#1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan explores uncharted territory in the new Torpedo Ink Motorcycle Club novel.
When Savin “Savage” Pajari and Seychelle Dubois first met, their connection was instant, their attraction undeniable. Their relationship has been full throttle since day one. Even though months have passed, the passion and love between them has only increased.
Savage completely owns what he is: a sadist in the bedroom who can only get off on his partner’s pain. He believes he’s not a good man, but he loves Seychelle with a fierceness that shocks him. He wants all of her, but only if she gives herself freely with eyes wide open.
Seychelle never imagined the lure of mixing pain with pleasure, or how much she’d crave Savage’s darkness. She’s been shaken to her core, but Seychelle is committed to Savage and their life together—even though he’s keeping a piece of himself back. And to truly make their relationship work, he has to give her everything that he is, just as she is doing for him.
Savage knows that what he really needs could break his woman if she isn’t ready. She agreed to come into his world, and he’s not about to give her up. He has to find a way to let her see the monster inside without pushing her away. But the real Savage might be more than Seychelle can bear...and he knows he wouldn’t survive losing her.
I tried reading Savage Road two years ago when it was first released but decided to put it aside and pick it up later. I wasn’t in the right mindset to read it then, but I decided now was time to pick it up again. I needed to know if Seychelle and Savage were ever going to find their HEA for one another because they still had some issues to work on with each other.
This book mainly focuses on Savage and Seychelle working through their issues together and Savage finally revealing his past to Seychelle and why he craves certain things. It’s also a steamier book, which involves a lot of BDSM, so if you are not a fan of BDSM, then this book may not be for you. Savage isn’t sweet in the bedroom; he’s dominant (and a sadist), and he loves to inflict pain on Seychelle.
Seychelle is determined more than ever to give Savage what he needs in their relationship, especially in the bedroom. But she does have some Torpedo Ink members and the women of the club telling her she won’t be able to give Savage everything he needs, and it starts to bother her. I’m glad she didn’t walk away from Savage, though, and they communicated it out. Savage also revealed the truth about why he preferred tastes in the bedroom to Seychelle, which was a significant point in the book for me. It was about time he told her the truth. He frustrated me when he kept things from her.
Yes, this book will focus on Savage and Seychelle, but there is Motorcycle Club drama, too, which involves other clubs. It’s not a focal point, but it’s there, and I was more interested in what was happening to the club at times than focusing on Savage and Seychelle because it tended to be repetitive.
I’m glad I finally read this book, but once again, it won’t be a favorite in the series. Savage and Seychelle needed two books, but I’m ready for the next couple now. I’m ready to get back to the Torpedo Ink business and what they are dealing with. Overall, this book was an okay read for me again, and I give it 3.5 stars.
If you enjoy a dark and gritty Paranormal Romance with a suspenseful storyline, then this series is probably up your alley and should be added to your TBR. I highly recommend checking your triggers, though, because this series does have quite a bit.
Series/Standalone: It’s part of the Torpedo Ink series, and technically, each book could be read as a standalone, except for Annihilation Road and Savage Road, which need to be read in order.
