Book Review: Savage (The Savage Series Book 1) - Eliza David
Synopsis:
Laney Townes of the Cougarette series is back with her own adventures in business and pleasure! When CeeCee Banks announces her plans to leave her post at Chronicles to pursue her motivational speaking career full-time, Laney is counting on her best friend to hand over the reins of the non-profit to her – finally fulfilling her lifelong CEO dream. That is, until CeeCee’s new hire, Alex Esteban, shows up. Alex, the fifty something president of his own corporate management consulting firm, locks horns with the resistant Laney as he attempts a reorganization of Chronicles. Between managing the seesaw of her friends with benefits relationship with law professor Jess and co-parenting her daughter Izzy with her ex-wife Roxy, the last thing Laney needs is Alex taking her chance at the top seat out from under her. When Chronicles’ dismal annual report is released, the two Alphas set aside their differences to work together to keep the organization afloat. Laney and Alex slowly begin to find common ground and get along well. Too well… In this sexy first installment of the Laney series, we find out if our favorite lady-loving BFF is ready to give up her legendary gold-star lesbian status for a chance at love with Alex – a man just as savage in the boardroom (and bedroom) as she is.
My Rating: ★★★★
My Thoughts:
This book was a little different than the normal books that I read yet was intriguing. Laney fights against her attraction to a man that has now been thrown into working side by side with her, her equal, because she feels that she is not “straight”. Laney’s constant conflict with identity makes this book a good read. The plot was unique and the book was well written. There are times in the book that you smile and other times you just want to snack the silliness out of the characters. Overall this book was a pleasant read and I am definitely curious to see how book 2 will play out.
