Eight Cozy Nights (The Sublime, #5)
Julia Wolf
It'll take a miracle for the two of them to last more than eight nights...
Larissa:
Hanukkah's never been my favorite holiday. In fact, I usually forget it's happening. This year though, despite nearly being killed by my tall drink of water new neighbor, I'm in the mood to celebrate. Only I can't seem to find my menorah...
Yo:
Hanukkah's one of my favorite holidays. I look forward to celebrating every December. This year could be more interesting than ever when a gorgeous, curvy (and grumpy) woman moves in next door. Only I seem to have misplaced my candles...
Together these two opposites will light up the night.
If you love Hallmark movies, but sometimes with the language was a tad saltier and the loves scenes, well, existed, then this funny, sweet, and sexy Hanukkah novella is for you.
Dear Grumpy Boss (The Harder They Fall, #1)
Julia Wolf
I’ve spent the better part of the last few years successfully avoiding my brother’s best friend, Weston Aldrich.
As CEO of Andes Inc, the infuriatingly handsome and incessantly grumpy Weston also happens to be my new boss.
It shouldn’t have been hard to continue avoiding him. After all, he’s on the executive floor and I’m one of many copywriters.
Weston has his own ideas about how things should go between us. He’s in my emails, leaving notes on my desk, and as if that’s not enough, he arranges for me to accompany him on a business trip.
That leads to stolen touches, frenzied kisses, and the undeniable need to work each other out of our systems. That always works, right?
Except now that I know what it feels like to have Weston Aldrich appreciate every inch of my abundant curves, avoiding him is impossible.
But he’s my brother’s best friend.
And a workaholic.
We have to stop.
And we will.
Soon.
Just…not yet.
Sincerely, Your Inconvenient Wife (The Harder They Fall, #2)
Julia Wolf
I have this thing about saying ‘yes’. I do it frequently, and with abandon.
Skydiving on a whim? Yes.
A last minute getaway to Ireland? Yes!
Agreeing to a marriage of convenience with sexy and arrogant Luca Rossi for two years? Um…yes?
It should have been a simple arrangement. Luca needs a wife to clean up his image as the new CEO of Rossi Motors, and I need my mother to stop trying to fix me up on terrible dates. In two years, we’ll part amicably, no attachments or hard feelings.
Anything that happens between us will be outside the confines of our arrangement.
And by anything, I mean falling into Luca’s bed. Which I also do frequently and with abandon.
But nothing is ever as simple as it seems. It isn’t long before I fall for my motorcycle-riding, dirty-talking, sexy-as-sin husband.
I know I should be careful. This is just temporary, after all, and Luca and I want completely different futures.
The thing is, when I’m with Luca, all I want to do is say, ‘yes’, no matter how reckless that would be.
Built to Fall
Julia Wolf
“You’re perfect for this job, Claire. He won’t want to sleep with you. You’re not his...type.”
Dominic Cantrell has been famous almost as long as I’ve been alive, but he remains a dark, volatile mystery.
I know why I was hired to handle Dominic’s PR while he’s on tour. It’s not because of my experience—I have next to none. It’s because I’m safe. Plain, quiet, shy, with more-than-ample curves, I won’t distract him.
What I didn’t count on was Dominic distracting me instead. I shouldn’t be so drawn to him. He’s too old for me, too closed-off, and definitely too angry, but I’ve been a good girl for far too long.
Why can’t I be just a little bit bad, especially when my rock star fantasy is so willing to corrupt me?
Our fling has an expiration date at the end of the tour. No strings, no feelings, no heartbreak when it’s over.
I tell myself I won’t fall. But I don’t know if I’m built that way.
Soft Like Thunder (Savage U, #1)
Julia Wolf
Helen. What a sweet name for a girl who is anything but.
The first time I laid eyes on Theo Whitlock, I chased him and his frat boy friends with a bat.
I’m no white knight.
I’m broke. He’s rich. I destroyed his car. He chooses not to rat me out.
I was never supposed to go to college, but especially not one like Savage U, where only the wealthiest need apply. One might call this a lucky break, only I don’t feel so lucky with a drug dealer breathing down my neck, and a gangster threatening to burn my house down.
You have a face that could launch a thousand ships.
