Synopsis (Goodreads):

He’s violent, volatile, and loves a good fight. She’s small and sweet—and everything he craves. But can he make her his without hurting her?

Thargen wanders the sprawling Undercity streets with one goal—a drink. Well, maybe a few drinks and a good old-fashioned bar fight to let off some steam. But the moment he sees Yuri working behind the bar, he’s overwhelmed by a new desire—her.

Yuri is his opposite in so many ways—delicate, soft, beautiful—and he knows the primal, uncontrollable rage in his heart makes it too dangerous for him to have her. But he wants her. He needs her.

And when an unexpected series of events sees them stranded on a hostile, unknown planet together, it becomes almost impossible for him to resist her. Lost on a mountainside teeming with ravenous skeks, Thargen must rely upon his survival skills and the ferocity burning at his core to protect Yuri until they can get back home.

But who will protect her from him?

Thoughts on Savage Desire: I must say that while I've enjoyed all the books in this series (Arthos is seriously whacked and I appreciate that in the biggest way) AND all the couples who've found their HEAs, Thargen just miiiiiight be my favorite. He's just so...unhinged at times. In a good way. He has berserker rage and strength and a patented inability to see when the odds just might be overwhelming. And he absolutely doesn't see himself as being mate-material.

Ha. Yeah. Yuri doesn't see him in the same light. She trusts him from the first and when they're person-napped and held captive, things only deepen. She KNOWS Thargen won't hurt her and he'll do everything in his power to keep her safe. Plus, the fact that he's a hunk with a wicked sense of self doesn't hurt.

We didn't spend a whole lot of time in Arthos this time, but Thargen's crazed battle-rage and getting to see a much softer side of him more than made up for it. Like I said, he miiiiiight be my favorite. (It's hard to say for certain since all these crazy characters work for me in one way or another.)

A lot of blood (poor Yuri!), a few new faces, a lot of familiar faces, sexy times while on the run, and a battle-rage enhanced Thargen. GOOD STUFF ALL AROUND.
