![Torment (Savages and Saints Book 1) by [Seabrook, C.M.]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/514UOApCevL.jpg)
Quinn has loved Zee her whole life and despite the hurt and the six-year separation, she can't seem to shake her feelings. No man she dates can measure up, no man tears her up or torments her heart the same way. And when she finds him in her bed one night she can't deny that despite him making her crazy, she'd like to keep him there.
Zee knows Quinn has had a crush on him for most of their lives and somewhere deep inside he knows that it's her adoration that lights his heart. But he also knows that the darkness eclipses everything and ruins everyone he touches. His penchant for running away is the only thing that can truly break her heart and he'll do it because the one thing he knows above all else is that he's unworthy of love.
They've led a long life together but always on the periphery of one another. With the two families intricately connected it was inevitable, but what wasn't was the fallout after the St. James patriarch's death. Zee doesn't handle it well and his mistakes are all catching up with him. Even after six years of being gone there's nowhere else he can run without trying to make it up to everyone he's hurt. Except no matter how hard he tries he seems to only be successful at mucking it all up and then pulling a runner.
If it weren't for Quinn he'd be out the door right away but there's something about her that keeps him there. He won't admit that he yearns for her but with her permission he'll give her all the passion she craves with the caveat that it can't be permanent. Quinn accepts because she'll take anything she can get from the man who could very easily become her whole world.
I liked these people. Quinn was full of sass and stubborn as an ox but so very full of love. Through everything it's her love and willingness to see beyond the pain that makes me love her. She's immature at times but that kind of adds to her charm. Zee is such a martyr. But he doesn't even martyr well. He's full of self-loathing and a lot of it is with good reason. He needs a lot of help to work beyond all that to right his wrongs. I like him because he's redeemable and the way he is with Quinn when he's not being a prick is so tender and full of hope. I'm looking forward to seeing them on the periphery of the rest of the series. As the first coupling from these families they've brought together the Savages and Saints in a way that will provide fodder, angst, and incredible feels throughout the subsequent books.
