To put it nicely, Helen has had her share of troubles and she refuses to give up. She will do whatever she needs to do to keep herself and her little sister safe especially if it’s her mom who keeps causing the danger. Helen is a character that I’ve grown to know through Julia’s Savage High books. She’s fierce, loyal, and doesn’t take crap from anyone. Growing up on the wrong side of town, scraping by, with a mother that gave up, Helen grew up at a young age and eventually took over care of her younger sister too. With her take charge attitude I was anxious to know what boy would be up to the challenge of being perfect for Helen. Interestingly enough it was a boy who shot through her sharp defenses, tore down her tall walls, and poked into her soft center. Helen is a beautiful creature whether she’s soft or hard and Theo was the boy who discovered all of her sides. I knew right in the prologue when Helen chased three boys out of her workplace with a bat that I was going to love this story.

I’m not an escort service.” My fingertips dug into my knees. “This isn’t happening. You can’t pimp me out.” Theo was the perfect counter part for Helen. While they had their own bumps and some miscommunication when he realizes how much she means to him, nothing can make him give her up. Especially if it’s Helen asking him to walk away. Theo looks like a rich boy and plays the part well. His father is the university president he drives a flashy car and of course he is one of the popular guys who lives in a frat house but again things are not as they seem.

Helen has been dealt a very hard hand in like dad in jail useless alcoholic, drug addicted mother and Helen is left to support the family only to make sure her baby sis is safe. I loved this book. The story kept you on the edge of your seat all the way through the characters. They were fantastic with great chemistry and not just the main characters. The wider group totally pulled you in as well and I can't wait to see where this series goes. Today was no different. My father, the exalted president of Savage University, was now my pimp. That he was trying to force me on my ex-girlfriend made no difference. He wanted Abby’s father to make a donation to the university’s art program, so the Fitzgerald family had been invited to the art and design school’s annual fundraiser banquet. Daddy Fitzgerald accepted, the caveat being me acting as Abby’s date. Theo was just a Protector, wanting to be loved and approved of. But the same couple be said of Helen also. She had so much to get through and deal with, but loved and cared for Theo and her sister Lucinda.

Theo is so beautifully broken in his own way. He seems like the perfect, beautiful rich boy, but there are deep, deep layers to his facade. Just like Helen wears her sharp, pointy layers as armor, Theo wears his twinkly eyes and sweet smile to hide things too. He’s under his father’s thumb, recently out from a long term relationship and trying to figure out his life after wrestling. Theo is going through the motions of school and a beautiful Tiger named Helen just might lead him on the right path, or she might lead him down the wrong one.I loved Lachlan too and I’m still wondering how the way a person says his name equals to how it is spelled 😂). My father clasped his hands on his desk, his fingers turning white from pressure. “Be that as it may, Abby wants you to be there with her, and since I’m unaware of any valid reason that can’t happen, it will.” I laughed, cried, cursed, and smiled and as every reader knows – these are signs of a great book. I also must give an honourable mention the steamy scenes – the HEAT! Wowzah! These Savage guys sure know what they are doing. Helen is one fierce female and I was here for it. You are introduced to her in the savage crew books and while we gets hints about her character you don’t really understand her true struggles until her book.
