Savage #1
Savage Hunger
The man who vows to protect her may be her biggest threat.
Savage, Book 1
Being the daughter of a world-renowned scientist, Sienna Peters has struggled to carve out her own career in the field. But her world is sent spinning when she discovers a secret species being held in the lab where she works, and the horrible things being done to them. Compelled to do more than hand off an information-packed jump drive to her father, she sets out to free the creatures.
The minute his team enters the compound, federal agent Warrick Donovan knows their mission will have more trouble than they bargained on. Unfortunately, trouble comes in the form of Sienna Peters, the younger sister of his close friend. Now not only does he need to save her pretty ass, he needs to discover just how involved she is with the imprisonment of the shifters.
Sienna knows she should trust no one—not even the man she might still love. But as the danger escalates and past passion ignites, her heart has other ideas. Even when the shroud of mystery is ripped off more than one stunning truth…
Product Warnings
Must love alpha males, be intrigued by federal agents who may or may not shift into wolves, and most importantly be prepared for intense action of the dangerous and sexual kind.

This book has a cool cover (that really doesn't represent the book at all), but that's about it. I suppose a lot of it comes down to personal preferences in the books we read, but this one made me grind my teeth. Everything from odd uses of male and feminine as descriptors. For example: "...but instead a surge of confidence at the feminine awareness in her eyes." What the hell is "feminine awareness?" Or when the characters say, "I love the way you feel,” she murmured. “So hard. So…male.” Which was why they worked well together. Why, because he's a man and she's a woman? Is that really all it takes to fit together? Remind me to grab the next man that passes me on the street, then. To the fact that as soon as they had sexy-time for the first time, Warrick was all of a sudden "baby" this and "baby" that was annoying.
But mostly, I didn't like the fact that I was bored silly for most of the book. Seriously, it was a fairly consistent pattern of 5-6 pages (or some similarly long time) of angsty, "I want him/her, but can't have her/him blah, blah, blah," a paragraph or two of plot-related action, another series of pages about how sexy Sierra is or Warrick is or how they wished they could be together or not. All multiplied by about a million.
Plus, there's just no joy here. Every-time the characters engage in anything that should be a moment of bliss--sex or cuddles or basic kindness--it is immediately followed a fight, anger and mooooore angst (mostly because Warrick is a total jerk). This left no light moments.
Also, the plot is really pretty weak in general. I mean, Sierra is hunted by the organization for having a jump drive that proves their nefarious deeds (and "jump drive" is used about a 1,000 times, BTW). Sure, OK. But then it turns out the whole thing is legal--contracts are signed, etc. So, why hunt her down at all? What's more, the big bad guy is just some random person who plays no real role in the book, you never get to know, and whose motives are never disclosed. Meh.
Plus, everyone acts like Sierra is soooo stubborn to not give up the information she has. But a highly trained, hardened para-military group pretty much just politely asked her to tell them and then backed off when she said, "No." What? Really? So unbelievable.
Lastly, and just as important as the boredom, is the basic predictability of it all. At 50% through, I posted a status update that said, "So, we all know how this is going to wrap up and end, right? Right." And I did. Everything worked out just the way I expected it to.
For those readers who love a story that is almost entirely based on two people working their angsty out, drooling over one another, and moving toward sex, this is a good book for you. For those who need a little more plot or who have a low BS tolerance, maybe not. The mechanical writing and editing were all fine, one way or the other, though.

This story reminded me a bit of Lora Leigh's Breed series but this one had a few twists and turns that were really surprising. I really did not like the h. She came off as an annoying brat instead of an adult. The H was ok but nothing to brag about. The memory erasing thing bothered me because at first she doesn't want it, then she is being forced to have it, then she wants it. It really took me out of the story and was unnecessary. There were a lot of names to remember which made it difficult to follow. This was an ok read but not enough to make me read the rest of the series.

