The elite come to play on the campus of Glass Heart Academy.

𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐫
My sister was their everything. I’m their nothing.
They waited three hundred and sixty-five days after her disappearance to acknowledge I’m alive.
Their wicked games should scare me.
Except they don’t know I’m not much different than her.

𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐤
Palmer Weston isn’t anything like her sister.
She’s sweet and naive. There are plenty of reasons why I should keep my distance.
Except where’s the fun in that.
I’m a boy who loves his toys and I’ve kept her on the shelf long enough.
It seems someone is determined on giving Palmer the same fate as her sister.
Problem is I’ve never been good at sharing.

{Glass Heart Savage is the first book in the Glass Heart Academy Series.}

***4 "Your heart!!!" stars***

NOW AVAILABLE



"You have glass hearts. All four of you. It's just a matter of time before someone comes along and exposes the cracks."
"And let me guess, you're going to be that girl...
You really want to dance with the devil, baby?"


If i would say that the beginning wasn't confusing, I would lie.
But as the pages were turning, well, I was a goner for these four boys, especially for Marek and Breaker and of course, for Palmer...
This story frustrated me in many levels, but it was so intoxicating...
And now, that I have finished the book, I'm craving for more...
I need to unravel all their secrets.... Badly!!!!

"Things aren't always what they seem, Palmer. Remember that."

Palmer was a good girl and a perfect student...
Before a year her sister had vanished leaving behind only some trails of her blood... and that fact isn't something that you can get over so easily...
And then there is the fact that she is invisible to the rest of the Glass Heart Academy students...
Until after a whole year, she is starting to get the attention of the four privileged Glass Heart Boys with whom her sister were very close...
What is the purpose behind their strange behavior??? And why she is drawn so much toward one of them???

"Don't let me in, Palmer. You're going to want to, I can promise you that, but all I'll end up doing is hurting you."

"Don't ever show your weakness around us. We'll use it against you. Even if we're the ones that force it out of its hiding spot."


Marek is one of the privileged assholes that are above all the others in this Academy...
He and his boys (Breaker, Byron and Dixon) are really tight between them, but all of them have a thorn in their side that can not leave them in peace and that thorn was Palmer's sister...
Now, the boys and especially Marek had turned their sights upon Palmer, even though they believe that she is anything like her sister...
But Marek for an inexplicable reason is drawn toward her and he can't seem to keep his hands away from her, even he supposed to...

"We are a unit. An unbreakable chain wraps around each of us, connecting us. We hold onto the secrets and fears, welcoming the dark and despicable. It's how we work. It's how we thrive."

"A little wild paired with grace.
Palmer Weston is the kind of girl you hope you end up with in the end."


So what will happen after all???
What secrets these four boys are keeping???
Will Palmer prove to them that she is stronger than they think???
And what secrets her sister was keeping????
Who was Reed to these boys??? What had she meant for them???
And Palmer can handle to be always second best to her when her heart and body is at stake???

"She loved them. Not in a perverse kind of way, but to her, they were these undeniable creatures. The world could turn their back on them, and she'd be there. I never quite understood what had her so indebted to them."
"And now you do?"
"No, but I love to see what she saw."


Well, I loved Palmer...
I loved that she was proving over and over again that she was stronger than they were giving her credit for...
I loved her wild and sensual side that she was getting out to play when Marek was around...
And even though these boys made her life a living hell, i loved that she still kept her head high and she was refusing to bow down to them...
The truth is that Marek broke her heart with his actions and along her, Marek hurt me too!!!
The ache and the frustration level was driving me crazy and i have so many questions over him...

"There's one hundred percent chance you will rip parts of me to shreds, but on the off chance you don't?"
"I'm going to..."
"And if you don't, then I'll have the pleasure of knowing I've created a little bit of chaos in Marek Hawthorne's heart, even if it's short-lived."

"Looking for a link to my sister forced me into the lion's den. They bit me down to the bone, where it hurt, made me second guess my own sanity and choices, all to rip everything out from under me.
What I still don't understand is why?"


