I'm usually a huge fan of Christine Feehan's books, but Savage's book just was not my thing. I could not get into the more graphic scenes, its just not my thing. I had a really hard time getting through this book and had to read it in pieces.
Savage is much, much darker than most of her characters. Savage and Seychelle has to be able to trust each other, they both have been through a lot. Savage is a hard man to get to know and he had to learn how to put Seychelle above everything else. In the end, I am glad that they were able to ffind their HEA and hope they continue building their relationship. I am looking forward to the next book in the series and hoping that its a bit lighter.

These books have the potential to be so good. The underlying story is intriguing and so many of the characters are interesting but the non stop repetition is just annoying.

I used to be a huge fan of Christine Feehan's Dark series, but when I took a break from reading a number of years ago for a short bit, I somehow didn't go back to her books after. This is the first of hers that I've read in a while, and the first of the Torpedo Ink books that I've read. Jumping into this one, you have an established couple, Savage and Seychelle, who are going through some issues within their relationship. Seychelle feels that Savage is not treating her as a full partner should - Savage wants her to share everything with him, but doesn't want to unload his own burdens with her. As a result she is also uneasy with his club since she is being expected to help them out but is also being kept out of the loop on information. However, Savage really undergoes a lot to try and find compromise and a way for them to have their relationship really work for both of them.
I loved this, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was steamy, spicy and had way more of all of that than I remember her books having before and I loved that. I was definitely able to follow along with this, despite there being references to characters and situations from previous books. I wasn't lost, but it does have me intrigued and wanting to start with this series from the beginning. When I did a closer look into this series, I discovered that this was actually the second book for this couple and the previous release in the series covers their meeting and the start of their relationship. Definitely plan to read that one next. The only thing I would like to have seen was a little bit more of an ownership by some of the club members for lack of trust in Seychelle as a partner for Savage. It would have been nice to have seen an on page closure between a few of the members and her, but other than that I loved everything about this one and highly recommend it!

Holy crapola. That second part of Savage and Seychelles relationship duet of books was even more intense than the first. These two definitely had some serious relationship and emotional traumas and hurdles to overcome both individually and together. I'm so glad they managed to get everything together and find a true balance with one another it was definitely very heavy on the dark side of Savage's sexual needs and if you can't handle that kind of thing the book might not be for you. Splitting it into two and giving us the second view definitely gave us more but if you don't read it I don't think you'll be lost when you go to the next book in the series.

This was the longest most unnecessary book she's written.. the whole first half could've been left out.. the last chapters were the best in the whole book
