Savage Burn is the second installment in the Savage Trilogy. If you haven’t read the first book savage Hunger then you will need to do so before proceeding.
Savage and Candace’s story continues with Savage trying to keep Candace away from her fiance, while ensure her and her father aren’t killed in the process. I found this book was a little slower that the first, but I’m guessing that won’t be the case in the final installment.
Did I mention this has a cliffy?? Well now you know.
Can’t wait for the final installment.
It’s an elaborate and intense world filled with twists and turns. Seriously exciting! A story filled with emotion and heat, action packed moments, drama, danger, intrigue, and sizzling chemistry.

But although Candace is brave and strong, she still has some insecurities regarding Rick. So as they build on their trust issues in this world full of secrets and danger. They will need to find out and focus on who they are all up against and why, so they can prepare to get out of this together. Because they are so much Better Together!
So hold on tight to the edge of your seat as Ms. Jones takes you on a phenomenal ride in his second part of this series. Rick and Candace absolutely sizzle, with lust and love, and want and need as they are Burning Alive for each other in this thrilling, intriguing action packed story. And what a CLIFFHANGER!
Received an early copy in exchange for an honest review.
Burn, baby, burn! 4 stars
The book starts where Savage Hunger left off, so you must read it first. We get more into the intense mystery in this book. Savage is just as possessive, protective, tender and entertaining as ever. I laughed out loud at some of his comments and inner dialogue! Candace is such a strong woman, a survivor and perfect for Rick Savage. She saw his darkness and was never afraid of it, and I loved that. They still have trust issues, but they are fire together and burn hotter than ever before! As the mystery deepens, will Savage be able to save Candace and the people she loves? Read this and find out and anticipate book 3 like I am!
*I received an advanced copy of this ebook from the author for my honest review.*
So once again I start off by saying how much I love this author and I am loving this trilogy. This is the second book and leaves off right where book one ends so you MUST read Savage Hunter first. I am one of those people that usually when I know there is going to be a cliffhanger, I wait until all the books are out before I read but I was so anxious to get my hands on Savage’s story I just couldn’t wait. Glutton for punishment because I know this author and what a queen of cliffy’s she is and yet other than almost throwing my phone, which would have been very expensive, I do not regret it one bit. I am completely in love with Savage and I love Candace and Savage together. They are the other half of each other and that is very evident. I love the humor that they have even though they are in a very intense situation. This book really does have it all, suspense, HOTNESS, all sorts of feels I promise. My only complaint was I just wanted it to keep going. I can not wait for the last book to come out!!
Review by Tabitha
I still stand by my statement that there is way more to this story than meets the eye and I am still very captivated with what is happening, has happened and will happen, but this particular chunk of story moved waaaay slower than I expected. It’s not a bad mark of the story itself, but the author could have condensed/sped this part up quite a bit and still delivered the plot points that we got. In my opinion that is …. And on that note, I have to tell you something …. Wait for it …. Just kidding lol I can’t say anything *insert evil laugh* just kidding again LOL
Here’s something I can say … Savage Hunger may not progress the journey of Candace and Ravage very far, but it does give us a huge perspective into Savage himself. The who/why of him is what the focus of this leg of the journey really is. There’s a bit too much of the whole one step forward two steps back thing for my taste right now and the push/pull between Candace and Savage was a bit much but they burned up my kindle with their chemistry just the same!
So, I’m still intrigued, but not as hipped up as I was when I read Savage Hunger. I’m feeling this could have easily been a duet, but maybe not *shrug* We shall see when the author gives us the final leg in their journey with Savage Love!! Stay tuned …..
I crave this authors cliffhangers and at the same time they completely gut me!
This story picks up right where book one left us hanging and it the twists and turns don’t stop. There is so much mystery, intrigue, and many secrets surrounding Candace, her father, her fiancé, and the man that has owned her heart forever, Savage.
As Candace and Savage clear some things up, they continue to battle for trust in a world where there are so many secrets. Watching them rekindle their relationship and battle their common enemy is so entertaining and Savage has some major swoon worthy moments that have me falling hard for him!
