They say we Locke brothers are savage and that we’ll take care of any motherfucker who steps out of line without even batting an eye. They’re right as shit. The last thing you want to do is get on the bad side of a Locke. There’s no fucks given when it comes to protecting the people we care about. We’ll fight to the motherfucking death if it comes down to it. So when Wynter shows up on our property with a busted-up face, looking for protection, you better believe that’s what she’ll get. It may have been three years since I’ve seen her, but I instantly feel the need to protect her. It consumes me, turning me into a monster that even the devil himself doesn’t want to fuck with. I know she’s here because she’s certain I’ll go to great lengths to protect her, but I’m going to show her that she’s gonna want me for a hell of a lot more than just that. I can take care of her, not just making sure she’s protected, but by showing her with my body how good I can make her feel. I’m going to show her that sometimes savage… can be good.
WYNTER LOWE
I don’t know what I was thinking when I showed up at Sterling’s house. I guess knowing that only he could protect me made me do this pretty stupid thing. The Locke brothers are dangerous and have been since long before I really knew them. Coming here beaten won’t just humiliate me and make me feel weak, but I know it will get the Locke’s worked up. And hurting the person who did this to me runs strong in my veins. But maybe that’s the reason I came here… because I knew they’d help me no matter what. All it takes is one look at Sterling for me to realize my feelings for him are still there… and strong as hell. I want to hold onto these emotions because after what I’ve gone through they make me feel safe, protected, and like nothing can touch me. Sterling makes me feel like all of that and more. I want to be his and this time, the dark rumors around town, won’t keep me from letting that happen.
New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author
Hey everyone!! I'm the author of the Walk of Shame Series plus many other titles! If you're into reading about sexy, dirty talking alpha males then you're in the right place!!!
Any books listed under my name that aren't Romance do NOT belong to me! They just keep appearing under my name.
Super hot cover on this one. Great representation of the hero. Good composition and interesting title work. It's also similar in style to book one, so good continuity within the series.
I enjoyed this one a lot, but it fell a little short of meeting my expectations after the greatness that was Damaged Locke.
This one felt a lot tamer in the sex department to me, and I would have liked some fleshing out of their relationship in high school. To this point, some glimpses into their pasts together would have gone a long way in helping me to understand/believe the strong feelings both were supposed to have harbored for the other. That said, I almost would have preferred that the hero had just ran across her injured and they met that way instead of having them have known each other before.
Those issues aside, like I said it was still a very enjoyable read for me. No OW/OM drama. No angst. A few hot sex scenes. A fabulous cast of secondary characters and two very likable main characters. I am in lust with these Locke brothers and can't wait to read the next book. So two thumbs up from yours truly.
‘SAVAGE LOCKE’: is the second book in Victoria Ashley’s & Jenika Snow’s ‘Locke Brothers #2’ series. It picks up where the first book left off.
Partying late at night around their bonfire they are alerted to the lights of a vehicle coming down the long drive away, Locke recognises the small car straight away, he hasn’t seen the occupant Wynter for a few years but what has his blood boiling over is the bruising and cut that runs down her face..
➽ I want to hurt whoever the fuck did this to her. I’ll take sure to work them over so much that not even a dental record can identify them.
Someone is going to pay for what he’s done to her. And it’s not going to be pretty..
Winter and Savage have a connection that goes right back to their college days but they never acted on it, once graduation came around Winter took off away from her over bearing control freak of a father but she always thought about that one boy she’d left in a town she’d vowed never to return to.
But escaping out of her abusive ex boyfriend's clutches she goes back to the one boy now a man that will help and protect her, and that is Savage Locke the man all fear.
These Locke brothers may have a lot of faults but when it comes to protecting one of their own and they lay down their lives for a loved one makes you embrace their savage darkness.
By the time we graduated, Sterling had moved onto bigger, more dangerous things, causing the whole town to fear not only him, but all the Locke brother's.
You’ve got to love these Locke brothers, when it comes to protecting ones they love they don’t mind getting down and dirty, out comes the back alley fighting, out come their fighting tools, in Savages case you’ll get very acquainted with his knuckle busters, those things barely leave their victims standing.
I reach in my pocket for my brass knuckles , and get ready to beat some motherfucker’s ass.
Like the greedy bitch I am when it comes to tatted up bad boys I devoured this in a matter of an hour, once I started I couldn’t put it down, it’s a super, hot fast, read. Even though it’s a short novella you still connect with the story and characters, there’s nothing I would change about this book, from the beginning right up till the end I was enjoying my crazy ride with Savage.
Sterling Freaken Locke!! Man-o-Man he is Awesome!!
“I’m yours.” I smile against her neck before kissing it. “I’m Sterling Locke and I fucking belong to you. Every last bit of me.”
