Kings of Westbrook High (The Kingston Brothers, #1) Reviews
-
Hold the phone! Stop what you are doing right this second! Yes you! Just stop looking at these reviews, hoping for spoilers.
Go to Amazon and download this book. Just go!
This was hands down the best debut I have ever had the pleasure reading. I laughed, I cried, I got very angry( you know the part), and I cheered!
I am on the edge of my seat waiting for book 2!!!
5 stars no doubt!!!
Just go buy the dang book, you won't regret it. Promise!!!!
Congratulations girl, you wrote a knock out!! -
Nothing i haven't read before. But liked it nonetheless.
Yes and the foursome didn't bother me much. Xo -
Ahhhh!! Kings of Westbrook High had everything I love in my Bullymance stories. OMG. I am obsessed. This story was dark and sexy and filled to the brim with mean boys that love to do dark and dirty things. I loveeeed Callie and Damon so so much!!
Callie was exactly the type of heroine that I love. Strong, assertive with a take no prisoners attitude. 5 stars! ~Ratula -
Beware
This would have been 4 stars if it wasn't for the foursome. I could have done without it. I skipped over that part. She ends up with one, but he shares her with his younger brothers. I was not cool with that. Otherwise it was good. I'm not sure if I will read anything else by this author. -
✽ 1 STARS ✽
This is one of the more idiotic books I've read lately. It's unrealistic, a lot of things don't add up and you can quickly lose a lot of brain cells. Disaster!
-
Excuse me BETHANY. It should be illegal to write that damn good straight off the bat. Are you aware you now have a new crazy fan girl? ITS ME. Im dying to see what else you write because you are amazing girl! I instantly got sucked into the characters and story line, and there was never a single dull point in this book! The Kingston brothers are my new obsession and I cant wait for Wren!

Need to read Wren’s book again now 🖤

A good read
3.5 stars
This book was enjoyable enough that it pulled me out my little reading slump, the blurb had me intrigued, I was excited to find a new to me author. However my issue with this book was I couldn't stop comparing it to Boys of Brayshaw, it wasn't the plot I was comparing but the characters. I didn't feel a major connection with Damon but I did with Wren and Kai his twin brothers, I'm definitely going to be reading their books when they are released
Edited*
After rereading this is now a solid 4 star read. I forgot how much I actually loved Callie and Damon, not sure what I was talking about in my previous review but I 100% felt the connection between both characters. I absolutely still love the twins Wren and Kai and the bond that they were developing with Callie. I’m excited to finally read book 2 and fall in love with Wren and Levi 😍 -
Oh my God, this was so bad. But in a Jessa Kane novella way where it almost feels like the author is in on the joke? At least, I’d like to hope this wasn’t serious lmaoo. You can’t have our heroine, in all earnestness, say ‘yo, teach’ to a teacher and not leave me thinking I’m being trolled. Yeah, this was just so bad. Every single character was a cartoon caricature. Nuance, who?
After having just finished Little Devil, I’m so impressed with how much BW’s writing has improved just from 2020 to 2021. I’m totally on her team. I hate this book with love. -
Intriguing story line, and had more spice than I had anticipated! There were just a few things that were hard for me to wrap my head around and the writing style wasnt to my particular taste. 3.5 ⭐

Incredible! Amazing Bully Romance + So Much More!
This book was incredible!!! I love an amazing bully romance. A book where the male main character goes right for the female main character but the female character, isn’t afraid to give it right back to him. And let me tell you, that was this fully! It is so entertaining. Their back and forth, not only is it wicked hot, it grabbed my attention right away and I couldn’t put the book down.
I fell hard for Damon. But let me tell you, I fell hard for Callie too! Not sure which one I like more. No two people are better suited for one another than Damon and Callie. They were fun to read! Throw in two hot, incredible brothers on top of Damon, Kai and Wren and ohhh, what a book!
So much happened in this story, but it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Callie is brought to live with her new Step Brothers, The Kingston boys! Why, she doesn’t know. And what these boys say goes! But what they don’t know is, Callie doesn’t take orders from anyone. She has been pushed around her entire life and she is done with it. Will these boys destroy her? Or will she break their cold dark hearts?
This is a must devour story. If you love #bullyromance, than this book is for you! I haven’t read this author before, but I definitely need to read other books in this series and anything else this author has written! She definitely will be on my radar now as an instant one-click author! -
This book was incredible, in-creeee-di-ble. My first by the author and m grateful to have found her.
I love a good, strong, kick-ass heroine - no matter how dickmatized she gets, she still kicks life's and everyone's ass.
Loved the chemistry between the h&h, I loved the twins too. I felt like I was in the middle of it all, seeing it unfold all before my eyes which is the best feeling ever, like ever! -
4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stars! Bully/stepbrother romance. Omg, this book was so hot, it mash up of those hot stepbrother books and the kick ass no fucks to give bad ass chick and bully romance. I loved how strong the heroine was. She was a sexy bad ass, and the hero was just gorgeous. Loved the chemistry, this was addictive read.

