Kade Cantrill is a soldier, a nomad without a Chapter to call home. The Savage Angels MC have welcomed him to Tourmaline though he has never felt compelled to stay in one place for long. But that was before he met her. If there’s one person who can convince Kade to stay, it’s Destiny Bennett.

Deaths Minions have a new leader, Adriel.  Their numbers have increased and he’s going to take back all the business the Savage Angels stole from his club. Adriel intends to start a war and he doesn’t care who or what gets in his way. Least of all, Destiny.

Destiny Bennett has always attracted the bad boys and when she finds herself at the center of an MC war, Kade must act quickly to save her from the wrath of Adriel.

Will this Savage Lover expel his own demons to be the one Destiny needs to heal her brokenness? Or will Kade continue to allow his past to haunt him and extinguish any hope of a happily ever after?

Favorite Quotes:

“You tell me when and where you need me to be and I’ll be there. I love you Kat and I don’t want anything or anyone to come between us, nothing is more important to me than you…”

“It’s always the way with this guy I don’t know whether to punch him or shake his hand.”

“If I get to do this for the rest of my life it won’t be long enough.”

My Review:

I read all four books to complete this review – nearly 1000 pages of MC drama, rockers, sexiness, alpha men, sweet romance, lies, deception, betrayal, secrets, criminal activity, and serious hawtness. I enjoyed Ms. Kelly’s humor, witty banter between the players, and her quirky characters of both the band and MC members. There were several main players to track but it was not a hardship and each book was an easy to follow and engaging story. I am totally snared and on the hook with this unique group, but also heartbroken at how the tale left me hanging. Hurry Ms. Kelly, I am tapping my little foot and nearly foaming at the mouth for the next installment.

Welcome to a fast and furious ride with the Savage Angels. Kathleen Kelly pulls you in from the get go. She opens you up to a world of emotions without even batting an eyelash. I went from adrenaline rush to anger to a few tears and then some laughter. It is all there what more could you ask for in a great read. These Savage Angels are protectors, alphas and lovers. You get the best of the Savage Angels along with a great cast of side characters. The women in this series are amazing as well. They are strong and sexy. Savage Lover left me with mixed emotions and I love when that happens. It gives me time to think about the story and the characters that I enjoy. I've been reading Kathleen Kelly's work from the beginning and I have enjoyed each and every read. She has become a one click author for me. The amount of creativity and suspense she keeps giving to the book world is completely outstanding. What I like about her books is that Kathleen Kelly is able to give you little pieces of updates from all the character in some form or fashion. This is a fantastic series, highly recommend it and get ready for a ride that will leave you breathless by the time you are done.

Hot,dramatic and exciting, I really loved Savage lover, book 4 of the Savage Angels MC series.

Kathleen Kelly's writing takes you on a journey into the dark twisted MC world, I love how descriptive she is with so many twists and turns keeping you on the edge of your couch.

I loved Kade *Swoon*, he is passionate, loyal, fiercely protective of those he loves and his MC and oh so hot.

When he finds Destiny after her heartbreaking ordeal he knows he has to protect her but also knows he has to take his time to make her his and get revenge for her and his fallen friends.

Soldiers fall and hearts are broken In this heart wrenching instalment of the series and the epilogue will leave you begging for book 5 as there is still unfinished business to deal with!!!

Must read! Highly recommend!!!!

I have loved kathleen since i read savage stalker! I love how she has evolved and found her own style as an author. Her books get better and better (even though you would think thats not possible) The only downside to this is the ending, i am now wishing my life away so i can get my hands on the next book!!

"Do not anger the Angels of the Lord, for they are fierce and will smite you. Do not hurt an Angel of the Lord for his brothers will rise up and you will be no more."

The Savage Angels have had more than their share of loss but when war is declared by an unknown they rally together to once prove they are a club not to be messed with. Things have been quiet since the tragic events surrounding Dane and Kat's wedding, with the club finding its balance after the horrors but unfortunately life in an MC is rarely a walk in the park. The Cherry is shot up, an MC member is found beaten to death and Destiny takes a personal hit in the latest war to start on their turf. The Savage Angels are unsure where the threat is from and they battle against the clock to find those responsible. Can Dane lead his MC to victory, claim retribution for the losses and keep Kat happy or is he just juggling too much?

