Voyeur #3
Savior: Bienvenue au Club Voyeur #3
Il m’a achetée, mais pas pour profiter de moi, de mon corps. Il m’a achetée pour me sauver, et expier des péchés passés.
Beau et mystérieux, il débarque pour m’offrir une nouvelle vie, mais il est loin d’être un chevalier en armure étincelante. Il est froid, hermétique, endurci par son passé. Pourtant il y a un brasier sous cette glace, je le ressens chaque fois qu’il me regarde, chaque fois qu’il cède au désir qui nous unit.
Peu importe comme je le pousse à libérer le feu dans ses yeux, il me repousse toujours plus fort. Il est sans pitié avec ses mots cruels, me disant à quel point je suis naïve, à quel point je ne sais rien de ce monde.
Mais je suis plus forte qu’il ne le pense.
Lorsque nous affronterons nos démons du passé, je prouverai lequel d’entre nous avait finalement besoin d’être sauvé, et lequel d’entre nous est le sauveur.

AND THANKS FOR BRINGING US AN A-HOLE HERO!
Stand-alone.

Blurb:
Book Blurb:
He bought me, but not to touch or taste. He bought me to save me, and to atone for past sins.
Handsome and mysterious, he swoops in to offer me a new life, but this is no knight in shining armor. He’s cold, hardened by his past. But there’s an inferno underneath the ice, I can feel the heat each time he looks at me—each time he gives in to the desire between us.
No matter how much I push to unleash the fire in his eyes, he shoves back harder each time. He’s merciless with his cruel words, telling me how naïve I am, how little I know of the world.
But I’m stronger than he thinks.
When we face down our demons from the past, I’ll prove which one of us was in need of saving, and which one of us is the savior.

There are too many scenes in the beginning where Erik (H) were doing “things” to OW in order to push Alexandra (h) away.
H deliberately made h hear him have sex with OW, H deliberately made h see him “touching” OW, and H deliberately made h see him getting a bj from OW... yeah, it was disgusting.
Unfortunately, how the H treated the h in the beginning just made him irredeemable in my eyes. He was sweet and caring when they were finally together and when they became a couple, all this OW shit never came up ever again. It was like it never happened. They never even discussed it and I don’t even think the H apologized.
I get the H is an "alpha-hole" but he was honestly just a plain asshole who couldn't handle the fact he was attracted to the h so, in order for him to stop his feelings, he deliberately hurt her too many times by shoving his OW sexcapades on h's face. What's worse is that he was all cocky about it and NEVER felt remorseful or apologetic. It's like a competition for him. He did feel guilty for a second but then when he saw h kissing another OM, he planned the h to walk in on him getting a bj from OW. So... he could do things to other OW but when the h ONLY kisses OM, it's suddenly the worst thing ever. Okay.
How could I ever swoon for this asshole?

An age gap romance that will have you wanting more of Erik and Alexandra's sassy attitude...
I have read one book by Fiona, and it did not go as I was expecting. But thankfully I ddid not miss out on this baby because I fell in love with the insta-love Erik has with Alexandra. The possessive yet alpha male that is Erik had me melting for much more of his strong attitude. Alexandra is another individual whom I actually truly did admire. The fact that she came from the very bottom pits, she made it to the top with the help of Erik.
I am keeping this review very short, but I want to make sure the message is sent out. This is an age gap romance that you really don't want to miss to on. It's not a safe romance that's for sure but I still enjoyed it much more than what I was expecting. So make sure to grab your own copy now available on KU, and the cover in general will have you drooling ;)

"Holding her, I felt like a giant. Like I could carry the world on my shoulders and I’d happily do it if she could feel safe again. I felt like more of a man than ever before in my life. All because this young woman had been traumatized and was still able to find solace in my arms..."

