Reviews
5 FLAGS! "This is a really hot story for those who like m/m and menage, and for shifter fans. I highly recommend it, and I plan to find all of Lacey Savage's other books and devour them immediately!" -- Annie, Reviewer for Euro Reviews
Rating N/A "From start to finish, Feral Magnetism was swarming with one naughty, wickedly-hot sexual encounter after another, whether it was a twosome or threesome. Boy oh boy! I was consumed with orgasmic desire. I must caution that when you dive into Lacey Savage's Feral Magnetism you better turn up your air conditioner because this steamy hot number will without a doubt heat you up. In addition to the oh-so luscious, sensual sexual acts, Feral Magnetism also contains an exciting and suspenseful plot that will keep you glued to the edge of your seat as the story unfolds." -- Nikita Steele, Reviewer for Joyfully Reviewed
4 STARS! "Open the windows, because Feral Magnetism is hot, hot, hot!! Lacey Savage has written a story that is sexy, erotic, exciting, and oh so pleasurable. Fair warning to the faint of heart- this story contains homosexual encounters and threesomes. However, for those that have no issue with these things, you will be completely satisfied. J.C is the alpha male and he entails all things that come with that: sexy, total man's man, commanding presence, and confidence. Eve is strong willed, independent, and not afraid of J.C or his lifestyle. When she discovers her boss has more involvement with the story than anyone knows, she has a decision to make- save her job or make J. C. hers. What she does makes for an interesting plot twist, and makes J.C and Eve look deep into themselves for answers. Very exciting, fast paced, and thrilling, Feral Magnetism is an awesome read." -- Stacey, Reviewer for Just Erotic Romance Reviews
4 HEARTS! "This reviewer always forgets that when she is reading a book by Lacey Savage, a large bucket of ice needs to be nearby. Feral Magnetism is no exception. Hot, hot, hot, the relationship between Eve and J.C. will sizzle the monitor. Better have a fan on while reading! Ms Savage gives her readers multi-dimensional characters. Brad, J.C's friend and lover is the first gay werewolf this reviewer has read about. Their relationship is purely the best of friends type, and although J.C. indulges sexually with him, his heart beats for a woman. The plot is exciting and culminates with a nice twist to surprise the reader. This is a read that will hook the reader and keep her on the edge of her seat until the last word is read. Exciting, sensual, romantic and pulsating, Ms Savage knows her craft and uses it skilfully." -- Valerie, Reviewer for Love Romances and More
4 BLUE RIBBONS! "Love scenes are more than hot and this book is certainly not for the faint of heart. Lacey Savage knows how to write a story that will keep tongues wagging for a long time to come." -- Angel, Reviewer for Romance Junkies
4 ANGELS! "Lacey Savage's Feral Magnetism heats up quickly and never cools down. It's an erotic, paranormal romance not for the faint of heart, since it runs the gamut of M/M, partially shifted forms, menage, and M/F sexual relationships. (Yum) J. C. is one heck of a hunky werewolf who is unused to being accepted by women for himself, faults and all. When he meets Eve, it becomes a whole new ballgame, because he's deeply attracted to her, despite her being human, and he knows the pack elders are going to have something to say about that. Eve is your basic workaholic scientist, but that all changes when she meets J. C. It soon becomes apparent that she's passionately attracted to him and is willing to satisfy him in just about anyway he demands. As with any relationship there are growing pains, as they experience mistreatment or perceived mistreatment at the hands of one another. Secondary character Brad is uber-yummy and such a smart aleck. I'm looking forward to reading his story sometime soon. I wonder if he really will consent to choosing a mate since he's gay. For a great read, pick up a copy of Ms. Savage's Feral Magnetism." -- Lady Amethyst, Reviewer for Fallen Angels Reviews
4 CUPS! "This is a hot, sexually infused story that is pure liquid fire. The three have a menage that will have you breathing heavy and fanning yourself. I enjoyed this great story immensely. You should make time to read it right away." -- Candy Cay, Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance
4 TATOOS! "Are you looking for hot sex, suspense and laughter... well look no farther because Feral Magnetism is the book for you! What more could you ask for? Well with sex so steamy it will dampen your panties Feral Magnetism is an excellent all around read. J.C. is a great alpha hero; dominant and aggressive when challenged but always protective of those in his care. Watching him struggle against taking a human woman as his mate, when deep inside he knows she
is meant to be his, was almost to painful to watch. However when push came to shove J.C. couldn't deny what Eve meant to him. Eve's easy acceptance of J.C., while half shifted, was explained well and I thought it was lovely that not only did she accept him as a werewolf but she was also drawn to him sexually. I must admit to feeling rather sorry for Brad though, he seemed to get left behind. Hopefully Ms. Savage will see fit to give Brad his own story in the near future because I will be anxious to read it. Be sure to add Feral Magnetism to you keeper shelf it has definitely found a place on mine." -- Megan, Reviewer for Erotic Escapades
Excerpt
For the first time in three years, J.C. didn't feel like participating in Fuck Friday, his long-standing weekly guys' night out. "Can't we just... talk?"
