romance readers. You will be dying for the next book when you get to the word 'black.' Highly recommend. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary advance copy of this book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good storyline, but some annoyances
    Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    A peeve of mine is when a writer constantly hints about information that you don't know yet. Just say it once and be done with it, then circle back when it's time to reveal. I always appreciate that more than the constant hinting.

    Also, there's grammatical errors that stunt the flow of reading, and I'm not a huge fan of the writing. There's often dialogue between 2+ people without much differentiation between who's actually speaking, so you've gotta work out who's dialogue it is by rereading the passage.

    All in all, 4/5 stars. I'm enjoying it, and the plot and character depth make it easy to get past the annoyances I have. I'll definitely be continuing the series.

    Book 1 in the Madison Kings University starts with a bang! This is a college bully romance. I suggest reads the prequel, The Mistakes You Make, which introduces Kane and Scarlett's twisted past.

    The Revenge you Seek gives some more access to their twisted interactions. Scarlett has moved to a new college to try to get herself back after a breakdown. She has left her dream college and moved back to start over again at Maddison Kings.

    Kane is now trying to get back his life back on track now that his brother Kylie is out of juvenile detention. A dream he had but never thought would come true - to go to college and play football. He is starting at....Maddison Kings.

    When Kane and Scarlett realize they are both at the same school, the shock and the need for revenge are consuming. There is also a supporting cast that will have you swooning.

    Personally I cant wait to see whether they will have books too. This book ends on a cliff and I can' wait to read the rest of their story in book 2.

    Reasons I enjoyed this book:

    Entertaining, Page-turner, Steamy, Twisted, Unpredictable, Wonderful characters

    Okay pump the brakes holy cannoli. This was absolutely amazing literally obsessed with Kane and Letty like I can’t even tell you they had me hooked since the very beginning. I can’t tell you how addicted I am to a love hate and hate love relationship like I’ve kind of always secretly wanted that And boy did these two literally play out my fantasy perfectly if I was in their position I love the slow buildup like we really got to sit back and let it simmer. You know before I got to the boiling over parts and boy did it boil over? I completely loved it was so enthralled so into it so in love with every single one of the characters absolutely amazing, including Luca and Leon Love those two boys to death the way they’re so protective of her like big brother type of protective it is so cute. I think we all know that Luca definitely is feeling and we obviously know the history of Letty feeling a little something something for Luca but obviously knowing that those feelings may have shifted over the yearsbut you know I’ll just have to see where this goes in book two, but seriously though everything was absolutely perfect well done bravo

    Okay, so I've read my fair share of bully romances, so I'm used to the completely unreal characters you often find in these kinds of books. But never have I ever read such a blatant PICK-ME-GIRL like Scarlett before. All the boys are practically enthralled with her, and all the girls want to be her. It gets tiring really fast.

    Overall, I liked the story. It has promise, but it feels quite rushed at times. The writing is oddly structured and phrased at times, as well. The steamy scenes are the sole reason for my 2.5 stars. Those were really freaking good.

    I have to know what happens next now!

    I have no idea how this little gem of a series has stayed hidden from me but I'm so flipping thrilled that I stumbled my way upon it. Thank you little Amazon recommendation gods because I was about to hit a reading slump just before I found it!

    Kane, Letty, the twins, just so many feels and turns as I read through this book. It felt like a whirlwind in the best way. I didn't even realize it was ending until it let me I know I could continue their story in the next book, that's how wrapped up I was whilst I'm normally checking my page count and time left every so often.

    As the story went on I did kind of get an inkling where certain things were leading and possible events that had happened in the past but there's still so much I can't wait to explore and discover!

    This is the first book I have read by this author but will definitely be reading more. I also highly recommend reading the prequel “The Mistakes You Make” as it does provide a lot of additional background information. I will also add that the cliffhanger made me want to scream! I was not expecting it at all and just WOW! Literally counting down the days for the next book.

    “Only one of us is going to win this game, Princess.”

    This bully romance is filled with chemistry! Kane has a need for revenge against Letty and he is consumed with the need to get it. They have a lust/hate relationship and Letty feels pulled towards him.

    I loved this authors writing style and my attention was grabbed throughout the entire book.

    I cannot end this without mentioning twins Luca and Leon. I loved Leon so much! If Letty did not have such a strong connection with Kane, I would really hope she ended up with him.

    “I’ve never been Kane’s but for some fucked-up reasons he can’t stand anyone else having me.”

    Something happened a year and half ago between Letty and Kane and that changed their life forever. Now they hate each other because of the consequences of this terrible day. Revenge it’s what Kane seeks and erasing it’s what she wants more than anything.
    She is trying to rebuild herself after transferred to MKU, what she didn’t count was that Kane also it’s there, after pulling himself together and righting some wrongs for the past year. Their encounter was nothing short of a tsunami of emotions bringing old feelings mixed with the disparo they have for each other now. There’s a lot of secrets that that day hides and strikes them, especially him like a punch in the gut.
    This book had a interesting plot and the development was good.
    Lucas and Leon for me, didn’t do it much. The fact that Letty and Kane didn’t know how to communicate and it was maddening! Just sit and talk people, come on!
    Enough with the riddles and the hiding. What’s so difficult about that. JUST TALK, don’t sit and feel sorry for yourself, that’s why it’s only 3 stars for me. It was good but the drama was to much, to long!