An amazing plot, that will keep you guessing from beginning to end! So many unexpected twists and turns, outstanding characters, good and evil, human and shifters, and lots of love! Love of father and daughter, man and woman, love of friends, love will always triumph! Good wins, when betrayal and greed collide! When trying to wrap up lose ends, could cause the death of the victim or the villain!

This book just pop up out of nowhere in goodread and after seeing the cover, I just have to read it. After I'm done with the book, I felt that the cover don't really represent the book. I thought I will get something like 'Hitman' or 'MIB', since in the cover the lead character had the same posing and all. But is not.
Savage Hunger started in the middle of action with Sienna trying to free the prisoners in the lab that she worked in. Meanwhile, Warrick and his team also being assigned to the same task as well. Sienna and Warrick are both childhood friend who had not seen each other for many years. She's his best friend's sister. She had a crush on his all those years ago, but he didn't take her up on it. We learned about his reason and what he had to sacrifice if he decided to be with her.
The mystery was surrounding the lab experimenting on the shifter and Warrick's team trying to find the person responsible and also finding the antidote to cure the people. The story have a few twist and turn that you didn't see it coming. That provided me with some element of surprise. But I felt that in the middle, it lost some steam. I felt that the author spent too much page time on the safe house with the gang without nothing major going on. After Sienna and Warrick got hook up in the middle, I kinda lost interest in them. I will try out the Book 2 Savage Betrayal featuring one of Warrick's teammate and see how it goes.

Next book in this series please, I am so going to love it. Sienna that girl is not a shy thing, she has some brass balls and isn't afraid to tell you how she feels, "but you can eff whomever strikes your fancy in the meant time. Human, shifter, or whatever else might be out there," she replied bluntly. Crudely. And felt his reaction as his erection jerked against her panties." I mean the girl has no damn filter, "yes. You totally freaked out at my lack of experience, destroying the possibility of it's being a casual, one-time thing. Well, forgive me and my va**na for not being a revolving door to the male population!" She may has some brass balls but she doesn't like to flaunt them, "oh my God!" Sienna gasped and slammed the bathroom door again, yelling, "Warrick, next time a little warning that we're not alone before you let me walk out in a towel, okay?" As I said next book please.

The style of the writing is pretty good,
The star is for my personal experience..
Its gag worthy, i found myself skipping pages, well its just me who wasn't in the mood for 'intense attraction' 'stupid impulsive crybaby heroine' and 'oh we have communication issue' and another 'i cant trust you yet i desire you' theme

Sienna finds out her job is not what she thought and tries to make amends. Suddenly she has been brought into a world that she didn’t know existed and she is now back in the company of Warrick.
Sienna has been in love with her brother’s best friend forever but except from one single kiss nothing has happened.
This is a great book about rekindling romance, saving lives and willing to make decisions that could take everything from you, but at the same time give you everything you would ever need.
This is a great 5 star book!

I really like the way the shifters are described within this series. The world building is so interesting. The villian was hard to figure out. The mystery and the action are well done. Sienna and Warrick each have a fully filled background. The secondary characters add meaning and thought to the story. I hope we get more stories from the secondary characters. There is angst in this story with the drama and a bit of sadness. 4 5 Shinning stars.

Sienna and Warrick have known each other since they were young. She always loved him, but it morphed into something more as she grew older. Warrick could never date his best friend’s little sister, but after years of being apart, they are thrown together by circumstances. He struggled to stay away from her and she struggled to get closer. They definitely have chemistry.
It took him a while, but they find their way.

Secrets, lies, and love
Shelli Stevens has created a contemporary world where the preternatural exists alongside the human world, mostly unseen and unknown. And into this world she drops two strong, stubborn, and sexy characters who have known each other almost all of their lives but each has secrets that threaten the fierce attraction growing between them. Savage Hunger is a great read, and I'll be buying the next book in the series immediately.

It's the first book in a shifter series and boy, is it a rollercoaster ride! It's all about an alpha protector who can't help but be possessive and a woman whose world has been totally flipped upside down. Turns out, there's a whole new world that Sienna never even knew existed and now she's on the run!.