Um... ew. Lol. I don’t know. This isn’t up to my taste. The beginning was sooo promising, but how Erik and Alex interacted with each other pisses me off a lot.
Erik and Alex acted a lot like they were in high school. He tried his hardest to make her jealous, and they had this “was true!” “was not!” back and forth like they were fourth-graders. The author thought it was cute. It wasn’t.
He was so annoying too. Erik, you’re a 31-year-old man. Act like it. I can understand the childishness from Alexandra; how she acts like a petulant child, but Erik? What’s his excuse? He is so petty and his actions often comes off as irrational, almost like spur in the moment just to spite her like fucking this girl against his office door and got a BJ from the same girl because he knew Alex was watching outside. He purposely tried to hurt her... because he was attracted to her?
Um... lmaoo. That’s major red flags, girl.
Or when he kissed Alex just because she egged him on. Please. Aren’t you supposed to be some badass CEO or something? She was clearly manipulating you. Sometimes, she was more of a grown up that he was.
The first sex scene came out of nowhere as well. They lacked chemistry so that first smut scene fell short. I was just there laying in my bed scowling at my phone.
Now, Alexandra was somewhat annoying as well. She was very nosy and sometimes too irritating. She was also too naive to the point where I was like “Really, sis? You didn’t see that coming?” Lol. Maybe because she lacked experience about boys and relationships, but damn. He let her down a lot, but seemed to always be surprised when he bolted and run or did something disgusting to her.
And the fucking growling. Okay, we fucking get it. Eric is half werewolf. Kidding, of course, but damn. He growls a lot and it gives me headache from rolling my eyes every time I read it (which was a lot).
I don’t know. This book is just aren’t for me. I’m not feeling it, so it’s gonna be 3/10 worth the read from me.

3 Salvation Stars ⭐️
Savior is the story of Alexandra, a young woman struggling just to survive. Surrounded by a loser sister and her drugged boyfriend she is tired of starving and tired of just getting by.
In an act of desperation she auctions her virginity. Fortunately for her, the ad is intercepted by Erik who has his own motives for coming to her rescue.
It’s unfortunate but I truly disliked Erik. He was an asshole that took great pleasure in making Alexandra feel stupid because he couldn’t accept his attraction to her. Let’s just say he needs an STD test soonish....
This story could have gone down a much better path if Erik had actually behaved like a man instead of a toddler.
It pains me to write this review because I have read EVERY Fiona Cole novel, but I just struggled with this. As for Alexandra, I think the word ‘doormat’ is much to kind.

The two things I dislike most about any book are... "disrespectful acts from the hero and naive-spineless heroine". Unfortunately, I got both things here, and a few chapters really bug me more than others. Especially in the middle, when Erik used other women so many times to try to push Alexandra away. Nonetheless, she witnessed this toxic act and still normalises it. And that really gets on my nerves so much that I had to stop reading and try it again a few times. So yes, I struggled a lot with this one. A LOT!
However, I have to admit I liked the author's style of writing. Even the hot stuff was written very skillfully and plenty of things can be enjoyed on that side (you know what I mean). Sad to say, these were the only good points in the whole book.
Anyway, if anyone loves to read a steamy-slow-tease book without anything emotionally profound, great-character-based, or not excepting even a little bit of logical things, then this one is exactly for them.
TW⚠️: Drug abuse, physical assault, attempted rape, and also descriptions of human trafficking.

Nothing safe. The first chapter we read about H fucking a woman. Later when he already had feelings for h fucked another woman in his office and h was outside listen to everything. Not my cup of tea . Bye.

Savior is a little more on the dark side in the voyeur series. I will start this book is not for everyone. There are some triggers and ow drama.
Erik does what he can to take out sex trafficking. Alexandra is determined to make extra money to sell her virginity. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Luckily Erik sees the ad on the internet to intercept before anyone else contacted ta her.
Something about Alexandra Is drawn to Erik. He goes above his usual to help her. At the same time, he pushes her away.
It’s not cheating if they’re not together. However, he is an asshole who acted like a child.
My concern is he is an asshole for over fifty percent of the book. The double standard killed me when she was interested in someone else. The OW drama doesn’t usually bother me; the drama in this one is out of control.
My suggestion is I would have enjoyed this book more If the story was written a different path when he pushed her away.

