Amazing sizzling romance that will keep you on your feet!
SAVAGE LOVE is the third book in the Savage Trilogy. This series must be read in the order of release. Rick and Candace’s love story is a second chance, suspense romance with plenty of intrigue, laughter, and food. If you are here, you should have already read the first two books and you know you want to read the third book – the finale to Rick and Candy’s reunion.
For Lisa Renee Jones fans there are plenty of Easter Eggs from other series to keep you smiling. For the junk-foodies, there are plenty of donuts, pizza, burgers, tacos, and Chik-fil-A; yes, I’m hungry now!
The story is non-stop suspense and plenty of hot romance. I suggest putting up the do-not-disturb sign and letting your SO take care of the rug rats for the night. Mommy will get some down time and Daddy will be rewarded later (wink, wink).
Candy is perfect for Savage and she is just who he needs. I’ve loved Savage for a long time and this trilogy was exactly the story that was meant for him. They are peanut butter and jelly.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

“Mine,” I murmur, not giving a damn how caveman I sound—”
Who doesn’t love a sexy caveman, especially one who’s called Savage? He’s badass, broken and beautiful, at least to Candace. She doesn’t care about his scars or his past. The question is, will he ever believe she can see past his past? He doesn’t feel worthy, but that doesn’t mean he’s willing to walk away . . . again.
When Rick Savage walked out of her life years ago he took her heart with him. Now he’s back, ready to protect her and remove all the obstacles standing in the way of the future they always dreamed of having together. Including her fiancé… But, can she trust him not to break her heart again? Can she live with the choices he’s made in the time they were apart? Is he still the man she remembers?
Well, I can say, he’s definitely the man her body remembers. All he has to do is walk in the room and she feels his presence. She can vouch for the fact that he’s a savage between the sheets, but can she accept the savage side of him when it comes to what he’s willing to do to protect her? Not if it means walking away from her again.
It’s been exciting and suspense-filled living in the Savage Trilogy world and I’m gonna miss these amazing characters. But, I have no doubt I’ll be seeing them again in a future book. Those badass bad boys working for Walker Security always seem to pop up and take care of business while making me laugh and sigh. Yes, I’m addicted. The line forms here…
The conclusion to this three part story is exciting, with excellent build up that continues from the first two books. The clues start coming together with hard won answers that have kept me in suspense from the start, the tangled up missions and secrets, the deaths in the past all lead up two a climatic end, but does it finish there? Honestly I found myself holding my breath more than once, how can one couple have such twisted people in their lives. I thank goodness for Blake and the rest of Walker security for support and friendship, unequivocal loyalty to both Savage and Candace, finally they have people they really need in their lives. Brilliant read.
A fantastic ending to a thrilling trilogy. Once again we go on an exciting, suspenseful, and exciting journey with Rick Savage and Candace. They go through a lot throughout this trilogy but their destination was well worth all the chaos. I absolutely loved this book.
Wow! The conclusion to this series was filled with so much action and drama! More so than I was expecting and I loved every moment of it.
This picks right up where the previous book ends and it starts with a burst of action as well as emotion. Savage is really put through his paces in this book as he struggles to solve the issues that are threatening his and Candace’s future.
Filled with so many twists and turns this kept me on my toes. The relationship between Savage and Candace solidifies as they learn to trust and rely on each other. With visits from so many characters we’ve met before, I felt like I was watching a Hollywood red carpet as all my favorites were called in to play. If ever there was a LJR character that deserved all the support, it was Savage as he has been there for everyone at some point and time.
While I’m disappointed to see this one end, I’m hoping we’ll still see Savage in the future. Personally, I’d love to see him as a father of a little girl…especially when that little girl is a tad older. I can’t help but wonder how he’d react to life’s challenges for his baby girl in the sandbox.
Highly recommending this trilogy!!!
This whole series could have been in 2 books with a good editor who would have edited out redundant dialogue and plot points. I get that there needs to be reminders when books are released over time, but I don’t read them until the series is complete, then I read them all at once. I really noticed redundancies in this series. It is a good story and lots of good romance, but really, move the relationship along.
This is the third book in the Savage Trilogy, and the conclusion to Savage, and and Candace’s tormented love story. This book continue the roller coaster of suspense, mystery, action, and plenty of twists, and turns. This was an amazing read, well written, the characters had explosive chemistry, and I love reading their story. This was intense, raw, gritty, emotional, passionate, steamy, dramatic, and captivating. I highly recommend this series. 4.5 Stars
Sizzling suspense all wrapped up in a second chance romance. Delicious!!
