ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 9, 2020
He walked into school on his first day and didn’t care what the other students thought of him.
Dark. Broody. Dangerous.
He didn’t care where I cared too much.
Then the rumors started.
He failed his senior year at his previous school. His brother committed suicide. It’s his fault.
And for one blessed week, I wasn’t the topic of discussion.
You see, I’m the daughter of a socialite who has no soul. I’m the one paying for her sins. They never let me forget where I come from, and she never stops telling me what a failure I am.
But then Colton Lawson looks at me, and unlike the other students, his dark gaze seems to see through the lies spun around me.
He starts appearing out of nowhere, fighting my battles for me only to stalk away, making me feel like I’m nothing but a nuisance.
My name is Brie Weinstock, and this is my story of how a boy walked into my hell and fought for me, even though I never expected him to.
The question is, am I strong enough to repay the favor?
This is a high school romance that deals with sensitive subjects. Adult readers only.
••••••••
REVIEW: Not My Hero by Michelle Heard is a stand alone full length novel in The Black Mountain Academy Series. This series is also a spin off of the Trinity Academy and Cold Hearted Heir series.
Brie Weinstock has had a horrendous life. Facing almost daily physical and mental abuse from her mother Serena Weinstock who we met in The Trinity Academy. Serena hates her life, hates what she has become and she takes it all out on her daughter – daily! Brie does everything in her power to avoid the bully she lives with and the bullies at school. The bullies at school are brutal. Constant taunts, pushes and disgusting pranks. Brie has no safe haven. No place to go where she feels safe and can just breathe. That is until Black Mountain Academy gets a new make student.
Colton Lawson (who we met in Coldhearted Heir) has moved to a new town with his mom. Which means a new school. But his first day doesn’t go quite as he thought it would. He sees a girl that is constantly being bullied. She reminds him so much of his brother Brady. Brady and him suffered years of mental and physical abuse at the hands of their father. Until Brady could no longer take it and he committed suicide. Colton sees so much of Brady in Brie and he just wants to see her stand up for herself, and at the same time he wants to protect her.
Brie is such a sweet, innocent character who does not deserve the life she has been dealt. Her mother is brutal and evil. My heart broke for her and all she had to endure.
Colton is strong, protective and struggling with the loss of his brother. He instantly sees Brady in Brie and how she reacts to the world around her. He becomes the only friend she has. But the closer Brie and him become the more feelings he begins to experience. After a truly bad incident with Brie and her mother – he takes her to his house to stay. Vowing to keep her safe. But can he keep her safe from herself and her self loathing thoughts?
I enjoyed the way Colton took care of Brie. You could feel her struggle on every page. Thoroughly enjoyed! And while it deals with some horrific social issues it also shows you the power in helping another human in their time of need. I recommend all of the aforementioned series listed. It doesn’t get any better than continuing the lineage and the stories