Theo and I don’t make sense, but being with him feels good, and I need more than my books and classes to distract me from the chaos and violence in my life.
I know you’re my good girl. Aren’t you, Helen? Tell me.
We’re casual. No complications. We have to be. I’m keeping secrets, and I have a feeling behind Theo Whitlock’s twinkly blue eyes is a whole world of darkness.
Do you think about me?
Too much…
Did I hurt you?
He will...if the other savages don’t get to me first.
(Full blurb to come! The release date will be moved forward. Savage U is a spin-off of The Savage Crew, but can be read as a standalone!)
Unrequited (Unrequited, #1)
Julia Wolf
My proper southern belle mama might disagree, but I say I was born to be a rebel. From the second I got my hands on a pair of drumsticks, my future was sealed. I never fit in anyway, not with my rocker soul and curves that never take a day off.
But what’s a drummer without a band? Oh, that’s right. A cocktail waitress.
That is, until the chance of a lifetime falls into my lap—Unrequited needs a drummer, and I happen to have an ‘in’ with the band.
The only trouble is, Santiago Garza, Unrequited’s broody, scowly bassist, doesn’t want me in his band, which is kind of funny, considering he was the one who took my heart and stomped all over it five years ago.
My career is far more important than hurt feelings though, so Santiago can suck it up and deal. That’s what I’m doing, no matter how many times I remember the feel of his lips on mine. I won’t fall for him this time. I’m done being anyone’s second choice.
Burn it Down (The Savage Crew, #3)
Julia Wolf
I’m the smart girl with my nose constantly in a book. The one with the level head who never breaks the rules…until I do.
And wouldn’t you know, the one person who knows about my case of temporary rebellion is the last one I’d ever want to find out.
Gabe Fuller might be Savage River High’s class clown, but as far as I’m concerned, he’s a villain in disguise. Once upon a time, I gave him my heart, but our ending was no fairytale.
As the keeper of my darkest secret, Gabe thinks he owns me. I’ll play along because I have no other choice, but I’ll never bow, and I definitely won’t fall…no matter how good his hands feel on my curves.
Stone Cold Notes (The Seasons Change)
Julia Wolf
They called him Stone Cold.
Once upon a time, I called him my pen pal.
When I wrote to Callum Rose five years ago, I never expected a response. He was an up and coming rock star, afterall, and I was just a shy seventeen-year-old. He did write back though, and through hundreds of emails, we became best friends.
Until the day we unknowingly broke each other’s heart.
It’s been three years since our last email. I’m all grown up with a new job at Good Music, and finally have my act together. But then Callum Rose walks in the door, and I’m instantly thrown back to the days when he meant everything to me.
The thing is...he doesn’t know who I am. He’s never seen my face. And this Callum Rose lives up to his stone cold reputation.
That is, until one night, he sees me in another man’s arms, and decides to claim me. Then there is nothing cold about him.
Callum becomes a man on fire for me, introverted, awkward, chubby Wren Anderson. He’s obsessive, possessive, and kind of stalker-y—and I like it...a little too much. The problem is, he still doesn’t know I’m the girl who walked away from him or the reason behind it, and I’m afraid when he finds out, I’ll be right back in the cold again.
Falling in Reverse (The Seasons Change)
Julia Wolf
Ronan Walsh.
Delicious Irish accent. Built like a slab of marble. Infuriatingly controlling.
My new bodyguard...
All I want is to rock hard with my band, The Seasons Change, and finally live my life exactly how I please. No one telling me what to do, no constraints, total freedom.
Too bad I’ve managed to piss someone off.
Crazed fan or bitter ex, it doesn’t really matter, since the result is the same. My wings are clipped and I’m strapped to a bodyguard with steamrolling tendencies and a disdain for celebrities.
Everyday I spend with Ronan is a battle. For control. For independence. And most unexpectedly, with my own willpower.
Because Ronan doesn’t just want to protect me. He wants me in his bed too, and ceding my control to Ronan is more tempting than I ever imagined.
But I’m Iris Adler, a fierce-to-my-bones rocker. If Ronan Walsh really wants all of me, he’d better be prepared for the fall.