I can’t wait for the final book in this trilogy! I know we’re in for a bumpy ride and I’m excited to see how it all plays out.
Grateful to have received a complimentary ARC copy to honestly review.
A damsel in distress. A warrior with an agenda. The danger that surrounds them both. Candace and Rick are back to set hearts aflame. Jones brings the burn. Savage Burn refuses to be anything but what it is. An intriguing, edge of the seat, page turner with the thrills to back it up. Get ready to feel the fire.
Savage Burn by Lisa Renee Jones is book two in the Savage Trilogy Series. This continues the story of Candace Marks and Rick Savage, so you really need to read the previous book ‘Savage Hunger’ first before reading this one. This starts off where we left off in the previous book. Rick is still out to protect Candace and all that she loves. But he is also trying to build and replace the hurt he cause when he left her so long ago. Things are just getting thicker with the danger and working to protect Candace, but she is strong on her own right. This book doesn’t ends their story but gets us closer to their ending and working to free the threat. This is a page turning series for me and I can’t wait for the next installment.
Savage returns with a vengeance in this second book of the suspense trilogy. He has a dirty mind and a wicked tongue that he puts to tremendous use. I couldn’t have enough of his twisted words and brutal sense of humour. Exactly as I like him!
He and Candace clear up a few things, battling for an elusive trust that’s burdened with a lost past yet craves oxygen to burn with the life of their passion. Oh, my, that man can go from zero to 100 like a Ferrari 😀
I was also keenly engaged in the dangers that they, along with some Walker Security men, unearth about seriously dark and murderous connections between military and political powers.
I liked a scene where Candace is honing her defensive skills. It’s got warrior oand hot vibes, especially because Savage is so on board with her being so proactive. It is hilarious too because it ends with a ridiculously funny element. Loved it.
Moreover, I loved that they’re working shoulder to shoulder in the plans and course of action to follow against their enemies. Those started to turn increasingly frightening. Yet these two fall deeper in love with each other as they become stronger to face all evils.
Savage is quite the committed romantic despite his fierce nature. Swoon! And she is pushy to get in the melee, but it’s because threats are surrounding her like hounds. All the Walker men shine here in a community way, love that.
However, let me warn you. Cliffhanger from hell! That was killer :-O Can’t wait for the finale!!
OMGEEEE!!! That ending! LRJ kills it with Savage Burn and knows how to get you to beg for more! She is the queen of cliff hangers. The more I get deep into these books, the more I fall for Rick. Yeah I called him Rick, we are on that level now lol. Candace has become a kick *** woman. I love her determination and beauty from the inside out.
Savage Burn pick up from where we left off with Savage Hunger. There is action and a whole lot of problems happening all at once. There is a lot of betrayal and many layers that we will peel away. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, another character drops in and Rick’s past comes crashing in. I never expected more to happen!
So what is next??? Like I said the ending was EVERYTHING and more! Some hate cliff hangers, but I don’t! I need the adrenaline that it brings. I immediately want to talk about it with fellow readers and come up with ways that the trilogy will play out! Savage Burn will light you on fire!!!!
Be prepared to get sucked into more of Rick Savage and Candance’s story. Savage Burn is book 2 in the Savage Trilogy and I love what Lisa Renee Jones brings to this one. You get more of those twist and turns that are thrown Rick and Candace’s way all the while trying to figure out what the true end game is and who is calling the shots. There is still red hot chemistry between Rick and Candance going on and I love them so much. Seriously how can you not when you read this series so far. I love how everything is unfolding so far and I for one can’t wait to see where the Savage Trilogy ends up.
What a complete adrenaline rush this book was! It carried straight on from book one, Savage Hunger, and the twists and turns just made my brain hurt with the uncertainty of what’s to come! The plans and complications that pop up everywhere just kept me on my toes; so much so that I’ve written them down to keep track for book three!
