Saving Her
The most ruthless men hide behind seductive stares and whispered lies.
I was taken years ago. Led away from safety by kind promises and friendly smiles to a gilded cage in paradise.
Now the life I once had is dead and buried.
There’s no more hope. Only servitude and pain amid the sunshine and crystal blue water.
Until he walks into my life.
The man who claims to be my savior even though he works for the same family who hold me captive.
I shouldn’t trust him. I can’t.
Yet here I am, falling for the same lies that led me here in the first place.
He says he’s going to save me, protect me, and I wish that were true.
But even if he's being honest, when all this is said and done, who will protect me from him?
A seductively thrilling duet within the Hunting Her series. This title contains both novels LUCA and SAVIOR, along with a sneak preview of upcoming release COLE.

4.5 stars--
SAVIOR is the fourth instalment in Eden Summers’ contemporary, adult HUNTING HER dark, erotic, romantic suspense series, and part one of Penny Decker and ex Navy SEAL Luca’s duet that follows the rescue of Penny Decker, and the take down of a sexual trafficking ring. SAVIOR can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series in order for back story, history and cohesion as there is an interconnected plot line throughout.
NOTE: SAVIOR contains scenes that may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Penny and Luca) SAVIOR focuses on the rescue of Penny Decker, the sister of Sebastian Decker, and the woman with whom Luca will fall in love. Eighteen months earlier Penny Decker disappeared and has been held captive in Greece, as a sexual slave along with several other women, by crime lord Luther Torian. Luther Torian is the estranged father of Cole Torian (Torian #3) and Keira Torian (Decker #2), and as such the siblings know a thing or two about the need to take down their father and the men he has working and controlling his business.
Penny Decker is a strong willed young woman but a woman left vulnerable by the abuse and torture by Luther Torian. With the arrival of her would-be rescuers Penny struggles with issues of trust, PTSD, and the knowledge that abusers hide behind secrets and lies. Believing herself broken, and an embarrassment to her family, Penny is reluctant to leave the hellhole she has called her prison for eighteen months. Luca’s assignment, along with the other members of the team, is to find Penny Decker, and take down the man responsible for destroying so many lives but Luca never expected to come face to face with a woman that would call to his heart.
The relationship between Luca and Penny is that of victim and rescuer; an immediate attraction that does not go unnoticed by Penny’s brother Sebastian Decker. There is no romance or love, there is only the knowledge that Penny and the other women have been defenceless against a monster who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters including Cole Torian and Anissa Fox, Sebastian Decker and Keira Torian, Luke Hunter, Cole and Keira’s half-brother Tobias, their father Luther Torian; several other captive women, and the men who live to torture and abuse.
SAVIOR is a dark, gritty and raw story of betrayal and vengeance, and the dysfunctional dynamics of the Torian family, and the legacy imparted to the vulnerable heirs. The premise is heart breaking and astonishing; the characters are broken but strong, tragic yet impassioned.

LUCA is the fifth instalment in Eden Summers contemporary, adult HUNTING HER romantic suspense series, and part two of Penny Decker and ex Navy SEAL Luca Hart’s duet. LUCA should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events of book four SAVIOR wherein Penny and several women were rescued from a sexual slave operation. The story ARC begins in book three TORIAN.
SOME BACKGROUND: Approximately two years earlier Penny Decker disappeared and had been held captive in Greece, as a sexual slave along with several other women, by crime lord Luther Torian. Luther Torian is the estranged father of Cole Torian (Torian #3) and Keira Torian (Decker #2). In book four SAVIOR, Penny, along with the other women were rescued and brought back to safety in the USA but trouble has followed our heroine home.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Luca and Penny) LUCA focuses on Penny’s recovery from months spent serving a monster but all is not well in Penny’s life as she continues to struggle with PTSD and issues of trust. Currently under the care, and living at the home of Luca Hart, Penny remains withdrawn and unsure, unable to move beyond the pain and damage of what happened or why. As Luca’s attraction to Penny grows with every encounter, Luca battles between head and heart knowing Penny has suffered greatly at the hands of Luther Torian and his second in command Robert. What ensues is the slow building romance and relationship between Luca and Penny, and the fall-out as Penny and the women remain virtual captives of their past but a past that is continuing to affect their present.
Penny Decker believes she is unworthy of happiness or love, and her personal pity parties often become self-fulfilling prophecies as she is unable to move beyond the past-two steps forward, one step back- our heroine‘s emotional struggles, and refusal to talk, are affecting her relationship with our leading hero. Luca Hart’s attraction to Penny was immediate upon their first interaction at the compound in Greece but Luca refuses to cross the proverbial line, a line Penny is hoping did not exist.
The relationship between Penny and Luca begins in book four SAVIOR and continues to build in the current time line. LIving at Luca’s house, Penny busies herself cooking and cleaning but is unable to let go of what happened in Greece believing herself a victim of circumstance and life. Luca knows Penny is the woman that calls to his heart but even his heart knows that Penny is going to take time to heal. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Cole Torian and Anissa Fox, Sebastian Decker and Keira Torian, Luke Hunter, Cole and Keira’s half-brother Tobias; security operative Sarah; Luca’s brother Benji, and Benji’s wife Layla. The requisite evil has many faces.
LUCA is a story of betrayal, vengeance, and obsession; healing, relationships, friendships and love. The premise is engaging and captivating; the romance is seductive; the characters are energetic, dynamic, broken and lost. LUCA ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

