Book Summary:
As the captain of a schooner catering to the elite on the Caribbean Seas, Sebastian Stark does his best to avoid any human encounters. Interacting with people isn’t his thing, and he prefers the company of a bottle of vodka, a shot glass, and maybe a whore. There’s no doubt he’s hiding from a checkered past, but he does well keeping everything to himself…
…until the night his schooner capsizes, and he’s stuck on a life raft with one of the passengers.
Raine’s young, she’s cute, and Bastian would probably be into her if he wasn’t suffering from alcohol withdrawal. As the days pass, DTs, starvation, and dehydration become the norm. Even
the most closed person starts to open up when he thinks he’s going to die, but when she realizes their traumatic pasts are connected, it’s no longer the elements that have Bastian concerned.
He has no idea how he’s going to Survive Raine.
***
Bastian isn’t the most pleasant guy Raine could have ended up with in the middle of the ocean with no chance of rescue, but he has an uncanny knack for survival. As she digs through the walls surrounding the stubborn and challenging man, she finds something surprisingly different buried inside…
…and he can answer the question she’s asked for years.
As she learns more about what has brought him to this fate, Raine is determined to drag this self-destructive man back from the edge of the wave. Isolation is her only chance to tear the man out from inside of the animal, but this one has been abused for a long time.
She also has to live long enough to get through to him.

Excerpt:
“What’s your problem?” I snapped again. I hadn’t really meant to, I was just tense and pissy.
The smoke was helping, but what I really wanted was a drink. I didn’t suppose anyone packed any of those little tiny airplane-sized booze bottles in the survival kits.
“I…um…” she stumbled over her words and looked away. Even under her darkened skin, I could see red creeping into her cheeks.
“What?” I was annoyed now. If she was going to complain about my smoking, I was going to lose it.
“I…have to go to the bathroom.”
I laughed. I took one last long drag, getting it all the way up to the filter before I tossed the butt out onto the waves.
“Then fucking go!”
“Where?”
“Didn’t you notice the en suite bath?” I laughed again, and then took a smidgen of pity on her. “Over the side, where do you think?”
“Well…how?”
All right, she did have a point there. Or rather, she didn’t have a point. Or a pointer. I had to laugh again at my internal joke.
“Just…I don’t know…hang your ass out over the edge. Or get in the water.
Whatever.”
“I’d have to take off my suit.”
“So?”
She blushed again.
“What? You want me to hang out in the next room for a few minutes? I promise I won’t gawk at you.”
She didn’t move. Well, actually, she was still fidgeting around; she just didn’t make a move to actually solve her dilemma. If she kept this up, she was going to pee in the fucking raft.
“If it makes you feel any better, I’ve already checked you out front and back, had my mouth on yours and my hand on your tit, so it’s not like…”
She gasped and covered her mouth with her hands. I realized how what I had said sounded, considering she had been unconscious the entire time. I shook my head.
“I didn’t mean…ah, fuck.” I grabbed my shirt and flopped down on my back, covering my whole face up with the garment. I lay there for a moment but didn’t hear her moving at all, so I yelled at her again. “Get on with it!”
She moved. I could hear her shuffle over to the front of the raft and then move around in one place, presumably taking off her shorts and her bathing suit.
“If you are going to get in the water, put the life preserver around your waist first and hold on to the fucking ladder. I don’t want to have to dive in after your ass again.”
“Okay,” she said. “Um…where is it?”
“Right outside the opening – on the left.”
“Thank you,” she said.
“Whatever.”
I listened to her move around a bit more and then felt her move closer to the opening and off to the side. There was a soft splash, and a minute later I heard her pulling herself back up onto the raft.
“There’s something similar to a towel over there,” I said – flinging my arm out in the
direction of the back of the raft and waving my hand around. “Make sure you dry off the floor, too.”
direction of the back of the raft and waving my hand around. “Make sure you dry off the floor, too.”
“Thank you,” she said.
“Whatever.”
I listened to her move around some more, getting pretty fed up with just lying there, baking, with my fucking shirt over my head.
“Are you done yet?”
“Almost,” she said quietly. Her voice still sounded scratchy. “Okay, I’m done.”
I grabbed the shirt off my face and sat up, looking over at her. She was adjusting the straps on her suit and still blushing.
“Do you know why my…um…throat hurts?”
“Yeah,” I said. I didn’t elaborate. After a minute she finally asked.
“Why does my throat hurt?”
“Because you inhaled a shitload of salt water,” I stated. “It fucks up your throat and your vocal cords. Give it a day; it’ll be better.”
“Thank you,” she said, again.
“Whatever,” I replied, again.
I shoved my hand down into the sealed up container for rations and pulled out a carb bar. I tore it in half and threw one of the pieces at her.
“Eat it,” I instructed. “You can have the other half in six hours.”
“Six hours?” she repeated.
“Are you a fucking recorder? Yes, six hours.”
I knew I was being a bastard, but my brain was working overtime trying to figure out what our best course of action might be. Having her here made it ten times more difficult. If it was just me, I was pretty sure I would be fine. There was plenty of food and water for just me. I could fish, I could take care of myself, and I could stay alive under pretty extreme circumstances.
Having her here with me just…complicated everything.

