Her Rustanov Bully

The (Possibly Romantic?) Tale of How I Pucked Around and Found Out

By: Theodora Taylor

Narrated by: Sydney Zaylin, Wen Ross

Just in case you were looking for a blueprint on how to accidentally earn yourself a bully, let me walk you through how I got mine.

First Mistake: Agreeing to my brother’s crazy, horrible scheme to seduce and drug my college’s hockey star, Yom “Yum” Rustanov, to get him disqualified for doping before his big international championship game. In the dictionary under femme fatale, you’ll find me—in the antonyms section.

Second Mistake: Accepting Yum Rustanov’s invitation to his hotel room when my conscience wouldn’t let me spike his drink. Sure, it was my once-in-a-lifetime chance to lose my V-card to a hockey god—but guilt over my first mistake had me running out in tears.

Third Mistake: Returning to school. I should have transferred. Because now, the hockey god is bodychecking me into walls, slamming his hands on either side of my head, and growling, “Did you really think there’d be no consequences for your actions?”

So, yeah… I’ve accidentally earned myself a bully. One totally committed to making my last year of college a living hell—and doing a terrifyingly excellent job of it.

But when a life-or-death emergency leaves me with no one else to turn to, my ice-cold bully steps up—with conditions. And now I have to wonder: is agreeing to his terms my worst mistake—or the spark that sets a fire I’ll never be able to put out?

Narration Is a Detriment

Theodora Taylor is usually a guaranteed good read or listen for me. Not this time. The narrator’s performances are mostly terrible, especially considering the subject matter of a class that is important to the story. I only liked the female doing the male character’s voice. I have a strong dislike for the rest of her performance. I didn’t care for the male performance at any time.

At one point it seems the personalities of the main characters get lost. Then they get back on track. Messy. Enjoyed catching up on favorite characters in supporting roles.

The story has potential, I’ll stick with it to see where it goes. Get rid of the narrators.

Love ms Taylor

I wish I knew it ended on a cliff hanger. Now I have to impatiently wait for the next part lol. But overall great listen

Yom Rustanov's Obsession

As always I love Ms. Taylor's books and This audiobook was good. The narrators did a great job with the characters.

Good…but

What in the heck? Why did we get that third account break up and cliff hanger 😭 I want more! This was sooo good. Ugh

10/10 🩵

I love pretty much all of Theodora's books. I especially live for this book. just waiting for the second book so I add it to my longgggg list of treasured books. Can't wait for book 2! Keep up the amazing work! 🩵
