Disgusting
Spoilers
Pandora is weak and pathetic, like the weakest I have ever read in a bully series. Her comebacks are “fuck yous” to anyone who treats her bad 🙄 like how about fight back. She’s been raped and used by dex and his friends. Her dad even humiliates her. This is not a romance bully series. I don’t understand how she falls for dex. Not realistic at all. He showed no love to her at all, so I don’t see how she ends up falling for him. Dex raped her and sexual assaults her almost every time. He doesn’t even call her by her name. He calls her toy. Then he gives up everything for her. Like wth. This book is silly. I love a good romance bully series, but this book was over the top bullying and dex nor Pandora have no chemistry. This book was disgusting. Kindle Edition A Hurt So Sweet: Complete Dark Bully Romance Series Box Set: Elite of Eden Falls Prep by Isabella Starling
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
5 STARS
Twisted, dark, suspense, chaos, angst, action, drama, and all the steam.
An intense read, 4 very well-written books with a very good storyline, 4 dark books on my taste with a different unique plot. I couldn't put the books down. The volume of the dark is progressive, growing in intensity from book 1 to book 4.
Through the books, I had my theories, but clearly, they were wrong. Very, very, wrong. Nothing turned out to be the way I thought and expected.
The first 3 books, book 1, 2, 3 ends in cliffhangers. Book 4 ends with the HEA that Dexter and Pandora deserve, and where all the secrets are revealed.
This box set also contains a novella, An Ache so Tender which is Minnie and Brazen's story.
So... If you are a dark romance lover and want to read something dark, very good and intense, full of steam, this box set will be perfect for you.

A HURT SO SWEET: VOLUME 1
FIVE MESSED UP STARS for Pandora and Dexter 💞!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is the first book I've read by Betti Rosewood and I was really surprised by this book because it wasn't anything I expected.
I needed to take sleep before writing this review because my feelings were so mixed and they still are.
A Hurt So Sweet is also the first book this year I've read in only one day.
The storyline is very good and it made me turning pages si fast only because I was so hungry to find out what will happen next.
Before you start reading this book, you have to know that this is truly a dark book.
It wasn't similar to any book that I've read before and I read so many dark high school romance.
So, you know what I am talking about.
My heart was so heartbroken for Pandora 😭.
And still, it is.
There were so many times that I wanted to go into the book and protected her from Dexter and his friends.
Usually, I love the main male character, no matter, how cruel he is, because in some time in the book, he changes.
But this didn't happen here.
There were several times that I started to like Dexter, but as fast they came that fast ended.
So, I really hope that in the second book he will somehow change and I'll find out why he was like that, so cruel...
Pandora's and Dexter's relationship isn't romantic. They are forced to marry.
To be together.
But yeah, you can feel that there is some attraction.
Only that, because...
...they don't love each other 💔.
And the end 😱😱😱!
I need to know what was Dexter going to say Pandora 😵!
If you're looking for a romance with truly dark content, this is a perfect book for you and you need to read it immediately!
A HURT SO SWEET: VOLUME 2
FIVE DARK STARS for Pandora and Dexter 🖤!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The first book from this series ended up with a cliffhanger and I couldn't wait to read the next book 😍!
A Hurt So Sweet: Volume Two is much darker and twisted from the first book but there was something in that book, that kept my attention and I couldn't put the book down.
Pandora finally stopped to be only a naïve 17 years old girl who is afraid and doesn't know take stand for herself but after that, she made one big mistake and believed to a person who betrayed her in the worst way possible.
I didn't like Dexter in the previous book but now, when I found out why he is doing what is he doing, I can understand him because sometimes revenge is stronger than anything and it can control our actions.
This book also ended up with a cliffhanger and I can't wait for the next book.
I need to know what will happen to Pandora and Dexter 😱!!!
A HURT SO SWEET: VOLUME 3
FIVE MIND BLOWING STARS for Pandora and Dexter 🖤🖤🖤!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The second book from this series also ended up with a cliffhanger like the first one and I couldn't wait to read this book 😍!
A Hurt So Sweet: Volume Three is much darker and twisted from the first two books. This book kept my attention from page one and I couldn't put the book down.
Pandora and Dexter have changed a lot since the first book.
Everything I thought I knew about them so far in this book turned out to be completely wrong.
Pandora is far from a naïve girl who finds herself in an unwanted environment.
Now, she is ready to fight for herself and take revenge on everyone who harassed her every day.
Dexter, on the other hand, has begun to show feelings for Pandora even though he is still fighting them.
What totally surprised me was the very ending which of course ended with a cliffhanger.
