My name is Rick Savage but they call me Savage for a reason. But savage that I am, there is only one woman who can tame the beast in me, one woman who sees the real man. I loved Candace. I lost Candace. Now my enemies have targeted her. For this, they will not survive. I’m back home to save her and win her back, no matter what the cost.

REVIEW: SAVAGE BURN is the second instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult SAVAGE erotic, romantic suspense trilogy focusing on former Green Beret and Walker Security specialist Rick Savage, and architect Candace Marks. The SAVAGE trilogy is a spin-off from the author’s NAKED and Dirty Rich series with the appearance of several characters from the author’s Walker Security series. SAVAGE BURN should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book one SAVAGE HUNGER.
SOME BACKGROUND: Eight years earlier Rick Savage destroyed Candace Marks’ heart when he sent a ‘Dear Candace’ letter while on assignment overseas but what Candace never knew was that Rick Savage was recruited by a covert CIA black ops unit, a unit whose former members are now in prestigious and powerful places in the US government. When a debt is called in, Rick Savage must face the inevitable including the woman whose heart he destroyed.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Rick and Candace) SAVAGE BURN follows Candace and Rick as Rick must come to terms with the threats against the woman he loves. Having stayed away for close to eight years, a debt-owed brings Rick back into Candace’s life, a debt Candace could potentially pay with her life. As Rick’s past begins to target the woman he loves, Candace must face the possibility that her life as she knew it is spiralling out of control. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Rick and Candace, and the fall-out as the number of players in the game of revenge grows exponentially as the stakes get higher and more dangerous.
SAVAGE BURN is a story of secrets and lies; sins of the past; issues of trust, power and control. We discover Candace is a pawn in a game that reaches the highest level of the US government; and Rick Savage knows that his past will do anything to destroy the woman he loves. The premise is engaging, intriguing and energetic; the romance is erotic, passionate and intense; the characters are colorful, dynamic, powerful and strong. SAVAGE BURN ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

“You think me submitting during sex means you own me?” she challenges.
“One night at a time, baby.”
“One night at a time, until you ruin me?”
“And then some,” I assure her. “There’s no saving you now.” Just to be sure she’s clear on that fact, I scoop her up and start walking.
She doesn’t object. She holds onto me. I want to believe she’ll hold on forever, but I’m not sure we’re there yet. Who am I kidding? I know we’re not fucking there yet, which is why we’re not doing this in the kitchen. This isn’t about sex. It’s about us, it’s about our relationship, our connection, the intimacy we have shared, the past come back to life. That means our bedroom.
The place we started and ended days together. The place we talked for hours. The place where we did naughty, kinky things to each other. Okay, I did naughty, kinky things to her more than she did to me. But it was here where the most intense moments were shared.
Once there, I find a small lamp by her bedside alight, casting the room in a dim yellow hue, shadows dancing on the walls with our movements. Shadows that taunt me with everything I’ve hidden from Candace and can no longer hide if I want to make this work. And I do.
I set her down on the floor in front of the mattress, her back to my front. My hand is on her belly, my erection at her hip. My lips at her ear. “Do you think you’re ready to trust me again?”
Her hand goes to my hand as if she’s trying to control where it goes, to hold it there, and yet, she leans into me. “We’ll find out now, won’t we?”
