Bully Rescue (Bullies of New Gothenburg Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Ki Brightly (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 178 ratings
The Washed-Up Fighter Who Can’t Play Nice
Peter Gaffin can be downright vicious, even while using a wheelchair. For years the former back-alley boxer has not only been terrified men from his past would exact their vengeance, but also of his sexuality. After an incident with the cops, Peter is on his way to prison. Behind bars, he won’t be able to repress his fears by being a reclusive alcoholic—or hide himself from the men who once preyed on him.

The Protective Prison Guard
Drew Greene has been working at Trident Falls Correctional for one reason: to keep track of the facility’s most dangerous inmate. The day Peter arrives at the prison, Drew’s solitary mission becomes something more. Peter gradually charms him and he wants to keep Peter safe. When he learns they share a dark secret, one that has ruled and ruined both their lives, Drew’s horror makes him even more determined to protect Peter.

Targeted by Their Past
Things look up when Peter is released from prison. Drew takes Peter home and helps him finish his long physical recovery that alcoholism derailed. Stronger and happier, Peter is ready to move on with Drew and try to repair the damage he caused. There is only one problem—Peter and Drew aren’t able to outrun their past for long. Can they come together to withstand the fallout from the truths they reveal, or will they both end up in prison… or worse, dead?

Bully Rescue portrays a hate group that has been invented. The people in the hate group are not good and are not presented as such; however, Bully Rescue does explore some of the ways individuals might enter and leave those types of harmful associations. As the author, I do not condone or support the ideologies or activities of any hate-based organizations, and this book is in no way meant to romanticize them. Please do not read Bully Rescue if you’re sensitive to this type of material.

Ki grew up in small town nowhere complaining loudly to anyone who would listen about the never-ending boredom, but among all that solitude was time to write, daily bonfires, and an endless stretch of sky to ripen an overactive imagination. Now, living in Erie, Pennsylvania, Ki enjoys the sandy beaches and appreciates those quiet times a lot more. Ki is a beach bum during the summer, takes on more projects than are strictly healthy, and spends as much time as possible with family.

    A story of a seemingly irredeemable man finding his path to redemption.

    Peter didn’t seem like a great man in the previous book, Bully Beatdown, and it was hard to see how he could ever be one. His story though is one of heartbreak and pain and abuse and I loved how Drew was always there to counteract Peter’s negative emotions/thoughts. Both men have dark pasts but together they help each other overcome them. Peter starts to make things right with his son, Angel, and that was a tear-jerker.

    Such an amazing story!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Redemption for irredeemable
    Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2021

    When we met Peter in the first book of this series, I honestly never though I would like him. I was so wrong. Trusting the wrong person sets his life on a course not even he is sure he can come back from. A drunken mistake that should have landed him in rehab lands him a small stint in prison where he meets a guard named Drew. The weight of Peter's mistakes, and Drew's attention breathes life into an addict that has all but lost hope. I would definitely recommend this series set in the wider world of New Gothenburg.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great book about redemption and hope
    Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2021
    This book came with a ton of disclaimers (pls do read them!!), but I'm a fan of Ki Brightly so I hopped in despite some trepidation!

    Peter was an angry high schooler, scraping by in underground fights, trying to find his place in the world when a crush on the wrong guy very quickly got him sucked into a white supremacy group. He suffered trauma after trauma at the hands of its leader. After an accident takes away most of his lower mobility, Peter let alcohol and pills drown his feelings until he finds himself sentenced to 2 months in prison.

    Drew is a man with a past he's not proud of. He works as a corrections officer trying to right his wrongs. When he meets Peter at the start of Peter's prison sentence, the connection is undeniable as the two men figure out that the best way to outrun their pasts and build their future is together.

    This is a super hard book to review because it's not an easy book. The first 3rd is grey and depressing as we learn how people can get sucked into hate groups, preyed upon and turned into monsters. Peter is *not* a good man and while his past explains a lot of his behavior, it's hard to look beyond initially. Drew is just as complicated, just a lot less dark. Peter needs Drew's sunshine to drag him into the light and into a life that was always there if he wanted it badly enough. This book deals a lot with Peter's past trauma and it's not an easy thing to read about even as your heart hurts for him.

    Ultimately this book is about hope - hope that you can find someone who loves you despite your flaws. Hope that your past misdeeds don't make up the sum of who you are. Hope that you can make a better life with people you love.

    I’m never dissatisfied when I visit New Gothenburg and its periphery, and Bully Rescue was no exception. For some reason the summary kind of put me off, but once I actually started it I couldn’t stop - there are some uncomfortable topics that are handled with appropriate sensitivity, and it’s definitely an HEA that left me chomping at the bit for the next book. Loved it.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Darker than I expected
    Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2021
    This one was a bit of a miss for me but that was more my personal preference than the book’s fault. The author is amazing and I have loved most of what they’ve written but I feel like this book was a lot darker and more angsty than others I have read from them. The book was well written and the characters were interesting and well developed, and there was definitely a satisfying conclusion to the book.

    Before reading, I hated peter like really hated him, but then reading this I'm crying for him and understand him. I want him and his son to have the best relationship and I'm so happy he's happy. The rollercoaster of emotions is real. It's an amazing book you better read it!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Trying for redemption and finding love
    Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2021
    Standalone (but has crossover characters from Bully Beatdown). Dual POV. Slow burn. Hurt/comfort. Prison guard Drew is trying to leave his past behind, treating the inmates under his supervision the best he can. Drew’s protective instincts flare when he meets the new angry and bitter inmate Peter, but Peter can’t trust anyone’s kindness and doesn’t believe he deserves it anyway. Both Drew and Peter have shared traumatic history from being members of a hate group, and now that Peter is trying to stay sober he is reevaluating his life but doubts whether he can change for the better. A redemption story for both men, having read Bully Beatdown it was really hard to accept Peter as a likable main character, however the relationship was slow and sweet (although it was almost instalove) and Drew’s constancy was the true foundation liking them as a couple. Would have been better with a little more learning, communicating/getting to know each other between Drew and Peter, but the acceptance, support and comfort between them was well worth the read.

    Wasn't fully convinced how could Peter have a redemption arc, but it was beautifullly done. It was a bit hard to read, I cried a lot. I think it needs a bit of proper trigger warnings, because it's was hard to read some parts of the book, but it's mostly done very respectfully and real, definitely uplifting and encouraging. Ki's talent will never cease to amaze!

    First of wow Drew everyone needs a Drew at your side, manly, honourable, patient, caring, understanding, everything he was just everything, need one of him beside me.
    The start of the book was great interesting and you fell in love with Peter after hating with everything you have from the first book. It shows never judge anyone and also people can change. Towards the end it got a bit boring as it was pretty much only about Peter and Peters feelings and how Peter is doing, Drew was just the background that made Peters life better. Loved how Peter and Angel are trying, didnt get why Peter hated Casey so much, since technically when Casey hurt Peter many moons ago he got him away from Black. I liked how side characters related to other books in these series and surely Brandon gets his own story, you cannot leave us hanging.
    I really liked this book and there was not some weird kink thrown in for the sake of it.

    I don’t usually like “bully” books but I love Ki Brightly’s writing so I gave this series a try and have been really enjoying it. This book is more about psychology than revenge. As the title says it is about a rescue as Peter ends up in the prison that Drew is a guard at and as they get to know each other Drew looks out for Peter. As the story unfolds you come to find out what has lead both men from similar backgrounds to end up in very different places. I feel like I want to write more but I don’t want to give anything away so I will just say that I recommend this book and this series highly.