Through the Ashes (The Savage Crew, #2)
Julia Wolf
I’ve never fit in, but I have no desire to stand out either. I was perfectly fine hanging in the shadows, but my choice to remain anonymous is taken from me.
I’m thrust into the spotlight. His spotlight.
Asher Beck is a golden god at Savage River High. Football star, whip-smart, and popular, we don’t belong in the same hemisphere, let alone circle. But underneath that perfection is a darkness he only reveals to me.
I have no idea what I did to capture Asher’s attention, but he is relentless in his pursuit. The problem is, I can’t tell if he’s trying to break me or own me...and I don’t know which I want more.
Broken boy meets broken girl.
Author's Note: Through the Ashes is a high school bully romance with mature themes and dubious situations some readers may find offensive. If heroes who are golden on the outside but dark as night on the inside aren't your thing, this book isn't for you!
Start a Fire (The Savage Crew, #1)
Julia Wolf
I have my senior year planned: keep my head down, don’t make any waves, and get the diploma. I’ve done the popularity thing at Savage River High, but after two years away, I have no interest in reclaiming my crown.
The last time I put myself in the spotlight, I was left in shambles.
Unfortunately, my carefully laid plans go to hell when I grab the attention of dark, forbidding, and brutally hot Sebastian Vega. He looks at me like he wants to kill my puppy or eat me alive. Quite possibly both.
Sebastian is everywhere I go, and he’s decided I’m the twisted game he wants to play, whether I’m a willing participant or not.
The question is...what will I have to lose in order to win?
Authors Note: This is a DARK high school bully romance with mature themes and dubious situations that some readers may find offensive. If you’re looking for a nice guy, prince of a hero, this story isn’t for you.
Bright Like Midnight (Savage U, #2)
Julia Wolf
Make no mistake, Zadie Night, I am the bad guy here.
The first time I laid eyes on Amir Vasquez, he held me hostage in my dorm.
You made me a promise.
I swore to myself my second year at Savage U would be different from the last. No more hiding from things that go bump in the night. I’m dating now. Making friends. Living my life.
But then someone starts leaving me notes and whispering my name in the dark, scaring me right back into my shell.
Are you my pet?
I’m shy and soft. Amir is dominant and hard. He stole a kiss once, and then he left me.
I should stay far away from him. But you know what they say about the devil you know…
Do I own you?
Amir will protect me, but not without cost.
I’m his, to do with as he pleases.
He thinks it’s a punishment.
But what he doesn’t know is I haven’t stopped thinking about him since he was my captor.
No one’s going to hurt you.
I’m safe from harm if I’m with him because he’s the biggest bad on campus.
Show me your whole universe.
And somewhere along the way, he became my haven, too.
You should be scared of me.
I can’t believe I’ve fallen for the villain.
(Author's note: Bright Like Midnight is a dark college romance that explores mature themes and dubious situations. If you're looking for a nice guy hero, this story isn't for you!)
Sweet Like Poison (Savage U, #3)
Julia Wolf
You need a keeper, Elsa.
The first time I laid eyes on the delicious mountain of a man, Lachlan “Lock” Kelly, he walked out of the room without giving me a single glance.
You’re in trouble now.
It’s my junior year at Savage U and life is grand. Except for the fact that Lachlan Kelly lives right next door, he acts like he doesn’t know my name, and he barely acknowledges my existence.
I don’t get it. How can he so easily look away from me when he’s all I see?
The ice queen is melting…
A few angry frat boys and their arm candy make it their mission to ruin my semester and possibly my life. But I show those boys that messing with Elena Sanderson is a fatal mistake, and Lachlan surprisingly backs me up.
And when he finally gives me his attention, I greedily soak up everything he has to offer.
You’re arsenic-laced candy
Lachlan tells me I’m bad for him, but he can’t resist the pull between us anymore.
I don’t break things.
I know he’s not staying.
When he goes, he’ll leave me tangled up in memories.
I won’t play games.
His promises have a time limit, even though I’m beginning to wish they didn’t.
Even if it hurts…
We were over before we ever began.
(Author's note: Sweet Like Poison contains dark themes and mature content, including mentions of past assault. Please read the full content warning inside the book.)
