Twin Savage (Porn Star Boyfriend Book 2) by Sunniva Dee




Amazon Link


“I don’t think this is a good idea,” I whisper, “but it feels like I... love you... back.”

My chest is full of relief and misgivings. I just gave away a game I hadn’t planned. I’ve left myself fragile to him. Now he can treat my heart the way his brother did, crush it, make me suffer and fear for the night and for tomorrow. 

“Don’t be scared, baby. Nothing changes, okay? I’ve known for a while now. It’s why you’ve been so angry with me. Woman are odd creatures.”




Twin Savage is book two in the Porn Star Boyfriend series. No background information is necessary to read this installment. I will be honest. I began this series and expected nothing but a quick, salacious read. It was not at all what I expected. This book took me on an emotional roller coaster. It deals with grief, guilt, friendship, and love. It is not at all a sexual exposition. Twin Savage surpasses the enjoyment I got from The Truth About Porn Star Boyfriends, the first book in the series. I highly recommend them both.

As Geneva's grief and guilt consume her over her fiance Julian's accidental death, insomnia develops. She attempts to quiet her pain by visiting her family, which does not help. When Geneva returns to the house she shares with seven roommates, the men begin to cater to every need she has, even her inability to sleep. Finding solace in the arms of her male friends helps Geneva get through the painful nights.

Geneva has always been less than pleasant to Luka, who is also Julian's twin, due to his job in the porn industry. Luka adheres to the pattern, one roommate a night making Luka number seven, and the barrier between the two of them begins to fall. During this time spent with Luka, Geneva learns important things about her relationship with each twin, and her emotions start on the long road to healing.

Geneva takes what some would say an unconventional approach to get through her grief. I found her arrangement with the roommates appropriate for the character and the situation. Geneva is clear the rules of their agreement, one man at a time, one man per day, and none of her roommates take advantage of her. I genuinely believe they care about Geneva and want to ease her pain. Geneva and Luka's struggle to be together is a painful, frustrating, sensual, and wonderful one. Luka is patient and perceptive to Geneva's needs as she comes to terms with her desire for him. Geneva's distaste for Luka's lifestyle does not fade so easily. In the end, what occurs broke my heart, but it had to go as it did for Geneva and Luka to become a couple.

It becomes clear early on where the story is going to go, but that does not take away from the journey there. The basic plot's predictability in no way hindered my enjoyment reading it. All my opinions are my own and may not match that of others. I urge all readers to come to their own conclusions.
