Rating: 4 out of 5

Solid 4 out of 5 Stars; I liked the sequel so much more than the first book in the series! Actually, I loved the sequel. Savor Me left off where Devour Me ended with the cliffy. I loved that cliffy in Devour Me by the way. Taryn went back to New York leaving Errol behind in Paris.  Taryn comes back to help her mom and brother, Bobby with the family restaurant.Did I connect with the characters: OMG, this book was so different than the first book, Devour Me.  I completely connected with Taryn and Errol in Savor Me.  Taryn was a "runner" and did act a little immature about certain situations, but I loved it. LOVED IT!!!"He was a womanizer, the kind of man who loved women, but could never love a woman. His eyes wandered, and constantly sought a new challenge, a new conquest, and a new plaything to occupy his time."I love when the womanizer falls for the regular girl.  This book had just enough drama with Errol's ex-lover that I love and seek out in romance stories.  Loved those scenes.I finally trusted Errol's feeling for Taryn. I did not trust how he felt for Taryn in Devour Me. In Savor Me, I felt how he truly wanted her to his and only his. I fell in love with Errol which I thought could not and would not happen."You're like a piece of the puzzle that's always been missing. You make me feel whole and you have a way of bringing light into a life that's always been dark."Positives:  I am so happy that even though this book is an erotica, steamy read, the story line was not lost in the sex. The sex did not happen in "every" chapter.  AND when Errol and Taryn did connect, it was steamy and hot.  Also, I loved how we got a few chapters of Errol's POV.  Those were some of my favorite chapters. I always love a guy's POV."You make me feel at home, Taryn. No matter where I am, if I'm with you, I feel like I'm home."I think what helped me see Errol as more "human" was that he told Taryn what his life was like when he was a child and how he came to buy and manage his first restaurant. (And thank you to the author for not having Errol share his story at the very end of this book, but early on in the book). Errol talked about his grandmother in Devour Me, but we never got more about where he came from or what his life was like.  Also, Errol giving his background story explained some of his behavior in Devour Me and why he acted the way he did. I hope in Consume Me, we hear more about how his life was as a child.  Errol is an interesting person who I just really grew to like in this book."Do you know what it's like to be afraid, Taryn...to really be afraid?"I also want to add that I LOVED (they were my favorite scenes) when Taryn and Errol worked side by side at the restaurant.  It wasn't about sex and how much steam there was between them.  It just showed how two people worked well and could be together.Negatives: It bugged me, and this is how I felt, that Taryn kind of strung her old high school friend along.  When she felt those weak moments with Errol she would use her friend. Some of the moments/behaviors in the book were a little immature, but I did love the moments of drama that happened.Do I recommend?  Yes, but I recommend that you read Devour Me first.Bottom line:  I love Taryn's brother, Bobby.  He needs his own book, but it has to be 7 years later from the present when he is 25 or even a little older.  He is too young at 18 to be serious about love.  Like he said he loves not having any obligations.  However, Bobby is a great guy and needs a girl that will challenge him, but have a huge heart like him.  AND I cannot wait for Consume Me! September cannot come fast enough! I want that book NOW!!!  I am a new huge fan of Kailin Gow!  I will definitely read more of her books."You consume now and for always, Errol."Book Format Read: A copy was provided by the author for an honest review.