Misconception (Unrequited #2)
Julia Wolf
I know rock stars. I grew up in the business, and now I make a living managing their tours. I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Lots and lots of ugly.
All that ugly is why I’ve sworn off dating rockers, but sleeping with them, well...I’ve been known to make the occasional exception.
One sultry night in Vegas, Mo Aronson, lead singer of Unrequited, becomes one of those exceptions. We dance, we connect, we... get married.
That wasn’t in the cards. And the positive pregnancy test a few weeks later really wasn’t in the cards.
Despite the shock, I think I can handle becoming a mom. What I’m not sure I can handle is the younger, bad boy rocker who won’t back down no matter how many times I push him away.
Dissonance (Unrequited, #3)
Julia Wolf
Everyone loves Alex Murray.
I’m not everyone.
My history with Alex goes way back. Back to before the fame and groupies and wild tours. Before he was the lead guitarist for Unrequited. We’ve known each other for a decade and have been at odds for a good portion of it.
When I need Alex’s help, he jumps in with both feet, volunteering to be my fake boyfriend at an old friend’s out-of-town wedding.
Where my ex-boyfriend will be. The man I thought I’d marry one day.
I’m going to the wedding for closure, but what I didn’t count on is how my eyes are opened to who Alex Murray really is. Or that the act we’re putting on isn’t an act at all.
Where Waves Break (The Seasons Change)
Julia Wolf
My new boss is:
-A former rock star, turned grumpy mechanic
-A single dad
-My teenage crush
It was supposed to be a one week job. Nannying Diego Garza's adorable, four-year-old son should've been easy.
But things get complicated when Diego catches me doing something I shouldn't. When he confronts me, I do the only thing I can think of: get down on my knees.
To my surprise, he doesn't get angry.
Instead, Diego Garza calls me a good girl.
Then my one week job turns into all summer. I'm living with Diego and his son, desperately trying to forget how right it felt to be on my knees for him and how badly I crave to hear more of his praise.
Except Diego doesn't forget. All day I take care of his son, and every hot summer night, he takes care of me. He tells me I'm perfect. Beautiful. Sexy.
I want to belong to Diego Garza in every way. But he hasn't asked me to stay when this job is over at the end of summer.
The question is...when I'm not his nanny anymore, will I still be his?
Not So Truly Yours (The Harder They Fall, #4)
Julia Wolf
The first time I met Miles Aldrich, he stole my cupcakes.
The second time, I handed him a bill for what he owed me. He’s a billionaire after all. He can afford it.
The third time we met… well, that was the biggest surprise of all. I walked into his office looking for help with a business plan. But I somehow walked out… with a fake boyfriend.
Miles claims the plan is simple: he’ll lend me his powerful family’s reputation by posing as my boyfriend. I’ll gain important contacts, and he’ll have someone by his side so he doesn’t have to make excuses for why he’s not dating anyone.
For one whole summer, Miles Aldrich is not so truly mine. The real man behind the smooth lines and flirty smiles is nothing like I assumed.
He’s sunshine in a tall, gorgeous package.
He kisses me like his life depends on it.
Logically, I know this relationship of ours isn’t real.
But the problem is… the feelings he’s bringing out in me are true as can be.
Tropes:
Fake dating
Billionaire
Golden retriever boyfriend/black cat girlfriend
Found family
Workplace
Faded in Bloom (The Seasons Change)
Julia Wolf
I know three things about my neighbor, Adam Wainwright.
1. He likes to play his guitar on his balcony, often in his underwear.
2. He lives up to his f-boy reputation.
3. He must never, ever exist outside of the Friend Zone.
But the problem with number three is over the last year, he’s become my everything.
Adam’s the best friend I’ve ever had. The one who pushes me to follow dreams I’d written off as impossible.
We have strict lines that we don’t cross. Even when we blur them on occasion by playing you can look but you can’t touch, the lines are always there, guarding our friendship.
Taunting me with possibility.
Anytime he’s near, butterflies wage war in my stomach, desperately wanting those possibilities to become reality.
But me and my stupid butterflies are alone in that desire.
Adam Wainwright will never be mine, and I can no longer watch him be everyone else’s.
I don’t know how this will all go down, but one thing I do know?
I’m going to ruin our friendship.
