This is the first book in ‘Savage Trilogy’. I really enjoyed reading this book! Savage has been in other Walker Security books. His character has always showed us that he is more then what he wants people to see him as. This book shows us just who he is! I enjoyed the who and what he is. I felt the characters were well developed the back story filled in a lot of information on our hero. The heroine is just as I like them, not a bubble-head, smart, and very brave. With this trilogy you must read them in order. I’m not fond of cliffhangers, but that’s because I have no patients when it comes to waiting for the next story to come out. I love the interaction the characters have with each other, they kept me entertained and had me laughing with amusement. I look forward to reading the next in line and seeing how the author spins the story.
***I voluntarily reviewed this ARC for an honest review, this is my honest opinion and has not been influenced by the author or Publisher in anyway.*** Thank you!
I love reading this book. Savage is a badass that loves violence and kicks ass. He has a personality that I just love. He is sexy. Candace hasn’t seen him in a very long time. Is she still in love with him after leaving her? She is being force to marry a man she doesn’t want to be with and is a very brutal man. Does Savage save the day? Is their love between them still? Will have to read it to know what happens. There is a long road between them to fix their relationship if it is fixable. Highly recommend this book. Definitely won’t be disappointed. Another great read.
I could not read this book fast enough! I loved it! Been waiting for Savage’s story for a while now and am so glad it’s here. Wish it wasn’t a 3 part but I’ll take what I can get. He’s worth it. Fantastic story so far loving everything about it!
5 STARS
This was the first Lisa Renee Jones novel that I’d had the pleasure to read. I couldn’t put it down and read it in one sitting. I was intrigued by Savage and Candace’s story. I am eager to watch how their story will unfold.
A second chance romance mixed with the right amount of romantic suspense. This is the first book in the Savage Trilogy. Savage Hunger by Lisa Renee Jones is an EPIC read and will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!
Loved
Savage Hunger is a great story of love, sacrifice, passion and mystery. An instant love connection began for Rick and Candace until tragedy struck…taking Rick in a new direction and leaving Candace behind. Eight years has passed and a debt that Savage must repay takes him back to San Antonio and into Candace’s life. Someone is plotting her fathers death and Savage will do anything to protect her. Love this fast paced adventure from the beginning to the…cliffhanger!
I happened upon Lisa Renee Jones books through Audible, originally listening to The Naked Trilogy and devouring it quickly. So when I heard that Savage, one of my favorite characters was getting his own story told I could not wait! Savage Hunter did not disappoint, if anything it increased my desire for all things Savage. This story gripped me from the beginning, both with the suspense of the storyline and the heat between Savage and Candace. I am so excited to find how this story continues and if Savage and Candace can clear the numerous skeletons in their closets and if their hearts can find a way to be together, which is where they obviously belong. I cannot recommend Lisa Renee Jones’ books enough and especially any related to Rick Savage!!
Savage Savage Savage…..
I have waited so long to read your story, to get to know who are….. and Lisa Renee Jones did not disappoint.
I love the well rounded person you are. Quirky, funny, and sometimes a bit sad.
Just when you think one question has been answered, more pop up.
I laughed and cried while reading this book.
I COULD NOT put it down (Even tho I have the Flu!!)
Well done on this book. I really enjoyed the cliffhanger (I know some did not).
It really keeps us coming back for more.
Lisa Renee Jones is one of those authors I can count on always delivering an intriguing, well-written story.
I didn’t love Savage and Candace as well as some of her previous characters but that didn’t stop me from enjoying their story. Savage is every bit the macho hero that you’d expect. He’s wicked smart and educated but still ends up a mercenary at Walker Security with their group of special operatives. He’s not just a doctor, he’s a Green Beret. What I love about his though is the love he has for Candace. He’s pushy in love with her in no small part because he has complete faith that she feels the same.
Candace is also accomplished and following her dreams until her intense loyalty to her father has her in a horrible situation. Luckily, Savage is sent, for the wrong reasons, and is here to help her.
There’s a lot of left over anger from Savage’s leaving Candace which of course he only did believing it was best for her. There’s a lot of trust to be rebuilt. There is also still an incredible bond and attraction.
As always, Jones left me hanging and wanting more though! Bring on book two!
The take on Tequila right off the bat is rather amusing. What do Savage, Adam, and Smith do for a living? Who is Tag? What does he want from Savage? Why? Who is Candace? Talk about tangled webs in this book! Wowsers! I think one of the best quotes in the book is from Savage.. “They’re like gnats that multiply every time I tell them to stay out of this,” I say.” Oh good grief, talk about one heck of a cliff hanger. Now to read book 2!
RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin’ With M. Brennan.
OMG!!! This book was named Savage for a reason. Not only is it his last name but also because of the way he acts.
This book is the first in a series. I could not put it down.
And as always this author does nit disappoint in her OMG moments, steamy scenes and all around grab ahold of you from the first page till the last wanting more.