As a Forbidden romance lover, I was more than excited to start this one. It had the intrigue that had me at a stand still, an undertone of danger and excitement, and let’s not forget the well known age gap that made me want to read this story even more.
Alexandra is officially at her lowest point in life. At nineteen years old, she’s had to deal with more than what most people would go through in a lifetime and yet, her strength and innocence is what has her pushing forward day after day. But everyone has a breaking point and Alex is no different. When a last minute decision changes the course of her future, life as she knows it will never be the same.
From the very beginning, Erik and Alexandra had an undeniable chemistry that had you rooting for them and I really liked that as readers, we felt it. But.. there was just something missing and I couldn’t for the life of me figure it out. I was not a fan of Erik in the beginning and he made me more than a bit stabby if I’m being honest. I hated the way he came across in certain scenes and I wanted nothing more than to throat punch him a few times. But with that being said, I do have to give him credit for redeeming himself a little and I enjoyed seeing that.
If you love a dirty talking alpha with sexy story that has a twist, then this one is for you.

Savior was a steamy and quick read. Alexandra and Erik sure had great sexually chemistry but when it came to the emotional aspect of their relationship I felt it lacked. I couldn’t feel a connection between them. It was mostly sexual.
The overall story was ok but I couldn’t connect with either Alexandra or Erik so it played a huge part in my enjoyment of the story. Savior sure knows how to deliver some very hot scenes and dirty talk and I enjoyed every moment of them.
The epilogue was so good because it tied Savior together with the other books in the Voyeur universe making me excited about Ian and Carina’s book. Cause with that ending I really need their story!

I really liked the story in this book but I HATED the H.
Eric was 31 years old and felt bad about having the hots for Alexandra, who was 19 and a virgin. So he would push her away by fucking other women! This was borderline cheating IMO, especially because he had fooled around with h a few times and knew that she had feelings for him. He also had feelings for her but kept pushing her away by literally doing other women… in front of her! It was gross!
One day he had his hands down her pants, the next day, he was getting a BJ from another girl and he arranged for h to walk in on it, then winked at her as he was balls deeps in another woman’s mouth! 🤢 🤮
If it was one incident, I could possibly forgive it, but it was literally the first 60% of the book and kept happening again and again! Then, something bad happened, which finally made Eric pull his head out of his ass and stop being a manwhore. But there were no apologies or grovelling, so I couldn’t forgive him!

4 Unsure to Sure 🌟
Amazing!! Fiona Cole made me fall in love with her characters once again. This book was by no means perfect, but it was a fun, sexy read.
I was only planning to give this book 3.5 stars due to Eric's annoying hot and cold attitude towards Alexandra in the beginning and some questionable decisions made by Alexandra, but the scene where Eric used cute notes to convince Alexandra to stay with him melted my heart and deserved the rating to be bumped up to 4 stars.

Not so Savior as the title promised. I found the whole package is so so. Nothing new, recycled and boring. The characters are flat and not much developed. The writing is also choppy. The sex is hot though. Sizzling. I like how Miss Cole can bring the heat a notch on all her books. If only she can invest a bit more on the chemistry/ character development.
Overall the whole package is OK. But not memorable to be 4 stars
3 stars

4.5 stars for me
Erik and Alexandra are EVERYTHING I love about age gap romance.
He's definitely an alpha and at times a total asshole BUT he's got plenty of hot and a dash of kind to make me forgive him.
Alexandra might be a virgin but she's not your average virgin. Nope. She's fierce. A little damaged and knows exactly what she wants. Erik!
The two together are explosive. Nobody writes sex scenes like Fiona. There's always an element of the filthy to them and it's why she's a one click author for me. Guaranteed HAF read! Emotions are high in this one, tough subjects are tackled and you get the added bonus of catching up with some favourites from previous books in this series.
Gotta say that this epilogue had me gasping out loud & definitely has me ready for the next book in this series.