Savage Love is book 3 in the Savage Trilogy by Lisa Renee Jones. I love this series and I was not disappointed in this final book. I loved that Rick and Candace got to have their happy ending and most of all I loved getting all the Walker Security guys in this book. This book will take you on a roller coaster ride of suspense and intrigue but so worth the ride. I highly recommend this series!!!

“Baby, I want the world with you.”
At long last the Savage Trilogy reaches an epic conclusion in SAVAGE LOVE and Rick Savage finally reclaims his girl in a MAJOR way!
THE PREMISE:
Just for a brief recap: When former black ops operative Rick Savage returned to San Antonio’s on a lethal mission to take out Senator Gabriel Manning , his path crossed once again with the love of his life, Candace Marks, who also happened to be his target’s not so happy fiancé. He never stopped pining for her, but years of secrets and lies, heartache and regret, still stood between them. Savage knew he had much atoning to do if he wants to keep the General’s daughter safe and reclaim the woman he never stopped loving. Along the way passion reignited and danger abounded as they teamed up to right past wrongs and bring the bad guys to justice.
Now, picking up right where book two, SAVAGE BURN, left off, this final installment has Candace in mortal danger at the hands of a deranged foe seeking vengeance against Savage for his past sins. Once that threat is neutralized Rick and Candace jump right from the frying pan into the fire as they race against time to rescue her father, who has been taken hostage, and to bring down the evil Gabriel Manning and Tag for once and for all. Calling in reinforcements from the always reliable Walker clan, this unstoppable duo works tirelessly to carry out their plan to eliminate their enemies, all the while fighting valiantly to rebuild their fractured relationship. As an unapologetically ruthless assassin who NEVER claims defeat, Savage will not hesitate to annihilate any obstacles that stand in the way of a future with his beloved Candy. But when unexpected peril darkens their doorstep, will he be the last man standing?
MY MUSINGS:
The Savage Trilogy truly ends with a bang and I couldn’t be more elated! I have loved all the books in this series but omfg Lisa Renee Jones truly saved the best for last with this electrifying finale. SAVAGE LOVE had it all—swoon-worthy romance, sizzling hot encounters, blistering emotion, action, adventure, drama, humor, heartstopping intrigue, jaw dropping twists and turns…and a love that triumphs against all odds! An astonishingly crafted, steamy and suspenseful page turner from start to finish, I was positively DROWNING in the feels, reveled in the witty repartee, and was a captive audience throughout.
Candace and Savage’s second change at love story has been riddled with obstacles from day one and in this final book, Savage’s path to redemption truly comes full circle. But Candace is a woman who asks for—no, DEMANDS—full transparency and is determined to stand by her man’s side through thick and thin. And even though the thought of this stubborn hearted beauty being a casualty of this bloody war arouses this ferocious alpha male’s fiercely protective instincts, he knows that this a woman who has a backbone of steel and rivals him in grit and courage!
Gah…Savage is the quintessential Alpha caveman! “Dangerously sexy” just like the scar on his face and so primal and possessive he made my toes curl! But another thing that truly sets this formidable mercenary apart is his goofy sense of humor—his one liners are to DIE for. And sigh the way he cherishes his woman melts my heart! He’s just so big and badass–a warrior between the sheets AND on the battlefield.
“I wouldn’t just kill for this woman. I’d die for her.”
But underneath his tough, macho exterior lurks a tragic darkness inside of him . Only one woman can banish the demons. Candace. But she also bears emotional wounds of her own. And as much as she lives and breathes for this man, and knows he will move heaven and earth to keep her safe, can she live with the violent extremes he’s willing to take to get the job done? And once the danger passes can she trust him not to walk away again and leave her vulnerable heart in shambles?
There is undoubtedly still healing to do for them both but their love is ETERNAL. Savage and Candace’s chemistry is just OFF THE CHARTS– the smoldering sparks and combustible tension between them literally OOZES off the pages, and each and every one of their tantalizingly torrid love scenes leaves me all quiver! As this couple continue to be swept up in extraordinary circumstances, their all-consuming devotion ramps up in tandem with the adrenaline pumping drama! The tension is truly palpable as our MCs and their cohorts execute their daring plan which, if all goes well, will finally see justice done. But prepare for them to face some major life and death situations before all is said and done!
I also love the brotherhood of allies that Savage has in his corner—including the legendary Walkers–and there’s a memorable Lilah Love cameo that’s freaking awesome! The way LRJ seamlessly blends characters from past books into the fabric of her stories never fails to impress me.