I need to know what will happen to Pandora and Dexter right now 😱😱😱!!!
A HURT SO SWEET: VOLUME 4
FIVE DARK HEA STARS for Pandora and Dexter 🖤🖤🖤!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The third book from this series also ended up with a cliffhanger like the first two books and I couldn't wait to read the last book from this series 😍!
A Hurt So Sweet: Volume Four is extra darker and twisted, unlike the previous three books.
This book kept my attention from page one and I couldn't put the book down because all secrets were finally revealed.
Pandora and Dexter have changed a lot since the first book but they still stayed so complex characters.
From the beginning, Pandora experienced both psychological and physical violence.
And no matter how hard she tried to be strong in this book, it was especially difficult because she no longer thought about her own well-being but about the unborn child.
Dexter has experienced numerous ups and downs throughout the series and changing has shown that behind the violent facade there is a person with a heart that has been broken in the most brutal way in the past.
The end completely thrilled me because Pandora and Dexter got the end they deserved.
If you loved previous books from this series and you also love Isabella's writing style, then this is a book for you!!!
Highly recommended!!!
AN ACHE SO TENDER
FOUR AND A HALF TENDER STARS for Minnie and Brazen 🖤🖤🖤🖤!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟 🌟
I can’t believe I finally had a chance to read Minnie and Brazen’s love story!
I loved how Isabella finished the whole story of Eden Falls with this novella, but I wish it was a little longer after all.
Minnie and Brazen are two characters we met right away in the first book in the “A Hurt So Sweet” series and their love story was doomed from the start.
But thanks to Brazen’s bravery, in this novella, their love story got its new twist and ending what Minnie and Brazen deserve.
If you're loved the previous books from A Hurt So Sweet and you also love Isabella's writing style, then this is the book for you!!!
*This novella is a part of A Hurt So Sweet box set! Kindle Edition Volume 1
Holy wow! That was an intense read!
The drama, the intensity, the chaos made for a breathtaking, and anticipated read.
I was not expecting this story with the angst and atrocities and WOW!
Bettie Rosewood this story just made me grasp and hang on for the ride!
Volume 2
Absolutely flawless!
I thoroughly and jaw droppingly am enjoying this series.
Pandora, such an naïve innocent young lady, but she is catching on to the tricks of these Firstborn's of Eden Mills. But will it be enough?
And Dexter, I want to hug him for his protection of one person, and smack him for his treatment of another. He makes my moods swing so fast that I can hardly keep up!
And now Easton enters the picture, and WOW, just WOW, he may be worse than Dexter!
Volume 3
This series has been agonizing and sensational all at once!
Volume three was even better than the first two volumes, and that is not an easy feat!
Eden Mills is a place with unbelievable characters, and the residents are ruthless and callous. The Prep school students are cruel and brutal. But this makes for an interesting backdrop for the couple who are intended to be together but destined to be torn apart.
Volume 4
A sensational ending to an awesome series! Kindle Edition Honestly disappointed because there's a lot more better dark reads out there. I read this author's book (Adrian's vengeance) and I LOVED it. She definitely has the capacity to write emotional, intense powerful dark romances. And I think she should stick to the recipe she used here. Cause this series was???
It had no proper character development... I didn't like any of the characters, as in none of them... the storyline consisted of so much sex and in fact, book 4 was the best cause I felt like there was more storyline happening. Otherwise, the first 3 books for me were 'hmm, what other degrading humiliating things can Pandora go through?'
This has no character depth. Every one of the characters in this book are so unrealistic in terms of emotions, actions or having a brain so it was hard to connect to any of them, and hence the story.
Pandora was so wanton and got wet at anyone touching her, she did sexual things with every single guy in this novel... besides her dad (thank god). She wasn't strong at all. Dex humiliated, degraded and continuously shares her (Which she doesn't mind anyways). As in she LOVES it. I don't mind when my females like being degraded in bed, but they degraded her throughout the first 3 books. And she loved it. But it was continuously that... she never stood up to herself ... for the first 3 books, she promised and swore she'd get all of them back. But in the end, they all end up one big happy family.
Her wanton behavior was too much. Smut was used so much that the storyline, depth, character development didn't have space here. Even when she's in a coma, after something DESPICABLY HORRIBLE happens to her, she dreams of getting wet and horny with Dex.
This was very much a contrast to the book I read of hers (Adrian's vengeance).
I'm not going to carry on with the books... it could be for you if you like meaningless, depthless but smutty and action filled storylines which don't necessarily make sense.
I like a little more depth to my stories.