Sterling has loved Wynter since HS but never thought he was good enough, so he never tries. So when she shows up years later needing help from an abusive ex, he makes it his priority to help her out and make her his.
“I’ll never hide the way I feel for you from anyone. When I finally find that piece of shit he’ll know with the pain I inflict upon him just how I feel about you, too. He’ll feel it in every part of his body.”
Sterling and Wynter are super cute together. He's totally possessive and makes sure Wynter is his top priority.
“She’s part of the reason I kept fighting when all I felt like doing was giving up . . .”
I can't get enough of these brothers. People hire the Locke brothers when they want others to pay for hideous crimes. And when they dish out pain, wow are they creative and savage. No one messes with the Locke brothers. The town deems them dangerous and evil, encouraging everyone and anyone to stay away.
Yes, they are harsh but not to innocents or women. Their upbringing was horrible which is what brought them on this path to hurt criminals.
This is definitely a story with an OTT protective, possessive, and obsessed H. There were a few things that kept me from giving this a better rating. First, the story is too short. Second, the H and his brothers drink and smoke a lot. Third, there is no mention of them working. How are they able to support themselves? Lastly, the couple in this book and the last one did not get married. They are just together.
Violent, but I loved it. Perfect read. The only om was the ex and they were never in contact, Sterling just gave him what he deserved. One of my favorite series.
Raw and gritty... "I'll make sure she's avenged, make sure she knows I'll always protect her. For her I'd level the fucking world." That pretty much sums up this gritty and powerful second book in this dark and emotionally engaging series. It will grab you by the throat and not let go! Sterling has wanted Wynter for a long time now, but, she moved on and yet he's never forgotten her. When she appears at his house battered and bruised he will give her the revenge she could only get by coming to a Locke. Sterling is such an amazingly dark and raw man. He lives hard but protects those he loves even harder. Wynter is a beautiful and strong woman that is the perfect fit for Sterling. The heat and chemistry with the two are off the charts! I love the family dynamic and the good verses bad feeling they leave you with. This story deals with the raw emotion of abuse, revenge, and redemption. This is a well thought out and incredible book. I sincerely enjoyed every minute of it!
this was a lot more gory than the first one, the jocker face and the make out while covered in blood was a little too much for me, but other than that, i did liked it!
The Locke Brothers are bad ass and twisted. Each brother has their own story and with each story comes more darkness and hope.
Savage Locke is Sterling and Wynter's story.
Sterling Locke is the Savage of the three brothers. He's a ruthless SOB. Sterling has always loved Wynter from a distance. When he dreams of a future, something he seldom does, he sees Wynter. So imagine his surprise when Wynter comes barreling back into his life all bruised and bloodied. Now Sterling Locke is seeking vengeance for the woman he loves. They don't call him Savage for nothing!
I loved the hell out of this novel. I have been waiting to get my hands on Sterling's story. It was everything I was expecting and much more. Wynter is the calm Sterling's been missing in his life. I loved Wynter and her need to seek independence and freedom from her abusive ex boyfriend and her controlling father. I loved how some of Sterling's bad ass rubbed off on her.
I am in love with these brothers and their stories! You can't get anymore dangerous than the Locke Brothers!
I didn't like this one as much as the first, but it was still very enjoyable. There wasn't anything "wrong" with it. I found the connection of the MCs to be lacking, especially compared to the first. I also dont believe this Locke lived up to the hype of what his character was supposed to be.
5 Stars to Savage Locke: Locke Brothers #2 by Victoria Ashley & Jenika Snow.
Sterling & Wynter.......
Another Locke brother gets his story. Sterling is the middle brother and no less intense and vicious than Ace or Aston. Sterling, like his brothers, is not to be messed with. They are feared and for good reasons. However, while they can be brutal, they are intensely loyal and protective of those they care about.
That said, I wasn't sure I would like this series but because I am a fan of both Victoria Ashley and Jenika Snow, I gave it a try. I'm glad I did because I really love these Locke Brothers! They are what I call dark heroes who won't think twice about breaking the law to dish out their own brand of justice.
When Wynter, a girl from Sterling's past, one that he had strong feelings for, shows up after three years, bruised and battered, Sterling is ready to go to war. Not only will he avenge Wynter, he will make her his own once and for all.
This book is so short and can easily be read in a couple of hours or less. But even though it's short, it packs a punch!
There is some brutal violence in this book, intense characters and powerful emotions. I loved this book and can't wait for Ace's book next!
This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it.
The Locke Brothers. Fuck me they are ruthless, vicious unforgiving but their reasons are admirable. They take matters into their own hands.
Sterling Locke aka Savage because he's unrelenting and if you cross his path your almost as good a dead.
Winter has returned home and sought refuge with Sterling from her piece of shit boyfriend.