Rick and the Walker Security men are all super macho heroes! I’d feel safe surrounded by these sexy creatures. There are so many forces trying to kill him and the woman who owns his soul. He is absolutely determined to do things right and save everyone in the process. I can’t see how this will happen but I never see anything coming.
Candace is obviously hurt by Rick’s disappearance of eight years and has to be shown he can now be trusted not to run again. This leads to many, many, sexy sex scenes that melted my knickers right off. *poof, gone* I love Candace and her love for Rick. I just hope she survives this latest cliff hanger.
I just love the drama and intrigue in these two books and simply can not wait for the climax of this story in the final book of the series. Is it ready yet?
I can’t get enough of Savage and Candace. The deeper their story gets the more and more I love these two characters and their history together.
Savage Burn picks up right where Savage Hunger left off, so you must read book 1 before starting this one. That being said, this story continued with crazy twists and turns, insanely hot chemistry and plenty of Savage and all his humor.
Savage and Candace continue to rebuild their relationship, get over the issues of their past and deal with the current issues they are facing. I seriously I can’t even begin to describe how much I love these two and how perfect they are for each other.
With this being the second book of a trilogy it does end on another cliffhanger and I am DYING to see what happens next and how this series ends.
Another MUST READ book from Lisa Renee Jones!
So much going on. Rick is balancing on a very thin thread trying to keep Candace and her father alive against some very skilled men, as well as keeping her away from her slime ball fiancé. And what a slime ball he is! Ugh. That man needs to go down.
He’s also trying to prove to Candace that he won’t be leaving her again, so we get a really good look into them being very honest about things. Their relationship is building that trust that they need to make it through to the end.
I love the Walker men. I love that so many are showing up to help Rick when he’s always been the one helping others. And the best part, the mention of one of my favorite anti-heroes. I really hope that means he is making an appearance in book 3.
4.5 stars–SAVAGE BURN is the second instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult SAVAGE erotic, romantic suspense trilogy focusing on former Green Beret and Walker Security specialist Rick Savage, and architect Candace Marks. The SAVAGE trilogy is a spin-off from the author’s NAKED and Dirty Rich series with the appearance of several characters from the author’s Walker Security series. SAVAGE BURN should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book one SAVAGE HUNGER.
SOME BACKGROUND: Eight years earlier Rick Savage destroyed Candace Marks’ heart when he sent a ‘Dear Candace’ letter while on assignment overseas but what Candace never knew was that Rick Savage was recruited by a covert CIA black ops unit, a unit whose former members are now in prestigious and powerful places in the US government. When a debt is called in, Rick Savage must face the inevitable including the woman whose heart he destroyed.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Rick and Candace) SAVAGE BURN follows Candace and Rick as Rick must come to terms with the threats against the woman he loves. Having stayed away for close to eight years, a debt-owed brings Rick back into Candace’s life, a debt Candace could potentially pay with her life. As Rick’s past begins to target the woman he loves, Candace must face the possibility that her life as she knew it is spiralling out of control. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Rick and Candace, and the fall-out as the number of players in the game of revenge grows exponentially as the stakes get higher and more dangerous.
SAVAGE BURN is a story of secrets and lies; sins of the past; issues of trust, power and control. We discover Candace is a pawn in a game that reaches the highest level of the US government; and Rick Savage knows that his past will do anything to destroy the woman he loves. The premise is engaging, intriguing and energetic; the romance is erotic, passionate and intense; the characters are colorful, dynamic, powerful and strong. SAVAGE BURN ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
Wow! This story keeps getting better with every book. Rick and Candace are such a great couple. Rick is a different person when he is with Candace. There are so many layers to him that we do not get so see in the books he has been in. The devotion to keeping her safe and loving her all this time is so strong. Candace seems to understand Rick on a level no one else is able to. The mystery that they are trying to uncover in regards to all that has transpired before he left her and all that is still going on has this reader on the edge of her seat from beginning to end. The chemistry between Rick and Candace is so steamy and passionate. Rick story is one of my favorite of the men who work for Walker Security and of course I enjoy the cameos of them in this book. I was so excited to discover another character from the Liliah Love series mentioned in this book and would love to see that character make an appearance in Savage Love. I am so looking forward to the final book in Savage’s story.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Savage Burn, simply put, is extraordinary reading! Murder, chaos, intrigue, suspense, danger and white hot, steamy romance. You will be glued to your seat utterly mesmerized. The Walker team is front and center lead by Savage as they try to find Candace’s father sooner rather than later even though it seems the bad guys are multiplying expotentially.
