But I pursued her anyway. Back then I had hope that maybe she could change my
future.
Maybe together we could change our fate . . .
My Review
Savage, the first book of The Kingwood Duet, is a Romantic Suspense/Mystery Thriller like nothing I've read before. Alexander Kingwood is a man on a mission ,whose life is full of secrets, enemies & lies. Sara Jane Grayson has her whole life ahead of her, she is the only true constant in Alex's life, the only one he can count on. All he wants is for her to be his queen. All she wants is for him to be the King she knows he can be.
Told in first person, from dual perspectives, this story starts out slow, leaving no doubt that the love between these characters is beyond intense. A soul deep kind of love "We'll never love anyone as much as we love each other." The sensual & sexy physical attraction between these two is nothing short of hot. There also is no room for doubt, that this is a tale of good versus evil, light versus dark, just as much as it is a romance "I love you, both the dark and the light.", "I never knew life could teeter between good and evil so easily..." There is a lot of build up before the nature of the mystery is revealed & I was unsure where the story was going for a while (DON'T let that deter you). Expect surprises even after the mystery is revealed with more, twists & turns, & an ending that comes to quickly.
S.L. Scott has the wonderful ability to draw you in, building the story, getting you invested to the extreme without even realizing it! At first glance, I didn't think the slow build was necessary, honestly thought it was a bit much, just to add to the mystery of it all... until the very end. This is an epic love story that I never saw coming... I love Alexander & his knight in shining armor - "determined to be everything she would ever need." way with Sara Jane. I love Sara Jane & the insurmountable strength she didn't know she had - "There's nothing ugly about the firefly. Just like her, its strength is illuminated in the darkest of times." Together they hold to the mantra "Don't let the world win." Oh my goodness how I hope that will be true... S.L. Scott summed up my thoughts on this story best: "I didn't love it because of the ending. I loved it because of the journey. Every love story has its burdens to bear. It's how they survive it that makes it great."
