Love Savage Lisa has a winner with this one I loved this series although have to say I love all her books and this was worth the wait
So hard to put down!! Loved this book and cannot wait for the next!!
I am still having the effects of finishing Savage Hunger. This is a powerful insight to the man that quite honestly surprised me on many occasions.
Rick Savage is a ex- mercenary now working for Walker Security, when his past all but comes back and slaps him upside his head. There are things and people Savage left in his past for a reason and that reason brought him home to face his past, present and future. After getting to know Savage a bit in the Naked Trilogy he has my attention, now I get his story and I cant wait.
Candace is a heroine that has a ton of strength and passion, she had loved and lost and now her past is about to explode back into her life. Can she find the answers to the questions she has had for over eight years? Candace is a total shock for me I must say, but in a good way. I feel her inner battle about Rick and their past. I am interested in how she deals with what to come.
First of Thank you to Lisa Renee Jones for Savage and Candace they are phenomenal on their own but together they are down right explosive. Rick is back and just that fact has Candace trying to keep her walls up around her heart. Savage feels the connection that he and Candace share, but when the truth about why he came home is out will there be a chance for them? I was in awe with these characters, both are strong and commanding. They kept me wanting to know the answers to their past.
Supporting characters are intense. Walker Security guys are a bit of fun in that they give Savage a hard time, which in turn makes Savage a more approachable hero. The plot too Savage Hunger has an interesting twist that has me on the edge waiting for the next installment. Will Savage and Candace get the answers they seek? What part will their past play in their future? Time will tell.
Rated 5 Stilettos and a Recommended Read by Deb!
I couldn’t wait to read Savage’s story. Lisa didn’t disappoint and I can’t wait for the next book!
What an amazing start to what looks to be an intriguing series. Rick Savage, aka Savage, is a military man who trained as a surgeon following in his father’s footsteps but that is where the similarity ends. Candace is the daughter of a general who Savage fell for eight years ago but their relationship was short lived. However, present times call for desperate measures that take Savage back to the one place that he would love to forget San Antonio, Texas where everything fell apart. Upon his arrival, as an oath is an oath, he learns that his one and only love, Candace, is engaged to another man, Gabriel, who has presidential aspirations. Over Savage’s dead body will Candace marry another if he can help it. There are plots afoot and protection needed which bring Savage’s co-workers from Walker Security, much to his chagrin. Is Candace willing to put herself back in a situation that may very well cause her heart to break again? Can Savage open up and let Candace in or will he continue to push her away? How long can Candace keep playing the doting fiancée? This is one powerful storyline with drama, betrayal, action and a possible chance at rekindling a lost romance. It ends in a cliffhanger but you do not want to miss this one. I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.
Lisa Renee Jones does it again! Fabulous, exciting storyline and characters. We finally learn about Rick Savage and WOW! so glad she is writing his story! He has appeared in many of her other books but is the headliner here. Definitely worth the read!
Loved this book, great read. I love Savage’s character.
FINALLY, us serious Lisa Renee Jones fans get to find out what makes Rick Savage tick! In the SAVAGE TRILOGY, the sarcastic, deadly, hulk of a security operative shows his soft center, one that’s only exposed when he’s back in the life of the only woman he’s ever loved, Candace Marks, a General’s daughter and architect who’s engaged to a dangerous politician, hell bent on becoming the President of the United States.
If you’ve read many of LRJ’s books, you’ve most likely come across the funny, intelligent, Walker Security brute that is Rick Savage. I have to say that I’ve been dying to find out what makes Savage Savage since the first time I read about him. Learning of the love he left behind, for her own protection, explains so much. Candace is his match in every way. She’s tough, smart and beautiful and is the only one who can keep Savage in line. It takes the two of them working closely with Savage’s Walker Security brothers to unravel and counter the plot Candace’s fiancé has hatched to become president while dealing with Savage’s old boss’ plot to have the fiancé killed.
All in all, this trilogy is a FANTASTIC read. Steel yourself for the cliffhangers at the end of the first two books but know that the wait for the next book is so worth it!
Love it!
Savage is a beast if a man and didn’t earn his ‘name’ lightly!
A great read, can’t wait for the next one – would definitely recommend
Savage Hunger by Lisa Renee Jones is the first book in her brand new Savage Trilogy. Told in dual POV between Rick and Candace, this story builds the backstory of Rick and Candace, the earlier years and provides details on his past with his own father and hers. The back and forth between these two is hot. It’s a second chance for them both but there is so much history that it is hard for Candace to see past the pain he caused back then by leaving, and hard for Rick to make himself okay with being back in her life. He left to protect her and he has since learned that she may have been safer all along if he had stuck around and that’s a painful pill for him to swallow. Ending on a cliff-hanger this story is building up to be a doozy of intrigue and underhandedness and betrayal along with the wicked chemistry between these two main characters. Enjoy!
Readers get ready for Lisa Renee Jones has a new juicy and suspensefull new series starting with Rick Savage. As an ex operative he knows his way around danger but when it comes to those he love he will fight to the death to make sure they’re safe. Now this is not just Rick we see but Lisa Renee Jones brings us some of the Walker Security men and boy are they still hot and funny as ever. Candace is one tough cookie, perfect for Rick in every way. These two may think their love is gone but you can see right away from their one kiss together again love is still there and stronger. Loved it. Cannot wait for the next one in this series.
“I received an eBook copy from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own.”
I’ve been waiting for Savage’s story (aka Rick to no-one but his lost love!!) since we first me him in the Walker Security books, so much so that I binge read Savage Hunger in less than a day!!
I’ve said it before and I’m positive I’m likely to say it again in the near future but Lisa Renee Jones kills me with these cliff-hangers….. ultimately in the best way, even if I do want to toss my kindle at a wall in frustration until I’ve calmed down!!
This first book in the trilogy was a bit of a deep dive into Savage and Candace’s history, their present day connection to Rick’s current ‘job’ and an insight into just how good this pair can/could be together.
LRJ does dislikable characters well, take for example Candace’s fiancé who I want to hit – or even better, I want Savage to hit… and never stop…. – but of course, that wouldn’t help anyone and the douche will therefore have a stay of execution until we can figure out WTF he’s up to and involved in…. (sorry, got a little red mist in y eyes there…) and who all the players are and, most importantly, what the endgame is!?!
This book was packed with action, suspense, twists, anticipation, heat and steam, just what you’d expect from one of my favourite, go-to authors…..
I’m (not so) patiently waiting for Savage Burn, book two in the series, to find out what the hell is happening….
5 savagely deserved stars for this gripping read.
The first thing I have to say is that I love Savage. He is broken and hurting throughout this story that you want to hug him and kiss him.
Candance is the total opposite of Savage. She is everything that he needs. For everything wrong that he is, she is everything good. These two have a history of hurting, but when they come together, it is fireworks that burn brightly.
The secondary characters are funny, honorable, and wicked in their own way — a great group of guys.
I have to say though that I went down a star because I did get tired of hearing how he left her, and she was hurting. After a while, it got old. Other than the repetitive complaints from Candance and the constant apologies from Savage, the book is excellent.