If you are looking for a well written, fast paced romantic suspense with captivating characters and an engaging storyline, then I definitely recommend the Saving Her Boxed Set.
Savior:
This fast-paced romantic suspense draws you in right from the beginning and you won’t want to put it down once you crack open the first pages. After all, it is impossible to not forgo sleep when one is completely enthralled with an enticing plot and captivating characters. You’ll experience a rollercoaster ride of heart stopping action, gripping suspense, and a story that is sure to pull at your heartstrings.
For those of you who have read Torian, Savior picks up towards the last few scenes in Torian only this time we get it from Luca’s and Penny’s perspectives. Penny’s story is heartbreaking. A broken heroine, one cannot help but admire her resilience and inner strength. I loved Luca. He is protective and really connects with Penny. The book does end on cliffhanger so be sure to pick up Luca to see how the rest of their story unfolds.
Luca:
Luca is the most enthralling and entertaining romantic suspense that I have read all year! This author has mastered the art of weaving together an intricate storyline that grabs the reader’s attention right from the first page. Be prepared to forgo sleep because you won’t want to put this book down as it is full of romance, action, secrets, and heart stopping suspense that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.
The author does an impeccable job with character development. Penny is battling the demons related to the horrors that were illustrated in Savior. She is both a vulnerable & strong heroine and I couldn’t help but admire her resilience. The path to healing is not an easy one and I like how the author addressed this. I am officially claiming Luca as my book boyfriend. He is just scrumptious and I love his protective nature & kind-hearted soul. These two bring out the best in each other and the connection between the two of them was palpable throughout the book.
This novel is a part of the Hunting Her series and is the conclusion to Luca and Penny’s duet. So you must read Savior before diving into this book or you will be completely lost. As there is character overlap and an interconnecting storyline, I do recommend reading the earlier books in the series as well to get the best experience. For those of you who love the Hunting Her world, you will be pleased to see some of the favorite characters from Hunter, Decker, and Torian.

This duet will leave you beautifully speechless!! Kick ass hero and badass heroine!
Savior
I barely have words to review this jaw-dropping book. Savior is not just a well written story filled with rescue, suspense, suspicion and evil, it is a story that pulls you in with raw emotion. Luca works for the evil mobster, Cole Torian. Torian has recently discovered something more evil than himself, his father. As one of Torian's guards, Luca goes with him to help get rid of the evil. What he didn't expect was to find Penny. Now the mission has a new purpose. He has to free her. The danger is like nothing he has faced before, but the risk is worth it.
Savior is part one of the Penny and Luca duet and Book 4 of the intense and amazing Hunting Her series. I have read each book more than twice and will read them again. Why...they are THAT GOOD!
Luca
Luca reaches into the depths of your emotions and doesn't let go. Eden weaves the story of Penny and Luca with such beauty that I didn't want it to end. Luca continue where Savior left off. They are "home" but she feels more lost than ever. She's rescued but doesn't feel free. Luca desperately wants to see her heal and recover. He sees the beautiful woman she is even when she can't. But, is the past too big? The future too dark and scary? With each step forward there are so many risks for both of them, emotionally, physically, and so much more.
However, Luca is that man that lives to protect and fights for who he loves...even when the battle doesn't seem winnable. He fights because it's the right thing to do. But he's not a good guy, is he? And this love is beyond words. But is the fight too big to win?
Buy this now! Read this now! Then read it again! You will want to!

Savior
Just wow! The Hunting Her series is full of super hot and strong men, and the heroines are bad a$$, but the book Savior gives new meaning to a strong woman. The reality of what Penny has lived during her captivity brings to life a world no one ever wants to know. She’s strong, but broken. My heart broke with each realization of what she survived, but I also admired her strength. Such a great story and love the box set that gives you the next book immediately.
Luca
Trying to find your way after the most unimaginable horror, terror and trauma would be paralyzing for anyone, and Eden Summers gives such an emotional and riveting account of Penny’s journey once she’s rescued from the sex trade. She starts this journey with Luca by her side after he helped rescue her. My heart hurt for his self-control and discipline while he battled with himself to be the protector she needed while fighting his growing feelings for her. This fabulous read will take you on a soaring high and the next chapter you will be weeping from the emotions you feel for the characters. This is truly a book you won’t want to miss reading. I’m still feeling the emotional rollercoaster.