BOTTOM LINE:
My heart was in my throat from start to finish—truly not a dull moment—and LRJ really blew us away with SAVAGE LOVE, delivering an unforgettable grand finale that delights on every level. And while parting with these extraordinary characters is such sweet sorrow, I could not be more thrilled with the conclusion of Candace and Savage’s tempestuous love story. (Sob! This couple’s hard-fought HEA was beyond beautiful!) But considering how LRJ’s characters typically pop up in future books, I know it’s just farewell…for now! Can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next…
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Those of you finding this series right now, like today, are lucky because you can binge all three books are not, but you don’t have to wait if you don’t want to. I decided to read these instalments as they published. Although I enjoyed the heck out of the journey of Rick and Candace, the wait was torture!! Lesson learned … maybe. *shrug*
When I read the first book in this trilogy, one of the things I wrote in my review was “holy balls, I am so glad we get a break ! Trilogies for the #win!”. No one ever thinks that when they read duets or trilogies but with this one, it was necessary to take the break. Plus it was only a few months between the releases so no biggie. However, the holy balls momentum from book one died in book two. Savage Burn was one of those books that just happened. At least it was for me. And now here come Savage Love and we are off and running again! SO when I look at the three books side by side, they play out exactly as a one book story would. There’s a build, then some story with a conflict, and then we’re moving to the finish line. Well done!
Savage Love picks up right were we left off and the author recaps at the beginning for us, so you get a quick refresher. Another great point for her! LOL There are more twist in this part of the story for you to keep track of so pay attention lol This author is one of the best at romantic suspense that I have ever read. She is glorious with the passion and intensity of her stories and also keeps you on your toes with the plot points. It is always an intense ride overall with one of her stories and this was no different!
Savage and Candace’s story was amazing, this is the end of the story and I absolutely loved it and wished for more, I definitely recommend this trilogy, it was fantastic to read and having to wait with the cliffhangers, it certainly gave it a special appeal. The drama, angst, and everything in between the pages will grab you and have you on edge until the end, if you are binge-reading the whole trilogy you are lucky, those cliffs got me bad, perfect conclusion to the phenomenal trilogy. Super 5 star reading!
Rick and Candace are going through hell to get her father out of trouble. Their relationship has grown stronger and nothing will stop them. The last book in this couple’s story is explosive and full of adventure.
Savage Love by Lisa Renee Jones is the third and final book in her Savage Trilogy . Picking up where book two left off, right in the middle of some graveyard drama, this book was full of action and intrigue and twists and plots. Danger lurks around every corner, anyone could be a hitman out to get you, and even your own family members may not be able to be trusted. The connection between Candace and Rick grows stronger with each hurdle they overcome and, thankfully, by the end of their story, they have made it to a great place where they both are clear on what the other person is, what they expect, and what they have to offer. Steamy, ripe with danger, loved it! Enjoy!
WOW!!!!! This is the perfect end to this trilogy and I can’t say enough good things about it. Savage has always been my favourite character in books by this author and I just love him even more now, add in a few familiar faces from other books and this is the perfect ending to Savage & Candace’s story. This book is face paced, lots of OMG moments and that red hot chemistry between these two. Thanks for making my favourite character into the perfect series Lisa Rene Jones
Wow wow wow what a conclusion!!! Savage and Candace finally get their HEA but it wasn’t easy. The secrets that were revealed and the web of everything grabs you until the very ending. It also shows how strong and dynamic Savage and Candace are; she’s much a baddie like he is. What surprised me and I enjoyed was one of Savage close friends, a dynamic duo from another story who I also love. The events that happened had me like yikes how are they going to get out of this and omg what will happen next. But Savage always found a way and he also had friends that had his back.
What an incredible ending for this trilogy! The Queen of Romantic Suspense brings angst and twists at every turn. Savage and Candace are perfect! If you had not fallen head over heals in love with Savage prior to this trilogy, there is no escaping it now. Rick Savage is all alpha, protective, loyal, funny, sweet, swoony, fierce, and deadly if needed. And Candice is the most incredible person for him. Their connection is soul deep and the chemistry is beyond hot!!! The bad guys are really bad and it takes the help of the unbelievably hot, smart, fun & loyal Walker Security Team and the fun twist of Lilah Love and Kane Mendez to help Savage and Candice. You will love the intensity and character interactions. This will easily be your next 1 click!!!
Adored this emotionally thrilling and action packed finish for this exciting and engaging couple. This adventure is jam packed with exciting charters, witty dialog and heart racing twists. Highly entertaining edge of your seat journey!
It is bittersweet for this series to come to an end but what an ending it was!! I was sad to see Rick and Candace’s story coming to a conclusion. This was a thrilling, high-octane ending and I really enjoyed this addicting addition to the series! It was a real nail biter throughout. I can’t wait for to see what this author has in store for us next!!