See It Through (Kelly Ranch #1)
Julia Wolf
This house isn't big enough for the both of us...As my older brother’s best friend, Remington Town used to be like a member of my family. But the minute he turned eighteen, he left our small town of Sugar Brush, Wyoming and never looked back.
Thirteen years later, Remi shows up to settle his father’s estate, but as far as I’m concerned, he should’ve stayed gone. Besides, he’s in for a big surprise when he finds out the old farmhouse he intends to sell is now half mine.
I expect Remi to hit the road just like he did all those years ago, but infuriatingly, he settles in like he plans on staying for a while. It’s impossible to avoid him since I run my farrier business out of the house he’s now haunting. Everywhere I turn, I seem to find him, with his easy smiles and endless patience, no matter what I throw at him—literally.
When push comes to shove and I’m in danger, Remi stands by me without question. His steady, surprisingly gentle presence softens me to him. Soon, a tentative friendship leads to a fiery passion neither of us saw coming.
Remi and I find solace and beauty in each other, but behind the picturesque facade of our small town lurks an ugliness. Someone doesn’t like me having all that I do, and if they have their way, I’ll be left with nothing at all.See It Through is a small town, western romance featuring the Kelly family. It can be read as a complete standalone, however this series is second generation. The Kelly kids' parents are Lock and Elena, and their story starts in Sweet Like Poison. This is Hannah Kelly's story.
Fix Her Up (The Sublime, #4)
Julia Wolf
At thirty, I’m starting over after a scandal that nearly ruined me. New job, new fixer-upper house, and all-new outlook.
How did I end up with a tall, devilishly handsome roommate? I can't actually tell you. Avi Cohen steamrolled into my life, and I kind of liked it.
He's a flirt, but we have a contract and rule number one is no sex. Which is a good thing, because as attractive as he is, he's just putting his broken heart back together, and I'm not looking to be his rebound.
Only it seems our contract isn't worth the pink highlighter and paper it's written on since Avi's never met a rule he didn't want to break.
Avi wants more than a hook-up, and maybe I do too, but once he finds out about the scandal that rocked my past, he might never look at me the same.
(Fix Her Up was originally titled Pixie Cut.)
P.S. You're Intolerable (The Harder They Fall, #3)
Julia Wolf
My boss, Elliot Levy is intolerable, and I tell him so everyday…in the little notes I write and then hide in the back of my desk.
I can’t exactly say to his face that I’m convinced he’s a cyborg, considering I'm about to become a single mother and I really need to keep my job as his assistant.
Elliot never looks at me, so he doesn’t even notice I’m pregnant until I’m seven months along. The first thing he asks is if I’m planning to come back to work once I have the baby.
Not unexpected.
What is unexpected is Elliot coming to my rescue when I need a place to stay after my daughter is born. While living with him, I get to see a whole other side of him…especially when he walks around his house without a shirt on.
Which he does, ALL. THE. TIME.
I shouldn’t look, but I can’t help it. He’s gorgeous in a suit, but out of one? Devastating.
Elliot shows me he isn’t the heartless robot I once thought. It’s still terrifying to take a chance on him, even when he holds my baby like she’s precious to him, and he touches me like he’s been longing to for ages.
Now that he has me, he isn’t letting me go without a fight.
And Elliot Levy didn’t get where he is in business without learning a few underhanded tricks. What will he do to keep me? To keep us?
P.S. I think I’m falling for you.
Tropes:
*Grumpy/Sunshine
*Curvy FMC
*Close Proximity
*Single Mother
*Boss/Assistant
P.S. You're Intolerable can be read as a complete standalone!
By The Letter (Mile High Billionaires, #2)
Julia Wolf
I wanted one thing just for me: a hot night with an anonymous masked man. And oh, did I get it.
A shy, reserved woman like me, wearing a gold mask and spending the night with a stranger from a fantasy fulfillment app? Yep, I did that. And it was the perfect escape from the pressure of trying to save my failing company.
Then, Roman Wells—ex-rugby star and new investor in my struggling business—walks into my office. Everyone else loves him: his easy laugh, rugged good looks, and confident charm, but I can barely meet his eyes without turning into a blushing mess.
