Blurb: 

Emersyn Sharpe doesn't belong in our world. 

In fact, the very last place she should be is with us. But someone in hurting her. We've all seen it.
We tried to ignore the warning signs. We tried to trust the people around her.
We tried to believe in our world.
Too late.
When she nearly died in front of us, we had to act.
We took her.
She doesn't belong in our world, but I'll be damned if someone lays a finger on her under my watch.
I'll kill them first.
Now that she's here...I don't know if I can let her leave.
I'm Jasper Horan, anyone who tries to take her will have to go through me and my boys.
You've been warned.
SAVAGE VANDAL is a full length mature college/new adult romance with enemies-to-lovers/love-hate themes. This is a reverse harem novel, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. This is book one in the series. 



Emersyn Sharpe is one tough chick. She's a dancer so she has to be tough. Dancers get injuries all the time and they have to work through the pain. She's not just any dancer though, she's an aerial dancer. I don't know personally but I would think that adds to the injuries one might get. Then there is the real crux of the matter. Emersyn has been trying to hide a secret for a while. Dancing isn't the only thing that is giving her injuries. When her tour makes it's stop in Braxton Harbor, Emersyn's whole life gets flipped upside down. 

Savage Vandal is the first book in this new series by Heather Long and let me tell you I am here for it! With any new series you are going to have to build the world you are in, the characters, give a good feel for the situation. Heather did all of that and she did it well. I guess you would call this a slow/medium burn on the romance level as well. Which makes total sense as Emersyn was kidnapped by a group of gang members. She wakes up with no idea where she is or why she is there. When we get to the end of the book, we don't have an established relationship or harem. We aren't really even sure who all will be included. I have the guys I am pulling for though. We do still get some sexy times and they are YUMMY!! 

Let me just say that I am a total fool about dancing. I can't do it for anything in the world but I love to watch it. Any SYTYCD fans out there? Heather did a beautiful job of describing Emersyn's dance moves. She pulled you right in and made you feel the emotion, helped you feel what Emersyn was feeling as well as those that were watching her. So fab job on that.

So as I mentioned above, Emersyn gets kidnapped by the 82 street vandals. Jasper is the leader of this group and he had a plan. When he witnesses Emersyn getting hurt though, he kinda loses his mind and just takes her. With the plan out the window, he isn't quite sure what to do and neither are the guys under him. Emersyn wakes up in a strange place, injured again which isn't really a surprise, and with people she doesn't know at all. Even if she thought she might have. I give her credit, she handles it all extremely well. Her main struggle is trying to figure out why her kidnappers are being kind to her. She's seen them be the hard gang members but they've also shown her care she didn't expect. She doesn't understand how she can have any kind of warm feelings for the men who took her and won't let her leave. 

There is a lot of mystery and unanswered questions in this first book. There are just enough hints to get your mind working and yet you still don't know the truth behind it all. Who is pulling what strings and what has happened in the past to lead them all to where they are. Then we have that ending. So much going on with that ending. My heart was racing and about to beat out of my chest when I finished. Absolutely brilliant cliffhanger.  I am 100% here for this series. I need all the books now!!!!
