Savage Security #1

Billionaire Body Heat

Rate this book
If I told you about Tessa, I’d have to admit my obsession

But I’d also tell you how she trespassed, took advantage and pretended to be someone very different. I could have her arrested. I could press charges, but I’m a merciless bastard. I have something else in mind. I won’t turn her in even though every day for the past twenty-one days she’s broken the law. I have the footage. I could make her pay. I could make her squirm.

I should stay far away. She’s a girl on her own, after a childhood spent as a throwaway foster kid. When I discover she’s in danger, I make a plan. Sweet, young, innocent Tessa will serve her penance in my home. Under my control. I’ll be the first to shelter her. I’ll keep her safe from any threat.

🌐🌐🌐➡️↘️⬇️➡️This is my own personal thoughts and opinion about the book so if thats not sit right with you or you feel I’m not being fair blablabla, please know that everybody in this world have their own different things that they like and don’t like. It may not be the same thing with you but thats okay because i am my own person and you cannot control me or tell me what to do. For example; i put ketchup (tomato sauce) on my fried chicken. You think that’s disgusting? For me its not and i’ve been eating it like that for many many years. You tell me to put another sauce and see if i like that better? I already did many many times in years but i still like the way i like it. It’s called differences between me and you and billions people in this world😊 be open minded😙 I respect people’s opinions about my opinions but in the end of the day if i say I don’t like it or i do like it, its up to me and its on me. And in the end of the day i always liked and show my respect to books and people’s opinions on books whenever that book is good or not good in my opinion 😊 Respect people’s opinions guys😙😙 I don’t want to write this down because its not really my thing to do it. To like address something like this when obviously i know the people who’s been reading my reviews many times and all the time, they are smart enough to understand and respect other people’s opinions no matter what their opinions on book or their point of view 😙😙 am i right? 💕 also there are people even though i already write “this book is different because i have my own taste of book” those people still comment my taste is this and that when HELLO… everybody have their own thoughts on books and what they want to read… why i read it then? I read it and give it a review because i have to read a book to give it a review… why not read the description book to understand before I’m going to read it? Hello just in case you haven’t notice, description books can be tricky because they write this amazing things about a book but turns out the story is so toxic. Maybe for me its toxic but not for you? YES HELLO THATS WHY US HUMAN BEING HAVE OUR DIFFERENCES, WHAT I LIKE IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU WILL LIKE IT AND EITHER WAY TOO. why i still write the review then if i just don’t like a book? Because I CAN and i want to, you cannot tell me what to do and not what to do🤪 if you still wants to be negative and be karens about my review on book after all of what i just write, i will never acknowledge you and simply ignore you because its not that hard🙏 ⬅️↖️↕️⬅️↩️⤴️

MEMORABLE HERO

Hero, Roman Savage owns Savage Security with his sister, Clair and bull-headed brother, Damon. Heroine, Contessa is helping out her friend, Margie (who's on vacation) who cooks and cleans his penthouse on Monday through Friday. He senses that Margie not doing the job and by watching the video of the building (remember Roman knows security) he's immediately entranced with sassy Tessa. One thing leads to another and poor Tessa breaks an expensive vase while cleaning his penthouse and he gave her a choice (blackmails her) by really working for him until the expensive vase (15,000.00) in paid for.

Other happenings occur in this endearing story with heroine best friend, Chelsea and her abusive boyfriend which gives this story twists and turns (drama) and you see just how far Roman goes to protect Tessa. You also see in this story that Chelsea envies he longtime friend new relationship with Roman which I hated.

So if you like a OTT alpha male hero who is very, very possessive in a caveman sort of way but who really goes after the heroine full force then you will love "Billionaire Body Heat" by Sasha Gold!

I hope both his sister, Clair (with rival Security owner) and brother, Damon gets their stories told in this series as well!

4.5 possessive and funny stars!

You just can’t go wrong with this author

Another sweet n steamy read with an alpha, OTT hero who can’t be held back from storming in and claiming his soul mate.

Love both characters. Roman is tough and tender, and Tessa has had a rough life, unwanted and unloved—and Roman is there to teach her how much he wants her and loves her. Only complaint: no epilogue. I think the book would have been stronger had there been one but it doesn’t take away from the actual story.

5 swoon-filled hearts for this one!

I love Sasha Gold’s books or those she writes as Alix West. A short hot sexy read which is this authors style, with her OTT alpha leading men and sweet but sassy heroines there’s not much to dislike. I loved Roman and Tessa together, now I’m hoping we get Damon’s story.

