Savage Hearts Special Edition by J.T. Geissinger
4.0
I'm starting to notice a recurring pattern across these books that links them together.
Compared to the previous two, this book surpassed my expectations significantly. While the main couple wasn't my favorite, the writing was notably stronger, so this was my favorite book out of the three I’ve read so far. One thing for sure, I appreciated the improved pace and handling of intimate scenes, so much so that Malek's portrayal left me a bit attracted to him.
However, I find it slightly irksome that the writing style and pacing remains unchanged throughout. Once again, the actual plot managed to keep me engaged. I wish the author would introduce some variety; although the plotting is exceptional, it feels as though she keeps to a predetermined structure as I’ve mentioned in other book reviews in this series.
The characters, on the other hand, are exceptional. Spider, in particular, has become one of my favorites, even from the previous book I wanted him. Despite his rough exterior, he reveals himself to be a compassionate really striking individual with a lot of character. Although his actions towards the end were annoying and weird to me, his underlying goodness shines through. I'm excited for the final book in this series, especially if it focuses on him and the new female character introduced in the end. It's refreshing to see the narrative shift away from themes of kidnapping and power struggles, I hope so at least. Spider strikes me as someone who would thrive in a relationship with a strong, more dominant woman that leads on top in the bedroom and puts him to a groaning mess.
This series has me completely whipped. I might even consider jumping into another series by Geissinger after this.
Geissinger's evolution as a writer throughout these books is truly impressive. I'm so taken with her growth that I'm considering purchasing special edition covers to display proudly on my bookshelves at home.
