This is actually a new author to me and I'm so glad I was able to read this one. The chemistry between them is off the charts, I thought my kindle was going to melt.

Rick Savage works at Walker Security and his past comes back asking to pay his debt. He left his heart and lover in Houston and now he needs to be back. He has been avoiding his past for a reason and now he will have to be back and face his past.
Candace found her forever love with Rick Savage until he left her without a good bye and 8 years later, she finds out he is back in town. She hasn't been the same ever since he left her but now she is engaged to future senate who has more secrets.
Rick loves Candace but she is someone else's fiancee and he is willing to risk everything to get her back. Now he is willing to do anything to get her back as long as she feels the same way. Plus he has a job to do and everything doesn't sound like simple job.
Walker Security team and Savage will need to protect Candace and her father from his past. It won't be easy but sparks are flying again for Candace and Rick and they are willing to risk for second chance.
It starts with bang and keeps you in suspense until the end.. This is only the first book and it is a page turner and can't wait to get to the next book. I have enjoyed Lisa Renee Jones's books so far and Walker Security alpha males are awesome.
Thanks to Netgalley and author for ARC and voluntarily leaving a review.

Spicy. Spicy. Spicy. Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this book in an exchange for an honest review. I liked the romance but honestly that was all it had going for it. The only thing that kept me going was the sex and to finally get to the end.

Savage and Candace have a history, one that is about to explode all over again.

The relationship between the main characters is developed through previous experience. but you don't feel as though you're missing out on any part of the story as a reader. Lis Renee Jones does a fantastic job creating a story line that keeps you both entertained and sitting on the edge of your seat. Told from dual POV, Savage Hunger is a page turner that gives you all the feels, ones you don't even see coming.

Trigger warnings: there is a form of cheating. I usually do not condone such but in this case there is an explanation to the reasons behind it. One that I cannot elaborate on without spoiling plot points.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to any romance reader who loves a solid alpha male and a heroine who gives as good as she gets.

Thank you NetGalley for the digital ARC. This book pulled me in and left me hanging! Good thing I have the next one already. Sorry it took me so long to start it.

Savage Hunger by Lisa Renee Jones.
Rick Savage, but they call him Savage and for a reason. He can make you laugh and then rip your heart out. No one knows that more than me, Candace Marks, the woman he left bleeding from the heart. I loved him. Lord help me, I’ve never stopped loving him.
Now, I’m engaged to another man, a brutal man I’m trapped into marrying, when to my shock, Savage returns home. Savage who I haven't heard from in years. I want to hate him. I have every reason to hate him, but I can’t. I still love him and I fear he will save me just to leave me bleeding one last time. He stirs my desires, a dark, delicious, and dangerous man destined to hurt me and leave me. This time I’m not sure I'll survive.
Brilliant read. I loved the story and most of the characters. I loved how Savage was. 5*.

This story had me hooked from beginning to end! The chemistry and love between Rick (Savage) and Candace is off the chart. The love scene between these two, incredible😉 You have suspense, cockiness, humor, love, alpha male and a feisty female. I especially love how the Walker Security team are there for each other. Can’t wait to read Savage Burn. Thanks for keeping me intrigued, Lisa!

Having read the other series by Lisa Renee Jones, I was very interested in Rick Savage's story bc I liked his character as a prominent member of a security team created and staffed by former special ops guys. Savage always came across as more sensitive than the others in the previous stories, so it was interesting for me to see him from this aspect with a former flame. Since this is just the first part of his story, I won't get into the plot as much yet, but I will say that I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next books in his trilogy!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend to everyone.

One rainy night, it was destiny when Candice Marks and Rick Savage first met. Rick was in medical school as a surgical resident and Candice was serving her internship with an architecture firm – their attraction was instantaneous. After Savage was deployed, he let Candace go, to save her, to protect her. Now Savage has returned San Antonio only to find Candace engaged to another man, but does she love him? Or is Candace still in love with Savage? Savage can not let her go again, he loves her and he needs her. He is on a mission and if all else fails, he will protect her. Be warned, a bit disappointing that the book ends in a cliffhanger so you will need to patiently wait for the next book in the series. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

I am really torn with this book. So, I will just write the review. First, you have Candice and Savage they start something until he leaves for the military. She seems like she would have been a woman who would have wanted. Instead of no word and then a letter that tells her to move on. She also hears from her father who happens to be a General in the Army that he is a killer now a mercenary. Thinking she will never see him again she has tried to move on.
Now eight years later a man named Tag shows up where Savage and the men he works with are at. Telling him that he is calling in that favor that is owed to him from years ago. He must go to San Antonio; he does not know the reason why. He finds the reason after being in a bar.
Once the two of them seeing each other he is only wanting to be with her, where she is questioning everything, for now, she is engaged to another man. Though she is not in love with that man she still tells Savage he is the one that walked away from her. One of the problems I had with the story was that it was when of Savage's workmates that told her what his life was about and not him. Mainly the biggest issue I had was Savage just felt over the top as an alpha male and it is not until you are in more than 70% of the book that you start really getting a feel of where the story is going by then it ends and you are to wait for the next book and then another book after that one. So, you must remember to look for the next one if you can remember.

Savage Hunger is a story of a military man who believes his actions means he is no good for the women he loves. He breaks things off thinking its for the best but years later the past comes back and now he must face her again.
Lisa Renee Jones does a great job at putting you inside Rick Savage's head. Letting you know what he is feeling and thinking. You can feel the passion between both Rick and Candace and it burns hot.
The storyline flows nicely and the description in writing allowed me to be able to make a picture in my mind clearly.
The pull to find out what happens next kept me turning the page and reading more. I am interested to see what happens in the following books.

It was a good story with likeable characters, I read it in one sitting because I was intrigued by the plot

Holy cliffhanger! I need more!! Lisa never disappoints with her books and this one was no different. I love the characters and how the story flowed so well. Definitely definitely definitely need more!

Not my first read by the author, the blurb in this is what caught my eye. Dark Romance lover and all! Also forewarning this is a cliffhanger…there are two more books to come.

Now without giving out too much, this is a dark romance…a very ROMANTIC dark romance that has a lot of beautiful scenes as well as sexy, passionate, hateful, love….it kind of is a full dark romance package. I was pleasantly surprised to have really enjoyed this, a lot!

There are back and forth parts, meaning, you get a look of the past and present. The heroine and hero are so beautiful together, when that is torn apart…even a decade can’t keep them apart…even though it just might kill them this time…will they be able to come back together? The cliffhanger is dramatic enough but book #2 takes off right where it ended. That’ll be another review, but definitely would recommend this start!

Rating: 4.5★

Couldn’t put this down and I need more Savage, I need more story and I need it now, I really really need to know what happens next. I didn’t like this, I loved it the first in a trilogy and I really cannot wait for the next two books . Entertaining, addictive and pure escapism

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

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.

Rick and Candace's story. Overall a good book, but the language at times felt a little rough, and didn't appreciate the cliff hanger at the end. Prefer more stand alones, even in a series. May just be me. Would still recommend, as I in general like this author and her stories.

Thank you to the author and NetGalley for the ARC of this book.

I love me some Savage!

I have been waiting for his story for so long and it did not disappoint. While we've seen Savage as the snarky, handsome character in other LRJ books, here we get to see other sides to him. The only downside is having to wait for the other books in the series. Great read!

Savage Hunter was absolutely amazing and I couldn’t put it down. From the first page to the last I was glued to my seat. Phenomenal
