Savage Games by Rachel Leigh
3.0
I love me a good bully romance especially if it's in an academy setting. I read this entire series in one day, it was that good. I loved learning the history between Scarlett and the guys, and her new friendship with Riley and Elias. In this book, there are two POV's and that's Scarlett and Crew, since this first book focuses on their relationship.
This book is about Scarlett Sunder and her guys. Scarlett is the daughter of Kol and Luna, who were in the previous novella (the novella is not necessary to read, but it does give you background into the plot that plays on later in the series). She's born into a family where they are in 'The Blue Blood Society.' She grew up with her guys Crew, Neo, and Jagger who are also in the same society. She was best friends with Neo's sister, Maddie until her accident. Neo always hated Scarlett and forced the other guys to follow suit, even Crew who had a relationship with Scarlett. Despite their history, these guys treated her like shit, even before she transferred to the academy. Like it was no joke. But Scarlett didn't cower away from their treatment, she pushed and fought back. The guys are known as 'The Lawless' and they rule the school. Not just in a popular kind of way, they turn the other students into their servants and will humiliate them to no end if they go against them. All of the students have to play games or tend to The Lawless at their beck and call, in order to climb the hierarchy at the school. Unfortunately for Scarlett, she also has to participate in either the games or become their servant. Not only is she participating, but they also make her games more personal. Through all of this, Scarlett begins to rekindle her relationship with Crew because he can't bring himself to hate her. And not only does Scarlett have to deal with her childhood friends bullying her, but she also has a stalker.
Favorite quotes/scenes:
-"Oh my god, Crew. Your heart is beating so fast."
" You do that to me, Scar. My heart beats faster. My knees go weak. Sometimes I forget to even breathe when you're around."
"It's singing to me. Mine sings for you, too, Crew. It shouldn't, but it does." (Flashback with Crew and Scarlett)
-"You make me crazy, Scar. If I'm not with you, I can't eat, I can't sleep. You consume my every thought."
"How about this? After you graduate from The Academy and I finish public school, if you still love me, we'll go as far as you wanna go."
"If? I'll never stop loving you, Scar. You're the reason I even go on in this fucked-up world." (Another flashback)
-" A couple of hours ago, I thought I'd be lost forever in those woods. Now, I think I've officially lost my mind because Jagger Cole just gave me butterflies."
"You are a dirty-talking whore, you know that?"
"Only with you." (Crew and Scarlett)
-"What's this tattoo mean?"
"It's Latin for, with you, I am me. "
"What am I going to do with you, Crew Vance?"
"Let me be me, because you're the only one I can be myself with."
