A review by dinoqueenreads
Savage Lover by Lore Townsend
4.0
please note that the trigger warnings and topes/themes may contain spoilers
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
HEA: yes
POV: dual 1st person POV
spice: several open-door spicy scenes
TWs: primal play, CNC, natural disaster, death of a spouse (recounted), cheating, ghosting, D/s relationship with no aftercare (book foreword reminds this is fiction and not a how-to for BDSM)
standalone: book 3 of Off-Limits Lovers series, interconnected standalones
final thoughts: this was a fun and spicy read heavily featuring scary movies, fear play, primal play, and CNC.
I liked the MCs and the side characters, there was plenty of spice, and there was enough plot to keep me engaged in the story surrounding their love affair. Characters from the other Off-Limits stories make appearances in this book and it would be helpful to the story to know who they are and their background, however this can be read as a standalone without any plot holes.
Note: The MCs engage in a Dom/sub relationship, but do not follow typical and safe BDSM practices like after care but, as with 99% of fiction, these shouldnโt be scripts to follow at home.
