Enhance your purchase
They had one perfect day together, then he tiptoed out of her life in the dead of night.
Now he’s back, and his savage secret threatens their second chance.
Months later, he seeks me out with an unconventional offer: He’d like to take me and my dog for a walk.
My lazy dog could use the exercise, and I could use something to distract me from the pain of my sister’s death. Jake’s bad puns, gorgeous smile, and protective nature turn out to be the perfect medicine for my injured soul.
But just like the day we met, that one date turns into so much more. And as Jake and I grow closer, it becomes difficult to separate his pain from my own.
All I want is to share the burden of his secret. But some truths are too savage to be spoken.
Savage Love is a new steamy, emotional stand-alone romance from New York Times bestselling author Cassia Leo. This book deals with sensitive subject matter. Due to graphic scenes and strong language, reader discretion is advised.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive issues.
Told in three parts, and from dual first person perspectives (Jake and Colette) SAVAGE LOVE follows the building romance and relationship between twenty –two year old Colette Baker, and twenty-four year old bartender / grad student Jake Maxwell. Colette Baker lost everything the day of her twenty-second birthday but ghosted by her one-night stand ‘Max’ added more hurt to her already broken and seriously hung-over heart. Fast forward four months wherein Max will seek out our story line heroine hoping to pursue a relationship but Max refuses to reveal why he disappeared, and in the ensuing weeks to months Max continues to keep secrets that force our heroine to reconsider everything and more.
Jake Maxwell’s attraction to Colette was immediate and visceral but Jake’s life imploded the night he met our story line heroine. Four months would pass before Jake is able to seek out the woman he met while tending bar but Jake’s secrets and lies are meant to protect everyone he has ever loved. Colette Baker got good and drunk the night of her twenty-second birthday, and thought she found a sympathetic and compassionate heart in Max, the bartender who became her guardian and protector on that fateful night but Max’s secrets and lies would continue to grow, leaving our heroine wondering about what happened and why.
The relationship between Colette and Max is one of immediate attraction that began the day and night both suffered horrific losses. Max refuses to talk about what happened, lying by omission in an effort to protect not only the woman with whom he is falling in love but the only person who survived that fateful night. Colette found herself falling for a man she did not know, and when the truth is revealed, our heroine is blindsided but the vitriol and accusations of immense pain and suffering. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
The colorful cast of secondary and supporting characters include Colette’s parents Ryan and Cyndi Baker; her best friends Dahlia and Anissa; Max’s sister Frankie, and his friends Diego, Kev and Nate. Frankie’s story line is next in Broken Love.
SAVAGE LOVE is a raw and emotional story of heart break and passion; a haunting story of tragedy and loss, forgiveness and love. The premise is impassioned and dramatic ; the romance is provocative and intense; the characters are broken, tragic and inspiring.

Being in the right place at the right time or whether is was meant to be or not doesn’t really matter... this is what happened to Colette it was a moment in time that ended up becoming so much more but unknowingly there were consequences early on that we knew nothing of... but would do so latter down the line and would put their relationship to the test.
Savage Love is Colette and Jakes beautiful journey... their love for each other battles loss, grief, sorrow, trust but in the end it was all meant to be, that one night 11 years ago sad as it was for Colette bought her to Jake... Elle had a hand in that!
Cassia leo writes beautifully and there are some very touching and emotional moments Jake knows exactly the right words to make you swoon and the build up to the ending and the epilogue were perfectly wonderful!
Looking forward to Frankie’s story Broken Love
