Then she met his best friend.It’s been eight months since the one-night stand that changed Rayna’s life, and she still thinks about Cain every day, making it hard to move on.When her best friend plans a girls’ weekend in Vegas, Rayna is ready to take a leap of faith and get on with her life… until she finds herself stranded on the side of the road with a flat … of the road with a flat tire. Alone, afraid, and in the middle of nowhere, the last person she expects to stop and lend a hand is the one man she’s never been able to forget. Cain. But that’s exactly who shows up, and he’s even hotter now than he was on New Year’s Eve.
Cain can’t believe his good fortune. Rayna has haunted his memories for eight long months. Now he has a chance to finish what he started, and if Rayna is game, he’s prepared to blow her mind. Because this time his best friend Storm is with him, and the pair has a salaciously unique history with women. Maybe he and Storm are just what the overly sheltered Rayna needs to truly set herself free from her tragic past.
But hearts can be fickle lovers, and none of them can predict how one night of passionate exploration will alter the bonds of friendship, proving that sometimes three really can be a crowd.

Savage Storm is a continuation of Lightning Strikes and Rayna and Cain’s story. The story picks up eight months later and Rayna is still captivated and consumed by the one night stand she shared with Cain and that changed her life.
Okay, can I just lead with the fact that the chemistry between Rayna and Cain was off-the-charts sizzling! I was completely taken with them and i has zero doubts those two belonged together. As for Storm, Cain’s best friend and Rayna’s other love interest, I could see what was meant to be a connection, but it just paled to what she and Cain had. At some points the story became predictable, but honestly that chemistry and sizzle between Rayna and Cain carried me through. 4 stars.
3.75 stars–SAVAGE STORM is the first full-length instalment in Donya Lynne’s contemporary, adult SAVAGE STORM erotic, romance series focusing on artist Rayna Bellamy, Cain Savage, and Mike ‘Storm’ . SAVAGE STORM picks up approximately 7 months after the events of the prequel novella LIGHTNING STRIKES. I recommend reading LIGHTNING STRIKES for back story and history between Rayna and Cain.
NOTE: SAVAGE STORM contains M/F/M sexual scenarios as well as some light spanking.
Told from three third person perspectives (Rayna, Cain and Mike) SAVAGE STORM follows in the aftermath of a New Year’s Eve one night stand in which Cain Savage woke to an empty bed. Seven months later Cain would come face to face with the woman he could never forget-Rayna Bellamy- a woman who stirred something deep within our story line hero. What ensues is the building relationship and romance between Rayna and best friends Cain and Mike, and the potential fall-out as jealousy and life stand in the way.
Rayna Bellamy doesn’t do long-term commitments and instead decided to focus on a girl’s weekend in Vegas but a flat tire will bring Cain Savage up close and personal, the man with whom she spent a one-night stand. Cain and his best friend Mike aka Storm are currently living and working in Siberia, California, and are ready to add bring Rayna Bellamy into their lives, if only for a short time. Neither Cain nor Mike do romance and love but Mike begins to develop feelings for Rayna, feelings that leave Cain questioning the future, in more ways than one.
The relationship between Rayna, Cain and Mike is highly sexual; a ménage affair that threatens the life-long friendship between Cain and Mike, a friendship that is threatened by something else. Mike and Cain have shared several women in the past but something about Rayna pulls the friends in opposite directions. Rayna is willing to step out of her comfort zone but soon finds herself falling in love. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.
We are introduced to Cain’s best friend Mike aka Storm, as well as the reintroduction of Rayna’s brother Kai, and her best friend Amy.
The world building continues to follow the events that destroyed Rayna’s life, and left her a shell of her former self but new information will come to light revealing what happened, and what will never be. In this, our heroine has a complete transformation in regards to her emotional stability, a transformation that is questionable in light of the fall-out from the events in her past. SAVAGE STORM reveals a little bit of the background history between Cain and Mike but skirts around the current situation, or how and why Mike and Cain are able to travel the world volunteering for one philanthropic adventure after another. I am hoping Donya reveals more of Cain and Mike’s back story.
SAVAGE STORM is a story of friendship, jealousy, secrets and love. The premise is intriguing, engaging and spicy; the characters are energetic and sassy; the romance is sensitive and spirited but quickly turns into a love triangle that could end tragically for one of our story line characters. SAVAGE STORM ends on a cliff-hanger, you have been warned.
