The Hero: Damon Torrence - Went to prison for three years for raping Winter. Though it wasn’t rape, she had been willing but underage while he was 19. Her father was the Mayor who hated Damon. Damon is one of The Four Horsemen (former kings of their high school).

The heroine: Winter Ashby - blind daughter of the mayor, she used to take dance lessons from Damon’s mother. Winter was sheltered as a child and

The Love Story: Damon met Winter at an event for his mother’s ballet classes when they were young that was the day she lost her sight. They met again later when Winter was enrolled in the same high school as Damon, who was senior at that point.



The Four Horsemen consist of Michael Crist, Kai Mori, Damon Torrence and Will Grayson. Damon was sent to prison for 33 months, while Kai and William were sentenced to 28 months each for beating up a cop who was abusive to his sister. William had been in love with the sister.

Michael wasn’t arrested but felt guilt the entire time his friends were away, thinking it was his fault. In Corrupt, the guys had recently gotten out of prison and were doing their best to get revenge. Only things went bad and Damon tried to kill them along with Michael’s brother Trevor. After that, in Hideaway, Damon hid from and taunted his former friends.

You feel for Damon in this one, in previous books, we found out that he was sexually abused by his crazy mother and a father who thinks women are things to be used by men and are good for nothing else. Damon dealt with it by becoming a monster who likes to use people for his own enjoyment, to keep his mind off his own pain.

Damon explains what went on in prison for him and for Will and Kai. Damon had it much worse and after hearing that, you can’t really blame him for wanting revenge. But you also see a bit of a softer side of Damon, when he was with Winter while they were still in high school.

Though Damon is one of those guys that just when you start to like him, he does or says something to show how much of a villain he can be when he wants, and he wants to far too often. And be warned, the scenes between Damon and his mother are more than disturbing. I was cheering when he finally stood up to her.

The narrators are the same as in the previous two books. I liked the male narrator a lot better for this book. He adopted a lower vocal range in this book as Damon than in the other two books and it went well with the character of Damon and I liked it quite a bit.

I can see that. Damon is a hard one to like, but you feel for him. That scene with him and William was unexpected and hot!

I finished. This one was a surprise. For the majority of the book I didn’t think he would be able to redeem himself but he did. And The reveal that his father told him...

Yes! The family dynamics is crazy!! And yeah, you can't help but fall for Damon along the way. I loved Damon and Winter's interactions when they were kids. Especially that time Damon took Winter driving and those colour descriptions. Hey if you can try reading Bully 19th Wedding Anniversary scene, it has an interesting ending😉💫

Welcome!!


Sydney I also think the male narrator did a good job differentiating between the characters he narrated throughout the series. Like when it switched from michael to kai and then to Damon I did feel like I was reading about different characters even though it was the same narrator.

Yes absolutely. Each of them had their distinct voices and personalities and so did the female characters!
