My Rating: ★★★★★ 5 Stars!


It’s said that women and men are from two different planets when it comes to communication, but how can they overcome the obstacles of prehistoric times when one of them simply doesn’t have the ability to comprehend language? 
Ehd’s a caveman living on his own in a harsh wilderness. He’s strong and intelligent, but completely alone. When he finds a beautiful young woman in his pit trap, it’s obvious to him that she is meant to be his mate. He doesn’t know where she came from; she’s wearing some pretty odd clothing, and she makes a lot of noises with her mouth that give him a headache. Still, he’s determined to fulfill his purpose in life – provide for her, protect her, and put a baby in her.
Elizabeth doesn’t know where she is or exactly how she got there. She’s confused and distressed by her predicament, and there’s a caveman hauling her back to his cavehome. She’s not at all interested in Ehd’s primitive advances, and she just can’t seem to get him to listen. No matter what she tries, getting her point across to this primitive, but beautiful, man is a constant – and often hilarious – struggle. 
With only each other for company, they must rely on one another to fight the dangers of the wild and prepare for the winter months. As they struggle to coexist, theirs becomes a love story that transcends language and time.


MY THOUGHTS:

"My life with Beh was beautiful, transcending everything that set us apart from each other and bringing us together with our family and tribe."

5 "Ehd luffs Beh" stars! I have no words for this. Ms. Savage has written a one hell of an epic love story that will warm the hearts of many. I laughed, smiled, and cried throughout the book. The love Ehd and Beh had for each other was unlike any other I have read before. I was in awe of how Ehd---despite of him being a caveman and was unable to communicate and understand Beh---would give anything for his mate, protect her and make her happy in the safety of his arms (and even obsess about putting a baby in her!). There are certain parts in the book that I cried a lot, and the last chapter before the epilogue brought a pool of tears to my eyes, seriously. I don't think I'll ever get over a book this wonderful and touching.

"I will provide for her. I will protect her. I will give her anything she wants."

"I want her; I know I do. It is far beyond not wanting to be alone anymore. I want her – only her. I will do anything to make Beh mine."

"In the darkness of the cave, there is a light inside her eyes that makes my heart beat faster. I know the emotions I see there are also reflected in my own gaze though I have never felt this way before. Beh softly repeats the same three sounds, followed by my name-sound."

"I wonder what I will do if she doesn't wake up, and I don't have an answer. As I lie back down next to her and pull her into my arms, my stomach growls, and suddenly I know exactly what I will do. If she doesn't wake up, then I will just lie with her until I don't wake up either."

"I can’t stop the tears. I don’t want to cry. I’m too tired to cry. My life with Beh was beautiful, transcending everything that set us apart from each other and bringing us together with our family and tribe."


Hands down to Ms. Savage for creating a uniquely, beautifully written love story that will have a huge stamp in our hearts.