I love that this author intertwines her standalones into this single, larger world, reacquainting us with familiar personalities and introducing new-found characters. Savior contained a variation of romance’s best features—a white knight hero, a heroine with backbone, irresistible angst and mouth-watering tension tied together beautifully to deliver a decadent age gap romance between Alex and Erik.
She was a light that still managed to shine through whatever darkness she faced.
Alexandra Hughes is familiar with desperation, but she reaches new heights when selling her virginity becomes an unwavering decision and the only option to escape extreme hunger and financial instability. However, what awaits within the shadows isn’t as terrifying and gruesome as assumed; instead unexpected opportunities through an infuriating, mysterious hero presents itself. Despite Alex’s naive nature, it is difficult not finding this young woman—her perseverance and inner strength—awe-inspiring in some ways as she goes head to head with Erik.
A miracle wasn't happening. It was just me. I had to be my own savior.
Consumed by haunting memories and unavoidable guilt, Erik Brandt is atoning for his past sins. Underneath his disinterested and seeming uncaring facade is someone hurting, being chased by grief as he protects himself from feeling the same loss he experienced before. Erik is both endearing and infuriating in equal measure—a combination of caring and callous. One moment he is charming beyond recognition, the next a grating asshole because he can’t cope with his emotions.
I adored this initially and though that feeling hasn’t changed much, I pondered my review further and became increasingly annoyed with certain tiny details. Such as Erik—his inability to accept romantic affection bloomed between him and Alexandra became an irritant as, instead of acting mature, he ensured Alexandra witnessed him sexually entangled with other women. Outright asshole, to be honest. Alex and Erik’s physical connection is brimming with some sexual chemistry, heated encounters and intense hatred, but the emotional side is lackluster, making it difficult to appreciate their relationship.

I was very excited to read Savior as age-gap romances are my jam. Erik and Alexandra were deliciously sexy as the sexual chemistry between them came right off the pages. It was raw, intense and very consuming. Despite this though, I did find that the story was a bit of a mixed bag for me. It was hard feeling the connection between Erik and Alexandra as it felt as if their physical attraction, (while sexy), overpowered any type of emotional connection they had.
When Erik rescued Alexandra from selling her body and her virginity to make ends meet, he never would have expected her to affect him so viscerally. What follows is a man and woman who are tempted by one another so profoundly that the attraction between them is almost palpable. Despite their delicious age difference however and Erik's alpha-dirty talking ways, I felt that the novel fell a little flat for me as their emotional connection was a little lacking. Furthermore, the constant back and forth and "revenge" tactics Erik played on Alex seemed repetitive and juvenile.
All in all, while this isn't my favorite age-gap romance, this was a fun and sexy story with a dark twist. 3.5 stars! ~Ratula

🎧 Audiobook Review 🎧
3.5 virgin stars!
I almost didn't listened to this audiobook because of the bad reviews on Goodreads, but I'm glad that I did!
I'm honestly torn between 3.5 and 4 stars and I'll explain it.
I'll agree with the majority and say that Erik was a jerk to Alex in the first half but I'll disagree with the drama complains.
He wasn't in the job of saving girls for the title of hero, and he didn't consider himself like that anyway.
His guilty wouldn't let him, so he paraded OW in front of her to make her see the bad in him and erase her fantasy of him being her savior.
But the truth is that he was her savior.
What annoyed me was how she accepted every crumbs that he gave her while he was still being a jerk.
Not cool at all.
I loved them on the second half though, and also loved to see old and new characters in the series making small cameos here and there.
It was a good listen and the Narration was amazing!

Wow! Just... wow!!! This one was a rollercoaster of emotions! I swear my heart almost stopped some times. This book is intense. It has some really deep and dark scenes and situations, so the reader should be aware of that.
But the story, dear God... I was hooked from the beginning! I couldn’t stop reading and after so many intense and dangerous scenes, I couldn’t put it down, I just had to finish the story.
This one will keep your eyes glued to the screen. It’s heartbreaking and I couldn’t stop the feelings that came with each page.
These characters were broken and had a dark past. Alexandra and Erik were trying their best to do better against the dark side of this world.
Alexandra was desperate and ended up in a dangerous and almost fatal situation.
Erik, after suffering from the darkness of the world, tries his best to save everyone he can.
These two will have to face a lot on their own and together and see that sometimes love can make you feel more powerful and strong, and not the opposite.
This story was really intense. I couldn’t stop reading and I loved it. It was thrilling, to say the least.
I enjoyed that there are other standalone stories with crossing characters. Wish it had a book about Jared, I liked him. And I would’ve liked to see a scene about that family dinner. But it was an incredible read.

