REVIEW: Beautifully Wicked (Voclain Academy Book 1) By Jordan Grant

A tortured antihero bound to a brutal contract.

A broken heroine with a sharp tongue.

A relationship that could save them both if she’ll allow it.

Ian Beckett, according to Harlow:

1. Voclain Academy’s drop-dead gorgeous, all-star quarterback.

P.S. Dear Ian: See number one and take the drop-dead part literally.

2. Sole heir to a massive family fortune that dates back centuries.

3. Wicked bane of my freakin’ existence with a PhD in dirty talk.

P.P.S. Dear Ian: Think of your mouth like a plane door. I’m gonna need you to keep it shut for the duration of our flight.

Harlow Weathersby, according to Ian:

1. Stunning creature with a smartass mouth I want to devour.

P.S. Harlow: Can we stop this already, sweetness? We both know you want me.

2. Blonde angel delivered from heaven straight into my lap.

3. Beautiful girl caught in a game she never wanted to be a part of and doesn’t understand.

P.P.S. Harlow: Stick around. I’ll teach you the Rules, sweetness.


From Jordan Grant comes an enemies-to-lovers, 94,000-word romance that takes the reader on a wild ride of epic clap-backs, Grade-A dirty talk, addiction, and loss.

This book contains bullying, foul language, and drug and alcohol use, which some readers may find triggering. The reader has a choice to end this book as a standalone or continue, after fair warning, to spoilers for Beautifully Wanted (Voclain Academy Book 2) coming Winter 2020.

 Very well written for a young adult novel. There were so many turns and surprises throughout this story. I loved it.

I loved the two main characters how the author writes them and their back stories just pulls at your heart strings and how even if they are being difficult you cant help but understand and love them both with what they are dealing with.

The supposed bad guy The Thing i started to believe how horrible she was and then at the end you understand the entire truth and its soul wrenching and tear jerking. I so didn't expect what happened to her in her past .

Archie is an amazing supporting character and I just loved that him and Ian were constantly in competition but were best friends like no other.

I would love to see a novel about Archie and his love interest, he is such a charismatic and awesome character it would be wonderful.

4 stars

Jordan Grant is a lost soul, who changed majors three times in college before settling on English. Because she has about as much patience as her beautiful, wonderful (did she mention ah-mazing!) toddler, she graduated a year early and then went to law school because, well... She mentioned she's a lost soul, right? 

A special place in her heart is devoted to edgy alpha males and bad boys with naughty mouths. She loves to get lost in the blur between love and hate and is especially fond of prince charmings with dents in their crowns and strife in their souls.

She is an avid fan of all things sweet including red wine and cupcakes (red velvet, please!). When she's not daydreaming about the characters in her head, she enjoys (attempting to) garden, petting furry animals, and wrangling her husband and toddler into day-trip adventures.
