Bend Him Break Him

By: MN Bennet

Narrated by: Eddie Blake

Colton has always walked the line of golden boy meets bad boy. It helped catapult his popularity as the starting pitcher in his first year of college and during the scandalous exposé when he came out as bi. But Colton struggles with the accolades he receives, balancing who he is versus who he was versus who he’s expected to be. Because before Colton was a queer icon for star athletes, he was a closeted bully who made one guy’s life completely miserable.

Isaac hates Colton. But to be fair, Isaac hates everyone—maintaining an icy distance from even his closest friends. Mostly, Isaac wants to shove Colton off the pedestal he’s been placed upon. Just because he came out publicly doesn’t mean he’s some sort of hero. It doesn’t help that Isaac once fawned over the closeted jock in high school. He cared deeply for Colton and did everything he could to please the star athlete, even keeping their private rendezvous a secret. Which meant Isaac paid the price of utter humiliation, taunting, and bullying as the weirdo loner gay guy with a creepy crush.

When Isaac catches Colton cheating on an exam, he plans to ruin his enemy by destroying his academic standing and costing Colton his baseball scholarship. Isaac wants nothing more than to see Colton kicked out of campus. But when the jock offers to do anything to keep this a secret, Isaac decides to test the lengths Colton is willing to go to make things right between them. Isaac’s over secrets, but this is an opportunity unlike any other. He presents an ultimatum that’ll push Colton to the edge of his limits. In this sordid hate-fueled lust, all Isaac wants is revenge and all Colton wants is redemption.

Absolute perfection!

I had read this book and knew that the minute the audiobook came out that I would need to have these two in my ear and this did not disappoint! I can see myself listening to this again and again!

LOVED IT

I absolutely adore these boys and their story !! Isaac’s journey is so incredibly relatable and inspiring as he shows courage through vulnerability and strength through facing his fears.

Isaac and Colton my babies ❤️❤️

Ok so this is my second time reading this book because I just love it so much. It’s so sweet and sexy! Second chances are hard to come by, especially when you’ve messed as royally as Colton has. Isaac gets his but also gets more than he bargained for… or… blackmailed for. Love comes in all different shapes and sizes and in their case it’s awkward and uncomfortable. But only at first. 😘

Feel The Grumpy Goth Love

I absolutely loved this story! Enemies-to-lovers and revenge/redemption arcs are some of my favorites, and Isaac and Colton’s journey delivered on both. Their relationship was packed with emotion, tension, and constant push-and-pull that kept me hooked from start to finish.

Once they finally went public, it truly felt like it was the two of them against the world—no matter who or what stood in their way. A powerful, passionate read!

A New Favorite Bully Romance

“𝕄𝕒𝕪𝕓𝕖 𝕚𝕗 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕤𝕔𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕞 𝕕𝕒𝕕𝕕𝕪 𝕥𝕠 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕕𝕦𝕘𝕠𝕦𝕥, 𝕪𝕠𝕦’𝕝𝕝 𝕘𝕖𝕥 𝕥𝕠 𝕡𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙, 𝕓!𝕥𝕔𝕙.”

The way in which I binged this book and immediately wanted to reread it all over again is absolutely crazy.

I loved these characters and their dynamic so much. The bullying? CRAZY. The role reversals from their high school trysts? WILD. And the way that Colton submits to Isaac still has me in a chokehold WEEKS after finishing it.

The Narrator did a phenomenal job with this book as well!
