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!!!!

Taking a Break

  Taking a break Hello! I randomly decided to come on here today and it looks like someone actually does visit this site on occasion. I feel like I owe it to you to let you know that I won't be posting any new reviews for a while. I've been really burnt out on reading for a while now and while I do still read every now and again, I just don't have the same passion about it. When I write a review for the blog, I feel it has to be more in depth and informative and I just don't have that in me right now. Also, the book world just disappoints me sometimes and I don't feel like I'm in the head space to give it my all. Anywho, if you are reading this, thank you for being around and supporting me for however long you've been here. I appreciate you. Maybe one day I will get back into it and start reading and reviewing again. In the meantime, I do still review the books I read on Amazon and Goodreads .

Merciless Spy by Heather Long

  Merciless Spy, (82 Street Vandals) Heather Long ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: The fierce twin. The dark brother. The wild one. I don’t give a damn about labels. I never have. Not when it comes to me. But stay the hell away from my brothers. All of them. I’ve sacrificed a lot for them, and I’m more than willing to give a lot more. If my blood, sweat, tears, and life were needed, I’d give it all up. Every damn drop. For my brothers, there was nothing I wouldn’t lose. Until her. Reckless, ferocious, and seemingly born to match me in temperament and spirit, Hellspawn is not the fragile flower they all think she is. I don’t think she ever has been. She will not be left behind, she will not hide, and she will not take the crap that life has been throwing at her. She’s saved our lives, defended us, fought for us, and sacrificed herself for us. I have no questions about what she would do if they tried to leverage us against her. This is why I won’t allow anyone to put her to t...