The absolute hate I had for Erik raged in the fiery depths of my soul. I tried. I really really tried to get passed his behavior, but I just couldn’t.
Basic plot: Erik rescues girls from human trafficking as a side job and helps them get back onto their feet. Alexandria (19 years old) is poor and decides to sell her virginity for $10,000. Erik (31 years old) swoops in to help her, let’s her stay with him, and she starts work for him at his company as an intern.
***SPOILERS BELOW & RANT STARTING***
When Erik meets Alexandria in the hotel room he feels bad for her and practically demands she stay with him. She has two options: stay the night and take $5,000 OR stay an entire month and get $10,000 at the end. I mean what’s a poor girl to do? She’s young and has no options of course she’s going to stay with him. She does have a sister who’s a drug addict and her sisters boyfriend is not only an addict as well but a gross scrawny looking dude who tried to rape her in the beginning. This was off to a rough start.
Erik is attracted to Alexandria and in his mind he knows he shouldn’t be. They kiss soon after her arrival to his home and she humps his leg and has an orgasm. He know she’s got feelings for him and this is when Erik decides his best course of action is to be an ABSOLUTE DICK to her to try to push her away since she looks at him like he’s her savior (hence the book title). And what exactly, you ask, is his best plan? To bring other women around her to make her jealous so maybe her feelings stop for him.
Let’s get into some examples shall we:
- Erik decides to go on soooo many dates and tells her about them.
- Erik has his own office and since Alexandria is an intern she sits outside of it. A woman comes though and barges into his office. Once the door is closed he decides to have sex RIGHT UP AGAINST THE DOOR to make sure Alexandria hears it.
- He leaves the office early one day on purpose so when Alex walks out after him she sees him in the open with another women. Then he slides his hand under this girls dress into her panties all while he’s staring directly at Alex with a smile.
- He demands her to get him a coffee while he goes to his office. She walks in to give him his drink and what is he doing? Getting his dick sucked. Then looks to her and smirks.
- He’s constantly telling her how naive, stupid, and what an idiot she is. And when she kisses another guy he lashes out, puts her down again basically saying ‘oh you’re still wanting to sell that pussy to whoever huh?’.
LETS TALK ABOUT THE ENDING. Alexandria’s sister calls her crying saying she needed help and she left her bf. Alex goes to the hotel her sister is in and not only is her sister there so is Oscar, her sisters bf, and another guy who paid $1,000 to rape Alexandria. Her own sister set her up. This guy starts to sexually assault Alex and right before dude is about to put his dick into her Erik busts through the door. OH SAVIOR. My issue is what comes after. Erik takes Alexandria home and she starts hitting on him and tells him to touch her to make the bad memories go away and replace them with new ones. So he has sex with her. I mean only a hour or two had passed since she was assaulted so why not?? SIR WTF. How are you dealing with human trafficking victims and think this is a good idea?!? She’s vulnerable, looking at him with doe eyes cause he saved her, and he took advantage.
Most books towards the end there’s redemption for the alpha-hole type guys, but nah not with him. He never apologized for his behavior. There was no groveling. No begging. Just a “I love you and don’t you dare move out to get your own apartment because I’m controlling and want you here.”
FUCK THAT PUTO. 🤬
End rant.
Basic plot: Erik rescues girls from human trafficking as a side job and helps them get back onto their feet. Alexandria (19 years old) is poor and decides to sell her virginity for $10,000. Erik (31 years old) swoops in to help her, let’s her stay with him, and she starts work for him at his company as an intern.
***SPOILERS BELOW & RANT STARTING***
When Erik meets Alexandria in the hotel room he feels bad for her and practically demands she stay with him. She has two options: stay the night and take $5,000 OR stay an entire month and get $10,000 at the end. I mean what’s a poor girl to do? She’s young and has no options of course she’s going to stay with him.

Savior combined many of my favorite things into one hot, dirty, angsty package. Age-Gap, check. Angsty, check. Alpha-hole that I wanted to throat punch, check. Steamy AF, double check!! This book had me hooked from the beginning. Alexandra is desperate for money. Even though she has a job, she is struggling and searching for a way out of her dead end life. She has no one to rely on and give her support. She dreams of bigger things and decides to sell the one thing she has of value. Erik is a man tortured by his past. Circumstances beyond his control have left him feeling both guilty and angry. In order to help soothe his soul and right past wrongs he tries to help those who are struggling. The seedy underworld of the internet and sex slavery are the perfect backdrop for this gritty read. A chance meeting by Alexandra and Erik bring both of their worlds crashing down in ways neither expected. Their connection is electric, but she is looking for something that he feels he simply can't give her. "Don't romanticize this. Don't romanticize me. I'm not some hero you dreamed about fucking you slowly." While their story is far from a fairytale, can there be a happily ever?