Brad Hennessy smirked, showing two perfect dimples through the hint of scruffy five o'clock shadow dusting his cheeks. He was naked except for the pair of black socks he'd left on when he'd hastily discarded his clothing in a pile by the entrance to the small shed. Bright neon light from various amusement rides washed through the narrow window and played over the muscular planes of his chest. "Yeah, right. The day J.C. Hill only wants to talk is the day I turn over ownership of the Hard Delights Amusement Park to one of the janitors."
"Then I suggest you start drawing up papers." J.C. shoved his hands in the pockets of his jeans and turned to look out the narrow window. He was tired and irritable, and he wanted to be left alone.
Outside the mechanical shed of the "Blow Me Away" roller-coaster ride, the night's celebration was in full-force. Tonight's central entertainment, the explosive animated fireworks that Griffin Taylor had promised, was scheduled to go off in just a few minutes, though neither he nor Brad had wanted to remain outside to watch.
Brad's footsteps creaked on the wooden floor, but J.C. didn't turn around. He wasn't in the mood to fuck, though he'd come here tonight intending to do just that.
"Are you sure you won't reconsider?" Unmistakable desire filled Brad's low, throaty voice. His warm breath caressed J.C.'s skin, sending a swirl of heat to his groin.
Since arriving an hour ago, J.C. had been surrounded by sex. Men of all ages came to Hard Delights to indulge in some adult fun away from judgmental prying eyes, and J.C. knew better than anyone how accommodating the park could be for any kind of kinky treat a man desired. And no one was better at showing a guy a good time than Brad, sole proprietor of the amusement park and self-proclaimed confirmed bachelor. At a time when the elders of the Zante pack were forcing every unattached male to find a mate -- a female mate -- J.C. found Brad's aversion to settling down refreshing and completely understandable.
"I have twenty-nine days," J.C. whispered, trying to ignore Brad's thick erection pressing against his back. "Twenty-nine days to choose one of the pack females to become Zante's next Queen."
"So that's what's bothering you? The elders have given us ultimatums before."
J.C. ran a hand through his hair. "Not like this. Ever since... the accident, they've been relentless." He still couldn't utter his father's and older brother's names without his voice breaking. "If I don't take part in a proper mating ceremony by the next full moon, they're likely to hand the entire pack over to the Kölen Alpha."
Brad slid his hands over J.C.'s hips to palm his cock through the confining material of his jeans. Despite the anxiety burning in his chest, J.C.'s dick stirred and hardened under his friend's expert touch. "They wouldn't do that."
"Maybe not," J.C. agreed. "But I'd just as soon not find out."
The Zanteans had been struggling to remain united for almost two decades. Offspring were increasingly rare in unions between mated pack members, and there hadn't been a male pup born in almost twelve years. Morale was at an all time low. Lately, pack members had been abandoning their heritage and choosing to align themselves with the Kölens instead -- a rival pack that made no secret of the fact they were stronger, more loyal to one another, and could continue to produce young.
"Then why not just choose a mate and get it over with?" Brad suggested, rubbing the heel of his palm up and down J.C.'s shaft. "There are plenty of females who'd do anything to be your mate."
J.C.'s chuckle held no humor. "Right. Because becoming Queen of a broken, dispirited pack is such an honor."
Brad moved with feral grace to stand in front of J.C. The smirk was gone. He quirked a single blond eyebrow upward, and J.C. found himself instantly on the defensive. "The Zanteans are a good pack."
"I didn't mean to imply we weren't. What's left of us are, at any rate. But we can't go on like this. My brother should have been the pack's alpha, not me. He'd prepared for the role his entire life. And my father still had decades before he had to step down. Either one of them would have done a better job leading the pack through these difficult times." His voice turned bitter. "I can't even choose a mate."
"Your brother and father were royalty, and so are you." Brad kneeled, pulling down J.C.'s zipper as he dropped to the floor. "But if you want a mate, you're in the wrong place. You won't find one here."
"Good." J.C. pushed his jeans and silk boxers over his hips, freeing his cock. He shifted his hips, thrusting his rod forward to nudge Brad's lips. "Because I don't want a mate. All the pack's females are either already mated, or interested only in the idea of being Queen. I want a lover who'll accept me as I am, flaws and all. Such a female doesn't exist."
Brad didn't answer. He didn't have to. His mouth spoke volumes without uttering a word.