Marek was wild, untamed, ruthless and cruel...
He and his boys could do atrocities with no other care in the world...
But deep down inside Marek had a heart and i believe that it had started to beat for Palmer, but still his loyalty and blind trust to the rest of the boys were unnerving at least...
He allowed too many shits to go down that he shouldn't....
And honestly, i can not understand his connection with Palmer's sister, or i just don't won't to accept what i already know...
Still, i have too many questions for both of them...

"Palmer makes me believe there is more out there in the world than this life. She isn't mine though. Like Byron said, no room for feelings."

"Letting her in, being out there with her, will only make the inevitable harder. This can go nowhere."


The only sure is that the connection between Marek and Palmer was explosive...
But they were only hurting each other... Scratch that... Marek was hurting her and Palmer was trying to survive his explosions...
The truth is that the firsts chapters confused the hell out of me, but i can say the same for the rest of the book...
God, i need to find out more about this crazy story... and i need to find out who's after Palmer!!! Cause someone wants her to have the same fate with her sister...

"Marek Hawthorne has a certain kind of charisma. He's talented at sweeping the negative away, making me feel whole when everything is broken."

"Palmer changed everything. She changed me before I had a chance to stop her."


Now, about the boys!!!
Breaker, even though he seemed tough, he was such a sweetheart!!! I love this guy and he is the only one that i can trust of the bunch...
Dixon... Well, i really can not read him... But i don't trust him....
And Byron??? Well, he is an entitled jerk and he thinks that he is the king of the world... I can understand that he is hurting over Reed, but the things that he did to Palmer made me hate him fiercely!!!
Honestly, i can not understand these boys and their intentions... I can not understand what it was going on with Reed and all of them, but it drives me crazy that i don't know...
Please, Lindsey, hurry up!!! I need the next book ASAP!!!

"We don't prey on the weak. We acquire the strong. That was our first mistake with you. We underestimated every fiber of who you are."

****************************************************

"When it comes to love, lust, and all that shit that makes us do stupid things for another human being, pain is inevitable. But when someone is willing to pick up the pieces, to weather the fucking storm beside you, to forgive the unforgivable, you'll know you found someone worthy of loving, someone who knows your soul better than you do yourself."

This was disappointing. After reading the whole book I still couldn't tell you what the plot is and I don't feel any closer to understanding the characters or their motives.

The story starts with the MC's senior year. Her sister mysteriously disappeared a year ago and since then a few other girls have disappeared from this private elite school that the wealthy attend. I expected that the school would be on high alert, trying to figure out who's kidnapping these girls. Nope, neither the school nor the student body seem to be concerned about this at all. In fact, the heroine seems to be the only one trying to figure out what happened to her sister. Weird.

Even stranger is the relationship the heroine and her missing sister have/had with "the glass heart boys." The boys start off humiliating the heroine and in general trying to make her life very difficult. They apparently had a relationship with her sister and are constantly comparing her to her sister but what exactly the relationship was I have no idea. It's hinted at that maybe she was sleeping with them all, but that's my biggest issue with this book is that I never really understood what was going on and it wasn't in a fun "figure out the mystery" way.

Anyways, the boys are mean, and secretive, but my biggest issue is I don't know them? Like there's never really much backstory about any of them except a little bit about Marek, so I don't know why they are the way they are, therefore, it's hard to excuse their behavior or find anything redeeming about them. Marek and the heroine start a physical relationship and it was a whiplash back and forth thing that had my head spinning but not in a good way. They really hurt the heroine and then Marek tries to have a change of heart but it's so awkward. And then the book ends and I was relieved because it was a mess. The writing was jumbled and disjointed and not very directional for me and I just didn't enjoy it. It felt like a combination of Pen Douglas' devils night and LJ Shen's hotholes but without a key element...storytelling. I will not continue the series.

HOLY HELL! This book... I am OBSESSED with it. CONSUMED by it. Glass Heart Savage is dramatic, it's sexy, it's twisty, it's dark and so intoxicating that you won't be able to put it down. Seriously, it is that good and also chock-full of angst. I wanted to scream, cry, yell and throw my kindle at times. Every emotion a person can feel I felt while furiously devouring this book.

Marek is one of those heroes that you hate, but love just the same. He was a real enigma to me. Most of his actions were questionable and frustrated me to no end. He and his boys, Breaker, Dixon and Byron are part of the elite that rule Glass Heart Academy. They are sexy, smart, mysterious, conniving and basically untouchable.