Good book loved the story line felt like a new twist/concept for a shifter series. but also felt like they shoved so much at the end that it ended almost abruptly so much packed into the last few pages.

I really enjoyed this book. the action gripping and the characters intense. I loved that they still held onto to their childhood love for each other it made their reunion that much more passionate.

Every time I think I'm over werewolves and shape shifters someone drags me back into that world and reminds me that I need to own my guilty pleasures.
This time it was author Shelli Stevens. Her big-bads were the good guys... and they were delicious!
I loved that she managed to tie in the theme of racial inequality with the paranormal with full blooded weres looking down on "half-breeds". It made these mythical creatures that much more real and easy to get attached to.
WARNING: Do not read in public unless you do not embarrass easily when you find yourself drooling and panting over the chemistry between Sienna and Warrick. Hot stuff ahead!

Savage Hunger introduces us to Warrick Donovan and his team of PIA (Preternatural Investigation Agency) agents. He and his team are on a mission to free captive shifters when he spots Sienna Peters, his childhood best friend's younger sister, traipsing around the compound in an evening gown. Sienna has only just learned that the lab she works for, in hopes of putting her biochemist degree to use, is experimenting/torturing shifters. Not only is her employer's behavior a shock, but even more so is the knowledge that shifters exist. Not really knowing what she can do, she knows she must try to free the captives. Before she can reach them, however, Warrick "takes her into custody".
Warrick is suspicious of her motives and knowledge of the experiments while Sienna is equally suspicious of him and his team. She's been told that no one can be trusted. But, Warrick was her childhood crush and though she hasn't seen him in six years, her feelings for him haven't changed. These two work in tandem with the PIA team to learn more about what has been done to the shifters, how to correct it, who's responsible and most importantly, who can be trusted with the information.
I enjoyed this book so much! I decided to read the first chapter, just to test the waters and ended up reading it in one sitting. I loved Warrick. The cover of the book is smokin' and did wonders for the imagination while reading. Sienna's reaction to her new reality was believable. I will definitely be continuing the series. As this was the first book I've read by Shelli Stevens, I will also keep my eyes out for other books of hers.

"Savage Hunger" by Shelli Stevens is book one of her `Savage' series and features Sienna Peters as she discovers that her company is hiding frightening and barbaric experiments that involve shape-shifting beings. Warrick Donovan definitely does not expect to discover the younger sister of his friend interfering with his hostage rescue mission. His work for the Preternatural Investigation Agency (PIA) is loosely associated with the government and is designed to limit human knowledge of shifters as well as regulate the shifter community itself. Sienna desperately wants to trust the man whom she knew in her childhood but is unsure whether she can reveal the information that someone may be willing to murder in order to retrieve. The strong attraction to each other that was suppressed in their past complicates Warrick's investigation of Sienna's involvement as his heart wars with the expectations of his employers and superiors. Sienna's own heritage is more intertwined with the shifters than she realizes and the revelations get more and more startling as she realizes that her world and her place in it will never be the same.
An entertaining paranormal read that presents a group of dedicated individuals who are trying to protect both humans and the non-humans who share the world. There are a few intriguing surprises that are thrown in to solve apparently insurmountable problems. The heroine is a bit inconsistent for my tastes and the relationship between the members of the PIA is not as balanced as would be expected for those who depend on each other for their very lives but the overall story is an entertaining and sensual read.

I haven't read a paranormal book in quite a while. I've come across other things that have peaked my interest but this was a good one to ease me back into paranormal.
We have a story about shifters that focuses on shifters but doesn't have all that much shifting. A lot of "shifts" used, i know. This is focused on the treatment if wolf shifters and how these characters are working to free and save them.
Sienna has gotten herself in some trouble and Warrick, a childhood friend, knows all about it. Seeing as it's his job. When the two reunite after years its due to some shady activity going down at Sienna's work.
Warrick has always been attracted to Sienna but never did anything about it because of what he is. Sienna never knew this, only that he was a jerk about how he turned her down.
While they are reacquainting themselves they also have to deal with the danger that is following Sienna and the other wolves around.
I enjoyed the easiness of this read. I liked the growing relationship between two people who already had a history. I could have done with less naive girl actions though. Some was kind of hard to swallow when things seemed to be common sense. Other than that little tidbit, this was enjoyable.

