They say your first love leaves a mark. For Calliope James, it didn't only leave a mark, it tore out her heart and left it bleeding on the ground. He was her best friend. Her first kiss. Her everything. Until one day, he wasn't. Zachary Messiah will never forget the girl with eyes the color of whiskey. But he's not that boy anymore. Cold. Cruel. He's devoid of emotion. Their paths were never supposed to cross again. But love doesn't always play by the rules.

"Girls like you aren't exactly welcomed at a place like this, so keep your head down and look the other way." Those were the exact words of my social worker when she dropped me in my newest hellhole, a place for "troubled teens". I didn't listen, and now I'm on their radar. Too bad for them, I don't follow rules. Too bad for me, they're determined to make sure I do. Inconceivably attractive and treated like kings...these are the boys of Brayshaw High.

Story
He told me to settle. He asked what was wrong with me. He called me an easy target. That was within minutes when I first met Caden Banks. I labeled him an asshole, but he was more than that. Arrogant. Smug. Alpha. He was also to-die-for gorgeous, and my stepbrother's fraternity brother. Okay, yes I was a little naive, a tad bit socially awkward, and the smallest amount of stalker-ish, but if Caden Banks thought he could tell me what to do, he had another thing coming.

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 that 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. 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.

West Golden - so easy to hate, yet so hard to resist. Don’t let that pretty face of his fool you. He isn’t the boy next door, or the kind you trust with your heart. He’s the devil in designer jeans, with all the charm of a bona fide psycho. Trust me. He swears I did something to cross him before I even stepped foot inside Cypress Prep, but it’s a lie. No one knows better than me that I’m all out of chances. His money, status, and the loyalty of his equally entitled brothers makes him seem untouchable. Only, I know better than that.

Publisher's Summary
From the author of the Chastity Falls Series comes the first book in a brand new YA/NA crossover series
When 17-year-old Eloise Stone finds herself half way across the world, moving into her uncle's pool house, she expects things to be...awkward. She doesn't expect to come face-to-face with the boy from last summer. The boy who made her feel things she'd never felt before. But a year is a long time, and Lo isn't the same girl she was then. Besides, they're family now.
It's weird.
Maverick Prince acts as if he doesn't remember her, treating Lo like nothing more than an annoying younger sister, and not in a "he cares" way, just in a "he's an arsehole" way. One thing's for sure, he isn't just dangerous for her sanity - he's hazardous for her heart.
Lo thought moving to Wicked Bay was the worst of her problems, but as life begins to unravel around her, she's going to find out it's only the beginning....

I’m completely addicted!!!
This is my first book by this author, and I am sooo addicted!!! This is the first book in the Wicked Bay Series and it starts off great. It has so much angsty romance and high school drama. Maverick is the dark, troubled guy who Lo (Eloise) falls for. He’s actually her STEP- cousin....yes, I said STEP! The side characters are great too. All well written, with really great dialogue and great character development.
The story reminded me of Erin Watt’s The Royals, and Siobhan Davis’ The Kennedy Boys. Of course, not exactly, it has its own unique story. But we shall see as the series goes on. I’m excited to continue on!! I highly recommend it!!
I should also note that I listened to this on audible. It’s narrated by Luiza Westwood, she is fabulous!! I loved the audible!!

Just okay
This book was just okay for me. I don’t see why ppl see her so special. Majority of the time she’s running away from all her problems and won’t let ppl really explain to her. Always assuming and guessing. I don’t see the chemistry between the heroine and hero. They don’t talk and she says she hated him but then let him have sex with her when he asked? Sorry that’s just not believable to me. Luiza did an excellent job at narrating.

A little confusing
I have to admit I was a little confused at the character dynamics in the beginning of the book. Who’s related to who and the reason Maverick stays away from Eloise. It didn’t and still doesn’t make sense. Although confusing I’m interested enough to purchase the next book.

A WICKED start & I LIKE the launch💗⭐️💗⭐️💗
7 months ago, Eloise’s (aka Lo) mom and brother died in an accident that Lo barely survived herself. After weeks of intensive care and couple months rehabilitation, loss and grief send her on a destructive path. Lo knows she’s worried her father with reckless behavior, but recognizes the alcohol & sometimes drug use for what it is, a way to numb herself from the deep grief of losing her brother and mother. Before the tragedy, Lo was a good girl & her father decides they both need a new path to be healthy. The book begins at the point her father introduces her to that path of change, which she is not happy about, and moves them to America (from England) to be closer to his family, He presents this to her as the chance they need together as a fresh start, and going along out of love for her father and guilt over his worries for her, begins the book with their arrival in America.
He arranged for them to live for a month or so at his wealthy brother’s home, along with his wife & their four teens (all around Lo’s age). But what she didn’t expect to come face to face with the mysterious guy she met on her only other trip to America a year prior, and just months before the accident that changed her life forever. But that captivating beautiful boy was now changed just like Lo. He was angry and violent, either treating Lo dismissively or looking at her with dark empty eyes and that's not all! Lo finds out the real reason for coming to the states and she rightly feels betrayed by the only family member she has known.....and it seems like everyone else is in on the secrets but her...
I really liked this 1st book! It reminded me of the dynamics in some of my fav NA romance series;
⭐️“Paper Princess” (the Royal series, by Erin Watt)
⭐️“Fallen Crest High” (fallen Crest series by Tijan) my all time fav in this genre
⭐️“Finding Kyler” (the Kennedy Boys series by Siobhan Davis)
⭐️“Binding 13” (Boys of Tommen by Chloe Walsh)
Can’t wait download next book in series!

Could have been better
The storyline as a whole was interesting. Kept me wanting to listen. The characters were well written however I feel the plot is awkward. I feel the protagonist is unrealistic about how she deals with her fathers love interests. She is far too mature, especially after everything she's been through. She's also way to accepting of her grandparents. Also how she allow the male lead character to keep on omitting important information. Very unrealistic. However the story was good enough that I finished it.

Perfect Fit
From the moment the narrator began I was invested. When I read this book, I found difficulty in following who was who in the beginning. Thankfully the narrator made the characters as accessable as she did. The main character, 'Lo', was someone I couldn't help but root against while reading the book.. but hearing her come to life with audio, I switched 180. I found her funny when I believed her to be dry, I became empathetic to her struggles. I love the use of accents and how quickly she executed them midsentence. Easy and enveloping 8 hours WELL spent. Looking forward to hearing the next one!

Great book, not 100% on narrator
Another good book by L.A Cotton. The only thing I didn’t like was that it was a confusing family mix of who’s who and I didn’t feel that intense spark that was supposed to be there between the Maverick and Eloise. Maybe the burn was just too slow...also I couldn’t stand the narrator. She talked too fast and always had an angry tone to her voice which really put me off. I’m glad the next book is both from his and her perspective... anyhoo here’s on to book 2 now.
