Cruel Intentions: A Dark College Bully Romance (Blackmore University)
Debut dark romance author Cora Kent brings you a forbidden romance between a college bully and the innocent daughter of the woman that married his father.
Her mother is a homewrecker; I have no doubt that she is, too.
She bats her eyelashes and pretends she’s innocent, but I know the truth.
The blood in her veins is made of mud, and I will purify it.
Kaye Pennington is the daughter of the woman that ruined my life, now I will ruin hers.
It’s not fair; nothing in life ever is.
When her innocence has been plucked like a flower…
When she’s been made to pay for her sins…
When she stands before me a broken reed…
Her mother’s debt will be repaid.
Until then… she’s mine.
And I do whatever I want with my property.

Cora Kent knows how to write dark romance. Not only did I read the prequel and fall in love but Cruel Intentions was more than I had anticipated it to be. In every aspect this was amazing. The plot was a five star, the characters are five star, the world is current, the details were five star. I loved the dual point of view. I also loved when it switch characters it back tracked just a little so you could understand how the other one felt in that moment. I did not expect the plot twist about three quarters of the way through. It made for the best ending that I believe you could have from a stand-alone book. I rate the spice a 3.5 star. There was really great parts but the book didn’t revolve around just graphic sexual scenes which made it that much more enticing. I cannot wait to read Cora’s other books as well. I highly recommend this. I have added pictures with quotes and the tropes.
