"A nonstop thrill ride filled with action and steam that will leave you begging for more"
Regan Thomas is Sydney's leading animal physiotherapist;
she is also a strong animal rights advocate. When Regan
plans a lab raid into Epoc Industries Scientific Division,
she gets more than what she bargained for. Regan witnesses
animals in all conditions. The poor creatures have various
tubes connected to them with fluids being drawn from their
weak, frail bodies. Regan approaches a german shepherd in
dire need of medical attention, but soon her eyes are drawn
to a massive wolf who's been subjected to this brutal
torture as well. Regan, bound and determined to stop this madness, tries to
set all the animals free. Her attempts are soon thwarted as
Epoc's men bust into the lab. She has no choice but to
fight and make a run for her life. With every fiber of her
being she fights the men and just when things are starting
to look a little rough for Regan, the wolf escapes his
cage. Blood curdling screams are the much needed
distraction to get Regan out the back entry gate she came
in. Filled with sorrow and grief that the lab raid was a bust,
Regan calls it a night. After a brief slumber Regan finds
the wolf from the lab lying on her sofa. Regan feels that
something is just not right about the beast. Just then he
morphs into a delicious male right before her eyes. After a seemly unbelievable warning from the werewolf
Declan, she calls her brother Peter, who is a detective.
But her call is soon cut short; Declan knocks her out, so
he can take her to safety. Scared for his sister, when the
phone call ends abruptly, Peter and his new partner set out
to find Regan and the man that captured her. Once Regan finally accepts the fact Declan is a werewolf
and witnesses a battle between Declan and McCoy, Epoc's
beta, Regan realizes since she broke into the lab and saw
the results of Epoc's experiments, she is now at risk. She
also begins to believe everything Declan explained to her
about Nathan Epoc's evil plan to suck the animals' life
force out of their bodies so he can become a stronger, more
unstoppable werewolf. On the run with Declan, Regan soon realizes she's falling
for him. While in hiding Declan and Regan have very hot and
very intense sex. After an interesting ending, Declan
reveals information about his now dead sister Maggie and
McCoy. With Epoc's pack hot on Declan and Regan's trail, and
Peter's determination to find his sister, the adventure
begins. Will Peter ever see his sister again? Can Declan
keep his new love safe or will she end up suffering the
same fate as his sister? Lexxie Couper's Savage Retribution is an action packed
thrill ride. This story had me on the edge of my seat;
start to finish. This story is so strong and well thought
out, and the heat between Declan and Regan will have
romance readers begging for more. I had a wonderful time
reading this story. Lexxie Couper can add another fan to
her list.
