Description

"Last name's Savage -- it means wild and uncontrolled," Jace, a party boy, yacht builder and skilled photographer with a quicksilver temper, tells the pretty waitress at Chica Rios. He's desperate to get laid, but there's something in the way of his driving, overactive libido and the girl standing before him - trouble...big trouble, and a whole lot of it, from the trustifarian prick who works by his side, to his messed up twin sister, to the secret hiding at his house.

He sets out to woo Zoé Dubois, keeping her away from his trouble at home, encouraging her to let go of her inhibitions and live "Savage style," riding with him on the back of his motorcycle, exploring the great outdoors in a variety of oh, so delectable and naughty ways.

He ends up with way more than he bargained for. Turns out she's the kind of woman who demands the truth...and that's just not the way he rolls. He uses his sexual experience to teach Zoé how to surrender and his strong will to get his way with her. She leverages his love for her to get him to let her into his troubled world and tender heart - something he's stubbornly determined to protect. Their passionate, erotic, romantic connection keeps them bound together while the trouble he brings threatens to tear them apart at every turn.

For mature audiences 18+

Advance Praise

5 star (Amazon) This is the best Calinda B book yet. I love the characters and the storyline. Calinda supplies laughter, angst, romance and sex. Jace and Zoe begin a rocky relationship and steadily build on their trust of each other. I look forward to seeing where the story goes next. ~ RMWyer

5 star (Amazon) Calinda B has done it again. She's found a way to make characters come alive and worm their way into your hearts. Jace Savage has had his share of troubles. He's run with the wrong crowd, played the field. dabbled in drugs, but that's all in the past. He has responsibilities and he's doing his best to turn his life around, at least until his sister cleans up her act and comes to get her daughter.

Zoe Dubois's a hard working student working her way through college in a field that excites her. She's on the right track when she meets Jace. She doesn't know what to do with him. He excites her like no one else can, but keeps the wrong company. There are a myriad of trust issues from her own life's journey.

Calinda brings these two together with passion, and from the start you wonder if it will be a relationship that will stand the test of time. So much angst, so much steam, so many strings that keep dragging the past into their path. As the first book of hopefully many more, this book lays the ground work with characters you love and characters that you'll love to hate. All in all, a great read! ~ kph

This is the first book in Calinda's new contemporary romance series. Meet Jace Savage a hot photography, yacht builder and self proclaimed bad boy. That is until the day he meets Zoe Dubois. A college student, waitress and Chico Rios. He proclaims to her that he is dire need of getting laid. She isn't looking to get laid but find love. But she is drawn into his world. As he woos her and they have great sex and huge fights. As he tries to keep her away from his problems at home and work. The drugged out sister and the baby he is taking care of. To the bully of a so called friend with too much money and not enough brains. As they go along they start to actually fall for each other But as with every relationship we have the secret keeping and the misunderstandings. That will break them up for a little while but they always come back to each other in the end and love wins out.

Calinda takes us on quite an adventure in the fast paced book. There are so many twists and turns in this book. You are taking on such a ride. I mean the bike Jace rides is a character in its self. I mean its a sexy sexy bike and who wouldn't want to ride behind Jace on it/ Yes I don't know how she did it but there is a sex scene on the bike. Yes ladies a hot sex scene on a bike

The characters are written with an intensity that leaps off the pages at you. You can feel the heat between Jace and Zoe just jumps off the page as you read. She is the calming influence in his life . He just bulldozes his way through life. You want to scream at the e reader a few time when you read. Jace just tell her and don't be an idiot. She needs you. You also want to punch Billy in the face a few times , he is so greasy and you just want him to get his in the end.

This is a fast paced book that is full of well everything sex, intrigue and a hot motorcycle.

There is also some BDSM and alleged drug use through out this book . So if you enjoy reading about that this might not be the book for you. Over all I really liked this book the word baby was over used just a bit , but that is my opinion. So if you want to read about the hot alpha male and the sweet woman who tamed him. Oh yeah and a very hot motorcycle named grievous angel . This is the book for you. So check it out, great read for those hot sultry summer nights .

Calinda B. captured my attention with her character's and the settings right away. Jace is a self-described passionate free spirit, looking for a chance to get laid that doesn't require him to expose the disaster his home life has become. Zoe is looking for love and in the past, has chosen all the wrong places (and men) to look at. Their mutual attraction makes for some steamy scenes while their battered hearts get them both into more and more hot water--all while they fall deeper and deeper in love. Some of the secondary characters are a little overdone and the plot dragged at times, but overall, I couldn't put the book down because Jace's zest for life and Zoe's desire to finally believe in him drew me back again and again. Well written and a fun romp through Seattle and the Northwest.
