I debated back and forth between giving it 2 stars or 1 star. The only reason I’m giving it 2 stars is that it entertained me enough to finish it.
The plot falls pretty flat for me. When the book starts, the three guys HATE Lennon for what she did to them in high school and on graduation night. They deserve to. The initial bullying wasn’t that huge but what she did on graduation night was awful and the boys were seriously injured.
But then, after 3 days of petty revenge bullying they all the sudden all forgive her and can’t stop thinking about her.
The thing that makes me want to give this 1 star more then anything was the sex scene with all of them in front of Wright. It was unrealistic and more importantly, completely unsafe. This sets up completely unrealistic and dangerous expectations regarding sex much like bad porn does. I damn near set the book down and stopped reading at that point.

Silas, Damon, and Jude have been friends for as long as anyone could remember. After high school they moved to Boston and opened up a tattoo shop.
Lennon didn’t have the life most people thought she had while she was growing up. She did her best to cover up this fact. She became the high school bully so no one would get close. She tormented all three guy but Silas the worst. She did something so bad at the high school graduation party she actually left town two weeks early saying she needed to get to Harvard.
Now 10 years later she is back after she caught her fiancé cheating on him. Now she is broke, jobless, and homeless. She is living above a tattoo shop in one of her mothers buildings. First night there she went to the tattoo shop to ask them to keep the music down. She knew the men looked familiar but couldn’t place them. When Silas sneered her name and told her to leave his shop in a not so nice way. She was shocked as no one ever spoke to her that way. She remembered who they were and then felt horrible about how she treated them in high school. When she walked by the shop the following day she saw a woman behind the receptionist desk. Lennon walked in and introduced her self to Lola. When she was talking to Lola Lennon had asked if there was any jobs she knew of and Lola told her that the guys were looking for a receptionist to replace her as she could only be there one day a week. She was hired to much of the dismay of the guys and then the developed a plan to make her job so relentless that she would have to quit. Little did they knew she needed this job and she was not a quitter. The more time Lennon spent with the guys the more they were attracted to her.
This is the first book of three by Amanda Richardson. It is a slow burn and the spice doesn’t happen until the very end of this book. I can’t wait to start reading book two as I can’t wait to see what happens between them all.

Savage Hate is hot, steamy, dark, and addictive. And so hot. Did I say hot? Because it truly is. It is an amazing start to an RH trilogy, of which I desperately need the second book. Probably also the third! Because it's an intriguing and thrilling story that I simply devoured and couldn't put down.
Amanda Richardson was clearly born to write dark reverse harem. Lennon Rose is a former high school bully who goes back to her hometown defeated, without a penny, a career, or a fiance. And who does she end up working for? The three guys she used to bully. Except Silas Huxley, Damon Brooks, and Jude Vanderbilt are far from the losers she remembers. Now they run the successful Savage Ink tattoo shop, and they are hot, built, and tatted. They are also thirsty for revenge.
The story is complex and is far from the typical bully romance. The backstories of the main characters are insanely well constructed and just lure you in. Everything is wrapped in suspense and secrets. And as they are revealed, I found it impossible not to fall deeper for each character. Despite their brokenness, there is also a strong sense of righting the wrongs of the past.
I just have a feeling that this series is going to be a favorite of 2021. It is that good!

Don't love it. Don't hate it.
The premise is interesting enough. A girl bullies 3 guys through high school. Ten years later, she's hit rock bottom. She's staying in an apartment her mother owns the building of. The downstairs is a tattoo parlor. That those 3 bullied guys rent.
She didn't recognize them at first. She gets an administrative job there. They have her doing janitorial work too, as insult.
If you're looking for enemies to lovers...this is light on the enemies. So far, Jude is my favorite. I can't tell the difference between Silas and Damon yet.

I read this book in one sitting. Silas, Jude, Damon and Lennon will have you on the edge of the seat the whole time you are reading. There's a bit of a cliff hanger, but good news is the next book is ready for you ;)

Savage Hate is the first book in the Savage Hearts Series by Amanda Richardson. This book does have minimal spice, but the scenes are fire! I'm new to Amanda but let me tell you, she did not disappoint with this book.
Lennon Rose was a bully to Silas Huxley, Damon Brooks, and Jude Vanderbilt in High School. Fast forward ten years later, and she is back in her hometown of Greythorne. Her fiance cheats on her leaving her broke and homeless; Lennon moves back and stays in one of her mother's rental properties. Desperate for a job, she goes to the tattoo shop below her apartment and asks for a job. On her first day, she realizes that the men who own Savage Ink are Silas, Damon, and Jude, the boys she brutally bullied in High School—not expecting her to be a bada$$ taking any and everything they throw at her. This strange man keeps popping up around town and warning her to stay away from Silas, Damon, and Jude. Can she trust them, or will she give in and believe the stranger?
This book was a wild ride, and when the spice happens, it's hot! This book has everything I want in my dark bully reverse harems. I can't wait for the next book.
