Book 4 of 9: Rydeville Elite

See all formats and editions

An enemies-to-lovers workplace romance set within the Rydeville Elite world.

Demi
Dropping out of college senior year was never part of my plan. But Dad needs me, and I'd move mountains for the only parent I’ve ever known—even working for the company that fired him.

My boss, Charlie, is determined to make my life a living hell, availing of every opportunity to undermine my confidence, to humiliate and threaten me.

Sleeping with him the night of his wedding might have something to do with his attitude.

Or the fact I’m the spitting image of the woman he really wants.

If our financial situation wasn’t so dire, I’d tell Charlie to stick his job up his delectable butt.

But I’m trapped, and things are only getting worse. Because the more layers I uncover, the more I realize he is nothing l expected and everything I crave.

Charlie

If there was a manual for all the ways a person could mess up his life, it’d have my name written on it.

I can’t undo the things I’ve done, no matter how badly I want to, and every day is a constant reminder of my epic failure.

Especially her.

It’s as if Demi has been put on this earth to punish me. To inflict more torture and pain. Because every second I’m around her, she makes me feel things I don’t want to feel.

So, I lash out. Doing my best to push her away.

Until I realize she’s everything I never knew I needed, and the fight becomes a new battle—one to win her heart.

Due to mature content and themes, this book is recommended to readers aged eighteen and over.

From the Inside Flap

EXCERPT:

"You can't be serious?" My voice elevates a few octaves as panic swaddles me.

"As a heart attack," he coolly replies. His dark gaze challenges me, but I can't figure out if it's a test. Does he want me to obey or fight him on it?

I stand, and our chests brush in the process, sending a wave of heat flooding through me. Ignoring my cursed libido, I glare at him. "I'm not doing that. It's unethical, illegal, and downright disgusting."

He smirks, and the urge to slap him again is riding me hard.

"Let's not pretend, Demi." He places his thumb on my neck, just underneath my jawline, right in the spot where my pulse is jumping like crazy. "There would be nothing disgusting about it, and we both know it."

He tilts his head to the side as his thumb swipes back and forth across my overly sensitive flesh. "I know you're a good girl, Demi. Everyone can see that." He leans in close to my face, lining his lips up with mine, keeping scant distance between us.

At this proximity, his spicy, woodsy scent assaults me, holding me prisoner, ensuring I can't move a muscle.

"But I also know you're a naughty, dirty girl." He presses a kiss to the corner of my mouth. "And I'm guessing that side of you hasn't been explored." He trails his hand up the side of my thigh, over my skirt, but I still feel his touch skin-deep. "I know you want to do it, dirty girl. You want to sink to your knees and enjoy every mouthwatering moment." He grips my hip hard, and I gasp, the pain sending a torrent of heat to my core.

A switch flicks in my brain, and I shove at his chest, pushing him back a couple steps. "You know nothing, Mr. Barron. I'm not some cheap ***** you can manipulate. I have more self-respect."

Such A Great Read

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2020

This right here is what we have come to know and love about Siobhan’s writing. Charlie is the perfect mix of Alphas, and firey tension that is thru the roof, with a little bit of Bully romance mixed in. This book is the perfect transition story into the next set of stories for this crew. I loved that we got glimpses of everyone and can see how their dynamic is now since the EPIC finale of Sweet Retribution.

𝙄 𝙥𝙪𝙨𝙝 𝙤𝙛𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙞𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙪𝙥, 𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙖 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙚, 𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙.

I’m going to be honest I didn’t think I was going to like Charlie after everything that happen and all the things that he has done. But after reading this I have since changed my mind. Charlie is lost and so very lonely trying to come to terms with everything that has happened and the part’s that he played. But what really endeared me to him was watching him with Demi. Yes, in the beginning he is a jerk and he bullies her but even as he’s doing it you can tell that it’s just a façade that he has put on so he doesn’t let anyone close again. Watching as his and Demi’s relationship evolves you can see the transition in him as his layers slowly start breaking away. It was at these moment’s that I understood Charlie and really started liking him.

“𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄’𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙝𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙄 𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙯𝙚 𝙄 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙣𝙤 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜.”

I loved Demi she is pure fire and spunk, she puts Charlie in his place repeatedly and doesn’t back down when he’s being a colossal jerk to her. She has been through a lot and has so much on her plate, but she still does not cower to Charlie. Her strength is Soul Deep and she is exactly what Charlie needed to help him get through his grief and try and start living again.

“𝙄 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙄 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙨𝙤 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙖 𝙠𝙞𝙨𝙨,” 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙙𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙨. “𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙄 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙠𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙚. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮 𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄’𝙢 𝙖𝙙𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜."

I loved this book; it may be shorter than Siobhan’s others, but it still packs the same punch that we’ve come to love. This story is strife with tension and unexpected reveals that will have you reeling, but thankfully this one does not end on one of Siobhan’s signature Cliffys. This book has revamped my excitement for the next installment in the Rydville Series and I can’t wait to see where she takes us next.