And Saved Her He Did!
This duet is not for the faint hearted. It contains sensitive subject matters that may trigger trauma, trauma, that this author addresses in a literary sense. This was no sweet passionate love story, it was deep down in your soul ruthlessness, it was dark and it will twist you up inside in so many ways until you can’t see straight.
It was hauntingly beautiful, captivating, intriguing and chilling. She was darkness and he was the light, despite everything she endured, the depravity, despite trying to reconcile her past with her present, she knew in her heart and mind, that she is worthy of being loved.
The secrets, the lies, the twists, the turns lead to the inevitable, the truth. It was fast paced and thrilling, it made my heart race and soar to unfathomable heights. Denying themselves, knowing that they wanted each other, the need to see there growing attraction, the lust and fear, there love for each other heartbreakingly beautiful.
From the first word to the last, I was hooked, could not put these books down. Luc and Penny’s story was dark, powerful and confronting, raw, poignant, heart wrenching, soul destroying, life altering, the roller coaster of emotions intense.
The feeling of loss and freedom etches itself into her mind, but with Luc, he is determined to help Penny find her courage and strength, to see her heal and recover, physically, mentally and emotionally, even though her very domineering and over protective brother Sebastian means well.
Luc see’s Penny as a survivor, sees her for the beautiful woman she is, when she can’t, with each step forward Luc battles his demons with her own, living to protect and fight for those who he loves.
This author clearly knows how to hook and ensnare her readers to ensure they come back for more, me I’ll definitely come back for more from this author for sure! The different points of view told a telling story , all connected very well, it made it so easy for the reader to totally immerse themselves, to get lost in the entirety of the story, it was absolutely breathtaking.
And those love scenes in the bedroom were wicked, yet beautiful, sensual, raw, powerful, passionate and soul connecting, just what Luc and Penny, two lost souls needed on a deep and profound level.

Loved both these stories this is a must read box set
Savior
I loved being back in this world with Torian, Hunter, Decker and the girls.
This story for me was one of the important ones of the series because you got a slight look at what Penny had been through, for what she went through i don’t know if it was shock or what but she was such a strong character and she reacted to all the events how anyone in her position would act.
Lucas was another brilliant character, he was so protective of Penny straight away but also for what all the girls had been through and he wanted to take down Torians fathers operations and he was so passionate about it.
I really loved this book it was full of actions and drama and i just didn’t want it to end and i am so glad that we get another book for these two as their story has only just begun.
As i said i loved being back in this world of corruption and the broody men and i must admit i loved Tobias, you just really felt for him and i loved the connection that him and Penny had.
Can’t wait to get into the next book Lucas another fantastic read by eden summers
Luca
Ahhh this was such a great book i could read Penny’s and Luca’s story all the time it could go on and on and on.
This book picks up from where you leave savior and it just got better and better this book had the action and rest storyline and when you thought one thing oh no another thing happened. To be honest this has just got me way to excited for Coles book and the last in the series.
Penny and Luca were such awesome characters and we really got to read Penny be the strong and resilient character we knew she could be. Luca was sweet and i loved his fierce protectiveness that he had for Penny.
This book had a few twists i don’t see coming and there was so much action and i loved how little things were popping up so we could figure what was going to happen except for how the book ended. It ended on a cliffhanger for me but not what you expect.
I can’t wait for all this to be wrapped up loved loved this series and again i loved how all the previous characters are so involved with the story.

Savior: What an incredible series. It keeps my heart racing as I feel like I’m experiencing all the intense emotions for each of these amazing characters. Penny had been sold as a sex slave and became Luther’s favorite. We finally get to experience this ordeal through her eyes as she is saved but yet, she is so broken that she truly doesn’t understand that she can be free. Luca has the challenge of getting her to trust him as well as Sebastian and Cole. Knowing she would see her brother again is horrifying, this allowed me to understand the levels she had gone to in her mind to survive the horror of the world she found herself in. Luca shows incredible compassion while keeping his focus on the task at hand. I love that Penny won’t leave behind the other woman at Luther’s home no matter what the cost to her. How she survived everything that she endured is mind-blowing. But it’s almost as if the biggest battle is yet to be fought as she steps back into a ‘normal’ life. How does she trust again? So excited for the next book to see how this crazy fabulous roller coaster ends.
Luca: Intense, gut-wrenching, hopeful, compelling romance. Penny has survived so much at the hands of Luther. Being rescued by Luca is both wonderful and difficult. Now they are in Portland and he is doing everything he can to help her heal but she is so afraid and trapped in the necessary actions she had to use to survive. Luca is struggling with how to help her because he loves her so much. I think the list is awesome and it allows these two to get to know each other and it helped Penny calm the memories. But this journey is oh so complicated. New threats surface which can shattered what little comfort Penny has found. Truly, I was kept on the edge of my seat the whole time wondering if Penny can find peace while dreading what would happen next. I love these characters with all their flaws, the balance of good vs. evil, has me captivated. Excited for Cole’s story.
Luca: Intense, gut-wrenching, hopeful, compelling romance. Penny has survived so much at the hands of Luther. Being rescued by Luca is both wonderful and difficult. Now they are in Portland and he is doing everything he can to help her heal but she is so afraid and trapped in the necessary actions she had to use to survive.