Akarsız kokarsız, 4’lük bi hikaye.
Hafta sonu yazarım ✍🏼
Kadın karakterimiz Alexandra 19 yaşında, uyuşturucu bağımlısı ablası ile fasfakir yaşamakta. Bir gün kütüphanede kolay para kazanmanın yollarını search eylerken yolu dark webde bir siteye düşüyor. Bir de ne görsün insanlar bekaretini satarak para kazanıyor. Alexandra'da 'aman, mezara mı götürecem bekareti, ben de satayım da cebimiz para midemiz ekmek görsün' diyerek koyuyor bekaretini satışa.
Bekareti Mr. E. satın alıyor. Yani erkek karakterimiz Erik. Ama onun dark webde satılık bekaret kovalamasının nedeni çok başka. Kaçırılıp dark webde satılan organize suç çetelerini avlayan bir pelerinsiz kahraman.
İkilinin yolu bir otel odasında kesişiyor ve Erik, ilk görüşte etkilendiği kızımızı kolundan tutup evine götürüyor. Başına bir çatı, midesine lokma, sırtına döşek veriyor. Kendi IT şirketinde iş verip sigortasını da yapıyor. O da yetmiyor dizginlenemez libidolara seks ikram eyliyor.
Eğlenceli diyaloglar, çok kötü olmayan ama çok da kusursuz olmayan bir hero, biraz saf ama sinir bozmayan bir heroine. Dediğim gibi orta seviye, akarsız kokarsız.

⭐️ 5 "Greatest Risk" Stars ⭐️
Where to start with this review! I still feel so overwhelmed but this remarkable novel that was Savior. Fiona Cole put in place a story with a little dose of everything I enjoy in a romance book. The angst is intensely addicting and had me riveted to my kindle all read long. There’s also suspense, hotness and a whole lot of feels!
“Once you lose someone you love more than yourself – when you that pain – you do everything you can to not feel it again, including not letting anyone close.”
When Alexandra becomes so desperate, she sells her virginity on the internet, but is soon saved by the sexy and broody Erik Brandt! This man is a hero that reaches a level of ultimate asshole! The hot and cold treatment toward Alexandra played with my feelings and I didn’t know if I hated him or loved him! Such a complex man! How many times during this read was I frustrated by him and his dick moves only to fall further under his charm after other swoon worthy moments? You know how much I love those kind of hero though!!
I was entranced by the magnetic connection between Alexandra and Erick! So powerful! Seriously those two have lots and lots of combustible attraction. I just loved their heated interactions! While many of Erik’s actions are unjustified, Alexandra doesn’t cower. Oh no! She shows bravery and sass and put him in his place! She knows how to play where it hurts and she’s his true weakness! In spite of her difficult upbringing, she still has a certain candor and sees the good in people!
“I’m not the man you think I am.”
“Maybe you’re ne the man you think you are.”
Erik’s moments of jealousy and possessiveness! Gah! I longed for them. All this back and forth between him and Alex had me on edge, waiting for their breaking moment. When they unleash their passion, it’s truly epic and Erik’s dirty mouth reaches panty melting level!!! Their explosive encounters are scorching hot, but also filled with feelings!
As much as the romantic and passionate parts of this story are riveting, the whole storyline revolves around a suspenseful subject that had me so invested. Every new information added to the mix had me excited!
“I felt like more of a man than ever before in my life. All because this young woman had been traumatized and was still able to find solace in my arms.”
Savior is one truly mesmerizing read with an overload of feels. I raged, lost my breath, combusted, laughed and cried throughout this glorious experience this story made me live. Fiona Cole signs here a real page-turner that will leave your heart captured by a well matched couple!

Get ready to meet your new favorite ALPHAHOLE!
Desperation leads people to make desperate decisions. When you have no where else to go, no food, no money...you make the only decision you can. Alexandra had no one to turn to. She only had herself to depend on. So she made a tough choice and is now sacrificing part of herself to survive.
Erik is the guy who is going to save her from herself. He has his own secrets and his own ghosts. His heart is in the right place, but his methods are questionable.
He is all about rescuing Alexandra and giving her the hand up that she needs to pursue her dream and succeed. The only problem is their undeniable attraction. However, Erik knows the kind of man that he is and needs to stay away from her. And he'll go to any lengths to make that happen.
This story is super hot and steamy! I am a total sucker for an alphahole and Erik definitely filled those shoes! You are going to LOVE him!

