I’ve never heard of a romance meet cute involving a vicious polar bear attack. 🤣 🐻‍❄️

Rule to all authors: once the hero and heroine of a romance are introduced to each other and meet, do NOT put the hero in bed with literally anyone else besides the heroine.

It's the equivalent of throwing your book in the trash bin if you do.

I really enjoyed this book and the others in the savage series, I recommend it for a great read!

Probably one of the worst ones Cassie Edwards’ has written. Granted she follows the same formula for her storytelling, this one left me feeling nothing for either protagonist. Things take a turn for the disappointing in the middle of the book and the conclusion just drags on, leaving the book on a very uninteresting note.

Savage Promise is the book that catapulted me into becoming the reader I am today. What I love most about Cassie's books is that she uses Native American words so much through out her books. They even prompted me to order language tapes on learning Chippewa.

An awesome read for a weekend with no plans.
