Twenty-two and only loved one man, Trista left the Savage Beasts and Arizona to start over. Knowing the man she loved would never return those feelings, she could be his plaything, nothing more. She should be living life free and single in the City of Angels. What she shouldn’t be doing is craving the touch of the man she left behind. Sergeant-at-Arms for the Savage Beast MC has its perks: guns, … has its perks: guns, ammo, and women. Taz loves spending his time with all three, liberally.
At forty-four-years-old, he never thought he wanted to settle down. Not even when a little spitfire worms her way into his bed and his heart. As his MC brother’s daughter, she should be untouchable—but he craves to touch her.
Two hearts fighting. Two hearts resisting the love they deserve. Neither innocent. Both craving one another’s touch. Both unable to resist.
Two people who are separated by over twenty years and lifetimes of pain and memories, yet when they are together, nothing can keep them apart, not even their own good sense.

I love MC stories so I scooped this one right up. Taz and Tristas age gap is enough to keep him from giving her what she wants and I was happy when she finally left to forge her own path only to be drawn back in when drama ensues and back in the rollercoaster that is Taz. I really liked Trista but Taz was another subject for me, I ended up liking during the end but I couldn’t justify certain actions of his and it really irked me
MC romances are my guilty pleasure when it comes to reading and add in an age-gap story and I am all over it! Though Untouch Me is the fifth book in the series, it was the first one I read and I did not feel lost, though I am now excited to go back and read more. Trista is only 21 and has loved only one man. But that man is 44 and does not think he deserves her, so he pushes her away. But when she finally leaves, neither is happy.
When the club is threatened, Trista needs to go back to be safe, but can she stay away from Taz? She wants more than he is willing to give, but this time around Taz knows he wants to keep her, but can he give her what she wants? Trista is strong and caring but has not had an easy life. Taz is determined and set in his ways, but he wants Trista. Can they make it work?

Happy reading!
This is the 5th book in this addictive series and I was happy to finally get to know more about Taz and Trista.
Trista has grown up being the clubs Princess, raised by her Uncle she has been around brought up around the Savage Beasts and has been in love with the clubs Sergeant-at-arms Taz. After 3 years of hooking up with him she decides to move on as she wants more and can’t stay around watching him with others.
When danger hits the club Taz comes to LA to bring Trista back, to keep her safe! Trista is no longer the girl he used to know. She is stronger and knows what she wants and that’s Taz. I loved her strength but I guess I would have liked her to be slightly stronger and not given in to Taz’s charms lol but I understand it.
As always with Hayley’s books she brings her MC drama, lots of action, drama and steam making you not want to put it down once you start. I can’t wait to see what she brings us next.
I really enjoyed reading this book.
The plot was very well written and held my attention.
The characters had loads of chemistry.
Lots of MC action and adventure.
I would recommend this book to others.

This is a raw, gripping, MC romance that will have you rooting for them, gunning for them, happy for them, sad for them, all the while falling in love with them, if you’re anything like me that is!
We have Taz, stuck in his ways, biker for life, not knowing any other life, and thinking everything is just fine. We have Trista, sweet Trista, born into the life, having learned a lot of hard lessons, yet still oh so sweet. They’re combustible, they’re fiery, they’re hot and heavy and everything in between. The story had me hooked, wanting to know who they are, why they are how they are, and what, if anything might possibly make them change, change for themselves, change for the better, change for one another.
Twists and turns galore had me on the edge of my seat as I held on for life on this emotional rollercoaster ride! There’s a lot of anger, of hurt, of angst, of pain in this book, but it really hits you in the feels, and is incredibly well done.
So, if you’re looking for some dirty, filthy, shmekshay biker loving, look no further than this latest instalment in a fascinating series!
After the love Trista has for Taz (Sergeant-at-Arms) not being reciprocated she leaves the Savage Beasts MC in Arizona for the free life in Los Angeles. There she meets roommate and friend Avah who shows her another lifestyle outside the MC that Trista loves, but unfortunaly she dosen’t stay long before Taz and her father Hawk comes to collect and protect her from soon-to-be drama with the MC. After returning home to Arizona she now has to face her feelings for Taz and finally make a decision on their relationship with or without her fathers approval. Taz is 22 years her senior and througout this book he had me angry, swooning, wanting to slap him and kiss him all at the same time. He was like the definition of alpha a-hole and I loved every minute of it. This book moved at a very good pace and even without reading any of the previous books in the series was able to keep up with the storyline. One of my favorite things was the shocker at the end of the book because throughout I never had an inkling that that’s was going to happen. The secondary character’s were so interesting that Hayley has now made me add the previous books to my To-Be-Read list and I’m hoping to get a book on the characters Mamba, Maria, and Gator (If you’ve read previous book know they are the threesome in the series). Overall this was a very good read and I look forward to more book from this author.
UnTouch Me is the fifth book in the Savage Beast MC series but can easily be read and enjoyed as a standalone.
Going in you know there will be past events eluded to that, unless you’ve read the series, you won’t understand. Despite this the author manages to bring the reader up to date quickly with the club’s current issues.
What really attracted me to this book was the ‘age gap’ between Taz and Trista. I enjoy MC books but find them somewhat formulaic so need something else to really grab my attention.
In UnTouch Me you’ll get everything you expect from an MC novel and I’ve got to say it’s hot, hot, hot!!!
Taz and Trista are a strange combination but given the opportunity, Trista is able to convince Taz to fight for their happily ever after.
As a Hayley Faiman virgin, this novel has given me a new author to explore and that’s never a bad thing!