2 stars cause the side story with Lily Anne was good.... I actually wish this storyline was written by another author who could've made it more deep and meaningful. And it started good. And book 4 was a little better.
If you want to know specifics about safety, not safe at all. He gets BJs from his side chick in the beginning of book 1 (i think once?) and she sleeps with all 4 main guys (sex and all) and sucks more D's out there (she loves it of course). No sharing with OW. Kindle Edition
He'll make her kneel for him in front of the entire school...
Pandora Oakes is an outsider. Switched at birth and now bullied at her new school in Eden Falls, Pandora clearly doesn't belong in the rich, preppy town. Her family hates her and her fiancé Dexter Booth is a cruelly handsome monster.
Dexter is cruel because he can afford it, but also because he can't stand Pandora - the girl who ruined everything. Because of her, he's forced to keep dark secrets to protect the person he loves most. And that is not Pandora.
Just because they take out each other's darkest desires on one another doesn't mean Dexter gives a damn about the girl. And Pandora is just too much fun to tease. Especially when Dexter's best friends join in... A Hurt So Sweet: Elite of Eden Falls Prep
Isabella was the first dark romance writer I read and I thought this isn’t something I can get into, but boy was I wrong! When I was given the opportunity to review this collection, I was thrilled to read another of her dark romances and true to form she did not disappoint with this collection! Her writing pulls you in before you know it and while you are reading these naughty things and knowing it isn’t right you simply cannot stop! I love a box set, knowing I’m ready in order and having them all together just added to my delight.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Kindle Edition A Hurt So Sweet: Volume One: If you're a fan of well written, fast-paced, intense, dark, twisted, intriguing, sexy, and dirty stories filled with twists and turns, drama, suspense, mystery, revenge, plenty of heat and a cliffhanger that will leave you begging for more, then you definitely need to read A Hurt So Sweet by Isabella Starling.
A Hurt So Sweet: Volume Two: This is the second book in the Elite of Eden Falls Prep series, and it picks up where the first book ended. There is just something about this series that makes it next to impossible to look away. With so many questions and very few answers, this dark and twisted story is packed with lies, betrayal, angst, unpredictable characters, dark secrets, revenge, and so much more. This book is not a standalone and book one should be read before reading this book. It also ends on a cliffhanger.
A Hurt So Sweet: Volume Three: The third book in the Elite of Eden Falls Prep series and is not a stand-alone. This well written, dark and twisted edge of your seat romance will keep you up way past your bedtime. The author's writing takes you through a roller coaster of emotions, with the perfect amount of suspense, secrets, lies, twists and turns, angst, bullying, deception, so many questions but very few answers, humiliation, flawed characters, and a cliffhanger that will have you asking yourself, What happens next?
A Hurt So Sweet: Volume Four: The explosive finale to the Elite of Eden Falls Prep series. This well written dark High School Bully romance has twists and turns that keep you on the edge-of-your seat, as well as betrayal, revenge, secrets, angst, suspense, drama, plenty of heat, and of course, a happily ever after.
I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.
Kindle Edition I was hoping for a stronger female lead after all what Pandora has been through.
I mean yes - she came through stronger despise all the horrific things she has been through the entire plot.. but wtf? I expected Pandora to grow a stronger backbone.. this was little weak.
It was annoying to see the female lead helpless most of the time..
In general - The story was intimidating and good .. It had me hyped.. However I felt it was also rushed and shallow at the end. Where were the siblings? The bonding? It was so poorly.. Almost too sad maybe it was all how it was supposed to be .. I don't care.. I just felt something was missing from the family front.. I loved how the stepmother stepped up at the end.. hands down.
It was very dark and twisted guys.. it doesn't bother me however personally I like the female lead stronger. Kindle Edition Dexter and Pandora have quite a wild story. This box set contains all the story for this couple. Dexter and his friends were cruel and sadistic to Pandora. A dark intense read full of humiliation and darkness. A story full of triggers for some readers.
I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am leaving a review. Kindle Edition Wow ... just W.O.W!
This series is really totally something else ....
I've read Ms. Starling's books before, including those she wrote under her pseudonyms, and have always loved them. But this series takes dark, twisted and kinky to a whole new level!
I've never read about protagonists this effed up and a plot this dark ...
I have previously read all the individual volumes in this series, originally written under her pen name Rosewood, and always thought to myself, really every single time, that the next volume can't come fast enough!
Every single book is captivating from the first page and kept me hooked throughout this dark, sexy and twisted story. This series is addictive, and you won't be able to put it down once you’ve started reading because the suspense is a killer and the plot is so fast-paced and devilishly twisted that you will love and hate Ms. Starling at the same time.