Palmer is strong, feisty and fierce, a real force to be reckoned with. I absolutely loved her. No matter what the boys did to her she didn't cower down. She fought them every step of the way and showed them that she's not one to break. But despite all that Marek put her through, she couldn't resist the pull towards him. She didn't make it easy for him though.

To say that I loved Glass Heart Savage would be an understatement. I am crazy about this book! I went into it unsure of what to expect, but it turned out to be way more than I ever thought it would. It was so beyond GOOD! Please do yourself a favor and one-click when this goes live. I can promise you that this is one wild and crazy ride that you do not want to miss. ALL OF THE STARS AND MORE for Marek, Palmer and Glass Heart Savage!

FIVE STARS for Palmer and Marek ❤🖤!!!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is the first book that I've read by Lindsey Iler and I love it!

"Glass Heart Savage" is a dark bully romance that kept me occupied trough whole reading and I couldn't put it down.

Palmer is a female character that you'll love her from the beginning of the book. She is strong and fearless.

Marek is a male character who you'll love and hate at the same time.

Palmer and Marek are two broken souls who make a perfect couple in their imperfection.

AND THE END?!

I need the next book right now!!!

If you love bully romance, you should give a try to this book!

Sooooo where to fucking begin. I will start by saying some bully romances I like very much. So I will start a book to see if it’s a type I will like. I’m always hoping you know? But this mother fucker is not that kind of book. This is the kind that pisses me off beyond words. That saying “I got heated” is literal, your temp rises as your anger rises. It pisses me off that authors even make this type of bully book, that readers love them, they even want more of them, that authors or readers don’t even get how fucked up they are.

These four dudes make her life hell, terrorize her, hurt her, cut her, almost kill her. That’s not actually a bully. That’s some psychotic bullshit. I don’t care the reasoning. And these dudes like terrorizing and scaring girls. So their sorry after isn’t genuine. Again there is no excuse. This is a teenage girl who went to hell and back, wound up in the hospital, and will have scars for life.....LIFE! There is nothing forgivable in that.

Teen girls will read this book. They will read what this girl was put through. How she forgives the boys for the horrific shit they put her through. And you know in the end it will be a happily ever after. These books blur lines, makes things that should never be ok ever to be ok, that’s it’s ok for a man not to protect his girl in fact it’s ok for him to let someone harm her, don’t get me started in the whole sex shit. You’d be surprised how many teens have no clue what constitutes rape, shit many adults don’t know either.

I never read through these kinds of books. I skip through just enough so when I leave a review like this I know what I’m talking about. I hope the author in the futures writes more about a badass chick who might get bullied but she gives as good as she gets who knows her worth and would never giver her heart to someone who almost kills her or let’s his friends almost kill her. Do better.

Lindsey Iler is a new to me author but when I read the blurb of Glass Heart Savage I just knew that I needed a taste of the Glass House Boys.


“You really want to dance with the devil, baby?”

Marek. That guy is ruthless, alpha and so sexy. I hate and love him with my whole heart.

I experienced pretty much every emotion while reading this story, of bullying, hate,l and explosive passion.

Palmer was such an amazing, kick ass heroine. God I loved her. She’s exactly the sort of heroine I love reading about. She gave those boys as good as she got and I was here for it.

When it comes to love, lust, and all the shit that makes us do stupid things for another human being, pain is inevitable. But when someone is willing to pick up the pieces, to weather the fucking storm beside you, to forgive the unforgivable, you’ll know you found someone worthy of loving, someone who knows your soul better than you do yourself.

This is a story of two fucked up souls coming together and learning to love.


Glass Heart Savage is a wild ride and I don’t ever want to get off. I need more words, I need more of those Savages and I need them now!

If you love Bully romance, read this. Go in blind and come out the other end with your heart stolen by the Glass Heart Boys.

HOLY WOW!!! GLASS HEART SAVAGE is one wild ride!!! A tantalizingly and terrifyingly twisted roller coaster of a romance that thrust me to the emotional edge the whole time reading. OMG!!! I felt such an intense and intoxicating high! This highly addictive and heart-pounding tale kept me turning the pages until the end.