I loved how the two stories closely intertwined with each other and I was able to connect with all of the characters. Eden Summers has written an amazing duet that hooks you from page one and makes you want to read the books one after the other as fast as possible!
Savior
Savior is an intense journey and fans of Eden Summers Hunting Her series should get ready to experience Penny and Luca’s POV from their part in Torian. This is a MUST READ series from one of my favourite authors.
Penny has been through so much darkness and pain and ex SEAL Luca is desperate to help her escape and return home to her family. Savior explores the ultimate fight that these two will face against their enemies, the battle against the danger of being in this corrupt, dangerous world that threatens not only their deep attraction but their lives and families, and the twists and turns that will ultimately help this couple find the peace that they deserve.
I enjoyed the suspense and intrigue surrounding this couple, the fast paced action with every turn of the page but above all else, I LOVED the connection between Penny and Luca; Penny's loyalty and fierceness with regards to her sisters and Toby and his protectiveness, determination and ruthlessness to the woman he will doing anything to protect.
Readers looking for a captivating read, where the author builds a world with darkness, passions and suspense that is so descriptive that you feel that you are watching a movie, where the characters experience such growth that will touch your souls, and where you experience every emotion that you feel you will burst should look no further than Eden Summers books - she masterfully creates such EPIC stories that it makes your reading experience with every book simply unforgettable.
Luca
The quality of work that Eden Summers produces is unsurpassed. Her writing is exciting, intelligent and gripping. Her characters are strong, bold, and richly complex. The storylines are dynamic and intense with the right mix of romance and suspense. I was enthralled, shed tears and held my breath in anticipation of what might happen next. I could not put this book down!
Several storylines were converging in Luca and it could have been too much, too many moving parts to keep track of, but somehow, I never felt like there was an overload, each moving part was laid out in such a way there was an ease to putting that part of the puzzle exactly where it belonged. Luca is an excellent conclusion to Savior. It is full of intrigue with a complex story running through it and it is so worth the wait for finding out how Penny and Luca’s relationship evolves.
Eden Summers writes romantic suspense like few others. She’s able to make you care for her characters, even while they’re doing and saying things you don’t agree with and wraps you up so tightly in her storylines you can’t help but feel each moment like you are in the middle of all the action.
I am eagerly awaiting the next instalment in the Hunting Her series – Cole!

SAVIOR by Eden Summers
Wow…Wow…Wow!!!
Gripping! Riveting! Engrossing!
I love when authors can give us tenacious, resilient and feisty female characters and then temper them with a profound vulnerability and brokenness (sorry...not the best word to use, but this is the word that best describes it).
This is what Eden Summers has given us with Penny in Savior.
The title of this book is well suited for Penny’s story as many would automatically jump to the conclusion that it is specifically describing the Hero of the book. Well you would be correct, because the hero…or should I say Heroine in this tale is PENNY! This woman personifies the word Savior.
She is a Defender…of all who share her painful present.
She is a Protector…of all who find themselves placed alongside her wrapped in chains of misery and destruction.
She is a Liberator…of many, whose lives were destroyed by greed and evil debauchery.
She is her own Savior!
If you have read Torian, you will indeed appreciate the opening chapters of Penny’s story as we get to see the other side of the suspenseful and captivating conclusion to Torian, and we see the progression of Penny’s story from an abstract character in Decker, to an established Heroine in her own right.
This story has a dark premise at its base, however, rather than concentrating on the more disturbing aspects of the subject story, the author has focused on the raw emotional intensity and behavioural ramifications of Penny’s circumstance and touches on how devastating the inner conflict she struggles with due to her life under Luther Torian, has had on her psyche.
Luca, although in my opinion is a secondary character in this one, is still the rock that Penny clings onto, even when she doesn’t realise she is actually tethering herself to her rescuer. He presents to Penny, via his gentle, yet harsh and merciless exterior, a lifeline that lends her the strength to see that a new future, one she never really thought possible, may just be in her grasp.
Note that this does end in a cliffhanger…that there is a book 2 to round off this outstanding story and I am so looking forward to the finale.
Bring it on!!!
LUCA by Eden Summers
Luca by Eden Summers, is the continuation and finale of Savior and brings to a fitting conclusion, the explosive and heart wrenching relationship between Penny & Luca.
Without going into detail (as it’s up to you to read ALL THE DETAILS) this story is a cracker of a reading experience and has all of Summers’ individualistic talented wordplay tattooed throughout to keep this one such an enthralling and entertaining read.
Luca follows a slightly less frenzied and ugly path than Savior did, and obviously centres more around the actual burgeoning relationship happening between Luca & Penny, however, the playing out of the mental struggles and final understanding that bring Penny closer to Luca is an interesting and delicious foreplay to the dynamic ending that very few will see coming.
With all the characters and larrikins we love/hate previously seen in the Hunting Her series, Luca lets us look a little deeper into this Mafia style family dynamic and sets up what I’m sure is going to be an unbelievably absorbing and captivating culmination to Cole and Anissa’s story which we know is expected and anticipated!
Another excellent 5 star read that I would definitely recommend.

