Cruel Bully: A Dark Mafia Academy Romance (The Syndicate Academy) Kindle Edition
He’s spent years tormenting me, but now he wants to own me.
I’ve spent years trying to avoid Elias Morales, King of the syndicate academy.
He hated me on first sight, and I learned to hate him.
A hatred that never had any cause, but defined us both.
Elias may be the most devastatingly handsome boy at the academy, but he’s cruel to the core.
Senior year is finally here, and my escape is in sight.
I’ll never have to see my tormentor again once I graduate.
But, Elias doesn’t intend to let me go that easily.
He wants to make sure I’ll never forget him, no matter how hard I try.
He blackmails me when he finds dirt on my family.
Information that could tear our world apart.
I will not let him destroy the one thing I care about.
Which means I have to be his pet for the rest of the year.
He intends to own me and claim my innocence on his terms.
He wants to leave me broken and destroyed in ways I never imagined were possible.
I thought he hated me, but his actions don't make any sense.
They say there is a fine line between love and hate.
I can already feel the line blurring as my tormentor lays his claim.
The question is, will I walk out of the academy free or will Elias finally break me?

- Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2025I am seriously so obsessed with Nat and Elias!! From the first time they, there was heat and desire. As cruel as Elias was to Nat, I saw just how much he adored her. I loved how strong their connection was even after everything. Their story was truly amazing!!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2024I loved Nat and Elias.
I still don't think these are particularly dark, but glad to at least have a bit of fire in this one.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2024It was a pretty good read. However, I don't recall the end explaining what the arrangement was between the 2 families and who would lead the Bratva family. Disappointed that was left out.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2025The book is ok …the spicy scene are well written and good but for me the caracters were underwritten and also the story is similar in all the books in series …bo bad…the idea of the books was good
- Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2024Loved it!!!! Need to find out Camillas story ..such a good series!!!! So far this is my favorite book!!! Great love story!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2022I have chosen to sample books before hitting that "Buy" button, and I am so glad I do. That's how I came to buy this book. It is spicy, it is a bully romance and it has storyline and a group of characters that I fell in love with. It's a story of heirs to the mafias, cartels and syndicates. While they are in training to be the next leaders of the underworld, they still suffer through the same things all high school students go through. There's a lot of spice, but there's also a story here, too. Enjoy.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2022Loved this. 1st book by this author and now I need to find everything she had written. I love a great alpha possessive hero with toxic dark love story. This book had it all
- Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2023And what goes on in our high schools, but over all, it it was a good story and I enjoyed it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bully mafia romance
I thought it was a good bully romance. He blackmails her into being his slave. There are a lot of steamy scenes in the book. It got a bit repetitive at times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elias and Nat
This is kind of a classic story where the bully falls in love with the object of his obsession: from victim to Queen. I loved the connection between the stories and the series and everything is easy to understand and follow but it is intricate enough to keep you on your toes when reading.