”Your pleasure belongs to me and no one else.”


In this deliciously dark and destiny-filled saga with a bullying theme, a hero and heroine are plagued by demons and thirst for revenge, but shine in light together. Palmer seamlessly balances the world on her shoulders with strength and smarts. Marek is a dark knight battling demons and darkness, but oh is he one delicious devil! I fell in love with the devil and the angel with beautiful hearts—two kindred souls—fated together in the most messy but meaningful of ways.

”You have no idea, do you?”

“What?”

“How weak you make me.”


The guiltiest of pleasures, this Cruel Intentions-like tale completely captivated and consumed me. Unflinching. Unforgettable. Unputdownable. A story that sizzles and shines with sin, smolder, suspense, and soul. I did not just read this story—I lived it, breathed it, bled it, and became it. Glass Heart Savage was my dirty little secret, and I need more now.

”You really want to dance with the devil, baby?”


A MUST-READ heart-thrashing romance!

💋💋💋💋💋 fire-hot and fierce kisses

Stop what you're doing! Glass Heart Savage needs to be moved to the top of your TBR pile now!

It's full of mysteries and unanswered questions begging to be told.

Almost a year after her sister's presumed death, Palmer has attracted the attention of the Glass House Boys.

From there it's a constant push and pull throughout the story. But oh how sexy and delicious the story is!

Usually the author hints at the good in the bully, even if it is only for the heroine, but Lindsey Iler had me questioning people and their motives so many times throughout this story. The suspense and the not knowing MADE this story!

This story's ending? Jaw Dropping! I can't wait to see how the author will spin it!

**this book should come with a trigger warning to people who get triggered over rape and bullying.

This book was all over the place. I coudlnt connect with the characters at all. I thought maybe for a second I liked the heroine, but I lost a ton of respect for her after she constantly forgave the bully's of the book. The writing was all over, too. It helps, if you're changing the setting and scene to put a page break or even start a new chapter. The whole plot was extremely confusing. I left with more questions unanswered and not in a good way. I won't be continuing this series.

Lindsey Iler delivers a twisted and dark bully romance in Glass Heart Savage. Needless to say this was an intense and intriguing read. This was definitely an intense bully romance on a much darker side.

This story dives straight in to action from the very beginning and doesn't let up for the entire book. I never knew who to trust or what was going on and I think it’s safe to say that 80% of the time I was confused as to what was going on!

This book ends with more questions then answers and definitely pushes the boundaries. I admittedly struggled with the intense dark overtones of this story at times would have liked some kindness and tender parts and redemption to balance everything out. However, I am looking forward for the rest of the series as there is a mystery and suspense element which I’m dying to know the answers to.

Bully romance is my kindle crack and this one most definitely hit the mark, and then some! 🖤

Without giving away spoilers, Palmer and Marek's story sucked me in and didn't let me go. Intrigue, mystery, the push and pull between or hero and heroine - it was all there. I enjoyed every single minute! I found myself intrigued by all the characters, not just Palmer and Marek, and I can't wait to read more about them in future books.

Loved it, HIGHLY recommend it, and I'm dying for the next!

Now I grabbed this book because I heard a lot of people talking about it. And I thought ok let me check it out. I will start by saying that I've kind of stayed of away from the High School Bully reads for the last little bit but call it intuition I decided I would give this one a shot.

Glass Heart Savage definitely intrigued me. This story definitely has it's secrets and it kept me reading hoping to find out what those were.

Our main MC is quite the savage, cruel and crass as I would expect from a Bully romance but what really had me reading and getting interested with each turn of the page was the relationship that built between the anti-hero and heroine. A love hate relationship with a lot of push and pull. I loved that the heroine wasn't that big of a pushover there were moments she stood her ground as well.

Now there are also some other characters that have caught my attention with this one and I love it when books have me wanting more from secondary characters.

Iler weaves a dark tale with some definite secrets and lies just waiting to be unraveled and I've pretty much hoped on this train and am ready to ride it out.

Lindsey Iler brings you a bully romance that is One. Of. A. Kind! I’m a huge bully romance reader but I’ve had to scale back because so many authors have been trying their hand at bully and for some it just doesn’t work, or it just comes off as cliché. Glass Heart Savage is FAR from a cliché!!! You would never be able to guess this is Lindsey’s first go at a dark bully romance. She hits it OUT OF THE PARK!!!! And that is not an exaggeration!