FANTASTIC SERIES ! COMPLETELY ADDICTIVE !
A DEFINITE MUST READ ! ! !
SAVIOR
Penny is as much a ghost to herself as she is to her family and the rest of the world. Stuck, forced to live on an island far away from home, her dreams and hopes non-existent, as she resolves herself to a life with the devil, Luther Torian.
Penny takes care of the other girls Luther has collected as his personal playthings, on their way to be sold to the highest bidder or put out to work for him as slaves. She hasn't given up, as most of the girls have. Penny is a fighter and she'll fight until her last breath.
Luca works for Cole, Luther's son. Penny doesn't know much about Cole, but really how far can the apple fall from a tree like Luther? Not far enough. Penny was way wrong. Luca instantly becomes Penny's biggest supporter and appoints himself her protector. He knows her backstory and while learning about her ordeal with Luther, he becomes obsessed with revenge. He needs to keep her safe no matter what.
Cole is nothing like his father. Cole and Luca are here to take him down and finding Penny was something they never imagined possible. Decker would agree. Decker isn't someone Penny remembers anymore. She has no family, no friends, no past. All she has is now and now is looking pretty dim and her future isn't looking any better. If only she could trust the guy who keeps giving her hope, her new protector, the only man that has made her feel safe. Maybe Luca would see the woman behind the shame and hurt and heal her.
WOW, THIS BOOK ! EMOTIONAL, HEARTBREAKING AND HOPEFUL, ALL AT THE SAME TIME ! THIS SERIES IS ADDICTIVE. THE CHARACTERS ARE COMPLICATED AND NOT AT ALL WHAT THEY SEEM. GREAT READ ! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES ! ! !I

That monster Luther, had quite possibly damaged her beyond repair. Not if Luca can help it. From the moment he saw her, he felt a connection, one that couldn't possibly be acted upon. The strong, capable woman Luca helped rescue, is not woman he's been guarding these past weeks. Penny has become fragile, breakable, both mentally and physically. Luca just wants to heal her. How do you heal when you have no one, nothing, and are haunted by the things you had to do to survive? Simple. You don't. You just stay in survivor mode. When she was held captive, Penny had to be creative, conniving, lying through her teeth to keep herself and the others alive. Now after being rescued, Penny is locked up tight in her own head. Her fight is gone. She needs a a champion, someone to fight for her. She's spent years helping the women Luther abused, rescuing them the only way she knew how. Now Penny needs someone to rescue her.

Here is my review for both books in the series.
Savior:
I've been patient while waiting for this book and it was worth it! This book picks up close to the end of the last one in the series, Torian. This is Penny's and Luca's point of view. I did feel a bit uncomfortable with some of the scenes where you hear of the abuse the trafficked women have endured but Eden does a great job and is not too graphic with the storytelling. I am curious how Penny will get past her abuse and be able to live a somewhat normal life. Even though I know Luca is a bad guy, I am rooting for him and Penny and hopeful that things will work out for them in the next book. I received an advance copy of this book from the author and this is my honest opinion and voluntary review.
Luca:
This book picks up right after the last one in the series, Savior. This is Penny's and Luca's point of view. There's a lot going on in this book and I could not stop reading it until I finished. I love Luca and how he works with Penny. All of the characters from the previous books in this series make their appearances which I love. This is suspenseful but will also pull your heartstrings. There is a bit of a cliffhanger at the end which will lead into the next book in the series, Cole. I am anxiously waiting for that book and am hoping there will be more of Luca and Penny. I received an advance copy of this book from the author and this is my honest opinion and voluntary review.