Savage Hunger is the first book in the Savage Trilogy, by Lisa Renee Jones. I won’t lie, Jones’ books are my favorite. She was the very first author I read in ebooks.
Savage has been a support character in some of the other books by Jones. This trilogy is Savage and Candace’s story.
I loved this first book and I can not wait until the other two books come out. Jones has a way of writing books that gradually suck you in and never let you go until the end. This is definitely a trilogy not to be missed.
Savage Hunger was exactly what I love, expect and need from LRJ. This book has it all…love, suspense, steamy romance and plenty of Walker Security men!! I can’t wait for the next book in this series!! I’m SO glad to finally get a peek into Savage’s world and can’t wait to see how he gets his HEA. You won’t be disappointed!!
Anyone that knows me and follows my reviews knows that I love this author. She is the queen of hot and steamy romantic suspense books that end in a cliffy and boy does this one. It is HOT, it is STEAMY, it is SUSPENSEFUL, and it ends in one BIG CLIFFY!!! This author has a way of pulling you into her stories where it makes you feel like you are right there living it with the characters. You feel what they feel, your heart breaks when theirs does, and it smiles when theirs does. I can not say how much I love Savage and his take charge attitude and I really love him with Candace and how she is his perfect equal. And I really love having the Walker Security crew involved. Their banter adds another level of perfection to this book. I can’t wait to see what happens next!!
Review by Tabitha
“Why are you here alone, Rick Savage?” He fixes me in a deep blue stare, and I swear I’m drifting in a sea of this man’s making. “To meet you. I just didn’t know it yet.”
I am SO IN LOVE WITH THIS STORY!!!!!
Rick and Candace have a soul-aching, years-spanning connection that people only dream of, and when he returns to her, the disbelief she faces, along with the fear of his eventual departure, has all of her defenses up.
But, Rick Savage came prepared this time…a changed man. A killer. Her hero with blood on his hands.
“That man destroyed me and now he’s about to take all that there is left of me, all that I care about. He can’t be here now. He will take all I have left and leave me to bleed out.”
I felt this. Every word. Every chapter. Jones has a way of doing that to me. I loved every second of it.
The funny, the dark, the heart-shattering goodbye along with the crash and burn reunion…I can only hope that the next installment gives me more of what I’m waiting for…
Action. Answers. And a very sexy Savage saving the girl he loves…as well as all involved in this tangled military black-ops web.
Until next chapter…hurry, I’m HUNGRY!
**5 Soft and Savage, Stars**
Lisa Renee Jones has done it again! This book was great! I instantly fell in love with the main characters, Rick Savage & Candace Marks. Even the supporting characters are great! Rick Savage has an edge & dangerous side to him which makes him that more attractive. As a reader, Candace pulls at your heartstrings with the emotional rollercoaster that she’s experiencing. This book was a fast read & ended on a huge cliffhanger. I can’t wait to read the second book in this series!
OMG! I could not put this down! I so need the next book asap…lol I love when a book brings you in and wraps you in both in the characters and the storyline and this book did just that. It does end in a cliffhanger which is rough but I plan on making these books part of my permanent collection!
Wow, this is more than what I thought it would be, Rick Savage and Candace’s story is one you need to read. it’s a second chance romance with a view to the past and present situations, where the romance suspense you love from Lisa Renee Jones plays into action. I need to read the next one now! I absolutely recommend you start reading this now!
Part one of three….so plan to read all three. No really. The end is right in the middle of a moment so it’s a true cliffhanger. Sigh.
Rick Savage has appeared in many of author Lisa Renee Jones’ prior books. She finally gives readers a peak at what made him who he is today. I was really looking forward to learning about Savage and I did get some of what I wanted. I thought Savage being in the Army and being a surgeon was really interesting. I really liked how his relationship with Candace got started. The author chose to show the beginning of the relationship and the end but there’s really none of the in between times. I feel like those 18 months might have been interesting to read since it shows how normal they are together while their current situation is far from normal.
I think Candace is an interesting character. I am hoping she gets the chance to grow and be strong in the next two books. I really want her to get the chance to make decisions and move the story along. I didn’t like that she forgave Savage almost right away when he showed back up in her life after 8 years. It gave me a little bit of whiplash.
I would recommend this book to anyone that already likes Lisa Renee Jones’ books. If you are not already a fan, I recommend waiting till all three books are published since even book two will have a cliffhanger.
This book drew me in I haven’t read any of the previous books but I believe the savage has been a character in other books by this author after saying that I had no problem following this story at all. The writing is tense and deep and draws you in Its one of those books where you will just read another chapter and before you know it it’s 3am and you have read the entire book but be aware this book does end on a cliffhanger so if that isn’t for you be aware.
Savage is a rough tough alpha that is until he meets the woman that brings him to his knee’s then for her he is everything soft and cuddly even though he broke her heart when he walked away from her. Now he has returned and she is engaged to another man a man that could destroy but not on savages watch Be prepared for a lot of drama you won’t want to put this one down
