Book Description
Scarred. Overlooked. Tainted.
Born into the ruthless underworld, I’ve been cast aside. I’m locked in a cage of lies and betrayal, now framed for a crime I didn’t commit.
But then he came for me.
Ollie Romanov, the savage enforcer, believes I’m a traitor.
He’s ruthless, merciless, and prepared to make me pay for my sins.
To him, I’m nothing more than a pawn to punish. A traitor to be broken.
Yet beneath the cold, brutal exterior, I see something more—a darkness that calls to my own.
I shouldn’t crave the twisted connection we share. I swear the man has no conscience…
Except when it comes to me.
Have I married a heartless monster? A psychopath?
Or has this Savage finally found his match in me?
About Jane Henry
My Thoughts
Jane Henry's "Savage," brought to life by the captivating narration of Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross, is an audiobook experience that plunges you into the gritty heart of the underworld with a visceral intensity. The opening description – "Scarred. Overlooked. Tainted" – perfectly sets the stage for a story of survival, suspicion, and a connection forged in the darkest of circumstances.
From the outset, you feel the weight of the heroine's isolation and vulnerability. Framed for a crime she didn't commit and cast aside by the ruthless world she was born into, her desperation is palpable. Then enters Ollie Romanov, the "savage enforcer," voiced with a chilling conviction that immediately establishes his formidable presence. Kennicott and Ross masterfully portray the initial dynamic: Ollie's unwavering belief in her guilt and his merciless intent to make her pay.
The dual narration is a significant strength of this audiobook. Kennicott embodies the heroine's fear, resilience, and burgeoning defiance with a nuanced performance. Ross, as Ollie, delivers a voice that is both menacing and surprisingly textured, hinting at the complexities beneath his brutal exterior. The alternating perspectives, seamlessly woven together by their distinct voices, draw you deeper into the psychological battle between these two characters.
The description highlights the central conflict: Ollie sees her as a traitor, a pawn to be punished. Yet, the heroine perceives something more beneath his coldness – "a darkness that calls to my own." This intriguing duality is expertly conveyed through the narration, allowing listeners to sense the subtle shifts in their dynamic even as they clash. The internal conflict of craving a "twisted connection" with a man who sees her as an enemy is brought to life with compelling emotional depth.
The question posed – "Have I married a heartless monster? A psychopath? Or has this Savage finally found his match in me?" – perfectly encapsulates the central tension of the story. The audiobook excels at building this suspense, leaving you constantly questioning Ollie's true nature and the potential for a genuine connection to bloom amidst the danger and distrust.
"Savage" is not a gentle listen. It's a raw and gritty journey through a world where survival is paramount and trust is a luxury. However, the compelling characters, the high stakes, and the exceptional narration by Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross make it an immersive and ultimately captivating audiobook experience. If you enjoy dark romance with complex characters and a narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat, "Savage" is a compelling choice.