I loved Luca and Penny
While the Saving Her duet stands alone from the Hunting Her series, it does have recurring characters so I do highly recommend meeting the other seriously deadly hot guys and their ladies before you see them in Luca and Penny’s story. You won’t begrudge the time or money spent – absolutely!
I loved Penny and Luca from the start, and at first I wondered how each of them could reach out to the other. Eden Summers wrote Penny’s broken soul so beautifully and poignantly that I wondered how she could switch off at the end of a writing session and carry on with everyday life, because I know that I had trouble stepping away and not continue to think about her and Luca, and his alpha voice of encouragement, bargaining and protector-ship.
Ms Summers gave a voice to the survivors of sex trafficking, and loudest of all is that surviving doesn’t end with the rescuing. The battle for her was far from over, and there were still some shadows in Penny’s past that hadn’t been put to rest, because there were still so many plot twists to unravel. Annnnd, there is a huge what-the-hell moment that leads into the second half of Cole and Anissa’s book!
This has been a heart-breaking duet, and I absolutely loved it. 5 stars all the way 💔

Luca.
Wow..that was explosive.
I've been waiting for this and damn, eden completely knocked this out of the ballpark.
I've loved Luca and Penny right from the start, their explosive relationship makes an exciting read.
"Luca dragged me from hell and delivered me to salvation."
Throughout Luca I was on the edge of my seat, I couldn't put it down, it completely consumed me, my emotions were all over the place, my heart was in my mouth, I never wanted it to end but was eager to find out what was going to happen.
The unstoppable force that eden is has delivered yet another amazing book.
Savior.
My god, I've been waiting for this for so long, Luca has always intrigued me.
We first learn of penny in decker then luca in torian but in savior they get there own spotlights.
I Absolutely love luca.
Penny has been through so much.
Between the angst and death and danger I couldnt put it down, I was hooked from the first page, the whole hunting her series is phenomenal.
I dont want to say alot because it will spoil it but my god it's amazing and I cant wait to see how thier story continues in the next book.

Just wow! The Hunting Her series is full of super hot and strong men, and the heroines are bad a$$, but the book Savior gives new meaning to a strong woman. The reality of what Penny has lived during her captivity brings to life a world no one ever wants to know. She’s strong, but broken. My heart broke with each realization of what she survived, but I also admired her strength. Such a great story and love the box set that gives you the next book immediately.
Luca
Trying to find your way after the most unimaginable horror, terror and trauma would be paralyzing for anyone, and Eden Summers gives such an emotional and riveting account of Penny’s journey once she’s rescued from the sex trade. She starts this journey with Luca by her side after he helped rescue her. My heart hurt for his self-control and discipline while he battled with himself to be the protector she needed while fighting his growing feelings for her. This fabulous read will take you on a soaring high and the next chapter you will be weeping from the emotions you feel for the characters. This is truly a book you won’t want to miss reading. I’m still feeling the emotional rollercoaster.

WOW!! These two stories are connected. They are Luca and Penny's journey and struggle. They are fast paced stories that just suck you in!!! There story is so incredible that I could not put down! They are intense, dark and emotional roller coaster rides and must reads! Warning - They may contain some triggers for certain individuals but I think the author has done a great job. These are nicely developed and very well written.
"Savior" - It's the beginning of Luca and Penny's story. It does end with a slight cliff hanger so I will be very excited to read Luca!!! Cole and Luca are on a mission and finding Penny is huge, especially for Decker. Unfortunately, what she has been put through has changed her.
"Luca" - Captivated from the very beginning seeing the struggles these characters go through. Penny is struggling to overcome what she has gone through. Luca is struggling trying to help her move forward. I will say it deals with a very tough subject matter and this author does a great job with this story. This series has been incredible and filled with adrenaline pumping action and suspense. Fantastic plot twists and turns and great characters.

SAVIOR
This action and promise filled novella/prequel to Penny and Luca's story throws you straight back into the Hunting Her series at break neck speed and it's one hell of a violent, delicious 5 star ride!!
For those that have read Summers' previous books in this series, and even if it's been awhile, you'll have been keen for the next installment following the riveting finale to Torian in Book #3 where we were introduced Luca and Penny and saw the sparks between these two flying, and it starts straight off where Torian left us.
This book sets light to those sparks, telling Penny's tragic backstory and Luca's passionate torment for this tortured but far from broken heroine.
It's an unnerving eye into the world of human trafficking and what this one brave resilient woman has had to do to survive; you can't help but champion her struggle and fight.
But is freedom really the release Penny has been seeking, and is Luca part of the solution?
Summers will make you wait for that answer, and it's just as well this story is now part of a box set!!
LUCA
If a story can leave you exhausted, it has undoubtedly been written by Eden Summers!
This lady knows how to combine action, suspense, torment, angst, and all-conquering love into a seamless story that will have you racing through the pages breathlessly, not able to stop until the very last word is read; and this second part of Luca and Penny's story delivers just that.
This sixth offering in the Hunting Her series is not a standalone and follows directly on from Savior.
And to really get the full enjoyment from this series, then you really should read all the books in order. And you won't be sorry you did.
Having been rescued from sexual slavery in Greece and returned to the US with her savior Luca, Penny is struggling to coming to terms with any semblance of a "normal life" whilst also navigating her feelings for her rescuer, as does he for her, battling with his own burning attraction for the broken warrior who he promises to protect whilst wanting to possess her heart.
Summers cautiously and respectfully details Penny's journey to discovering true intimacy with Luca, which she had previous to her abduction never experienced, and feared stolen forever from her.
This is an emotional, tenuous and simmering slow burn romance, so perfectly executed.
Coupled with nail biting suspense and the looming danger wound around their heady love story, this is one hell of a ride and so well worth 5 stars!!