It's immediate that these two have a past and I found myself immediately engaged in the story wanting to know why they weren't together anymore.
Both seem to have some deep issues stemming from their family life but the connection btw them is almost electric.
Sterling holy hawtness batman. He is Fucking intense yet so patience and gentle with Wynter. He's fiercely protective and that is hot.
"For her I'd level the Fucking world."
OMFG this book is just dayummm. Sterling and his words he's is commanding and just GAH.
"I need to make you scream and tumble beneath me so you know I'm the only man you want buried inside you. Ever."
If I wasn't sitting down reading my legs would have turned to jelly.
Seriously Sterling is kind of an asshole but I love those types of characters in books. At the same time he's sooo fiercely protective or Wynter that my insides are tuning to mush.
"How long have you wanted me to own you, Wynter?."
Are you kidding me right now. I've officially lost all control of my vagina at this point.
"I'm Sterling Fucking Locke 'til the day I motherfucking die."
Christ on a cracker this man. This book I feel as though I'm repeating myself but I can't help it.
Sometimes in books there a things the character says that has you all fucked up in such a good way. I love that fierce almost carnal almost crude and just dominant talk that gets your blood pumping.
"No man has ever licked or fucked you the way I will, baby. That's a fucking promise."
Bookwhore down I repeat bookwhore down.
This book is fast paced and the feelings are so strong and intense but for me it was perfect for the strong personality that Sterling has.
These two are absolutely explosive together. One shower scene in particular that will have you saying OH MY !!!
"You make me want to feel your pain... want to feel you. All of you."
But it's more than just the physical, they have such a deep emotional connection.
This was a quick read but had me so engaged and I was literally jumping out of my seat. It's hot, it's intense and full of craziness that is the Locke Brothers. I'm so invested in this series and can't wait for the next one.
Wowza!!! Just when I think Victoria & Jenika's writing can't possibly get any hotter they release Savage Locke! Sterling and Wynter are so scorching, my Kindle was burning up!
If you like romance with plenty of heat and erotic seduction, you'll love this author duo. It's not all sex either. They weave in a dramatic plot with grit and suspense that blended very well with the steamy stuff.
Once again, I'm very glad these two paired up. Yummy!
Sterling had his heart stolen at a young age. He watched and protected his girl from afar. His home life meant he stayed away from her but he never forgot her. Wynter.
When Wynter shows up at his home he knows something is wrong. When he gets a good look at her broken busted up face he knows he will stop at absolutely nothing to avenge her. She's always been his but now he's taking her. No one hurts the ones he loves. No one escapes his wrath when his girl has been beaten. No one touches what's his.
Wynter is bruised and battered. She needed to feel safe and the only place she would feel that is with Sterling Locke. She knows he will help her. She wants revenge for everything she's been through and she knows Sterling will exact it.
She's always been in love with him. She always wanted to reach out and heal his wounds. Unfortunately she never got the chance. Now though, she needs him. Not just for the help he'll give her, she needs him like the air she breathes. He's her's. He's her protector. Her home.
I didn't think Aston could be beaten but shit me, in charges Sterling with a pair of knuckle dusters and a protective nature.
I love me a bit of dark and Sterling provides that like an endless night. Some of the scenes had me wincing in sympathy for recipient of his wrath.
Dripping skin, puddles of blood, cracked bones and a wicked grin had me drooling like a rabid dog! Who doesn't love a savage man on a rampage to protect his woman! swoooon! I mean yeah that might be a little sick but hey aren't we all a little sick? lol Maybe just me but damn something about that gets me all tingly.
I loved how he never even questioned Wynter he listened took down an address and off he went to sort out her problem. He had no intention of stopping until the point had been made, Wynter Lowe was not to be messed with. But it wasn't just this savage that endeared him to me. He was so... ummmmm... i have a feeling he wouldn't like it... but... sweet?!?!?! Oh my god did i melt into a goo pile when he looked after her. He made sure she was ok before he went off. I loved that! How sweet! He treats her like an absolute princess except... for in the bedroom department. Ohhh myyyyyy feckin god!! The shower scene... probably one of the hottest scenes i have ever read... I'm talkin combustion, I'm talking call the fire brigade, I'm talkin place a towel under your ass so your seat stays dry HOT!! Front door, back door, clean up, front door pounding!!! i friggin loved it!!!
Wynter is quite beat down to start with. All her life someone has been trying to control her. She's had enough. Surprisingly Sterling gives her, her power back. He doesn't even try it just happens. You see her grow in his presence and it was wonderful to see. When she stands up to her father i cheered! lol Go on girl! You tell him! Just brill. She gains her own strength and a new family who love her.
The Locke brothers are growing and it's wonderful to see. I loved seeing Kadence and Aston still as in love. I'm also loving seeing Ace chip away at Melissa that's gonna be so much fun!