From our first painfully awkward encounter, things only get worse, with misunderstanding after misunderstanding, until he blindsides me with a ruthless business move that leaves me reeling.
But that’s nothing compared to the positive pregnancy test in my hands. That fantasy night becomes all too real when I find out Roman is my masked man—and the father of my baby.
Roman is determined to be part of this baby’s life—and mine. He won’t back down easily. He wants to make things right, but after the underhanded move he pulled, trusting him isn’t so simple.
He might be winning over my picky cat, personally delivering breakfast to me every morning, and leaving me really cute notes, but how can I believe the man who betrayed me in business will take care of my heart?
Times Like These (Blue is the Color, #1)
Julia Wolf
An enemies-to-lovers rock star romance...
Nick Fletcher has the voice of a god and a tongue as sharp as a knife. His words can cut, and this time, his quick temper has earned him an intruder in his life and on his tour.
Dalia Brenner looks like a grown-up Annie gone bad, but he wants nothing to do with her pin-up worthy curves and smart mouth. His method of dealing is to keep his head down, get through the tour, and then he'll never have to see her again.
Dalia has no intention of having heart-to-hearts with Nick. They share a bus and sleep three feet apart every night, but that doesn't mean she can't ignore the scowly, grumpy lead singer.
Except she can't seem to deny the annoying instinct to "fix" the pain and grief behind Nick's sea glass eyes, even though she definitely knows better.
And Nick, well, he's getting tired of denying Dalia...period.
Dalia has plans though, and none of them involve being a rock star's girlfriend. Too bad Nick couldn't disagree more.
Save One Thing (Savage Academy, #1)
Julia Wolf
I have one simple rule: no boyfriends until graduation.
I’m too close to my goal of landing a full ride to college to get distracted now.
Besides, I blend in better at the skate park than I do in the hallowed halls of Savage Academy, boarding school for the rich and overprivileged, so staying away from guys hasn’t been a problem…
Until him.
Beckett Savage. Coldly handsome. Forever brooding. I thought he hated me. His attempt to get me expelled two years ago would leave that impression on anyone.
But lately, Beckett isn’t acting like he hates me.
He’s watching me with his icy blue eyes, showing up everywhere I go, and getting between me and any other guy who dares to look at me.
When he lets me see beneath his untouchable veneer, I’m shocked at what I find.
Suddenly, my one simple rule is becoming complicated.
Giving in to my feelings for Beckett Savage could either be the beginning of something great…or the end of everything I’ve worked for.
In the Details (Mile High Billionaires, #1)
Julia Wolf
Two strangers at a beat down biker bar. A hot night twisted up in the sheets. Absolutely no strings attached.
My life is too complicated for more than that. Besides, what would I do with a possessive, demanding, sexy as hell motorcycle man? Especially one who’s younger than me.
As an executive with a demanding career and single mom to a three-year-old little girl, my life is planned down to the minute, but everyone knows what they say about the best laid plans…
When Jake Hayes walks into Rossi Motors looking for a partnership between our two companies, I’m lost for words. It turns out, my motorcycle man looks just as good wearing a finely tailored suit as he does straddling a bike in his leathers.
Now that he’s found me, he wants more hot, steamy nights with me. He’s persistent and I’m…tempted.
I try to keep him at arm’s length, but he slowly draws me in with his searing kisses and lighthearted teasing. It doesn’t hurt that he’s sweet and gentle with my little girl either. But then, he has plenty of experience with kids since he has a daughter of his own.
Jake wants me and all the baggage I come with. I want him too, but my heart's been too battered to give it away easily.
If I don’t choose, Jake just might take matters into his own hands and steal it anyway.
Tropes:
*Single dad AND Single mom
*Billionaire (Her)
*One night stand
*Curvy Heroine
*Workplace
One Day Guy (The Sublime, #1)
Julia Wolf
The first time I saw Joe Silver, I was an awkward seventeen-year-old girl and he was the blue-eyed, tight-jeaned rocker performing on stage. In an unexpected twist, we became friends, until I wanted more. Then he utterly demolished my heart.
Now I’m thirty-one, slightly less awkward, and Joe Silver just strolled into my little town. Instead of a rock star, he’s now a music teacher, but he’s still got the same irresistible pull as he did that first night.
