Reviews
5 HEARTS! "The third book in the Feral series, Lacey Savage tells what becomes of Alison after her attack on Brad. This is an adventure filled story with lots of emotions. Ms. Savage knows how to build the tension high and keep her readers turning the pages. In this reviewer's opinion, although there is a lot of sex in this story, it balances out very well with the overall plot and the characters. There is a bit of female/female going on, and some mild BDSM, but this reviewer felt that everything was very tastefully done and with lots of sizzles and sparks. Ms. Savage's characters leap off the pages. Victor has a lot of faith in Alison and it was a real treat to see how Alison learns that Victor is not all he seems to be. A fantastic read, be sure to get the whole series!" -- Valerie, Reviewer for Love Romance
5 ANGELS! "Feral Hedonism pits two strong-willed characters against each other, only they aren't fighting a purely physical fight. Oh no, their battle is one of wills, determination, emotions, and desires. Alison is a beautiful creature but struggles with her past. Victor has both a dominant and compassionate personality, caring for those in his keep. With sizzling passion in more than one form, readers will experience an erotic tale mixed with emotions and a little danger. Although there are two more stories in this series that this reader has not read, I was able to pick up and run with this story from page one, sparking my interest to return to read the ones I missed. Lacey Savage penned a wonderful tale of coming to terms with mistakes you have made, fighting for the one you believe in, and not giving up no matter how bad it looks." -- Shayley, Reviewer for Fallen Angels Reviews
4 STARS! "I enjoyed the different layers that were a part of this story: intrigue, BDSM, acceptance, forgiveness, and self-awareness. Ms. Savage creates a character in Ali that wants to be loved and not being able to find it, she sets out to destroy the very group that would not love her. I was able to sympathize with Ali and understand the reasons behind her goal to destroy. Victor is a Master in every sense of the word. The sexual chemistry between Victor and Ali, and Ali and other parties was very hot! Ms. Savage displayed a different twist to the relationship between a Master and his submissive which was brilliant. Feral Hedonism is the third stand-alone book in the Feral series. All of the secondary characters played an integral part in Ali's healing, however, there was one character, Emma, that I would love to see in a separate story. From the first page of this story, the plot flowed smoothly leading the reader to a beautiful finish. Once again Ms. Savage proved what a great writer she is and I am looking forward to her next story." -- LT Blue, Reviewer for Just Erotic Romance Reviews
4 CUPS! "Feral Hedonism is a wild ride; full of action, graphic sex, and a look into hedonistic pleasure and everything that entails. However, there is also love, and I liked how it does not take long before Allie realizes what Victor's real motivation is for keeping her punishment on his terms. The emotions felt by all the characters, including the secondary ones, were well-evoked and easy to relate to. The world-building with regards to werewolf culture is imaginative. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Savage." -- Regina, Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance
4 CRYSTAL TATTOOS! "Pulse pounding excitement will grab your attention from the first page of Feral Hedonism. An exciting addition to Ms. Savage's Feral series Feral Hedonism continues on the story of the Zante pack and those attempting to destroy them. While Alison appears to be a strong and independent woman at first Victor's tender persuasion soon reveals the chinks in her armor, making Alison a much more like-able character. Victor's insistence on trust when he is so ready to believe the worst of Alison really made me want to smack him upside the head, while his gentle methods of seduction sooth the wounded soul that Alison guards so well. Sensual scenes of BDSM training mark almost all the encounters between Alison and Victor, including scenes where other peoples are involved in training the reluctant captive, creating an
aura of eroticism that will hold you entranced. With loose ends still up in the air and plenty of Zante pack members seeking a mate of their own I look forward to the next installment in the Feral series." -- Megan, Reviewer for Erotic Escapades
Excerpt
Fury tore through Victor McCormack's body with the vicious strength of a monsoon downpour, flooding his senses, drowning him in the fiery heat of vengeful anger. His fur bristled as he ran, ruffled by a gust of crisp morning wind. He snarled, lips peeling back from sharp fangs, jaw snapping around a mouthful of air.
