To say Regan Thomas is an animal lover
would be an understatement. An animal activist, Regan is
willing to risk her own hide if it means one less animal
will experience the cruelty of companies using them for
research. Her latest escapade should have been a simple in
and out adventure: release the animals and get out of there
ASAP. Finding the largest wolf she’d ever seen was only the
beginning to a night of mishaps which resulted in the events
that would forever change her life. Declan O’Connell is a
lone werewolf, having lost his clan, friends and worst of
all his family his quest for revenge against the wolf
responsible is something he lives to see. Declan never
counted on the interference of the Regan and the knowledge
that only he can prevent her from experiencing the pain of
wolfen enemy as he and Regan try to outrun the wolf willing
to harm and main anything in the name of science and
revenge.
Having read some of Lexxie Couper’s earlier books I was
salivating at the thought of picking up her latest
paranormal offering. Savage Retribution is a
story staring an Irish werewolf and a feisty human that
seems to hunt out trouble at every turn. Staying true to its
name Lexxie Couper provided an awe inspiring tale of a
growing love marred by a brutal enemy intent on eradicating
Declan and willing to use his love for Regan to do it. The
villain in the story, Epoc is one I’m sure readers will be
slow to forget, vile and maniacal, his attempts to use
Declan and other beings in his quest to create a super
werewolf made him a creature that was easy to hate. As I
would expect from the woman who brought us the kick-butt
series Shifting Lust, Lexxie brought the heat with
tons of action, dramatic events and loves scenes that set
fire to the seat of your pants. What really made this story
shine is the heroine Regan, for all that she went through
her tough spirit refused to be squashed, willing to take on
the bad guys at every turn she was a perfect match for her
wolfen lover. I’m sure readers who enjoy their stories laced
with dramatic flair will find Savage Retribution
is just what they were looking for. |