Refreshing High School Bully Plot
I really enjoyed this book! It was a great read with the right amount of angst, crazy, romance and steamy parts! It was also a refreshing storyline and had a sweet twist to it.
I do have a few complaints though, which keeps it from being a 5 star read. First...there were SOOO many typos. I understand a few here and there, but the missing and duplicate words, along with the wrong word placements bugged me. There were just so many, and I found myself having to re-read sentences a few times to try and understand what was trying to be said. Secondly, the overuse of the same word or phrase over and over! There was too much repetition with “necking a bottle” and “rolling my lips.” That may not bug some people, but I prefer when authors use different words or synonyms instead of repeating themselves over and over. These annoyances were unfortunate because it really was a fun page-turner!
Overall it was definitely a good story, and I will be on the lookout for Wren’s book! Here’s hoping the author makes a couple changes with the writing though! -
Kings of Westbrook High by Bethany Winters is a dark high school romance. This is the first book in The Kingston Brothers series.
The book does come with a caution/warning "This is a full length, dark high school romance with themes some readers might find offensive."
This is the first book of Bethany's that I have read and it definitely won't be my last. I was hooked from the very beginning and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next.
I absolutely loved Callie's character! She is strong but broken. I loved watching her become stronger throughout the book with the support of her new stepbrothers Damon, Wren, and Kai.
The chemistry between Damon and Callie was off the charts! I really enjoyed getting both Damon and Callie's points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
I can't wait to dive into the next book in the series Reckless at Westbrook High so I can get Wren and Levi's story.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves dark romances, bully romances, enemies-to-lovers romance, or romantic suspense. -
I really enjoyed this authors "Little Devil" book so I jumped into this one, hoping to find an easy, entertaining and hot as fuck book and she did not fucking disappoint!!!
Damon, is fucking drool worthy. Like batten down the hatches and get some extra batteries with his rough ways and commanding persona. Goddamn, I wanted to fuck him, three ways from Sunday! He's a great MMC who knows how to dick good! Callie is the definition of insane! She takes no shit from anyone and has gone through hell and back to get her to where she is. You see it in the very first fucking page of the book, she's a fucking badass.
I'm obsessed with Damon's twin brothers and I see there's a book for Wren and fuck me if I'm not going to jump into that book next!
It had some good villains, though, the shit they got away with, was purely fantastical but it kinda worked here cuz you were enjoying the story too much to make a list of book sins. You have the main female villain who's soul totally fucking smells like a bucket of old menstrual covered shit water and her sidekick who has the distinct scent of forever alone. They were perfect for eachother!
It DEFINITELY had a lot of similarities to a few other, I guess, you'd call them HS Bully books, but still found a way to make it it's own. Well, slightly. I still enjoyed it, though. Ok, now for some Wren! Fuuuuuuck -
Damon, Wren and Kai... man alive are these boys 🔥. Callie is mouthy, tough and doesn't take shit from anyone. Callie has had a crap life, her mother abandoned her at birth and left her with her low life father. Her father dies and she is sent to live with her worthless mother, her husband and his 3 sons. The sparks fly between Callie and her "stepbrothers", and the turns this plot takes were fantastic. Callie went through literal hell with her father and has came out an incredible woman. This book is not a reverse harem but let me tell you though the scene where Damon shares her with his brothers 🥵, will live rent free in my head for life.. I cannot wait to read Wren's book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Where has this book been hiding? I read a lot. And by a lot I mean I can read 3-4 books a day so needless to say I’ve pretty much lost faith in finding anything good anymore that even attempts to hold my attention to the point I want to finish it. Now normally I prob wouldn’t give this book 4 stars but after reading so many 1 and 2 star books in the recent 6 months this book actually held my attention and made me block out the outside world are read until it was over. There were a few spots where the story could use some work but the bones of it were right on. I love a good bully romance and this had all the goods. Except the ending a little too over the top there with that one. Also I almost didn’t even open the book seeing as there was a 4 way. But luckily I seen that it wasn’t an RH so I gave it a chance. Because for me RH are a hard no. And the blurb wasn’t very clear that it wasn’t so again I almost didn’t bother but I’m glad I did. -
Callie is so fierce
I absolutely 100% enjoyed this book. Callie is so strong and fierce and she won't let anyone tell her what to do. She is thrown into a world she doesn't want to be in but she won't let them buy her or own her. Damon tries to get her to fall in line but that is just not going to happen no matter what. I loved the throat grabbing passion of this story so much. I loved the mystery and the suspense and how it all worked out in the end. I absolutely can't wait for more Kingston brothers stories as this family is amazing and I need more. -