This is also Destiny and Kade's story. After finding her in a car wreck he becomes her rock. Helping to anchor her during a storm of torment he quickly realises that she holds the key to his heart. Destiny feels safe in his arms and with the help of Tobias she slowly starts the healing process. Can Kade see past her being a victim and see the woman that desperately needs him? Kade is lost in his need for vengeance and to find those responsible. Driven to keep Destiny safe whilst doing club business can he be the man she and the club needs?

This fourth book in the Savage Angels series does not disappoint. It's fast paced, has all our favourite characters and has the usual blend of romance and angst that we have all come to love. With sub plots and the beginnings of other stories I found myself immersed in the wonderful world of the Savage Angels, desperate to find out more about all of them. I loved that Kat and Dane do not get their happily ever after as easily as some as their worlds collide, a rockstar and a biker...can they ever really work? The MC has its enemies, can Dane prove he isn't pussy whipped and show the rival MC that you don't start a war with the Angels and expect to win?

A four and a half star I need to know what happens next read!

HOLY ACTION PACKED STORY BATMAN! I have become addicted to this series, and Kathleen Kelly has been added to my list of authors trying to KILL ME, and is forevermore hash tagged #EVILWHORE! Kade Cantrill is a nomad without an MC chapter to call his own. The Savage Angels have welcomed him to Tourmaline, and although he's never been compelled to stay, there's one person who has him thinking about putting down roots. Destiny Bennett has always attracted the bad boys even though she's a good girl that stays to herself while going to law school. But she finds herself in the cross hairs of an MC war, and needs Kade to protect her from the Death Minions with their new savage leader Adriel. Will Kade be able to keep her safe from Adreil's wrath?

OMG this story started with a bang, and I never caught my breath. The character development is fantastic, with an amazing cast of secondaries to round it out. A super fast paced, intense action packed, and extremely well written storyline flows effortlessly. Kathleen Kelly's diabolically brilliant writing style kept me on the edge of my seat cover to cover, as she can weave together twists and turns to keep a heart pounding hard. The OMG moments never stopped coming out of left field, and I couldn't guess which way the story was going to save my life. And, although, most of my questions were answered, there are just still several I'm still waiting with bated breath to be answered. That leads me to the cliffhanger ending that had me yelling obscenities out loud, with my kindle almost coming to a disastrous end. The next book can't come quickly enough, so I will HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY & HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book, series, and Kathleen Kelly to all who will listen!

       *** Received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review ***
This is the fourth book in the Savage Angel series and tell the story of Kade Cantrill and Destiny Bennett. Kade is a nomad without a steady homestead but was given an invitation to joined the Savage Angels MC. Destiny is a law student working at the Cherry as their leading acts which draws the attention of Adriel, the new leader of the Death Minions. Evil minded Adriel wants to get revenge for destroying his fellow MC brothers with shooting up the Cherry and demise acts. This is the meaning you can't kill a snake because he'll come back alive!! In an attempt to warn Kade and Dane, she is attacked and have a car accident. Kade and Zeke locate Destiny and call an ambulance, she later wakes up in the hospital with a bodyguard (Kade). The two have an attraction to each other but never act on it.There are so many twists and turns in this story which makes it outstanding and very interesting, keeping the reader invested in what's coming next ( another all-nighter for me). The main focus of this series is on how life inside as well as around the MC is lived and played out daily with and without violence. The story has great flow and the characters really come to life as if you are there. A lot of stories like this tend to focus only on the two main characters and makes it seem like no one else exists. We also get to see what happens to the minor characters and their opinion as the leading characters in previous books.( Kat and Dane). This book, like her others, ends with a bit of a cliffhanger but leads to the next book craziness and unusual villian shenanigans. I can’t wait for the next book and looking forward to it...

Ok.... Savage Town, Book 3 in the series was mega intense!!  Savage Lover book 4 is like the intermission that lets you relax a little, and then you go back in and get so much info on so many stories that again, Kathleen Kelly just rocks your world with her writing style!

The story centers around Kade Cantrill who is a soldier for the Savage Angels MC, and a nomad along with his brothers JJ and Zeke.  He is a babysitter for their strip club and Destiny Bennet is definitely more than a job.  Destiny is the TOP show at the club, and is working her way through school and does not play and mix business with pleasure.  That just throws her in the middle of a club war, and she is hurt badly because of it.  Kade needs to save her, he just needs to let go of his past to do it!