He’s everything I want in a man: funny, sweet, gainfully employed, and sexy as hell. He’s also the guy who turned my life upside down.
I’m wary and my battered heart doesn’t quite trust him, even though he’s working his way past my poorly constructed barriers.
Joe Silver might be my forever...or he might earn a second entry on my list of heartbreaks.
One Day Guy is a small town, slow burn, second chance romance that is high on swoony and funny moments, and low on angst (but just enough!)....plus some rad nineties dance moves.
(One Day Guy was originally titled Cut Short. It is newly revised and expanded for 2020!)
Jump on Three (Savage Academy #3)
Julia Wolf
-Rules are my favorite.
-Order relaxes me.
-Tattooed boys with shaggy hair and soulful eyes are strictly off-limits.
I’ve recently come to the conclusion I’m bad at boyfriends. But as terrible as I am at choosing them, even I would never consider my sister’s former crush—tall, growly, enigmatic Ivan Sokolov. That’s a line I won’t cross, even if Delilah is way over him.
Ivan is just my swim teammate.
The guy who walks me to class and shares his playlists.
And he’s the person who keeps stealing my study room. Sure, there are others, but room three is mine. Which I let him know, in no uncertain terms.
The thing is, Ivan thinks my bluntness is adorable. He’s not scared off by my dozens of questions or need to move. My quirks are cute to him.
And I…well, I can’t stop looking at him, even though I shouldn’t. I also can’t resist following him—just a little—to find out his secrets.
I know better. Bullies and a life that hasn’t always been kind have toughened me up. I’m a realist and this is black and white.
Except when Ivan’s lips touch mine and my orderly world is turned upside down, I suddenly start to see how beautiful gray can be.
These Two Wrongs (Savage Academy, #2)
Julia Wolf
The universe must really hate me.
Rhys Astor, the guy with a deadly smirk and devil-may-care attitude, is the sole witness to one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. But even worse, now he’s suddenly intrigued by me, which is confusing because until now, he couldn’t be bothered to remember my name.
Dorothy, Donatella, Danielle…no, it’s Delilah, you unhinged prat.
I don’t want his attention. If I had my way, we’d go on avoiding each other for the rest of our lives, but again, the universe is conspiring against me. Rhys is the captain of the fencing team, and I’m the new manager. That means we’re stuck together everyday for practice, tournaments, and long, long bus rides to away matches.
Our shared bus rides lead to heated bickering.
That bickering leads to hate-kissing…and not-so-hate kissing.
And somehow, those few stolen kisses lead to sexy tutoring sessions, where Rhys is an extremely enthusiastic student.
He shows me with every single touch, kiss, and whispered word how much he appreciates my rounded curves. And in return, I show him what it means to truly be cared for.
But I have a feeling Rhys is hiding something. That his motives might not be what they seem.
I’ve never wanted to be wrong about anything more than I do about these nagging suspicions.
Because if I’m right, then there’s nothing but heartbreak waiting for me.
(These Two Wrongs is an enemies to lovers, standalone romance. There is no OW drama, no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA!)
Tropes:
Enemies to Lovers
Plus size heroine
Found family
Sports (fencing)
The Very Worst (The Sublime, #2)
Julia Wolf
James O’Malley is hot.
Built like a lumberjack with a beard to match, I can’t take my eyes off him.
I really should be able to, considering we had the very worst sex of my life six months ago. But he won't stop looking at me with his broody, soulful gaze every time I take a seat at his bar and I’m quickly becoming addicted to it.
When he looks at me like that, I think maybe I should throw out all my rules and give him a second chance to become the very best.
James doesn't just want a second chance; he wants all of me, and he won't settle for any less.
I have to decide if I can open myself up to a man whose code I can't quite crack. Because he might want all of me, but I'm not sure he's willing to give me the same.
The Very Worst is a sexy and funny second chance romance with a broody, introverted hero who goes from the worst to the best and a sassy, dancer heroine. It can be read as a standalone!

Real Like Daydreams (Savage U #4)
Julia Wolf
Seraphina…that’s a big name.
The first time I laid eyes on Julien Umbra, he made me cry.