I had very mixed feeling about Charlie’s character. He did some really messed up things throughout the series. He got his dad murdered. Which left his mom and sister devastated. He hurt Abby time and tube again while claiming to help her. Then when she was finally able to be happy he seemed to just be obsessed with her. It was so nice to get to see a different side to charlie. And to really watch him fall truly in love with someone and be willing to go the mile for her.

I absolutely loved the first three Rydeville Elite books. They were dirty, twisted, gritty and absolutely brilliant. I was really excited for Charlie’s book because I was really hoping for a deeper look in his mind with everything he was put through, but this missed the mark for me. It felt extremely rushed and felt extremely detached from the main series minus the main characters that were all in it. I was happy to see him get his HEA, but I just wish there was more to his story.

Rydeville Elite Series is an obsession for me. Charlie is a Phenomenal addition! 🙌🏻🔥🙌🏻🔥

Yes! OMG! Yes! Nothing and I mean nothing excites me like a good “redemption story.” I’m talking to take the absolute most (or one of the most) unredeemable characters from one of your favorite books, or trilogies in this case, and redeem him. Transformation done. ✅ Siobhan Davis turned him around, upside down, inside out and showed us that “hold the phone ladies and gentlemen” he in fact has a heart and it can turn ooey gooey after all!

Charlie, oh Charlie! I had so many questions about you. So many theories after Sweet Retribution running amok in this brain of mine. I love that many of my questions were answered. I love even more that I now have more questions and theories about other characters. BTW...We will have their answers coming our way.

Charlie is most definitely one of those characters that your heart probably didn’t see coming. The Charlie you meet on page one, is not the Charlie that you will be left with at the end of the book. The growth that this character goes through is tremendous. My guess is he needed this amazing woman to bring him to his knees.
I think in his quest to try to break her, he broke himself, in the best way, only to build himself back stronger and better than ever. What I love about Siobhan Davis is she can take thes characters that you think are just deplorable and make you fall head over heels, unequivocally In love. Yes, I LOVE CHARLIE BARRON! ♥️🥰♥️

Demi is a fantastic character. Now my heart was devastated many times over for this girl. But I’m pretty obsessed with her. She was strong and brave and beautiful. With everything she had gone through and was going through, her strength was inspiring. With Charlie she gave as good as she got. He was irresistible, yes, rude, absolutely, but she was not a doormat. I loved that about her character. Their banter was fiery and explosive. There were most definitely times where you thought they could go straight from fighting to… oh you know! 😏🤭

Charlie was another phenomenal addition to the Rydeville Elite Series. I cannot wait for more. Siobhan never fails to captivate me from the first page. She had me hanging on every word, from start to finish. I’ve learned not to try to predict what will happen next in her books, because she’s the queen of giving you something unexpected. I love that! She plants little seeds, so you can get your theories a spinnin’! Well, I for one was born ready for this series and I’m SO Ready for more! My seeds are ready to start sprouting Siobhan, so bring on Jackson!

All the Stars in the Sky for Charlie! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Charlie deserved his HEA.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 10, 2024

I always had a soft spot for Charlie, he is hot a cold, but I knew he carries a lot of guilt. Then comes Demi. She is everything Charlies been looking for. Demi takes no nonsense and even though he is awful to her, she never backs down from him. Demi works for Charlie as his assistant. Her father worked for Charlies father and was let go after having a stroke so Demi came home to take care of her dad and take a job with the same company to help with the finances and medical care her father needed. Needless to say this story has a lot more to tell of both Charlie and Demi Well written and glad Charlie got his HEA.

WOW. Just. WOW.
Siobhan Davis weaved her magic yet again.
You go into Charlie (the novella) thinking you know, when in fact you've got no idea.
You can't help but love Charlie, once you see things through his eyes. You'll kinda bleed for him.
Demi, you'll absolutely love her! She can give as good as gets. She's the strong female lead we've come to know and love from Siobhan.
Charlie is a story that's raw, heartbreaking and beautiful.

A redemption arc for Charlie

Reviewed in Australia on February 16, 2024

Charlie is such a complicated man and I’m glad he got the first standalone book. In this book he is isolating himself to protect others from himself (or so he believes). Enter Demi as she takes a bulldozer to the walls around his heart. Demi is awesome and I loved reading about her. It’s also so good to see the original Rydeville crew popping up across the story.

Charlie's Redemption

Reviewed in Canada on November 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

There was minimal animosity to overcome, this novella quickly morphed into a HEA romance. Nice to see Charlie redeem himself and his quick acceptance that his love for Abby was platonic and over bearing rather than romantic and obsessive. Demi is a strong female character who shows Charlie that he is capable of love and intimacy. The book lacks any real Elite standoffs or battles, no heartwrenching near misses -- but this story still manages to evoke a depth of emotion to tug at the heart strings. Not as dark as prior installments but worth a read. I really enjoyed the epilogue!
