“He’ll hurt me, I think. Broken people hurt other people, but I can’t seem to care. It’s not like I’m going to fall in love. I’m just going to fall into him for one night.”
Finally, I got to spend a little quality time with Rick Savage…sigh. I met him already, in another amazing story penned by the author, and it was love at first sarcastic comeback. He had me giggling and needing to know his secrets. I’ve also been dying to meet the woman that can handle the savage that I knew he would be in the bedroom before I actually got to read about it. Yeah, he did make that big of a first impression on me.
I knew he’d be broken. I’m drawn to characters that are damaged, I can’t resist seeing their broken pieces put back together when they find the right person. It’s somehow more satisfying when they have to work so hard for it. Don’t you think? But don’t assume he’s weak because of it. Nope, Savage is what they call him in spite of it being his last name, because it fits him. He lives up to it. Even when he’s with her.
She’s seen the softer side of him like nobody else. She thought he loved her. She thought they were forever. Until she got the letter that started with Dear… Yup, one of those. Her name’s not John, but the result was the same. He walked out of her life taking her heart with him. I can’t blame her for feeling the way she does. “I will always love him as much as I hate him.”
I wish I could tell you what happens, cuz it’s awesome! Here are the CliffsNotes: He shows up again after years and the sparks are still flying between them. She’s pissed and doesn’t want anything to do with him. But, her heart and her body still like him, so she tells those traitors to shut up. They don’t listen. It only gets better from there. I can’t wait for Savage Burn! The line forms here…
Savage Hunger by Author Lisa Renee Jones
Well, Lisa Renee Jones has done it I’m definitely hooked on this series. I love the wonderful characters Rick Savage and Candace Marks. Definitely coming back to read more. 5 Intense Stars for this one, for sure. Thank you Author Lisa Renee Jones for the adventure with these two characters.
What an awesome end to the trilogy! There was tons of steam and action with such great twists! Lots of danger and fantastic romance.
Savage Hunger is the first book in the Savage Trilogy. It seems like I have waited a long time to get more of Rick Savage aka Savage by everyone but Candace Marks. Candace called him Rick.
This is a second chance romance. Almost 10 years earlier they had almost gotten married but something happens that has him leave and he becomes a mercenary.
This is a spin off for anyone interested. Checkout the Naked Trilogy for more of his story. Although, he is a secondary character in the Naked Trilogy.
Savage is back and he plans on seeing Candace after the way he left. Will he be welcomed? I let you read that for yourself!
Savage Hunger leaves on a cliffie! But then I knew it would. After-all this is a trilogy. Savage Burn the second book is coming February 25th. 5 STARS for Savage Hunger. You just can’t get enough of Rick Savage!!!
Oh Ms. Jones! You have yet again grabbed me by the proverbial hand and pulled me into a fantastic world you have created!
A world of intrigue, mystery and hella amount of heat!
Rick Savage, a character I have held a flame for since being introduced in past books, has his own series and it starts off amazingly!
A past that he has tried to stay clear of and a woman who has haunted him for years call him home. I love the growly, possessive side of Savage, I also love to see his vulnerability and his heart! You can understand his reasoning for leaving when he did but I also wanted to shake him and say “WHY?!?” I love his humor and his witty comebacks and his non-sensical sayings!
Candance is a bit of an enigma so far. With this first story in the trilogy, we meet her fully and see how Savage has left her heartbroken and a changed woman. She is fierce in her loyalty to the ones that she loves and she will do anything and everything to help them.
As always, Ms. Jones is the queen of cliffhangers and this story is no exception, she will leave the readers gasping and asking when is the next story coming!
Savage Hunger by Lisa Renee Jones is a fiery, steamy and emotional romance set in the deceptive and dangerous world of politics and military. It has all my favorite things with the extra edge. Alpha man with broken soul. A strong and sassy woman who can make him bend his knees and also heal him. An intricate and intriguing fast paced story line that kept me glued to the pages. And all these came together beautifully by her brilliant writing.
Rick Savage considers himself damned to hell. He was a mercenary and now he works for Walker Security. But a favor owed from his dark past has brought him to San Antonio. The place where he had the best time of his life with the only woman he ever loved and whose heart he broke brutally. But Candace is in some grave danger. And nothing would stop Savage from protecting her even if she is engaged to a vile man and does not trust him.
Rick Savage is THE alpha man. He lived life dangerously and he did some questionable things. But he is a good man under all the scar, darkness and guilt. And he is oh so sexy and charming. I mean he is arrogant, infuriating , dominating, uber confident and gets what he wants. But his brand of caring and protection is magnetically attractive and arousing. And I cheered for Candace as she did not take it easy on him and make him grovel. She is an amazing woman. She has so many troubles in her life and she is facing them bravely. And giving Rick second chance is the bravest thing she is doing. Their love is once-in-a-lifetime, out of the world, sould deep and special kind. Eight years did nothing to lessen their emotions and passions. Lisa Renee Jones made me feel every single intense feelings. The chemistry is scorching hot. The storyline made me dizzy with twists and turns. And that ending stopped my heart.
Savage Hunger by Lisa Renee Jones is a heartbreaking, adrenaline filled, fierce and thrilling love story. There was never a dull moment. And I want more!
Received ARC for Honest review
He’s a dangerous man. She’s his greatest weakness. When danger calls, he’s up to the challenge. Shadows haunt them. Intensity surrounds them and treachery lies in wait. Will there be a happily ever after? Savage Hunger is the start to a captivating thrill ride that will leave hearts wanting more.
Woah,
I have no idea where to start with this. This isn’t my first read by Lisa Renee Jones, I am quite a fan, and I remember Savage being mentioned in her earlier series of books. He made a lasting impression, to begin with, so I was excited when I heard he was getting his trilogy and what an epic start to the series it was!
