Royal Savage ~ Victoria Ashley

 ROYAL SAVAGE 

I CAN’T CLOSE MY EYES… I refuse to. Every time I do, all I see is blood, death, and pain. I can feel it - almost taste it, bringing me back to that night. 

It doesn't matter that I'm still breathing; I no longer need it, I no longer want it. I despise it along with everything else around me. 

The only thing I long for is to fucking fade away. I've given up. Until her at least… 

AVALON. 

She comes into my world, knocking me on my ass. 

It turns me on to have her around me. Makes me want to wrap my hand around her tight little throat and fuck her until she feels my pain, feels the monster in me, but also makes me want to protect her from the very thing that she should be afraid of... me. 

Once she sees the damage that I’m capable of; she’ll look at me like everyone else around me does: with fear. 

AVALON KNIGHT 

HIS EYES... THE DARKNESS IN them draws me to him, making me want to taste him, feel him… and save him. I shouldn't have gotten on the back of his motorcycle that day. I know that now. Colton warned me. I was told it was dangerous. I was told that nothing would be the same. He was right. 

ROYAL is dangerous, dark, and seductive; the very thing that keeps me hanging on, willing to give my last breath just to touch him… breathe him in. 

He’s savage, inked, and highly captivating. So different from his brother… 

He's hazardous to my health, mind, and body, yet the only thing that I crave. I want to free him. I want to change his mind, but I'm afraid that he’s already too faded… 

So I have to admit, this was my first Victoria Ashley book. Why the hell did I wait so long to pick her up?! I absolutely loved Royal Savage!

Royal, bad ass with a big heart and traumatic past, blows right in and steals your heart. He’s sexy scary in all the best ways, but completely messed up in the head. He’s more romantic and emotional then he’ll ever admit, constantly wanting to keep his walls up, but he can’t stay away from Avalon. She’s sucked him in and she is all he thinks about. He wrestles with his past and if he can move on with this beautiful, sexy, smart woman, while letting go of what he had.

I love me a good, strong female character. Avalon is tired of taking her boyfriend’s crap and kicks him to the curb. She’s doing her now and dreaming about doing Royal too. She hates all the stereotypical bullshit, so she’ll do whatever she can to defend Royal against his parents, his brother or her boss. All of them think he’s a bad person for riding a motorcycle, wearing tattoos, standing up for and defending himself. They said he was destructive and dangerous, but once we find out the truth of what happened, I believe Royal did what he had to do and I don’t blame him one bit…..Neither does Avalon. She’s perfect for Royal and exactly what he needs.

"Hold on tight, Darlin', and don't fucking let go."

~Royal

While Royal Savage had death, destruction and drama, it also had love, hot sex and parts that hit you right in the feels. Love this couple and would totally love to read more about them! 

Kingpin: Book 2 (Cartel) ~ Lili St. Germain

They say love conquers all.

It's a lie.

Five days a week, I dressed in smart business clothes. I painted my face, and went to work as an accountant. But nothing about my life was normal.

For eight years I had been the property of the Gypsy Brothers Motorcycle Club. I laundered their money so well they'd never let me leave. My only glimmer of light was the man I loved. The man who had saved me.

Dornan.

His love had been the only thing that kept the demons at bay. But he'd become so immersed in the cartel's brutal business that I hardly knew him anymore.

Dornan had been my salvation, but he was also my undoing.

Would he pull me down into the darkness until he destroyed me? Could I save him?

Did I even want to?

Oh My God! Kingpin was one crazy, f*$ked up ride.

The story goes back and forth from where we left Dornan and Mariana to eight years later. Mariana and Dornan are still in love, but Dornan is still married and Mariana is still prisoner in her apartment. John, the Prez of the Gypsy Brothers, suspects Mariana is a “prisoner,” but Mariana will not give up any information, in the event it’s a test or could be used against her or her family.

I can’t begin to describe the emotional roller coaster I was on while reading this. Dornan and Mariana’s love is fierce and raw, but she starts to have feelings for John that she’s not sure how to label. John’s wife continues on her vicious cycle and it is now emotionally affecting his daughter. Mariana has received a full time bodyguard, Guillermo, who has now become like a brother to her all the while still working for Emilio, even though her father’s debt was supposed to be paid years ago. And let’s not forget to mention Murphy, who has continued to harass her.

Well all Murphy’s harassing has come to a head and he starts to blackmail Mariana. While Dornan, John and Guillermo suspect something’s going on, Mariana tries to hold it all in…..Until she can’t anymore and takes matters in to her own hands.

I cannot wait to read Empire!

Sometimes in life you are forced to do things you may not agree with. 

Family meant everything to Jude Calvert. 

He would do whatever it took to keep them safe and provide for them no matter what it took to make that happen. 

Even if that meant putting his own safety at risk, he had no other choice. 

Callie Raine has always felt a heavy attraction toward Jude. 

He was fascinating. 

He was undeniable. 

She knew there was so much more to him than he allowed anyone to see. But she was a headstrong woman and feeling weak was something she wouldn’t allow. 

Except when it came to Jude. 

However, when Jude is hit with the unexpected and forced to rely on others, Callie realizes he doesn’t take weakness easily. 

He becomes even more withdrawn. 

More angry. 

Will he finally give in and learn to lean on those who care? 

Or will he push them beyond the point of no return and once again be left to face his obstacles alone?

Jude…Broody, moody, rude Jude. He’s hot, sexy and a complete ass. But once I realize what he’s dealing with and what he has been dealing with at home, it make total sense. He tries to keep everyone away because he does not want them to feel obligated to help him.

Callie has been crazy about Jude for a very long time. Working together at the restaurant, she experiences the mood swings and short answers Jude doles out so no one really gets to know him. As infuriating as he is, she still wants him. Callie has a huge heart and when she learns of how much help he need, she drops everything to provider for his sick sister and her two kids.

Callie is easy to love and Jude’s sister, niece and nephew immediately fall for her. Despite knowing Jude will be angry with her and give her attitude, she doesn’t leave his house and continues to care for his family, refusing anyone who comes to try to relieve her. Jude finally lets his walls come down and he is just…Wow. He’s a completely different person. The kind and gentle words he says to Callie surprise her, as well as me.

Jude’s a great man, who did whatever he could to support his family. When his friends make it impossible for him not to open up and let down his walls, he becomes the man we only see glimpses of in the beginning of the story. He’s sweet, caring and he has a huge heart. One that he can share with Callie.

I love this series and all of C.A. Harms’ work. Undeniable is a great addition!