This lady knows how to combine action, suspense, torment, angst, and all-conquering love into a seamless story that will have you racing through the pages breathlessly, not able to stop until the very last word is read; and this second part of Luca and Penny's story delivers just that.
This sixth offering in the Hunting Her series is not a standalone and follows directly on from Savior.
And to really get the full enjoyment from this series, then you really should read all the books in order. And you won't be sorry you did.
Having been rescued from sexual slavery in Greece and returned to the US with her savior Luca, Penny is struggling to coming to terms with any semblance of a "normal life" whilst also navigating her feelings for her rescuer, as does he for her, battling with his own burning attraction for the broken warrior who he promises to protect whilst wanting to possess her heart.
Summers cautiously and respectfully details Penny's journey to discovering true intimacy with Luca, which she had previous to her abduction never experienced, and feared stolen forever from her.
This is an emotional, tenuous and simmering slow burn romance, so perfectly executed.
Coupled with nail biting suspense and the looming danger wound around their heady love story, this is one hell of a ride and so well worth 5 stars!!

Saviour
Oh my god. This book. This book is so powerful, it made me feel so many different emotions and had me in tears. Ms Summers has weaved her particular type of magic over this story and has once again blown me away with her talent.
My heart is still aching for poor Penny and everything she has been through. It took me days after finishing to be able to write this review simply because I felt too raw after I finished reading Saviour.
I can not wait for the next book in this series and strongly encourage anyone who hasn’t read it yet to pick it up now.
Luca
This book. The only word I can think of to describe it is incredible. I couldn’t put it down and found myself completely consumed by the story.
Love. Love. Loved it.

SAVIOR - Wow is all I can say. Definitely deserves a five-star review and had me gripped from the first page and couldn't put it down. Having read the previous books in the series I was unsure about reading this book, as you get some of the heroine's horrendous back story in them. I like my books more lighthearted than that but Eden managed a traumatic subject very sensitively while creating a courageous and strong heroine. Luca was amazing and really came into his own in this book.
LUCA - What a fabulous book that I could not put down. Luca is so tuned in emotionally to Penny it makes my heartache. Features all the previous heroes and heroines from the series and the plot twists set it up perfectly for the finale of the series Cole.

Savior: What an incredible series. It keeps my heart racing as I feel like I’m experiencing all the intense emotions for each of these amazing characters. Penny had been sold as a sex slave and became Luther’s favorite. We finally get to experience this ordeal through her eyes as she is saved but yet, she is so broken that she truly doesn’t understand that she can be free. Luca has the challenge of getting her to trust him as well as Sebastian and Cole. Knowing she would see her brother again is horrifying, this allowed me to understand the levels she had gone to in her mind to survive the horror of the world she found herself in. Luca shows incredible compassion while keeping his focus on the task at hand. I love that Penny won’t leave behind the other woman at Luther’s home no matter what the cost to her. How she survived everything that she endured is mind-blowing. But it’s almost as if the biggest battle is yet to be fought as she steps back into a ‘normal’ life. How does she trust again? So excited for the next book to see how this crazy fabulous roller coaster ends.
Luca: Intense, gut-wrenching, hopeful, compelling romance. Penny has survived so much at the hands of Luther. Being rescued by Luca is both wonderful and difficult. Now they are in Portland and he is doing everything he can to help her heal but she is so afraid and trapped in the necessary actions she had to use to survive. Luca is struggling with how to help her because he loves her so much. I think the list is awesome and it allows these two to get to know each other and it helped Penny calm the memories. But this journey is oh so complicated. New threats surface which can shattered what little comfort Penny has found. Truly, I was kept on the edge of my seat the whole time wondering if Penny can find peace while dreading what would happen next. I love these characters with all their flaws, the balance of good vs. evil, has me captivated. Excited for Cole’s story.

I loved these two books. The story is beyond anything is expected. I could not put it down, and when it was finished all I could think was WOW!
Penny & Luca's story gutted me in the absolute best way. The story was amazing and heartbreaking, it was compelling and one of those stories that I know is going to stick with me for a very long time.
Penny's strength to overcome the horrors she faced, was incredibly inspiring. Luca's heart and ability to help Penny grow made me fall in love with him.
This is a drop everything to read type of duet!

Savior: Tension-filled story. The first part of this book is an overlap with the last part of Torian. I loved getting to read the same part of the story from a different perspective.
Luca: This is another great story about a bunch of people you hate to love because they act like jerks most of the time. That being said, Eden Summers makes sure to entice us to keep reading. She also does a fantastic job of shocking us several times in this story. I can't wait to read the next story in this series. Favorite line: “The good guy disguised as a villain.”