This is a book that was hard to put down. The author was very good at getting you to connect with the main character. The stresses that the main character goes through had me on edge throughout the book. Not knowing who could be trusted had me setting down the book and taking a couple of deep breaths.
So that said, my observations:
1) Sienna's struggle with who to trust and the decisions that she came to, seemed reactionary instead of well thought through as in a lot of books. I though this was done well to show that she is not a strategic thinker, a "warrior", just an average person trying to do the right thing. For me, it made it easier to connect to the main character and placed me in her place adding to the suspense of what was going to happen next.
2) Warrick is your typical alpha male. Not much surprise in that department, but I do enjoy reading about strong male characters.
3) The surprise with her father was a bit heart-wrenching.
4) The ending I thought was on the predictable side, but I don't mind because I do like and appreciate happy endings.
Again, an enjoyable and fast-passed book.

5 out of 5 Licks
This book sucked me in from the first sentence! I couldn't put it down until I was finished (and this is no novella)! And I freaking loved it!! Sienna just wants to help the poor people trapped in the facility she worked for she had no idea the true dangers that lurk behind the door. Warrick had no idea he would run into Sienna when he was on his mission to free the shifters. He's known her for quite sometime and seeing her right then wasn't exactly what he was hoping for. After Sienna sees the shifters he knows he can't let her go. Her memory should be wiped so she doesn't remember but he finds that he really wants her to remember. I don't want to go into too much detail because there are so many secrets in this one. There is some serious loving and some serious drama at the end. I loved, loved, loved this book and I can't freaking wait for the next one.

Shelved as 'dnf'
August 12, 2014Seems to be hitting all of the usual shifter tropes (many of which I don't care for to begin with) without really doing much to explore them. For once it's the male protagonist who hits my TSTL button--there was no reason the female protagonist should have been able to conceal a cell phone or flash drive from a team of professional law enforcement people (who are also shifters!) for more than a minute. And yet when I finally quit reading around the 50% mark, they still hadn't found the flash drive because she'd hidden it in a box of tampons and men just won't go there, even when lives are on the line. I'm pretty sure that I myself am more badass than the studs in this book, and I have a Personal Badass Quotient of exactly zero.

Sienna Peters and Warrick Donovan have been acquainted for years. Warrick’s best friend Daniel is Sienna’s older brother. Warrick has resisted the beautiful Sienna for years, knowing she’s too good for the likes of him…
Shelli Stevens’s SAVAGE HUNGER is the first in a shifter series, and is a fast-paced story with possessive alpha protector and a woman whose previously orderly world has just been turned upside down. Sienna’s been made aware of a world she didn’t even know existed, and suddenly is on the run. While she desperately wants to trust Warrick, it’s clear mainly that there is very little she can trust at all.

Shelli Stevens’s SAVAGE HUNGER is the first in a shifter series, and is a fast-paced story with possessive alpha protector and a woman whose previously orderly world has just been turned upside down. Sienna’s been made aware of a world she didn’t even know existed, and suddenly is on the run. While she desperately wants to trust Warrick, it’s clear mainly that there is very little she can trust at all.

Sienna actually saved her own life in the end, not her prince on a white horse, Warrick.
And I knew that Quinton is her father from the place where he questioned her on that path to the river.
And I pretty much suspected that either Agents Rafferty or Larson were the traitor, more Rafferty, though.
And when I started this book I didn't know it was about shapeshifters so it was a suprise, because I thought that it'd just be about some kick-ass agent falling for a helpless heroine. So I was pleased to find out that Sienna isn't that helpless after all. She has got some guts :D