Without giving much away… In Book One of the Savage trilogy, you have Candace Marks and Rick Savage. These two met years beforehand when they were younger and the beginning their attraction and connection to one another were on a high. The chemistry between these two was made apparent from the beginning. Candance couldn’t help but fall in love with Rick But the thing is… He was in a different place for her. His world was dark… And the last thing he wanted to do was bring the woman he loved down into that darkness. So he walks out of her life and leaves her with a letter… Fast forward 8 years and he comes barreling back into her life, he’s made the changes in his life he needed to, to be everything that this girl deserved. But it’s never really that simple, is it?
He is working for Walker security… And just when he thinks his life is where it should be and he is where he should be… A ghost from his past comes back and it takes him back to the very place he was trying to climb out of.
I couldn’t help but love Rick but there is a reason why he is called Savage and it’s not just because of his last name…
The love Candance had for this man was epic… She loved him and hated him all in one. When he first walks out of her life… She knew she would never be the same again…
Will Rick finally be enough for this woman? Or is it too late? Has she moved on and left him in the past after he left 8 years ago?
There was so much depth to this story. So much history. It went from past to present and the author wrote that flawlessly. I couldn’t get enough!
I absolutely loved this. The suspense, the mystery, the darkness and of course the romance. Mix it all together then you get a masterpiece like this and a start to what promises to be an awesome trilogy!
Bring on book two!
5 Stars
Holy crap! Savage is wow. This book pulled me in immediately. Mrs. Jones has a way with words that just makes you fall for her characters. Rick Savage is my new book boyfriend and I will gladly fight for him. I wanted to be Candance when Savage showed back up in her life and it wasn’t the greatest place for her. Bravo LRJ I can’t wait for the next book.
As usual Lisa Renee Jones delivers the perfect story, the book kept me at the edge of my seat, I can’t wait to see what comes next!
I so love Lisa Renee Jones’ romantic suspense!
*Great start to the trilogy
*Delicious
*Off the charts chemistry
*Hot
*Savage in so many good ways
*Gritty Characters
*Second Chance
Ends with a Cliff Hanger. I can’t wait for the next book.
This is my first taste of this author and my was it yummy. Rick Savage is to die for.
He may be Military, he may be a crack shot security officer but his relationship with Candace brings out a whole other side to this hot Alpha.
The back story and chemistry between these 2 is off the charts.
Told from a Dual POV we find out how something that felt so right went so wrong. And what it’ll take to make it right again.
I’m so glad I don’t have to wait too long to find out what happens. I need more Rick pronto
Wow! What a grab you and drag you in . . . story. One that leaves you reeling for more of the characters, the storyline, the life that she has penned to paper.
Candance loved a Savaged man years ago, but we know love doesn’t always keep us together. Yet, time brings about a chance to right the wrongs. The start of their second time around is filled with the bare realities of Lisa Renee Jone’s voice.
I am so excited to see where she goes with this couple but you can rest assured I am along for the ride. And you should be as well.
Savage Hunger is the first book by this author that I have read, and I am hooked! I loved reading this second chance story of Savage and Candance. I look forward to reading book 2 Savage Burn.
Oh, Savage!!
I’ve been waiting patiently for your story. I knew something from your past has made you into the hard man that you are, but….
Definitely a great start to his story and I can’t wait for the next book.
Savage Hunger is the first book in this trilogy and my first encounter into this world. As I have discovered, Rick Savage appeared in some of the author’s books already and this baby right here is, finally his story.
Savage is like his name suggests. He is ruthless, smart ass and says inappropriate things at the wrong time. But, he is fiercely loyal to those he respects and loves. After her mother’s death, Candace has been wary of getting into relationship with any military man. Only Savage has been the one to chip away her walls and made her believe that it could work. But when Savage went on deployment, things got hazy and eventually, led to their bitter break up. Fast forward, an oath between mercenary that Savage couldn’t break, forced him to come back to his hometown and learned the biggest surprise of all.
This story is told in dual POV with flashbacks from the past to explain certain event. There was drama and angst as both characters both dealt with the real reason for their break up and the imminent threat to their lives. The push and pull between characters was explosive and electric. There’s no denying that they are still not over with each other even almost a decade apart. The story ends in a cliffy and the suspense is killing me, LOL! Can’t wait for the next installment!
Savage Hunger is book 1 in the Savage Trilogy by Lisa Renee Jones. This is a romantic suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This author is the queen of suspense and she doesn’t disappoint with this one. It does end in a cliffhanger but what a wild ride! Can’t wait for the next book!
This is the first book in the Savage Trilogy, and the story of Rick (Savage), and Candace. Once madly in love, Candace, and Savage, had a happy relationship. When it ended unexpectedly, it left Candace with a broken heart. Now many years later, Candace has moved on, and is planning on marrying another man. When Savage returns, she vow to never let him break her heart again, but she still loves him, but also hates him for hurting her. When they are together, the chemistry is explosive, and the passion hard to deny. This was an great read, the characters are captivating, and are well written. This book is emotional, passionate, steamy, intense, dramatic, and suspenseful. This is a must read! I can’t wait to read book two.
Oh we have been loving on Savage for such a long time and finally it’s time for his own book!!! And just like him, this story is complex, but gives us a look into why Savage has become the way he is now. We get a glimpse of what life was like early on for Savage with the love of his life, Candace, and how eventually, he left completely broken hearted. Just like always I couldn’t get enough of Savage and I couldn’t wait to learn more about Candace. I’m so excited for the rest of the Trilogy after that cliff hanger!!!!!
Action packed, emotional thrill ride filled with engaging charters, witty banter, heart racing twists, exciting turns and undeniable smoking hot passion….. was a excellent read and highly entertaining way to spend my evening. Really loved this adventure!