That makes him sound mean, but grumpy would be more of an apt description. Besides, I always cry when I’m drunk.
Hate is a strong, strong word.
I’m back for another semester at Savage U, nursing a bruised heart and shattered ego. That’s what happens when your ex cheats and everyone knows.
Worse than that, the girl my ex told me not to worry about and then banged is vying for the one thing I want: drum captain of the marching band.
Pretend all you want to.
I have a chance to get what I want, there’s just one little thing I have to do: fake date the grumpy guy in the hoodie. The one who sits alone at the front of the class and growls at anyone who speaks to him.
But Julien doesn’t growl at me, and to my surprise, he agrees to be my fake boyfriend.
Breaking the already broken…
Julien is scarred in more ways than one, but he’s not as broken as he thinks he is. There's something about him that draws me in.
I like him, and the longer we do this, it starts to feel like it’s not for show.
All of this is fleeting.
I have to remember this is fake.
When I get what I want, Julien and I will walk away from each other.
The song will end.
But what if all I want is Julien?
Never Again (Never Blue #2)
Julia Wolf
They were a perfect storm of bad decisions and tragedy...
We thought our forever kind of love would protect us.
We thought we were strong enough to withstand any storm.
But we were so young then. We couldn't have known what was coming.
"First loves will mess you up until the end of time if you let them."
Older now, we're both stronger than we've ever been. Brought back together by chance, we have a second chance to discover if forever is still the truth or yet another broken promise.
(This is the conclusion to Tali and Jude's epic love story.)
Never Lasting (Never Blue #1)
Julia Wolf
Tali DiPietro is a good girl with a streak of punk rock rebel.
Before I left for college, my mom told me not to settle down with the first guy who crosses my path. Sage advise, sure, but that’s hard to do after I share an elevator with a guy who is nothing like the boys back home. I swore off musicians a long time ago, but when I see Jude on stage for the first time, I know I’m going to fall for him, and I’m damn sure it’s going to hurt.
Jude Goldman is a bad boy with a guitar and big dreams.
I have one goal: making it as a musician. There's no obstacle I won't destroy to be the one under the spotlight. Nothing has slowed me down, not until a chocolate-eyed girl with a New York accent enters my world. Tali becomes as important as landing a record deal, and I’ll do anything to have both, no matter how much it hurts.
We’re two ships moored together in a storm of excess, stardom, and broken promises pulled apart and yanked back in, until we’re both battered and breaking. We have that forever kind of love, but for us, forever might be nothing more than stardust and memories.
(The Never Blue duet is a spin-off of the Blue is the Color series, but can be read as a complete standalone!)
Rocked (The Everyday Heroes World)
Julia Wolf
Julia Wolf’s Rocked, is an emotional and sexy rock star romance written in K. Bromberg’s Everyday Heroes World.
What happens when a star begins to fade?
My life’s a mess. Record sales are plummeting and my inspiration has flown the coop. I’d do anything to climb back to the top of the rock music charts, even temporarily relocating to a small town to clear my head.
What I didn’t count on is the pretty paramedic named Kat next door who takes an instant dislike to me. Nor did I ever think I’d enjoy hanging out with her quirky, twelve-year-old daughter and a dog who doesn’t believe the rules apply to him.
My new neighbor is strong, heroic, and unlike any woman, I’ve ever met. I should stay away—and focus on reviving my career—but that’s become impossible when I can’t stop thinking about her.
Kat makes me want things I’ve never dreamed of before. She’s tempting me to give up the spotlight, which is crazy since she’s not asking me to stay and I know I can’t.
So why does the thought of walking away make me feel more faded than ever?

Want You Bad (The Sublime, #3)
Julia Wolf
I’m a mess disguised in a pristine package. Routine and order are the only things keeping me sane these days. That is, until Charlie Hamada shows up in my small town and blasts my orderly (boring) life to bits.
Charming, spontaneous, and quirky Charlie has decided his mission is to turn me into a rebel...and I like being just a little bit bad more than I ever thought I would.
I like Charlie too, even though his tattoos and rocker past are nothing like my typical type. Maybe that’s exactly what draws me to him.

As perfect as our friendship is, I learned a long time ago that perfection is overrated. If only I can convince Charlie of the same thing.