I’ve enjoyed the series and the plot lines of each book so far but I haven’t really like the alpha men that much. Taz isn’t that much different. I really disliked him for most of the book and honestly towards the end, I still only slightly tolerated him. It really annoyed me that he kept saying that he might sleep around but Trista could not do the same.
His inner turmoil is all about how he’s 44 years old and how he can’t steal Trista’s future since she’s only 22. I get it, he’s never had a commitment. But come one, his emotional matureness is less than Trista’s.
Other than that, I really enjoyed this book. I finished it in one day and even though I’m not a fan of Taz, I really wanted to see how Trista’s story ended. I’d been hoping we got Trista’s story since book one and I was really happy that we got it so quickly!
I really like how the stories from the other books actually continue here and we can see their POV’s again if it is important. And I really really really enjoyed that there was no cheating in this book. That has been the one constant in most books in the series that I really have not liked.
*I kept spoiling the book so it’s a really choppy review*
This is my first book by this author.
It simply cannot be the last.
Ms. Hayley Faiman does not pull her punches.
Her characters are flawed and quite frankly unlikable. But they hook you in, throw you around a bit and toss you out but somewhere along the way you grow attached.
She did that. She hooked me. And now..I’m bereft.
Until I pick up one of her other books.
You win, Ms. Faiman. You win.

This is the 5th book in this amazing series and is Taz and Trista’s story. Trista is the daughter of one of the MC brothers and she has loved Sergeant-at-arms Taz for years. Deciding she has had enough Trista leaves the MC behind to move on in Arizona. When danger comes knocking at the club Taz comes to fetch her and take her back home, but she is no longer the girl that left, she is much stronger and knows what she wants. This is a well written flawless story which is dark, raw, gritty, and with loyalty and love which all had me totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. This is not a story for the feint-at-heart! I cannot wait to read more from this gifted author.
I love the Savage Beast series by Hayley Faiman. To me they are what an MC story should be. A little dark, a little twisted, strong alpha males, and heroines who have grit and backbone. Taz is the Sgt at Arms for the Beasts. Trista is a club princess, daughter of a brother. Taz is the definition of a player. He doesn’t want ties, he’s only looking for a good time. Trista has been infatuated with Taz for years, growing from a childhood crush to stronger adult feelings. When he breaks her heart she leaves the club and the state for a fresh start. When her life is in danger and Taz comes to bring her home sparks fly! Getting her to trust his feelings for her is not easy but it sure was fun to read about.

This is my first book by Hayley Faiman and as it is the 5th book in the Savage Beast MC series I can into it a little “blind”. I didn’t actually mind that so much. As with a lot of series this one left some things hanging at the end of it. Not for the couple that the story was about really but other things happening. So you definitely want to know more which is good for the series as you will jump to read the next one , ASAP.
I did find myself curious and so therefore I will probably being going back now and reading the previous books to find out if all the guys are A’holes like Taz is. I found myself not liking him very much in the beginning and not wanting him to be with Trista. He did eventually grow on me. I guess insecurities can make you act and say things a certain way but it doesn’t mean you can’t work hard to adapt and want things to be different.
I loved so much how alpha Trista could be but she also had the “submissive” side that was there only because she wanted it to be. She held her own with Taz and as a club kid she understands completely how things work in the MC.
Love sometimes equals weakness in people’s eyes but if you can learn that it truly is a strength it makes the world so much better and your relationship takes on a whole new look. It shows you that its worth fighting for.