"Billionaire Body Heat" is the story of Tessa and Roman.
A Cinderella-esque love story with a maid heroine, a rich millionaire hero, some stalking, an evil OM, some ring bartering and a HEA. There are two intriguing siblings to the hero- who have the potential to get their own books- the brooding Damon and the bubbly Claire.
It was sooo good until 50% mark- it had stalking, jealousy, possessiveness and good amount of chemistry. And then the story lost its spark and we started seeing two people in lurveee banging and getting hitched for the last 1/2, with mild drama ofc. I cannot put my finger on what was missing, but it made the overall feeling after reading the book be "meh".
Disappointed.
Safe
2.5/5

Just started reading this book, but already can say that Tessa's so called best friend is definitely not a best friend. I'd like to use a word for her that rhymes with Runt.

Book intrigues me.

Not a bad book but I was right. The best friend was nothing more than a manipulative user. If I could give it 2.5 I would. I liked it but I didn't love it. Well written with developed characters though.

I decided to re read this one before going onto the second in the series about Roman's brother Damon just to refresh my memory. I have to say I loved how over the top Roman was. His cautious yet instant devotion to Tessa was so much fun to watch. I was still a little baffled about how the whole engagement thing went over so smoothly but it's fiction so meh I'll roll with it! As usual a great read from Sasha!!

For weeks Tessa has been cleaning Roman's house for her neighbor. She thinks she's being sneaky and hasn't been caught, but what she doesn't realize is the Roman knew from the first minute she stepped foot in his house that she wan't suppose to be there. Roman is only biding his time till he feels it would be an appropriate time to approach Tessa and inform her that she's now his. However, Roman isn't a very patient man and he'll use whatever tools in his arsenal to keep Tessa by his side, even if it means blackmailing her for payment.

This book has everything a woman like me could love!
Insta-love
Alpha and possessive male
Virgin Heroine
A little stalking
Side characters (Claire and Damon) who help make the story. Also who I secretly hope have their own stories =)

Sasha Gold is a new author for me and I was very impressed and can't wait to read more books from her!

Feels like i’m reading wattpad in this so fast and unbelievable plot line.

Roman is a billionaire turns out having a crush on Tessa, his maid substitute and been crushing on her ever since, where he ended up finding a way to talk to her since it’s creepy enough to stalk her through the surveillance camera.

Tessa life is complex with her best friend turns out to date a douchebag and she’s there to save her by putting him on a jail but she ended up getting threaten by the boy family for doing it.

It’s your typical short stories.

A book of insta love story but with a smooth flowing romancing development. It was, yes, an instant attraction from both MCs (mostly from H), but i liked the fact that it gave time and space for the relationship to grow; it swoon worthy too. The plot let bot MCs to learn one another within the right amount of pace. By the end of the book, i think i fell in love with how sweet the H was and how genuine his heart is.

Billionaire Body Heat

I loved Tessa and Roman's love story. Loved how much Roman obsessed over Tessa and wanted to take care of her. I can't wait for Damon's story and I hope it's rougher since he seems like he'd be rougher and harder to fall and he's got sexy tatts too. I also really enjoyed the bonus story too.

It started off good but got bad quickly. There was no chemistry, the h was TSTL and a doormat. It did not feel like love, just lust.
The wedding ring without a proper proposal or even a conversation was awful.
And I HATE when the characters cannot have a serious talk without having sex in the middle of it. Come on, you are not teens anymore.

Roman was great. Possessive and obsessive, which we love! But Tessa??? She let her “best friend” treat her like complete shit and then pawned her engagement ring to give the money to said “best friend” right after the friend called her trash! I didn’t understand that and it completely ruined the book for me. I don’t even know why she gave that awful girl the time of day.

Obsession

This is a sweet obsession story. She's just trying to get by and he is obsessed with her, watching her from afar. When she is threatened he stops waiting and takes action. She has to decide if she can trust him.

Ok the title is atrocious. But the book is lovely! It is a sweet insta-love romance between a billionaire and his private chef. A bit like Lisa kleypas style from
her historicals but in a contemporary setting.

Honestly it started great but the way the h was so wary of the H when they officially met that gave him a creepy vibe from her POV and kinda kill what little chemistry they had in the beginning.

I was so excited when i opened my email and saw that another Sasha Gold book was released! Roman owns a security firm with his brother Damon and sister Claire. For weeks he has been watching Tessa enter his building and going to his apartment. Tessa is a product of the foster care system. After her mom decided she didn't want her because she had too many kids. i was kind of hoping that more of that would have been revealed. like her siblings looking for her . She does a favor for her neighbor Margie and cleans Mr. Savage's penthouse while Margie is on vacation. So i really enjoyed this book it felt longer than other Sasha Gold books, it was a safe read with the H having not dating for a while and the h being a virgin. I did wish it could have been a little bit longer just so we could know what happened with Tessa's friend. i wasnt a fan of her especially towards the end of the book when she asks for a favor and not only insults Tessa but thrn just dropping out of her life. I am looking forward to reading about Damon and hopefully the lady he was fuarding and Claire and the owner of their rival security firm. great job Ms. Gold!