In this book you meet Palmer, Marek, Breaker, Dixon, Byron and Delaney! The reason I add off these characters is even tho this is Palmer and Marek’s book these other guys play a HUGE part! You can’t help but love them all! Palmer is probably one of my favorite female leads!!! She stands her ground and shows these guys she’s not one to mess with and she’s not one to break. And boy do these guys try to break her!

This book is full of twists and turns. And quite a few wtf moments! I absolutely love Lindsey’s unique twist to her dark bully romance! It’s definitely not like any other bully romance I’ve read! If I could give this book 10 gazillion stars I would!!!!! Absolute PERFECTION!

I am in shock. Literally, my mouth is hanging open. I did not see this book coming at all. Sure, I love anything dark and bully romance is one of my favorite tropes but, dear Lord. This book was excellently done. I cannot believe I have to wait to see what happens.
I adored the writing. I adored how the plot gave me all the feels. It was angsty and twisted and everything I look for in a bully book. Full of twists and turns but also a book that will make you think long after you have finished it.
I adored it. Certainly a new favorite author for me. One that I will need to look out for. I recommend it to all fans of the genre.

4-1/2 stars!

This book was a complete and utter mind fuck. I feel like I need to go read through it again to make sure I understand everything that happened. There is so much going on & I feel like just more & more questions came up without answers. I think that’s what makes this book so great in my opinion because it literally has you turning page after page without realizing how much has passed because you just want answers. Or was that just me? Also first time I’ve read any of Lindsey’s books before & now I feel like I have to go stalk her & check out her other books.

It’s now 2am & my mind is racing with all these theories. I had a pretty good inkling about that last words spoken in the book so that didn’t come as a huge surprise to me. But everything else was a lot. Like a lot.

Palmer is awesome, I mean yes she’s this strong chick who doesn’t take any shit. But at the same time she does give in quicker then I would have thought. She gained my respect in the last few chapters for sure.

Byron what a psychopath. I do not like him. Don’t plan to ever like him. Breacher, he’s my favourite I think. Dixon is a mystery to me, I thought he’d be a bigger psycho than Byron but not a chance. Marek is... at first I really liked him, he was my favourite for sure. But I lost all respect for him in the end & he’s gonna have to hustle hard in the next book to get it back.

There’s so much going on throughout this entire book, it’s hard to keep it all straight. I just want answers. Basically you have to read it to get what I’m saying. You won’t regret it but I’m warning you it’ll leave you spinning at the end. All the best books do!

I received an arc of this book in return for an honest review.

”You have glass hearts. All four of you. It's just a matter of time before someone comes along and exposes the cracks."

I received an ARC of this book, from the author, for my honest review. Glass Heart Savage releases on April 6th 2020!

I LOVE Lindsey Iler. I'm trying not to sound like too much of a fan girl, but it's hard. She has helped me so much, when it comes to writing my own book, making my cover, and just always being there for me if I have a silly question. Also, she writes exceptionally well, and she gets better with every book she releases.

This book was completely different than anything Lindsey has written so far. I wasn't sure what to expect when I was diving in. I knew it was a darker romance, and I generally like those. I actually messaged Lindsey while I was reading to tell her I didn't even know she could write like that.

Marek is no knight in shining armor. If he's out in these woods, it's not to save me. He's here to ruin me.

Marek was one of those anti heroes. You hate him, but you love him just as much. Most of his actions and decisions were questionable, and I found myself more often than not, wanting to strangle him. I also think he was a bit misunderstood. I liked how Palmer entered his life, and even if at first she was just a game to him, she still shook his world up. By the end of the book his character had so much growth that I found myself rooting for him.

”Don't start something you can't finish, Palmer Weston. A boy like me will shatter every part of your heart."

Palmer was a force to be reckoned with. She didn't take anyone's crap, and despite everything she had been through, she still managed to come out stronger. Her one and only weakness was Marek. She couldn't understand why she felt this pull towards him, even after everything he had put her through. My favorite thing about her was that she made him work for everything, even though she had trouble staying away from him she didn't make it easy for him.