This author writes intense novels. They involve relationships that may be love, hate, or both, but the main characters are deeply flawed humans and there is much psychological turmoil as they develop into those relationships. This particular duet involves sex trafficking and other deeply troubling subjects. The writing is excellent and the characters are extraordinarily compelling. Do not confuse this duet with a rom com. It is not that and it may trigger strong reactions. I consider it an excellent bit of writing for this genre.

Heavy going but brilliant!
I’m really struggling with this review. It was brilliant but very heavy going. Penny was kidnapped and used as a sex slave for Luther. A completely evil psychopath. When she’s rescued she’s so traumatised by everything that happened to her that she struggles to rebuild herself. With the aid of Luca one of her rescuers. I couldn’t stop reading it but I can’t face another one in the series yet. I think I need to read something light and fluffy next.

A DEFINITE MUST READ SERIES
SAVIOR
Once again Eden does not disappoint! Her books just keep getting better and better 🥰
So we jump right back in to this story with Penny in Luther's clutches, my heart breaks for everything her and the girls have gone through, as a reader you can really feel their fear towards Luther. I forgot how much of a monster he is 😡
I love that the girls stick together in a 'sisterhood' to keep each other going, many books that cover these sort of characters are usually bitchy and hate each other so it was nice to see them all looking out for each other with Penny being a mother hen even if she didn't feel like it herself.
There is no hope for escape, no hero coming to save them, "optimism's wings clipped" until Luca 😍 but man does he have his work cut out for him, trust doesn't come easy to Penny anymore 🥺
We also see our beloved men in action once again, Torian, Hunter, Decker and Luca do not disappoint 🔥
The story and action was fast paced, I was turning pages like a mad woman, I couldn't get enough and not even ashamed to say I devoured the book in a day 🙈
Thank you for another amazing story Eden! Can't wait for the next book to find out how Penny and Luca are getting along 😏
LUCA
I've never wanted to bang two character's heads together as much as I did with Luca and Penny. They both had internal wars trying to put themselves off each other and fight the attraction 😭
Luca just melts me, the way he protects and looks after Penny is just everything 🥺 he's so damn sweet 😭 but only with her 😏
"He's handsome and savage and beautifully lethal"
And Penny, after everything she's been through bless her, she's so strong! With Luca by her side she is unstoppable 🖤
"For once, it seems my saviour needs saving and I want to take that role."
I just LOVE Eden's style of writing, I get so lost in her books that before I know it I'm at 90% and I don't want it to end 😭
Oh I also love that we get to see the other characters too, I forgot how much of a dick Hunter can be "my ninety fucking thousand dollar car" 🤣🤣
And don't even get me started on Cole Torian 🥵🥵

This book was a little hard to read. I absolutely loved Luca and how he handled Penny and her issues but to be honest savior was the Penny kidnapping and how Luca saved her but in Luca book when he takes her home and tries to get her to start healing that's when it got hard to read and over and over her issues and torment so I did finally just skipped about 7 chapters just cause it a was to much. The ending is very good and can't wait for Cole to be released.

Penny and Luca! OMG… these two?!… Just wow.
After finding out they were going to get their own story and then going into this book, I didn’t realise how much I needed a Penny and Luca story and I’m so glad there’ll be more! Yay! I couldn’t wait to get more of them as soon as I got stuck in to Savior. This book pulled me in and I had no choice but to go along this journey with them and I absolutely loved it. It was a rollercoaster of emotions and my heart just broke for Penny and everything she was/is going through.
I loved the way the story started and especially where it started from Penny’s POV, I loved getting to know what happened at that point from another character and what she had to endure. Then along came Luca. I absolutely loved the connection they shared right from the first moment they met. I loved seeing the stubborn sides both had and the protectiveness Luca had within him, I really loved how neither of them gave up and I can’t wait to see more of that.
An amazing job done by Eden, I’m itching to get my hands on the second book to Penny and Luca’s story.

Part 2 of the Penny and Luca duet! I’ve been dying to get my hands on this couple again and I devoured their book in no time. Eden Summers had my heart racing right from the first chapter. There was such a rollercoaster of emotions between these characters and my heart just broke reading about the details of what Penny and Luca have been through and the strength they still had within them.
I loved everything about this book - the lies, suspense, heartache, the danger and so much more. Eden has weaved a complicated story with these characters, and their world, making you come back for more every single time.
And with that ending?! OMG, my heart broke again after finding out about that huge bombshell and to have to wait for the next book to find out what happens is making me too damn emotional, gimme book 6! I’m so ready to read more.

Saving Her: A Dark Mafia Duet
Wow! An excellent book from start to finish. This is no soppy love story. It's a hard, brutal, scary, utterly fantastic read. Even the unpleasant bits were good though.
