From the gutter to the stars...

Dance is in my blood.

It’s what keeps me sane, out of trouble. It used to keep them out of trouble too.

A group of boys I grew up with.

Xeno, York, Zayn and Dax.

We were a crew once and we ruled the clubs.

Separate we were insanely good, together we were unbeatable. F*&ing on fire.

I was their girl and they were my Breakers.

Until they did something they promised they never would; break my heart.

We were sixteen when they left me.

You see, for kids like us, dance was all we had.

Growing up in a rundown housing estate in London with no prospects can make you view the world differently.

It can make you choose the wrong path.

I chose dance, and they chose crime.

Three years later I’ve won a scholarship to Stardom Academy. I try to forget my past.

But how can I do that when the four boys who hurt me are back?

And this time they won’t walk away even when I ask them too.

Freestyle is book one of this new gritty, contemporary reverse harem academy trilogy for 17+ readers and deals with adult themes and some subjects you may find upsetting. If you love dance, your men on the criminal side, alpha hot holes and the enemies-to-lovers trope, this is for you. Contains foul language and sexual scenes.

She was our first, our last, our everything. Not anymore. It’s been three years. Three years since we’ve seen her, talked to her, laughed with her, danced with her, fucking touched her. Now we’re back. Forgiveness is a luxury we can’t afford. Too much has happened. She believes we betrayed her. The truth is it was Pen who betrayed us. We can’t let that go. We won’t.

'Freestyle' by Bea Paige is the first book of the 'Academy of Stardom' series. Told in single perspective , this book was one explosion of emotions!!

This book has to be different than all the reverse harem books I have ever read. It was perfect in its own way , making me feel so many emotions!! A definite top read of mine!

Pen Scott once belonged to the breakers. She was never welcome to her own house , so she took solace in the dancer group of 4 boys. Boys who eventually took her heart. And then broke it to smithereens. She had to betray them to protect the ones she loved and what hurt the most was their acceptance. Now after so many years , she is finally able to achieve her goal and has got admission into the best dance academy ever. But her dream turns into a nightmare , when she sees her past staring back at her. The breakers are at the academy too , and this time it is her they have decided to break.

I’m no longer part of their crew. I’m no longer their Pen. But I knew that anyway.

York , Dax , Xeno and Zayn are known as the breakers. There used to be one more person in their group. A girl who betrayed them all. Who turned them all to the Monsters they are today. Now they have her again and this time , it is her who is going to be with the broken heart. The one with the broken soul.

This book was one wild ride of emotions for me! Each time a breaker made an appearance with Pen , I literally shivered. The book was phenomenally written and I would definitely recommend this to all the Bully Romance Lovers out there! This book had everything you want , the angst that breaks your heart in the right way , the pain that makes you feel so much and the vulnerable scenes that you want to capture and keep with you forever!