Princess-Elizabeth-300x252While all this is going on, you still get lots on Kat Saunders and Dane Reynolds.  Their wedding was a fiasco with a body count!  As Kat is healing Dan is suffering.  His MC is under attack, and to protect his bride, he thinks keeping her in the dark is the way to go.  Well Kat has other ideas and will not be dealt with that way!  Their story completely blindsided me in this book.  If Kathleen doesn't get me the next book asap I will just go crazy!

Savage Lover by Kathleen Kelly continues the crazy twists and turns for all those involved in and around the Savage Angels MC as well as adding some new action. If you are new to Kelly’s books I suggest to read them in order as they all flow together. This MC is a little different than others, not utterly clean but far from evil. This is an MC on their path to legit and away from things that put their members in jail or the ground. “We aren’t saints and we sin a little but god can sort that out” is a great way to describe both the brothers and their women. Kelly’s writing style is not a ‘one and done’, where every book in the series focuses on one couple with minor mentions of previous couples. There are multiple couples mentioned in every book as well as outsiders that also play into the story line. The couple from the first book, Kat and Dane, are primarily followed throughout the series. For the most part the focus of this series is on how life inside and around the MC is lived. Kelly writes from every person’s perspective rather than a single POV so that you get the most out of every character. There are a few minor grammatical errors but not so many that I could not enjoy the story. This book, like her others, ends with a bit of a cliffhanger and contains some dark material. I really enjoyed this book and the series overall so it gets 5 stars from me. Cannot wait for the next book! I received an ARC for an HONEST review.

Review by: Melanie
(5 stars)

Wow. This is the fourth book in the series and Kathleen really got into her stride with this one. It was a little darker than the previous books, content wise, and the action started pretty much from the get go. I loved it! For me it was exactly what I like to read; maybe not quite as much sexy time as I usually like, but it really wasn't needed and isn't a bad thing.

The characters were great; Zeke is awesome and I hope to see lots more of him as he wasn't the main lead in this book. The guy who was though, Kade, was the kind of bad boy everyone likes to love. You know the kind, where they are tough, moody, sexy as hell but you just know they will protect you with their life and make you explode like a firework in the bedroom. Yep, he's one of those!

And as for Destiny... loved her. She stayed strong despite what she went through and refused to bend to the will of the bad guy. She's someone I could easily be friends with. Well, you know if she was real and not a character in a book. I feel like I'm gushing, and maybe I am, but I'm so impressed with the way this series is going, I can't help it.

Anyway, I think you should get the idea by now that I really enjoyed Savage Lover and it gets a big fat 5 stars from me. I really can not wait for Savage Sacrifice.

I was pulled right into this story. The story flowed well I was kept interested. The story has laughs, pain, rape, suspense, twist and turns, secrets, murder, grief, and heartbreak.

If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) first
Savage Stalker (Savage Angels MC, #1)
Savage Fire (Savage Angels MC #2)
Savage Town (Savage Angels MC #3)

This story is about all things surrounding the MC. You get POVs from a few of the MC Brothers. The new leader of the Death Minions, Adriel wants Dane and The Savage Angels to pay. So he has decided to hit them where it hurts. Destiny works at the club as a dancer but somehow finds her way into the middle of the war. When Kade tries to help her they finally find out just what happened to her. Now it’s time for payback. Dane is ready for payback but not ready to reveal all of what is going on with Kat. He shuts her out. Can Kade help Destiny heal after her ordeal? Can Dane let Kat in or will he push her away forever? Can this MC catch a break and take out the enemy and start to heal from the aftermath?

I loved these characters and also a few of the side characters. I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the next story from this author.

WOW! Another amazing 5 star read from Kathleen Kelly. This book is incredible. I absolutely loved it! This book is action packed from the beginning and I couldn't put it down. All has been quiet since the tragedies surrounding Dane and Kat's wedding. Perhaps a little too quiet. Out of nowhere, all hell breaks loose. A rival MC starts to make its presence known in a very big way. When the Death's Minions hit the Savage Angels, they hit them hard and show no mercy. Their numbers are increasing and they plan to get everything back that the Savage Angels have taken from them. Their new leader Adriel is ruthless and wants to get rid of Dane Reynolds in a bad way. Do the Savage Angels have what it takes to stand up to and eliminate this latest threat? Or has their president gone soft now that he's married to a famous rock star? This story is a little darker than the other books in this series and I must say it's my favorite. I can't wait to see what Kathleen has in store for us in Savage Sacrifice. You don't want to miss this fourth installment of the Savage Angels MC series. You won't be disappointed.