Bully storyline..... Check ☑️
Naughty forbidden fruit of stepbrothers...Check ☑️
A likeable, strong female... Check ☑️
An alpha male bully with a soft center...Check ☑️
Chemistry and steamy sex scenes.... Check ☑️
A strong story with good secondary characters and page turning twists, turns and emotional ups and downs.
Callie is uprooted from her poor life in Vegas after her father kills himself. For the first time since deserting her after birthing her, her mother decides to bring her into her home where she's married into a wealthy family.
Her husband, Elijah Kingston has 3 sons.. Damon, the oldest and twins, 11 months younger, kai and Wren.
As imaginable they think she's a gold digger and give her a hard time. School is rough as these 3 run it.
But Callie is different. It doesn't take long for them - and everyone else - to see this. The girls are jealous of her and her relationship with the boys which leads to some funny scenes, and the other school boys want to be with her.
It takes Damon a long time to admit why he doesn't want anyone coming into her....
Theres a shadow hanging over the household about the boys mother and how she died... There's a strong suspicion around Callies mom that she did it but there's no proof. This makes callie wonder if her dad really killed himself...?
There's a reason she's been brought here and she's determined to find out why.. But who can be trusted? And what happens if you trust the wrong person?
Loved the turn the book took towards the end and it was satisfying to read!!
Very much loved the last few chapters between Damon and callie and the way their love for each other spreads out amongst their friends but still leaves them in their own little secluded little bubble!!
Looking forward to book 2! -

Check triggers ⚠️
Review: I don't know where to start right now. I want to smack myself for taking forever to find this author. I was excited about a book she has coming out so I decided to start what she already had out and my God. This book will make my top books of 2022. I never wanted this book to end, I could read 5 more books about these characters 100% Callie was badass, sarcastic, fearless and yet so broken. Damon, Kai & wren well let's just say I would like one of each please asap. All my favorite tropes were used in this beauty, taboo, stepbrother, dark, enemies to lovers, high-school. Just trust me that this one is a must read, and this author is going to be a one click for me ✌ Please check triggers if you are sensitive to dark topics❤💋 -
Well, hello there Damon, Wren and Kai. 🔥
I hate to compare books but this book gave me serious Boys of Brayshaw vibes. Strong female character, brothers that live and would die for each other. I loved it!
The story begins with Callie having to go live with her Mom after her father dies. The mom who gave her up and never was a part of her life, by choice. With this she gains three stepbrothers. I love the relationships that end up happening between her and the boys. But let’s talk about the twins. Because sweet Jesus. I love them!! Protective, funny yet deep down sad and high walls up. I can’t wait to read their stories! -
I absolutely loved this unique, well written, dark romance. I literally could not stop reading. I kept sneaking looks at my phone at work because I couldn’t stop thinking about these characters. Callie has been through hell in her life but she only allowed it to make her stronger but not bitter. She is fierce and beautiful. She is forced into the lives of the three Kingston boys and chaos ensues. These boys rule the school and town but will Callie be able to bring them to their knees? This story is unique, heartwarming while also gut-wrenching at times and loaded with steam. I loved this book and it had the perfect ending. I can’t wait for the next book! You need to read this book!

4 Stars
I haven’t read a bully romance kind of book in a while and this one hit the spot. I liked the bad girl and bad boy vibe and the found family tropes in this book.
This book reminded me a little of Elite Kings Club by Amo Jones but like the first book. I think that’s another reason why I enjoyed this book.
It was very fast paced, which I liked because it kept my attention. The romance and the plot where good and I enjoyed myself reading this.
I definitely recommend this book and im excited to read Wren's story. Toodles! -
Flew through this in 1 sitting. I absolutely loved how badass Callie was and how she took no shit from anyone. I loved the friendship she made with Rachel right from the start. I loved Damon and how protective he became. I really enjoyed seeing how all the brothers became super protective of Callie and the relationship she had with all three. Also the threesome scene was HOT. I did kinda guess how the story was going to play out but i still enjoyed it. The ending was super cute and i felt like it fit them perfectly. Im really looking forward to reading Wrens book next.
-
Other than the fact that i can't stand h like her, we have this damn H sharing her with his twin brothers. F''k no, sharing it's not caring . A possessive man can't and wont share his girl EVER.
-
I love Callie so much. That girl is built of granite. BUT DAMON... I want him to destroy me and then share me with his twin brothers.
This book was soooo good and now I’m onto Wren and Levi, so fucking excited -
DNF at 36%. Very Frankenstein-y, stitched together of many of the familiar tropes and twists.
-
Absolutely devoured this book in 4 hours!! If your looking for a dark, sick, twisted book with a kick ass heroine and swoon worthy alpha males then you need this book in your life 😍😍😍😍