More and more of Savage’s past is catching up to him at the speed of a runaway train and he’s terrified that Candace will leave for good once she learns the whole truth. Convincing him that she’s not leaving, no matter what, becomes increasingly more difficult especially given the fact she feels Savage will walk if it means keeping her safe.
Have no fear, Lisa Renee Jones sprinkles enough of Savage’s sarcastic utterances throughout the story to keep you chuckling. Waiting until May for the last installment of this trilogy will be excruciating.
I don’t hate you, but I don’t like you very much right now. Lol!! Another cliffhanger and it’s a doozy! This is book two in the Savage series and needs to be read after Savage Hunger. These books are not standalone’s and need to be read in order. Especially, since there is a cliffhanger with both books. So now I have to wait patiently for Savage Love. This book continues right where book one ended with no hiccup. Savage and Candace, along with the Walker team are still trying to locate the General and figure out what Tag and Gabe have up their sleeves. The chemistry between Savage and Candace is hot! Plus the trust they have for one another is so amazing! Savage has learned that leaving eight years ago was the dumbest mistake he has made. He can’t live without her. He begins to wonder what he was thinking. Candace never stopped loving him. So when he starts to tell her things, the love ignites even more. This is another great book by Lisa. A definite must read.
I LOVED this book!
The book starts where Savage Hunger left off, and there are so many twists and turns …but I couldn’t put this one down!
Savage and Candace are learning to trust each other! Candace is such a strong woman, but Savage is still trying to figure out how to protect Candace and those she loves. protecting her from Gabriël (Candace’s fiancee),saving her father,and other players in the game..
And I think she will forgive him that he left her 8 years ago because she still loves him..
These two are good together and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
And now after this intense roller coaster ride, there is af big cliffhanger!
I can’t wait for the final book..
I’m excited to see how their story turn out.
Holy heck! This author is killing me!
’He’s not good or bad, right or wrong. He’s a man, flawed and perfect all at once.’
With so many twists and turns as the players in this game are jockeying for position, I couldn’t put this one down! Savage and Candace are learning to trust each other to stay, no matter what the future holds, even as they are fighting to protect those they love…all while bringing down the men who put their lives at risk.
I loved seeing this couple work through their issues, new and old. Candace is such a strong heroine and more than capable of handling a man like Savage. I respected the heck of her ability to stand up to him and demand what she wants and expects from him. There is a bit of push and pull as they go at it, but with each push they come back together all the stronger.
”I can’t be a princess in a glass tower. I have to be –”
I cup her head and kiss her before I say, “A princess by my side with a Sig in her purse?”
“Exactly,” she says. “One I know how to use.”
“Now you’re just trying to get me hot and botherd, baby.”
We not only get our tough guy Savage back again, but we see his wicked humor on display in some wonderful one liners as only Savage can provide. I kinda missed that about him in book one but then again, he was floundering a bit with making Candace accept him. Now, despite their relationship still being a tad shaky, he’s back in full force and ready to do whatever it takes to protect her.
”Fear makes me want to fight. For you. I want to fight for you and us. I want to fight every war you face with you. And you are better with me. But I am also so much better with you. Because we’re better together.”
This isn’t loaded with a lot of action but unveils itself in layer after layer of suspense as all the players take position. Of course, through it all is the undeniable chemistry and the sexual tension between Savage and Candace. These two absolutely sizzle when in the same room together.
And just as everything seems to be coming together, plans are laid out and everyone is moving into place, we get the monster of cliffhangers! Of course, I knew we would but I never saw it ending this way. And now to hurry up and wait for the final book in this trilogy!