Book Review - Surviving Raine (Surviving Raine, #1) by Shay Savage

My rating: 5 of 5 starsWow what a Story. You all know I read a lot of books and I find a lot of books that I read are really good and worthy of 5 stars. This one is worthy of 6 stars no doubt. This Book Owned me for 24 hrs. I could not do nothing else BUT think about Bastian & Raine. It is a Good thing I was home and got to sit and Do NOTHING but read this book, because it totally consumed me.
This is the story of Sebastian Stark Aka Bastian and Raine.
Bastian is the Captian of a Shooner and he does tours through the Caribbean Seas. He is not a people person . He is an Alcoholic who likes to drink himself till he pass’ out, and every now and then he gets himself a Whore. He cares about no one but himself . He has been that way for a longtime. His ship capsizes and this leaves him on a life raft with one of his female passengers. Bastian discovers pretty quick that he is not the only one he needs to care about , he now has a passenger that he needs to make sure stays safe also.
The story revolves around the two of them trying to survive after His Ship sinks and they are left on a Life raft . Thankfully Bastian has major Survival Skills . He learns quick what he has for supplies on the life raft and how long they can survive with what they have.
The first 24 hrs on the life raft are very trying for Raine as Bastian starts to go through alcohol withdrawals and he is not a nice person through it all . He is rude, Very verbally abusive , they argue a lot and Bastian wants nothing more than for her to just shut the hell up and leave him alone.
"Well, is there something I can do to help with that?" she asked, "or are you just going to yell at me all the time?"
As things get heated with his withdrawals and Raine constantly asking him what she can do to help him he finally lashes out at her very verbally .
"Yeah, there is something you can do," I said coldly, turning my glare at her. "Come here and blow me. That would probably ease a bit of my tension - especially if you swallow."
The sad thing was He knew deep down that he was being an A**Hole lol .
There is also a TON of sexual tension between these two , I mean after all they are stuck with each other and they have no one else around them.
Raine is the Polar opposite of Bastian , She is sweet, caring, and all she wants to do is help Bastian during their time on the raft. As they spend more time together Raine see’s there is something deeper in Bastian that has him acting like the rude A** he is and she starts asking questions and finally gets him to drop his protective barrier and he open’s up and tell her about himself.
"I want to, Raine," I said quietly. "I want to let you in. I just don't know if I can."
"I give you my life, my love, my soul,” I swore to her. “As long as I’m breathing, I’m yours. Even when I’m nothing more than a fucked up dick, I still love you.”
There is an HEA , But we are left with info that We will be hearing more from Bastian and Raine and Possibly someone from his Past who plans to cause trouble .
I received a copy of this book by being part of the Book tour . Shey Savage Knows how to write a story and you all will not be disappointed with this one. ADD it to your TBR list NOW .. and when it is released May 21st BUY IT !!!!!!
