The First Time

Rogues of Everly Prep

By: Wendi Wilson

Narrated by: Kasi Hollowell

I might have gone from rags to riches, but this is no fairy tale.

I never thought I’d long for the days of pacing the living room of our tiny single-wide trailer, waiting for Mom to get home from her shift serving drinks at The Silver Fox. Or my boring night shifts at the convenience store. Even dodging my skeezy ex-boyfriend’s bumbling attempts to seduce me.

To say my life wasn’t great was an understatement. But at least it was mine.

Or it was until Mom came home and announced she was getting married. That was the day my life became unrecognizable.

As if a new home and a new family weren’t enough, I found myself enrolled at Everly Prep — an exclusive academy where the rich send their pampered and privileged teenagers to be educated.

And it was immediately obvious I didn’t belong.

Patronizing staff members, mean girls, and snobs galore greeted me as I roamed the hallowed halls, but it didn’t bother me. I invited them to do their worst.

Then I met them.

Seth, Theo, Cooper, and Mason — known as “The Rogues” — ran the school with iron fists and wicked tongues, making Everly Prep their own private kingdom. They were powerful, gorgeous, and brutal, a deadly combination that made them invincible.

And I was the perfect target…or so they thought. But I'm Chaz Miller, and I don't go down without a fight.

This is a dark high school romance with light bullying themes. Though there are four male main characters, it will not be reverse harem. There is one main love interest and there will be an HEA...eventually.

Dark High School Romance

The First Time by Wendi L. Wilson is a dark high school romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Kasi Hollowell. This is the first book in the Rogues of Everly Prep series.

The book comes with a note from author "This is a dark high school romance with light bullying themes. Though there are four male main characters, it will not be reverse harem. There is one main love interest and there will be an HEA... eventually."

This is the first book of Wendi'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 love Chaz and Joshua's friendship.

I can't wait for the next book in the series The Second Move to be released on audio so I can get more of Chaz, Mason, Cooper, Theo, Seth, and Joshua.

Kasi did an amazing job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of her work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like dark romances, bullying romances, or contemporary romances.

Rogues of Everly Prep

The First Time (Rogues of Everly Prep) is a dark high school romance with a light bullying theme and the darkness hasn't come out yet. There is an air of mystery and secrets lurking in the shadows. This ends with a cliffhanger, however it ends att a good point in the story. The author pulls you in and you need to find out what happens next. Betrayal, deception, lies, rumors and passion all blended together to create a exciting listen. Looking forward to listening to the next audio in this trilogy.


Kasi Hollowell is a excellent narrator and she did a fantastic performance with portraying all the characters voices. She gave each character than own individual voice. A flawless performance enhanced the experience of listening.

❤❤❤❤❤

I absolutely love Chax and the Rogues.... not the Rougettes. Those girls can go suck a d***, wait maybe one did 😉. First time listening and reading a book by Wendi Wilson. I can say I'm becoming a fan and can't wait to listen to more. Kasi Hollowell killed it on narrating thos book and I can't wait to listen to more!

Highly Enjoyable! Can't Wait For More....

The First Time is book one in the Rogues of Everly Prep series and is a high school bully romance. Chaz lives with her mom in a trailer park before her life is upended when she somewhat abruptly moves in with her mother's new fiance and his son and starts at a new prep school for the elite. Because of where she came from, she is of course harshly judged by the those at the top in the new school, including her soon to be stepbrother who is part of "The Rogues".

The book is definitely not lacking any drama, though I did find it to be a little different than some of the other bully romances I have read before. I really liked Chaz's relationship with her new bestie Josh, and I liked that Chaz's relationship with Seth, her future stepbrother, wasn't completely antagonistic, or turn into one of a love interest, as often seen in these types of books. I liked Chaz's character a lot.

This was my first book by this author and I cannot wait to read the rest in the series. I know there is definitely going to be a lot more drama and I am sure I will be kept on my toes but I am interested to see what will happen with the characters.

Kasi Hollowell did a wonderful job with the narration of this story. I have listened to several books that she has narrated and always find them to be highly enjoyable and this was no exception. #PinkFlamingoProductions #TheFlock
