Crestmont University #2
Save Me
Just when I thought I had a grip on the dark world of The Crowned Syndicate, everything spun out of control. I'm in too deep with the most powerful guys at Crestmont University and they've become my protectors, my partners in the dangerous mafia underworld.
We're bound by secrets and blood now. After a betrayal that nearly shattered us, we're picking up the pieces. The Syndicate are ready to fight to keep our empire from crumbling, and I'm right there at the heart of it all.
But this fight is bigger than us. It's about loyalty, power, and a vendetta that could destroy everything we've built. We're up against the ropes, and trust is more fragile than ever.
As we face down our enemies and stand our ground, I know one thing for sure—we might just end up saving each other in the process.This is a dark academia reverse harem with plenty of TWs. This takes place in an entirely fictional world set in the UK.

Blood Will Out
Book two picks up without missing anything. Vogue has many hard life lessons in this one, and oh man do they show you the kind of woman she is.
The heat is off the charts. And can I just say.... what do they feed Adam? I mean seriously, what? When you read it you will understand my question...
This story will drag you under, and not let you go. Family betrayal and family connections

Once again, my own personal form of perfection. Continuing from its first instalment, Save Me packs one hell of a punch with a tempting and dangerously dark plot-line and the most tantalising of moments wrapped in one delicious package. Vogue is now firmly in the thick of it alongside The Crowned Syndicate, who have become her protectors. However, when loyalties become tested and the game reaches its climax, will this prove to be enough for Vogue? Will they be able to keep their kingdom from crumbling down around them?
Again, trigger warnings are a must! This is dark, tempting and oh so delicious, and again, it had everything I needed to keep my heart pounding, my hands gripping the edge of my seat and my brain absolutely wired to every word. However, it is not one for the faint hearted at all! This fictional world will tear you down, make you feel everything and then build you back up again and again. So immersive, so brilliantly written and such a thrill ride from beginning to end. I adored it. I adore this world.
Vogue: brilliant, brave and bold as ever. I love her so much. I love that her personality was so rooted that you really resonated with her. She was unafraid to be vulnerable girl but her strength constantly shines through and this was beautifully developed from the first instalment. Let’s not forget her beautiful protectors: chaotic, brooding, beautiful and so dangerously delicious. Their personalities were also so beautifully developed that I adored reading about them too!
What a journey. It was truly epic. I know this will be an epic reread for years to come.

Wow
What can is at about Save Me? Not much or I'll give away a lot of spoilers. I jumped on this as soon as I finished Ruin Me and I am sooo glad I didn't have to wait to find out what happens with Vogue. It flows smoothly from the first book and it kept on with the action, the tension and the mafia dealings.
Loved the growth of the fmc Vogue, she really grew and found herself and unfortunately she also found out who has been betraying her in the worse possible way. But it's ok cos she has the love of her men - not to mention her father and the man mountain that is Adam (who I love and I need him to find his mafia prince or princess)
A fabulous story that kept me on my toes, with all the heat and all the love that made my heart melt. And all the violet (not a typo but trying not to get sent to lockup) that my dark heart could wish for.
A must read for anyone who loves the darkness 🖤

After finishing book one I was so thrilled I didn’t have to wait to complete this duet with book two,
There is just as much spice and plot in the duet as you experienced in book one. However in book two we discover just how serious and determined Vogue really is and how she will stop at nothing to prove her self and her men.
Sit down and buckle up, go ahead and grab both copied because you will not be disappointed with the wild ride of Vogue and her protecter men.
Mafia ✔️

not enough
It was just a really quick read and it wasn’t really complex. It all wrapped up neatly and no additional complications. Even the bad guy wasn’t really that big of a problem and I don’t know how they weren’t wiped out initially after the first book. I also don’t like the resolution with the mother. She gets it easy with no consequence? Oof, just not great IMO. Definitely could have been a lot better if they had just expanded a little more. I normally think there are too many books in a story and for the first time ever, I think this story needed more.