She'll pay. In blood, if that's what it takes.
The vicious thought shook him, marginally souring the savage hunger surging in his veins. He'd never wanted to hurt Ali before, but damn it, she'd left him no choice.
For years, he'd imagined what it would be like to finally have the elusive, mysterious Alison Hill at his command. Yet in all the nights he'd spent fantasizing about making her his bed-slave, he'd never once pictured having to kill her.
That Ali had to be punished for her crimes against the Zante pack, he had no doubt. Victor snarled, reminding himself he was the right wolf for the job. J.C. had put him in charge of pack security for a reason. Victor's reputation for being ruthless when it came to ensuring the welfare of his tribe was well-deserved, and he wasn't about to let anyone -- not even the Alpha's sexy half-sister -- get away with trying to destroy the pack.
He tilted his head and urged his aching muscles to greater speed. When the chase finally ended, he'd have her in his grasp. He could finally make all those fantasies come true.
Maybe he'd even take his time with her, revel in the scent of her fear. He'd watch the feverish gleam of comprehension in her eyes as she came to terms with the fact that she'd taken her last mercenary job, performed her last cruel act. After all, Victor silently assured himself, whatever fate befell her now, she'd brought on herself. From the moment she'd thrust the needle into Brad Hennessy's thigh, Ali had forfeited her right to freedom.
She didn't know it yet, but the decision to inject Brad with Daniel Kraus's sterility formula had made her Victor's. As the pack's security chief, he had complete autonomy when it came to dealing with those who would harm any member of the tribe.
When he caught up with her, Ali was in for the punishment of her life.
If he caught up with her.
He grimaced, his paws digging into soft dirt. She was good, he had to give her that. She'd obviously been well trained during her time away. She knew all the tricks for masking her scent and hiding her paw prints from all but the most determined pursuer.
Well, Victor was nothing if not determined.
The musky aroma of excited female hit him square in the muzzle, igniting the rage that fueled his fevered pursuit. His prey was close. So close, he could smell the carnal flavor of her arousal as it drenched the air with pheromones. She was obviously high on her success, confident in the knowledge that she'd gotten away with destroying the Zante werewolf pack -- his pack.
Her pack too, once.
He caught sight of Ali's hind legs as she ran, her sleek muscles pulsing under the soft white fur, her paws barely touching the ground. Desire stirred in his groin, sudden and unwanted. He slid through the foliage, keeping his belly low to the ground. Adrenaline flared, filling his mouth with saliva and hungry, desperate need.
She paused, her ears perking as she turned her head in his direction. He stilled his movements in mid-stride and gritted his teeth. Had she heard his approach? He'd hoped for the element of surprise, but at this point, he'd take the slightest opening she gave him.
Her dark eyes narrowed as she scanned the area, and he flattened himself lower to the ground, grateful for the tall grass that grew unabated this deep in the forest. He didn't dare breathe as she watched for signs of danger. If she caught his scent, she'd be on guard, prepared for his attack. Her obvious training would pose a problem, one he'd deal with if he had to, but one he preferred to avoid.
His gaze slid over the pure snow white gloss of her fur, and he found himself admiring the feral beauty of a were-female in full shift. He remembered what she looked like almost a decade ago, when she'd first learned to transform from a gangly teenage human into an exotic, glorious wolf. Her metamorphosis had always been flawless, her smooth limbs shifting with natural grace. He'd been enamored then. The memory of following her countless times as she ran through the night sparked in him, and he could recall the way her fur glistened, slicked back with the rush of wind, her low, sensual growls reaching his ears, stirring his blood.
She'd never learned how he'd felt about her, which, considering the current circumstances, was definitely a good thing. His feelings for her -- for the girl she used to be -- would only get in the way of what he had to do now.