If your looking for a great 5 STAR MC read then grab book four in the savage angels series by Kathleen Kelly!! I promise you won't be disappointed!! This book has plenty of twist and turns and it will keep you on the edge of your seat!!
Savage Angels have been trying to keep their MC clean and on the right path. Dane the president, and Kat, his wife, have made a life in Tourmaline things are starting to settle down for them when someone decides it is time to make a move against the Savage Angels. Now that they are on high alert Dane must figure out what to do. He gets some of his best men to look for the one responsible for the mess that was left behind.
Kade, Zeke, and JJ are more than happy to help Dane with this problem. What Kade didn't expect was to meet a very attractive woman, lose someone close to him, and find a place to call home.
Can Dane find out who has made a move against his MC? Can Kade keep the ones close to him safe? You must read book 4 Savage Lover to find out!!
Thank you Kathleen Kelly for this amazing book!! I look forward to reading more from you!!

Savage Lover is the fourth book in Savage MC series and should not be read as a stand alone. I would highly recommend reading the series in order.

As with all the previous books, Savage Lover is told from multiple POV's and means that we get lots of insight from previous and new characters. It also means that each read is quite fast paced and doesn't stagnate. However, for me, it also means that we don't always get right into the heart of the new characters and in this case, I would have loved a little more from Kade and Destiny as it I felt we just brushed the surface of them.

What I really did enjoy about Savage Lover was that it was packed full of MC action. I enjoyed the plot and thought the MC element of the story was great.

I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Adriel has come to town to get even with the Savage Angels MC. One of the ways he decides to do that is to attack and defile their big earner at the strip club. My heart hurt for Destiny as this monster turns her world upside down. It isn't enough that he rapes and almost kills her. He wants to keep terrorizing her and eventually kill her. Kade protects and falls for Destiny hard. They are scorching hot together and I loved seeing that tender side of him. He is a Nomad looking for a home with the SAMC and finds that home with Destiny. Adriel is a monster and will not stop until he kills everyone, but he has no idea what the SAMC will do to protect not only their club but also Destiny. I really loved her story and want more of this series.

I give Savage Lover 5 hearts!

I liked Kade, he was protective, possessive, sweet, and caring, “baby, we can go, we don’t have to stay here. You tell me what you need to do and we’ll do it,” I say in a soothing voice." I couldn't get over how caring Kade was and how he was always thinking of Destiny's comfort, “baby, I am so past interested. I want nothing more than to fu –“ I stop myself and search for another word . “Than to have sex with you. To cherish you but baby I’m so highly strung right now, I’m scared of what I’ll do to you,” I admit, as the thought of it makes my ***k become even harder." I really enjoyed this book and I can't wait for the next one.

I have missed this series and i didn't realise how much I missed my Dane. I couldn't wait to find out more about him and Kat.
A new prez has arrived from another club and he's a totally asshat. He has a bug up his butt about the MC and he's determined to cause trouble.
Unfortunately Dane is too busy dealing with club business and it takes its toll on Kat.
This series is told with different POV which didn't annoy me previously but as we didn't get much of Dane and Kat, I was a little disappointed I wanted to know more about their life together.
I felt there was a lot going on, maybe too much in one story.

Review ~~ Savage Lover



Savage Lover
by Kathleen Kelly


QueenZany 5 STAR REVIEW


Holy Shit Balls!!!
Kathleen Kelly has upped her games with “Savage Lover”!!!
Its seems to be a faster pace book. That just kept me fascinated. Along with being a bit darker in nature. Which I’m always down for.
The series just seems to get better and better with every book. Yes it seems like there will be another one. Since yes there is a cliffy.

If you have issues with rape/forced sex...this book is not for you. As well as cheating.
This book was really hard for me. I struggled with it a lot. I do not normally read books that include rapes/forced sex or cheating and surely not all in one book. I did get through it so that speaks some for the manor in how it was written and the reason for which I gave a 4 star review. I would suggest a warning in the beginning of the series that the series itself contains rape and cheating for those to choose. Once you get passed those issues the story line is good.

Oh Kathleen Kelly, how I love you!! This is an amazing story, part of an amazing series and I CANNOT wait for the next book. This book has a dark beginning, so I warn those with violence against woman triggers to beware. Other than dark, this book has emotions (I hate crying, but this book brought me to the edge), blood, some hot sex and an incredible story. I highly recommend this book! I give it 5 stars!!