Wow I absolutely loved this duet. Best part was reading book 1 and then able to read this one right away. Let me first say loved these characters. Vogue is now my favorite FMC. Story picks up right where book 1 left off. I seriously binged on this duet. Start to finish. Best dark rh college romance storyline I have read in a long time. Just the right amount of action and steam that I so needed. Highly Highly recommend reading. Omg I’m so going to be reading this one again.

Save Me book 2 in The Crestmont University duet kicked in right where the killer cliff-hanger of the last book ended. The repercussions of which had Vogue (FMC) determined to find her feet in this new world and within The Crowned Syndicate. This book was just jam packed with action, dark content and lots of steaminess between all of them. A cracking read with characters I really liked. Loved It.
April 22, 2024
Amazing duet!! Eve did it again with these books!! Loved both having to wait to dive right into the second book because I just loved all the characters so much. There’s action, adventure, twists and turns and a badass female and four strong guys by her side, what more could you ask for? Oh yeah found family too! This set was perfect!
April 24, 2024
This was such an great duet. Eve did an amazing job. The spice level is 15/10. This is the conclusion to Vogue and her guys. Save Me picks up right where Ruin Me left off. The storyline is excellent, and I loved Vogue's growth.The twists and the heat had me on the edge of my seat with my toes curling.

Vogue has just had her world flipped upside down, but she takes it in full stride and embraces her new life. She will learn everything she can to rise to the top of the crowned syndicate, but with power, she becomes a target. Vogue's four men have their hands full with making sure she makes her way to the top of their mafia world. Perfect ending to this series.

This was the perfect ending to this series! Our fmc has gone through so much, and is such a badass! I don't want to give away any spoilers but I love found families and I LIVED for the fact I didn't have to wait for this book. The adventure kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Vouge is my new favorite fmc!

thought it would be better
The first book was so rushed, I really hoped #2 would have more story. Some of the content was ridiculous - not believable in any sense. Even the spicy sex scenes fell flat. I felt I needed to finish it but I didn’t want to. I usually and stuck in the book and can’t wait for the next chapter. It was just a let down.

I absolutely loved this duet from Eve. It is a dark, mafia college romance it is spiccyyyy! Vogue shows her true strength in this book, and i love the connection you can see between her and her men. I want more of their story because i could read it and read it. What a brilliant ending.

This was a truly satisfying end to the story! Vogue comes into her own and the relationships she has built along the way were beautiful! I love the steamy scenes with them all and felt happy at the end! Great Book!

Well Written
Enjoyable. Definitely has a good plot and story line. I just wish it had more substance or more building. I’m not really sure what it was but the ending just wasn’t as satisfying for me.

This is the second book in the Crestmont University series. I love this series. Watching Vogue grow into her power and her men love and support her each step of the way was wonderful.

Love the series
The only reason this doesn't have a 5 star is because I want to know wtf her mom's problem was 😭😭😭 everything else was amazing! This was the first book I've ever read where a mafia daughter was actually cherished and had power! It was so fun!!!

These characters are great, and I love how they all came together as well as how their families worked it out in the end!

The spicy is at an 11 between Vogue, Thayer, Harrison, Callum and Quentin, if you love dark and dirty this book is for you! The crime, plot twists and spice will leave you at the edge of your seat!

Good storyline
Recommended read. Good storyline just felt a bit rushed and now deep detail as to how quick they were so dependent on each other with no real reason to be so fast.

Felt Rushed
Just like the first book, this book felt rushed. I think it needs a rewrite with in-depth chapters. Maybe it’s just me??!! It has potential

Meh
There was no real climax or antagonist, really. There was a very short and anticlimactic part but then nothing. Honestly I was disappointed

I want more
I ate both of the treatment university books up, I just wish there was a book three instead of the epilogue

The ending was kind of unsatisfying and this duet could definitely have been a single novel. 🤷🏾♀️
