BLURB:
I had the life most guys only dreamed about: the house, the parties, the girls... until one girl showed up and ruined it all.
She doesn’t belong here. Not in the bedroom across the hall. Not in my house. Not in my town. And certainly not in my life.
It wasn’t really her fault... or mine.
We were caught up in the sins of our parents.
She thinks she’s strong, but she doesn’t have a clue as to what I’m capable of.
My name is SAVAGE after all.
I will break her...
But uncovering her secrets just might destroy me.
Dear Reader,
SAVAGE is the third book in my Rosewood High series. It's darker, full of drama, angst, and of course steam. Are you ready for a turbulent ride with Rosewood's #89, Ethan Savage?
I am new to this author and probably influenced my review by not having read the previous books in this series, so I can only express what this book has meant to me, by having clarified the above lets go to mi review.
I think the story is very good, but it seems to me that you have parts with too many things that just doesn’t make sense in them. For example, I've never seen an exact explanation of what happened in Ethan's parent’s marriage, like if they split up and the mother leaves her son with the father and the new family and neither her or his father sit and talk about it with him, I can't understand that. The same happens with Raelynn, It's true that Ethan and Rae are bout a young adults, but it seems that both live alone all the time. Rae’s mother going with her rich new lover right the next day of arriving to a completely new house living her daughter alone with a completely stranger is something a can’t understand, this is just unbelievable.
I understand Ethan's anger at the beginning of the book but I never saw any coherent dialogue with his father about what is going on, or any complaints against his father's new mistress, so when he takes out his anger and harassment on Rae i hate him very much and just wanted to put the book aside, but Rae is not the typical heroine who stays silent with everything these rich kids throw at her, no, she fights and hits back and boy did I like that.
I liked the interaction between Ethan and Rae, I like that although the attraction exists almost immediately they don't rush it and instead the author takes them slowly making the attraction grow so much that they can't resist it despite the hate they are supposed to have for each other.
Ethan is an idiot that I hate and it costs me to love but in the end it beats me, and Rae I loved her from start to finish for being constant and not letting anyone humiliate her and that is because of everything what she has been going through her life, the bad experiences make her to put up barriers to prevent them from hurting her again.
The note here is given by the parents of these two protagonists, they are irresponsible who make it very clear how little they care about their children, live only for them, i can’t connect with any of them, not even in the end I, I did not understand that they are so in agreement with the relationship of their children under the same roof and even the mother of Ethan is so happy for his son dating the daughter of the woman who became her husband mistress while they’re still married and get settled in her house the next minute she left. It's parts like these that seem to me to be under-exploited in this kind of book that make my grade drop.
In conclusion, I liked the book but is not one that I’m going back to read, and that’s because of those parts where I feel needs to fill with explanation or extend reasons for this parents acting more like child’s then and adults.
I received an ARC on exchange for my honest review. Thank you.
