Review:
The
amazing story of a group of friends that have come together to offer their
services as badasses to those of us in the world that may need their skills
continues in a big way as Zac Savage finds himself wrapped around the little
finger of not one, but two women that are destined to steal his heart. This
series is one that I decided to read simply because I am a little bit obsessed
with Katie’s ability to weave a tale and wish I could do what she does with
even half her ability. I loved the first
story and couldn’t see how she would be able to top it, and while I will say
this one didn’t quite TOP that one, it was a wonderful story with lots of
action, suspense, danger, emotion, and passion.
Savage has lived the majority of his life not believing he deserved the
love of any woman, much less a good woman, one with a special daughter, like
Olivia, but when she is in need of his unique brand of assistance he steps up
and finds himself ensnared by her big-time.
Olivia left her life of petty criminal stupidity a long time ago when
her daughter came along, but now she is being yanked back in and the danger
around her is too real to deny. She runs
to her best friend with only the slimmest hope of Skye and her new company
being able to help, but when she meets Zac Savage she isn’t prepared for the
passion he ignites in her blood. Working
together to overcome the obstacles to her freedom and her safety and that of
the most important people in their lives, Zac and Olivia soon find they’re
falling hard for one another. But when
the danger passes is there really a chance for them to lead a life together or
will the fire between them fizzle and die?
I LOVED Savage and can guarantee that if I ever met a man like him in
real life there is no way I would let him get away from me, but even better was
his willingness to stand beside—or sometimes in front of—Olivia as she fights
her way free of her enemies. Savage is
obviously seriously damaged by his past, but the love and devotion he’s ready
to offer to Olivia and her daughter are nothing to be scoffed at and I was
thrilled to watch him open his heart at last.
Olivia has made a few mistakes in her youth, but haven’t we all? Now she is paying for some of them
unfortunately and she has dragged the man she has come to love into danger with
her. It is obvious that Olivia is remorseful
for the drama and pain she is causing, but her own fears and insecurities got
in the way of her ability to accept her happiness a lot of the time. This is the biggest problem for us women I think;
once we’ve been burned it is SO hard for us to ever accept when something good
is offered. In the end Olivia finds a
way to show Savage that she can be the woman he needs and opens her life to him
and offers them both the chance they need for true happiness. I loved the ending of this story and cannot
wait for the two love-stories that were hinted at in the end to come next. This is shaping up to be another great series
by Ms. Reus, though I am honestly not surprised in the least!
