ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date: April 21, 2020

The third and final book on the Savage Trilogy…

They say all is fair in love and war, but I really don’t give a damn about fair. In fact, when protecting those I love, fair is the last thing on my mind. Because they also say all is fair in love and war. Now that I’m back in Candace’s life, those who have used her to try to control me, may well put up a final fight, but they will not win. They will lose and badly.

•••••••

REVIEW:SAVAGE LOVE is the third and final 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 LOVE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book one SAVAGE BURN. Lilah Love and Kane Mendez from the author’s Lilah Love series cross over with the current time line.

NOTE:If you have not read books one and two, there may be spoilers in my review.

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 LOVE follows in the wake of an attempt on Candace’s life, and the continuing investigation into the people and persons targeting our couple including the possibility of Candace’s current yet former fiancé. While Rick calls in help from Walker Security, Candace must make preparations to face the man who has quite possibly ordered her death. With her father missing in the Middle East, and her fiancé making a run for political office, our heroine struggles with issues of trust, including the man with whom she is still in love. What ensues is the continuing rebuilding relationship between Candace and Rick, and the potential fall-out as best laid plans fail when an unknown combatant / assailant enters the picture.

SAVAGE LOVE is the culmination of three instalments focusing on the who, how and why of Rick’s disappearance and his estrangement from the woman he loves; on the political machine that is US politics; and on the power, control and financial gain of murder, espionage, war and love. Lisa Renee Jones pulls the reader into an impassioned and spicy story that will captivate and seduce.

One final observation, with the appearance of Lilah Love and Kane Mendez, I am hoping their particular part of this story continues in the next chapter of the Lilah Love series or has a resolution in another series. As I have not read the fourth instalment in the Lilah Love series, I do not know if any of the Savage Trilogy has crossed over to the other side.

I don’t just kiss Candace, I ravish her, I drink her in like a man lost in a desert, dying of a thirst he cannot quench. And I was until I found her again. What’s worse is, that desert was of my own making, a desolate fucking desert I’m done with because, thank fuck, she’s not done with me.

Hugging her close, I hold her like this moment is it, like this is the last time I might ever hold her again. I kiss her just the same, like I will never kiss her again. I’ve never kissed her with that kind of desperation before now, and not because I didn’t love her. I just always took for granted that tomorrow would come. And I always intended to come back, but I didn’t and now I know, shit happens. People die, tomorrow is not always guaranteed.

She knows this kiss is different, too. It’s in the way she kisses me back, the way she twists her fingers around my T-shirt. In the way she jerks back, parting our lips, searching my face. In the intensity of her green eyes when they meet mine, the sudden parting of lips, now swollen from my kiss, at what she finds, she orders, “Do not kiss me like this is goodbye, Rick Savage, damn you.”

She tries to dislodge herself from my grip but I hold onto her. “Don’t run.”

She gapes. “Run? Me? I’m not the one who ran.” I physically flinch with those well-deserved words, but she’s not done. “If you want to say goodbye, just say goodbye, Rick.”

“I’m not saying goodbye, Candace.” I catch her hair around my fingers and drag her gaze to my unguarded gaze. I let her see the torment in me. I let her see the guilt. I let her see the dark need in me that isn’t going away like I’m not going away. “This is not goodbye,” I repeat. “This is me making sure that you’re properly kissed, fucked, licked, and loved, the way you deserve to be.”

“It feels like goodbye.”

“No, and one day you’ll trust me enough to know that a dark night doesn’t take us there again. I promise you, you will. Soon.”

“How soon?”

“New York. It’s going to change everything.”

“Can we go now?” she asks hopefully, but we both know we can’t. We both know we have to see tomorrow out.

“I wish we could, baby. I wish we could.”

My mouth slants over hers, my tongue licking deeply, possessively and I make sure every answer she wants is right there in this kiss. I make sure she knows that I’m not fucking living another day without her. She moans into my mouth and when my hands settle on her spine, she arches into me. I rotate her toward the couch, pressing her against the back, my hands finding that soft smooth skin under her T-shirt.

Goosebumps lift on her skin and I tear my mouth from hers. “You have always been exactly what I need.”

“Am I?”

“Oh yes, baby. You are. I felt you even when you weren’t with me. Every day I was away, I felt you. I missed you. I needed the hell out of you.” I catch the hem of her shirt and toss it, my gaze lowering to her breasts, my fingers tracing the swell above the black lace of her bra, then finding her nipple through that lace.

She sucks in a breath and catches my hand. “Rick, I—”

“God, I love when you say my damn name…”

SAVAGE BURN (Savage Trilogy #2) by Lisa Renee Jones-review & excerpt tour

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo /

RELEASE DATE: February 18, 2020

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.

“I stayed away for a reason. I knew if I ever touched you again, I’d want all of you. I’d want to own you and I wouldn’t give a shit about the price. So, yes, I’m going to spank you.”

“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?”
