I Used to be A Good Girl, Now I'm His Savage

Rate this book
Nova Symone Lawson is twenty-five and should be out living her best life, but instead, she’s being held captive in an abusive relationship with a man who has put her down so much that she won’t even ask the most powerful people she knows for help.
Gianna Sophia Esposito is her best friend, but the two were raised like sisters. Gianna has never experienced love due to who her family is. So, when it’s finally in her face, she does everything in her power to not fall for the dangerously sexy man trying to work his way into her life.
Kenji Jude Logan is a single dad of a five-year-old and just wants to find a good woman that he can love. When he sets his eyes on Nova, he starts to think that maybe she’s the one for him. But will the baggage she’s carrying be too much for him to handle? Or will he step up and show her how to unpack it properly?
Rocco Ja’mere Douglass is Kenji’s cousin and right-hand man. When the beautiful Gianna graces his presence, he knows that he has to have her. There is just one thing standing in the way, and that’s Roezay. Roezay is determined to prove to him that the baby she is pregnant with is his and that it’s time for him to step up to the plate.
When bitter exes and jealous females enter the picture, will these two couples be able to make it through? When family skeletons start falling out of the closet, will these four thug it out? Or will they decide that it will never work? Take a ride and find out what happens- When A Good Girl Becomes A Savage.

I used to be a good girl, now I'm his savage

This book was everything and held my attention from the very beginning. I couldn't stand Jake. I loved Nova and Gia and the bond they had each other. I'm glad that in the end Nova gotten an happy ending she definitely deserved it.

Learned behavior!!!!

Jake was absolutely horrible but as the saying goes the Apple don’t fall far too from the tree because his dad was just as bad. Ji from the moment they met you can feel the pull between him and Nova and I’m glad he followed his heart. Gia was crazy and Co matched her craziness....

Loved it

Jake finally got what was coming to him. Mr untouchable should have stopped while he was ahead. Kenji definitely came into Nova’s life at the right time. For the two blessings that Nova lost, because of Kenji those blessings came back around. This standalone was very well written. I would definitely recommend it.

Good story

This is my first read by this author. It was a good story and I liked the characters a lot. There were some things that I questioned but kind of understood by the end. I was not a fan of how she would have a character drop a bomb but would not reveal what it was until the next chapter. It was still a good read.

I liked it

I enjoyed all the characters whew that Jake has me ready to jump through this book he was a monster. Im glad that none of my favorite characters got killed off. I was just wishing that it would be a sequel but with that happy ending I honestly don’t think it needs one.

Review

Thank you Karissa for putting together this beautiful story. Jake broke Nova down, but Kenji found it in his heart to pick her back up. He let her know she was worth more than what Jake put her through. Once she got her confidence back up Jake paid dearly.
Gianna and Rocco were a funny pair that deserved to be together.

Overcomer

This was a good book that brought about many different emotions. I think the author did a good job of showing Nova's transition from being a victim of domestic violence to one who overcame and gained her strength back with the help of Kenji.

My Savage

I'm glad Nova got away on her own. What she was going through was unbearable. Kenji was the man for her and more. Rocco and Gianna made a great couple too.

Great book

I’m never disappointed when i read her books they are so good I’m mad that this was a stand-alone it as was good. I’m happy that nova was able to get away from Jake he was no good for her. Kenji was the man for her and I’m happy she accepted him and his daughter. I’m glad that Rocco and Gia got together. Great book