Effing wowsers on the sexy with substance scale! Savior is a story about two unlikely people coming together to...well...save each other, albeit in different ways. Our main guy Erik is fighting hard to redeem himself in his own eyes for tragic events that have occurred in his past. He takes the blame unnecessarily and to get through, he has built a wall around his heart to prevent him from getting too close to anything real. Alexandra is desperate to make it out of her horrible life situation, causing her to make a very dangerous choice. Once she is 'saved' she is weary to accept her new circumstances thinking it's too good to be true. Of course Erik constantly pushing her away just as they get close certainly doesn't help matters. The two main characters are both fighters, and their interactions while angry have actual depth. And their interactions while happy...so hot and so dirty! LOL. I’ve just briefly touched on the characters and I don’t want to get too spoiler-ish, but Savior has an attention holding plot immersed in the terrifying and devastating world of human sex trafficking. The writing goes beyond a romance with real heartbreaking struggles within. Fiona keeps giving us the goods in her Voyeur world and I'm absolutely here for it. 5 savory stars for Savior!

OH MY SWEET JESUS MOTHER OF GOD THIS BOOK WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND HOT. MUST MUST READ.
I very rare read books at one go, but this one I did. I devourd every single page of it and every single word. I just couldn't put it down. I loved every part of this book.
Fiona Cole managed to suck my whole heart into this story. She managed to get every emotion out of me.
When I started it I didn't know what to expect as this was my first read by her. And she swept me off my feet. I was glued to the pages from the very start. I can't express how much I loved it and her writing is just so perfect. And don't even get me started with the hot s*x scenes coz this book was hot and steamy as hell. God I want Erik in my life. I loved him so much, but I must say at some points I just wanted to punch him in the face. And Alex, she was so sweet and strong. I loved her character. There is anything I didn't love about this book. It's a MUST READ and Fiona is my new favorite author. After I read this one I was sitting and wondering how I still haven't read her other books so far as I have few of them? But I will do it now. She is really amazing. Well done Mrs. Cole.
5 stars from me but I would give it way more.

""The truth is, Princess, I won’t be any softer. I’ll take what you offer and love every cry you let free. The only difference is that I’ll make you like it and beg for more.""
To be honest with you, I was pretty excited reading Savior and I truly enjoyed it. It was easy with a nice pace and the right amount of alpha, dark and sexy with a tough and easy to love heroine. Erik’s and Alexandra’s sexual chemistry crackles through the chapters and their sexual encounters never fail to disappoint.
However, something was missing for me. It’s like their physical attraction was much more dominant than the emotional connection. And I wished we would see a little more of that. Specially with an age-gap backstory, the emotional connection is pretty important for me.
”She was a light that still managed to shine through whatever darkness she faced.”
Despite their age difference and Erik with his alpha/caveman behaviour and the lacking of a deeper emotional connection, the story itself is captivating and keeps you turning the pages.
Overall, Savior is a fun and sexy story with a dark twist, that will keep you entertained from the first chapter to the last.
”He saved me that night from myself and I’d spend the rest of my life loving the man who bought me.”

”’You are my greatest risk.’”
I shouldn’t be surprised with the fact that I don’t even know where to start with this review. That seems to be a theme when it comes to Fiona Cole’s books and my reviews for her.
Savior was BEYOND amazing. It’s unlike anything out there right now while having everything you could possibly want in a taboo read. You go into books like this expecting to have read something similar before because it’s been done before right? Wrong. SO wrong. Fiona Cole is her own damn genre simply because while you may think these books have “been done before”, no one will ever be able to do Fiona Cole books. Ever. Savior is prime example of that.
The thrill, the taboo-ness of it all, the expected and unexpected are on more levels of holy shit and everything more than you could imagine, it’s just ALL there. Erik and Alexandra are definitely one of the best couples I’ve read about. A virgin who takes no shit and the DEFINITION of Alpha Male? Just all the yes. Their love journey was one I enjoyed immensely and will revisit countless times just like all the other books in this amazing series.
