SRR GRADE:  A

Fueled by Instinct is the first book in a new trilogy by Rebecca Savage. Triplets, each of the sisters have their own story, and Devin’s story is first. An FBI agent, she is trying to help uncover a mole in the bureau, one who helped bring about the murder of her parents.

Lane is a journalist who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Witnessing the murder of the Chief of Police of New Orleans and his wife -- with pictures and tapes to prove it, have put in him serious jeopardy. The mob is out to kill him to keep him from testifying and he’s been in hiding. Even though Lane is already in Witness Protection the FBI mole has helped to uncover his new identity.

Devin is determined to keep Lane safe and ferret out the mole. She needs vengeance for her parent’s murders and she is determined to get it. What she doesn’t count on is the intense emotions which Lane elicits in her. From their first kiss, to hide Lane’s identity in a bar, both of them are thrown into a whirlwind of feelings neither expected or could have imagined.

Ms. Savage’s Fueled by Instinct is an extremely compelling story. The characters are enjoyable and Lane couldn’t have been easier to fall in love with. The pace of the book is fast, just as the characters have to move to keep one step ahead of their pursuers. The attraction between Devin and Lane is sizzling and keeps you longing for them to get together. Fueled by Instinct has earned a place on my keeper shelf. It doesn’t take instinct to grab this book, only the love of a good story!