What’s this book about? (I’m trying to give as little spoilers as possible)
At 22, Trista leaves Arizona for a new and improved life away from the toxic man who won’t return her efforts and feelings. In the City of Angels, she still craves that man though. She should be safe, away from the dangers of her previous life. But she’s not. Her past is catching up to her.
This is my first Hayley Faiman read. This is book five of the Savage Beast MC series, but it can be read as a standalone. I don’t frequent MC series, just fyi, but the beginning of this story was promising. This was a fast read for me with lots of drama and emotion. The lead characters’ chemistry was off the chains and their back and forth was glorious. Both had issues, but I empathized more for Trista. I didn’t like how Taz treated her most of the book. I did like Trista and her new friendship in LA, but she turned into an LA cliché girl really quick LOL and I didn’t know how I felt about that. AT LEAST, she did her and she didn’t live by her past’s rules. I warmed up to her quickly and I rooted for her to find her happiness. Which basically means I was urging Taz to come to his senses. EYE ROLL.
The characters, all of them – lead and side characters, go through immense developments and they realize a couple of things that bring them forward. The steam in this story was ever-present and scorching hot. Side note: Is Avah getting her own lil’ ol’ love story? Because, cough cough, I’d be curious to read that LOL.
I recommend this read to MC lovers, age gap suckers and admirers of strong leading girls that sail out to make it on their own.
5 Stars
I don’t think Hayley Faiman can write a book that isn’t fantastic! The Savage Beasts are just what their name implies. Taz is a man who is as rough around the edges as it gets and will never be lead around by a woman m. He does what he wants, when he wants with whomever he wants. Trista is innocent by MC standards, with a twisted upbringing and backstory, she is a sort of princess in the club, and about 20 years younger than Taz. Put them together and fireworks happen, but of course things don’t go the way Trista hopes and she heads out to live in LA. What follows is a story of a club protecting their own, a man’s struggle with himself and what he truly wants and needs out of life, and a woman’s ability to be someone she can live with, all while fighting enemies they know and don’t. I am looking forward to more from the Beasts!
Cara – Alphas Do It Better Book Blog
The Savage MC is back – so you know that that means, we have the alpha, possessive, slow to commit rough and tumble MC man and a HEAPS of heat as our characters work through the tangles of their baggage the MC life.
In this 5th installment, we have the romance of Trista and Taz. Trista is the princess of the MC, with a painful history but at 22 has a life full of promise. Sergeant in Arms, Taz, is more than twice her age- but even less relationship experience and a ton of commitment issues. The story jumps in right away-she’s in love with him, and she wants to be more to him than a body. He hurts her, she leaves, and we flash forward- which is where the meat of our story occurs as the usual MC danger means Tris is at risk and thus she and Taz are once again orbiting each other. The heat between them hasn’t changed, but Tris has more life experience now and with some distance is unwilling to harm her heart again- so new walls have been erected.
I’ll admit- I didn’t love Taz for a good 50%. He’s tied to his freedom, I get it, but his hardheadedness and immaturity (esp for a 44 year old man) made his coldness and dismissal harder for me to swallow, especially because these characters were really so perfectly matched despite their age differences. Plus that alpha double standard was here- she can’t be touched by another but he can sleep around. But, one we got the possessive, more vulnerable and more committed Taz (or Ridge), he was super delicious. Hailey starts to help us see his inner workings- why he’s resistant, and its more than just him wanting to screw a lot of girls. When we get to know him, I loved him. Dirty mouth, controlling but not too much so, protective, and honest. I loved Tris- she’s mature for her age, stoic, the right mix of submissive (mostly when it comes to the bedroom, MC stuff- ie not putting herself in stupid danger just because) but also bold and firm in her standards. She’s sweet, yet sassy.
They have SCORCHING chemistry. And Hailey is the queen of creating sensual, dirty, yet meaningful steamy scenes between our characters- in line with who they are (they are bikers!) but that also somehow feels tender and caring. The push-pull dynamic did grate on me, however, – the cycle of push away, drawn back together, realize it won’t work, push away again got a bit repetitive. But, that’s the point of this story- I get it. About halfway we have some conclusions and a relational shift- yay, progress! But, then the stubborn one becomes Tris- and we’re stuck in a whole other cycle, shifted to “can he ever stay committed” from the “will he commit” push-pull. I wanted them together at that point, so I was more bought into that cycle, but again, felt like the same conversation multiple times, which made the pace feel static in places, even as MC business swirled around them. Fortunately, we get some momentum, and then I was really sucked in.
Some of the key aspects of our characters’ painful histories are really glossed over during this cycle as well- we know some f’ed up stuff happened with Tris and her mom. Taz reveals some stuff as well- but outside of these experiences being hurled in heated moments to justify their behaviors, we don’t really get to unpack how these pivotal moments have shaped them- which feels like a bit of a miss in terms of KNOWING these characters outside of their attraction and MC roles.
I’ve not read the entire series, and you don’t need to, but it helps- there are lots of prior characters in here (and future couple setting) and an extended scene involving another couple whose book I have not read, so I was less into it because I didn’t know them. I think the exposition could feel abrupt to non-series readers as well- since you’ve not been introduced to this world and characters before.
Overall, it was a good entertaining read. I’m invested in the characters and bought into their chemistry. The MC biz is always exciting stuff, and the STEAMY fun is so delicious. Plus, some foreshadowing for much to come, overall 3.5 stars.
Hayley Faiman sure knows how to write a MC romance with all the grit and twists and lust pouring from the pages! my first read by this author and ill be going back for more and to catch up! this is book 5 of Taz and Tristas story. Trista has always wanted Taz but Taz only ever wanted her body soon Trista realises there is more to life than that and leaves only to be dragged back by her dad and Taz when things get heated for the MC. will they find love between the differences that kept them apart? read this awesome book and find out well written with great charismatic characters!

