REVIEW - SAVAGE by Anna Ray


Tall, dangerous, and heartbreakingly handsome Callum O'Daire is a fantasy in the flesh.  The darling of Boston society and the king Boston's underworld and Hazel despises him.

He killed her brother.  The only clue she has is left to her by her brother and it led her here to this high society party held at Callum's mansion.  Only he thinks she's a party favor.  As if!

She looks like an angel with long lustrous hair and legs for days, but Hazel was right about her brother's death being is his fault.  As sure as if he had personally put a gun to his head or pushed in the heroin syringe.

He hated the Brentwood family and it was kind of twisted to be buddies with the son of the man who killed his father.  He willingly got sunk into the underground mire Callum was used to.  It was twisted that Callum watched as Sammy sank deeper and deeper in drugs until he finally ODed.

I loved this book!  It is very well written and drew me into the story from page one.  The characters are all very complex - from Callum, his best friend Damon, Hazel and even Phoenix.

I think this line in the book perfectly describes Callum - "Danger and violence dressed in a three-piece suit."  Callum pulled himself out of the life he was born into to become the biggest investor in Boston.  He didn't need guns, he destroyed men where it hurt - their wallets.

Hazel was raised in a loving home with privilege, but she still had the need to find her birth mother to see where she came from despite the pain it was costing her parents.  And she will continue being a pain in Callum's a$$ until he gives her the information she wants.

This book is action-packed and shrouded in mystery.  Callum and Hazel are both looking for answers and nothing is as it seems and her dead brother seems to be stringing them along from the grave.

The chemistry between Callum and Hazel is electric from the moment they lay eyes on each other.  Even though they hate each other, both for their own reasons they can't seem to get enough of each other.  And despite what Callum wants everyone to believe you knew his true character in how he treated Killer.

I really loved this story and how the storyline unfolded.  The author gives a huge clue throughout this book and it was only until I had that "ah-ha" moment that things started falling in place.  Highly recommend!
