Savage U Series by Julia Wolf

Helen. What a sweet name for a girl who is anything but. The first time I laid eyes on Theo Whitlock, I chased him and his frat boy friends with a bat. I’m no white knight. I’m broke. He’s rich. I destroyed his car. He chooses not to rat me out. I was never supposed to go to college, but especially not one like Savage U, where only the wealthiest need apply... moreHelen. What a sweet name for a girl who is anything but. The first time I laid eyes on Theo Whitlock, I chased him and his frat boy friends with a bat. I’m no white knight. I’m broke. He’s rich. I destroyed his car. He chooses not to rat me out. I was never supposed to go to college, but especially not one like Savage U, where only the wealthiest need apply. One might call this a lucky break, only I don’t feel so lucky with a drug dealer breathing down my neck, and a gangster threatening to burn my house down. You have a face that could launch a thousand ships. Theo and I don’t make sense, but being with him feels good, and I need more than my books and classes to distract me from the chaos and violence in my life. I know you’re my good girl. Aren’t you, Helen? Tell me. We’re casual. No complications. We have to be. I’m keeping secrets, and I have a feeling behind Theo Whitlock’s twinkly blue eyes is a whole world of darkness. Do you think about me? Too much…. Did I hurt you? He will. .. if the other savages don’t get to me first. (Full blurb to come! Release date will be moved forward. Savage U is a spin-off of The Savage Crew, but can be read as a standalone! ). less

I don’t get it. How can he so easily look away from me when he’s all I see? The ice queen is melting…. A few angry frat boys and their arm candy make it their mission to ruin my semester and possibly my life. But I show those boys that messing with Elena Sanderson is a fatal mistake, and Lachlan surprisingly backs me up. And when he finally gives me his attention, I greedily soak up everything he has to offer. You’re arsenic-laced candy. Lachlan tells me I’m bad for him, but he can’t resist the pull between us anymore. I don’t break things. I know he’s not staying. When he goes, he’ll leave me tangled up in memories. I won’t play games. His promises have a time limit, even though I’m beginning to wish they didn’t. Even if it hurts…. We were over before we ever began.

Seraphina…that’s a big name. The first time I laid eyes on Julien Umbra, he made me cry. That makes him sound mean, but grumpy would be more of an apt description. Besides, I always cry when I’m drunk. Hate is a strong, strong word. I’m back for another semester at Savage U, nursing a bruised heart and shattered ego. That’s what happens when your ex cheats and everyone knows... moreSeraphina…that’s a big name. The first time I laid eyes on Julien Umbra, he made me cry. That makes him sound mean, but grumpy would be more of an apt description. Besides, I always cry when I’m drunk. Hate is a strong, strong word. I’m back for another semester at Savage U, nursing a bruised heart and shattered ego. That’s what happens when your ex cheats and everyone knows. Worse than that, the girl my ex told me not to worry about and then banged is vying for the one thing I want: drum captain of the marching band. Pretend all you want to. I have a chance to get what I want, there’s just one little thing I have to do: fake date the grumpy guy in the hoodie. The one who sits alone at the front of the class and growls at anyone who speaks to him. But Julien doesn’t growl at me, and to my surprise, he agrees to be my fake boyfriend. Breaking the already broken…. Julien is scarred in more ways than one, but he’s not as broken as he thinks he is. There's something about him that draws me in. I like him, and the longer we do this, it starts to feel like it’s not for show. All of this is fleeting. I have to remember this is fake. When I get what I want, Julien and I will walk away from each other. The song will end. But what if all I want is Julien? less