Another hit book by Hayley Faiman
There’s a lot going on in this MC story. Taz is a member of the Savage Beast MC, and definitely a player. Trista, having grown up with the MC as loved Taz for years but realizes it will not ever go anywhere. So she moves to LA to find herself. When things start to go south for the MC, Taz goes to LA to bring Trista back home for her safety. These two love and battle back and forth. There’s plenty of hot, smoldering sex plus add in some insurmountable danger. I was definitely captured from the first page of this book.
Trista is twenty-two and has been in love with Taz for years. She wants nothing more than for Taz to want to be with her more than just her body. Knowing that will never happen, she leaves and moves to Arizona. A recent threat against the Savage Beast MC causes Taz to show up and force her to come back. Taz wants her to be only his but Trista knows that he will never be able to only be with her. While they cannot keep their hands to themselves, Trista hopes when he is done with her heart will still be intact.
I fell head-over-hells in love with him and he’s done nothing
but sh*t on me at every possible opportunity.
Leaving here is the smartest thing that I can do, at least for
my on sanity.
Taz is the Sergeant-at-Arm for the Savage Beasts MC. At forty-four, he loves his freedom, especially with women. Now matter how much Trista has pushed her way into his heart, at his age he knows one woman will not ever be enough. He knows he should stay away from her, but he can’t. What he will do is brand her and make sure her body is his alone.
I shouldn’t have touched her at nineteen, I shouldn’t
touch her now, but I can’t stop.
The fifth book in the Savage Beasts MC series. I have not read the first four books in the series, but it can be read as a standalone. I liked Trista’s character. She was strong and independent. While she fell in love with Taz at a young age, she is a daughter of the club, so her expectations of their “relationship” are realistic. I honestly was not pushing for Trista to be with Taz in the beginning. I hated how he felt that she was his and not allowed to be touched by any other guy, but he was not going to offer her the same. Hayley Faiman did a great job of showing Taz’s internal turmoil. Being older and a biker he thought settling down was not something he would ever want. He never thought he would be able to find a woman who would satisfy his sexual appetite. He was fighting an inner battle with himself. You could tell he was in love with Trista but was afraid to commit because he did not trust that he would be faithful.
“You make me the happiest woman on earth, Ridge, I’m
happy to be yours.”
“You could do better, but f*ck me, I’ll never give you the
opportunity to try. Love you Tristiana.”
I wrote this review based on an advance reading copy that the publisher sent me in exchange for an honest review.
Taz and Trista were a wild ride. From the start I knew that they could be magic together and watching them both (kinda) fight what they could be broke my heart for them. Trista was so strong and I love that she didn’t let herself break. She stayed being that amazing and strong girl that I knew she could be.
Taz was a jerk a lot of this book but that honestly didn’t make me love him any less. I totally understood him and wanted to hug him. I loved that Krista really tried hard to understand Taz and that Taz worked hard to understand her. It wasn’t always easy, but it was beautiful. The action in the story was good but not really in your face which I enjoyed. We got those scenes, but for the most part this story was about Trista and Taz with some club business added in.
Omg I love Avah. She was amazing and I would live to see her get a book. She had that sass that I live in heroines and just had that don’t care attitude that makes her a BAB (can’t say the really words) that you can’t help but be intrigued by. (I would love to see her get a full book)
We see things that were part of the last book and it bright tears to my eyes and made me smile at the same time. The author really has. Way of having each and every secondary characters being a part of the present book. I love that. It gives that family feel off when it comes to her series.
Overall I loved it. I wanted to smack Taz upside the head more then once but I loved when he finally gave it and realized that Trista was perfect for him. The ending was a lot more abrupt then I wanted it to be but I think the central bad guy plot will carry on into the next book. There are still more brothers that I NEED to see get a book, so hopefully this series will continue to grow and hit the spot I need it to. 4 stars #2OCCJD
