I have read a few other books by Julia Wolf and so this wasn't my first introduction to Helen, "Hells Bells", is featured in the Savage Crew series but you don't have to read those books, this book is a standalone. If you have read those books though, you will be able to catch up with some of the characters from that series. Helen has had a rough go with the hand that she was dealt, growing up in a trailer park and the things she went through in high school but she finally caught a break and a new world is opened up for her. Theo isn't what he seems and at first Helen doesn't really want anything to do with him but they keep running into each other and it just becomes inevitable. I love them as a couple. Helen is tough but she has a big heart. I really enjoyed reading her story but I have to admit, I cannot wait for the next book in this series, I need to hear Zadie's story with Amir! I would give this book 4 stars!
Favorite Excerpt:
“Fine. I’ll accept the ride and be grateful for it. But I don’t want to walk through campus holding hands, I don’t want to be pressed up against buildings, and most importantly, I don’t want to be kissed. I made the mistake of opening that door last weekend. Now, I’m rectifying it. I’ve got way too much going on in my life to deal with your complications too. Way too much, Theodore.”
“Okay.” He didn’t let go of my hand.
“Okay what?” I wiggled my fingers, but it was a no go.
“Okay. I heard what you said. We’ll see.”
“What will we see?”
“We’ll see where this goes. Right now, I don’t agree. You can close the door all you want, but I have the fucking key, so expect me to open it right back up.”
I sighed, long and ragged. “Oh my fuck, you’re demented. You are, aren’t you? Did a screw get knocked loose when you were performing homoerotic acts disguised as a sport or have you always been this way?”
That made him snort. “You’re calling wrestling homoerotic?”
Turning my head to look at him, I raised my brows. “Come on, dude. I saw the video where the guy had his face right in the other guy’s boner. It was hot, and if you try to convince me, that’s not the point of wrestling, I’ll laugh. Plus, the outfits? Spandex, two young, fit guys grabbing each other? I’m not buying it.”
