ABOUT THE BOOK: Release ate June 15, 2020.

He walked into school on his first day and owned it.
I guess that’s what happens when you’re a prick, rich, and you’re best friends with the ruling school’s king.
Also didn’t hurt he’s drop dead gorgeous.
That’s all fine.
I mean, I have nothing to do with them.
I’m a loner, invisible, and that’s how I wanted it to be.
I was even proud of it, until I wasn’t.
Until I saw a girl kneel before him.
Until I couldn’t look away.
Until he caught me watching.
His name is Blaise Devroe. My name is Aspen Monson.
He only knew how to get, command, and demand attention.
I knew how to do everything but that.
And this is our story.

REVIEW:RICH PRICK by Tijan is a stand alone, contemporary, YA/NA, erotic, romance story line set in the author’s Crew Series and Fallen Crest World. This is high school seniors Blaise Devroe and Aspen Monson’s story line. Aspen is Nate Monson ‘s sister (Fallen Crest High), and Blaise is the half-brother to Cross (Crew 1 & 2). RICH PRICK can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the original series is revealed where necessary. Several characters cross over for cohesion and familiarity.

NOTE: If you have not read the author’s Crew Series or Fallen Crest, there may be some spoilers in my review.

WARNING: Although the characters are high school seniors, the story contains graphic sexual scenarios intended for mature readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Blaise and Aspen) RICH PRICK follows the building relationship between high school seniors Blaise Devroe and Aspen Monson. Blaise Devroe’s return to Fallen Crest High, for his final few months of senior year, comes with the adulation and power trip for the popular crowd but quiet student Aspen Monson keeps to herself, secretly stalking our story line hero. With a reputation that precedes his introduction to our story line heroine, Blaise is the new leader of the Fallen Crest Crew, a leader who is about to be taken down by a girl who struggles with loss and loneliness in a world surrounded by money and fame. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Aspen and Blaise, and the potential fall-out as Blaise’s temper threatens his relationship with Aspen, and his relationship with the people he loves.

Blaise Devroe keeps secret a dark and tormented past including the revelations about a family he never knew. With his best friend Zeke, Blaise becomes the man to beat but a man who beats himself on a daily basis. Aspen Monson is a lonely young woman whose parents are too busy with their own lives to remember their daughter back home. Having lost one brother, and the other barely acknowledging her existence, Aspen is often on her own, preferring to watch from the sidelines until the day she can finally walk away.

The relationship between Aspen and Blaise is one of immediate attraction but Aspen finds herself the voyeur for a number of Blaise’s sexual conquests. Unable to forget about the green eyed beauty caught watching our hero in action, Blaise searches out Aspen Monson, and their relationship begins to surpass anything they could have imagined. The $ex scenes are intimate and erotic without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including Blaise’s group of friends: Zeke Allen, Brian, Branston, Jamie Conway and Oliver Ashlome; his brother Cross and his girlfriend Bren, and sister Tasmin,; his mother’s husband Griffith, his father Stephen, as well as his ex-girlfriend Mara Daniels; Aspen’s brother Nate, their parents, and housekeeper Miss Sandy.

RICH PRICK is a story of family dysfunction, tempers, secrets and lies; betrayal, grief, love and acceptance. The premise is engaging, entertaining and captivating; the characters are young and aggressive; the romance is seductive and intense. As per most YA story lines, the adults are mostly oblivious and absent, wrapped up in their own worlds and problems; the mean/jealous girls are an early threat; the potential for a love triangle is dangled but never comes to fruition. The male lead as well as the secondary and supporting characters are very sexually active and somewhat misogynistic. If you are a fan of Tijan’s FALLEN CREST HIGH and CREW Series, this one’s for you.

I’d done my research. Zeke Allen’s cabin was set a good ten miles away from the nearest neighbors. I should’ve been in the clear to sneak onto their land, do a little freestyle camping, and listen to the party sounds like the loser I was. But noooo. I was about to get company.
As I snuck out of my tent, and realized who it was, I almost crapped my pants.
It was Blaise DeVroe, holding hands with Mara Daniels.
As popular girls went, Mara Daniels was one of the nicer ones. She was on the dance team. Dark hair. Shorter, but athletic. The problem with Mara was that she was friends with the other popular girls. Some of them were nasty—hence the reason I wasn’t friends with them. Not that they’d tried to get to know me. Not that I even registered on their radar. But then again, that’s what I did.
I didn’t engage. I didn’t attend. I was on the edge. I was the invisible girl, and here I was, being the invisible girl once more, but man…
When I saw it was him, and then saw how his hand went from holding hers and guiding her to a tree to slipping around and grabbing her ass, something came over me. I couldn’t retreat back to my tent. I couldn’t even stay hidden behind a tree and just listen.
I know, I know. This was all sorts of wrong, but Blaise was Blaise.
He’d become the guy in my dreams, my weird schoolgirl fantasies. He was my high school crush. Everyone had one. If you didn’t, you’re even weirder than me, and that’s saying something. So when I started salivating over Blaise DeVroe, I kinda just let myself go. I mean, nothing was ever going to happen. Guys like him didn’t date girls like me. They didn’t even notice girls like me.
I wasn’t crazy. That’d make me all sorts of delusional.
I was a realist. I knew my place in life’s hierarchy. I was at the bottom. I was not the very bottom—because of my family—but socially, I was barely one rung up the ladder.
Anyway, when Blaise started kissing Mara, when Mara knelt in front of him, when she opened his pants—I lost all train of thought.
And, oh my God.
My whole body was awash with sensations, and I was captivated. Captivated! Entranced. Mesmerized.
I could not look away.
Then I felt throbbing and a warm feeling between my legs, and it was game over. It was all I could do not to make a sound, because I wanted to. So bad. I wanted to moan. I wanted to touch myself, but I didn’t. I kept myself reined in, but watch? Oh yeah. I watched.
I couldn’t not watch.
I watched the whole thing.
I loved the whole thing.
And then at the end of it, I almost died.