The other characters in the book were essential to the story. The "glass heart boys" are all anti heroes in their own way, and I can't wait to see what happens as this series goes on. They will most definitely be boys you love to hate.

”My loss turned me into a monster. Yours carried you into the arms of one." ~/I>

I think Lindsey was meant to write dark romance. She did an excellent job of making you question your morals because you loved these guys even after everything they had done. The steamy scenes were HOT. HOT. HOT. I hope she continues to write books like this, because even though I love her romance books, there was just something about how well this one was written.

Overall, I'm giving this one 5 STARS. I loved Lindsey's first book in the dark romance world, and I can't wait to see where else this series goes. This book had everything you could ask for in a good book. There was mystery, suspense, some really hot steamy scenes, and characters that you hate so much you actually end up loving them.

"I didn't break, Marek. I survived."

I was so excited about this book coming out and now I am left somewhat disappointed.
The writing was great, he suspense was too - but not one character was like-able.
At first I thought our heroine would be kick ass - but she wasn't. The more she was tortured by the hero, the more she ran towards him.
Him and his friends took things way too far, and the way she rolled with it was sad and desperate.
Don't really care about book 2.

Crikey I can’t believe this is my first read by this author. Marek is one of the four Glass House Boys. This along with Palmer is their story. Their story is full of suspense and twists.

The other boys made some fabulous secondary characters and I can’t wait to read more about them all.

After that ending I’m waiting rather impatiently for more

O M G!!!!!! These boys are a piece of work!!!! Marek makes any other “hero” look like a monk but he’s a hot monk. Palmer wasn’t as weak as people thought she was; she was a baddie. This is so twisted and so good at the same time that you want to throw your kindle but also continue reading. There’s so many people in play and you just don’t know what’s going to come from what end. Marek and Palmer if you want to call it a relationship is so messed up that you don’t know what to believe. But omg its so complicated but oh so damn good!!! The ending and the revelation makes you wonder what in the world is going on!!!!!

If I could give this more then 5 stars I definitely would. More like 10 stars.

This book is everything I didn’t know I wanted. I freaking loved this book so much. And so can’t wait for the second one.

All the twists and and turns. All the secrets. Just wow Lindsey you have done it again with an amazing start to a series!!

Laughable. If you can get past this no logic/nonsense, then you'll enjoy this mess.

CHARACTERS:
- Palmer (heroine): DOORMAT AND DUMB. She is so easily manipulated.

- Marek (hero): Trash. His hot and cold demeanor will give you whiplash. Dude needs to figure out his shit between his old feelings for his ex and new feelings for Palmer.

- The rest of the boys: Bryon (teacher), Breaker & Dixon

- Reed: Palmer's sister. Reed previously had strong relationships with all the boys before she went missing. However, she was specifically in love with Marek AND Bryon. Marek was in love with her too. So yeah, it's weird af now to read about how the hero has moved onto the heroine, Palmer, the sister of Reed.

PREMISE: Unclear and we’re not given any back story.
All we know is multiple girls from school go missing and a killer is on the loose. One of the missing girls is the heroine's sister, Reed. Reed meant a lot to the boys and now they're determined to seek answers for her disappearance.

Throughout the book, the boys bully Palmer because they want to use her as bait to lure out Reed's killer. This part of their strategy made no DAMN sense because you'd think they'd want to protect Palmer at all costs if they cared so much for her sister, Reed. But it turns out the boys weren't even close with Palmer even when Reed was around. SO again, it makes no sense for the boys to outright act all familiar with her in the beginning of the book.

There was even a threesome scene with the teacher but like what?? yall barley knew each other?? AND you dated the heroine's sister LOL. But heroine tries to justify the sharing scene by "oh, I just want to experience what my sister felt so I can understand how it led to her demise" HUh?? LOL.

REASONS FOR LOW RATING:


OVERALL:
This is not a bully romance. This is cray cray shit. Romance in this book is dead for me.

Oh, this also ends on a CLIFFHANGER and I'm no closer to finding out ANY clues about the killer.

DFN

Sorry not for me. Did not like the character, any of them. Not redeeming features amongst them. Will pass, 5 stars? Why?