Wonderfully dark raunchy read! Hold on to your panties with this series they won't be lasting long!
I did like the first one a lot better but after thinking on it for a bit I did add an additional star because I'm not sure why this one was just okay for me. The Locke brothers are back and more savage than ever especially when you fuck with someone they care about. That's what I love about these 3 brothers and I can't forget sexy Uncle Killian, who I really hope gets a book of his own. They are bad ass to their very core but when they love they love fiercely and with their whole heart, mind, body, and soul. Sterling Locke is the middle brother and he loves his brass knuckles when it's time to kick some ass. He hasn't seen Wynter in three years and when she shows up at his house with a busted up face he knows someone will be paying severely. Wynter first men Sterling when they were 14 years old and she never knew a boy that age could be that big. She saw the bruises on him and she knew what was going on most people were afraid of him but she just wanted to be his friend. Her father is a cop and he always told her the Lockes were all bad and to stay away from them. He tried to control her so much that as soon as she could she fled their small town and moved away. She met Kevin and he was nice at first but then he became verbally abusive so she knew it was time to end the relationship. Kevin snapped when she tried to break things off and he hit her several times to the point she lost consciousness. He proceeded to torture her for 3 days in their basement until finally she was able to gather enough strength to hit him over the head with a lamp and escape. Her first thought was not to go to her father the cop instead she went to the one person who she knew would protect her Sterling Locke.
Just when you think you have seen it all with the Locke brothers along comes Sterling who is pretty sweet yet badass in the same breath! I wouldn't want to screw with him or anyone near him. He is so different from his brothers yet they are alike in a way that bonds them together. Wynter is the one who got away. She may have been gone but she was far from forgotten. When she shows up to the only place she can really turn Sterling took one look at her and knew that he had to avenge her and what happened to her. God help anyone who would get in his way! Sterling is dangerous, rough and downright vicious but he is the one you would want on your side. The Lockes are extremely misunderstood and the more I get to know them the more I can't get enough. They will consume you and not let go! This book makes me want more of the Lockes because once you meet any of the brothers you just want more. Thank goodness their are three brothers because one just isn't enough. I want more.. more.. more! I can't stop thinking about the Lockes and I can't wait to see what comes next!
If you liked Damaged Locke and the awesomeness that was Aston, then you will totally die for Sterling in Savage Locke. Sterling drops absolutely everything when his high school crush turns up on his doorstep needing his help and a safe place to stay. Wynter knew the one place she could go, even after having left all those years ago, was to the Locke house and Sterling. He was her protector back in the day she knows she can turn to him for anything.
The closeness of Sterling and Wynter's relationship escalates very rapidly due to the underlying feelings that have always been present. The chemistry is explosive!! Like off the charts HOTT!! Victoria and Jenika have brought us another fantastic episode from the Locke brothers. Sterling is fiercely protective, impulsive, self-assured, confident, straight to the point, and extremely hot. The way he was with Wynter just made my heart melt. He would do absolutely anything for her, he would lay down his life to keep her safe. It's a good thing that he has his crazy, impulsive brothers as back up when he needs them, even though he is crazy enough himself to get the job done.
I loved this story, from the first to the last word, I completely devoured every single one, you just have to read the Savage Locke. Actually no you have to read all the Locke brothers then you get to pick your favourite, which will be a really hard task, I have tried!!
RAW, DARK, and GRITTY!!! Victoria and Jenika did amazing with Sterlings book! So much intensity involved when it comes to the Locke boys, but Sterlings story is so far the most intense and my favorite!
Sterling is just as damaged as Ashton is from the 1st book, but he is also the most protective in my opinion! When he learns of why Wynter has returned and come to him for help, he goes into ultra protective mode and storms the earth! Hot as hell and so badass!!!
Wynter has returned home and for a good reason. With what she has had to deal with, the first and only person she wants any help from is the infamous Sterling Locke. She has known him since High School and knows what he is capable of, so he is the perfect option for her issue. Plus well she might just have a teeny crush on him.
Intense is a good way to describe this story and boy was it raw! A lot more descriptive areas were written into this story and it was amazing because it really showed how well Victoria and Jenika can write some dark stuff. It made me want so much more!
Amazing job ladies and I cannot wait to read Ace and Melissas story next!!
OH these Locke brothers! They are like violent Robin Hoods hurting the wrong doers to protect the innocent. They are seen as ruthless, vicious men but there is a love that runs deep, a love for family and a love for their woman. A second chance story!! Sterling and Wynter missed their first chance by not letting their feelings known. After a long seperation and a horrible incident they are brought back into each other's lives. His protective side kicks in immediately and he will get the person who hurt her. I loved seeing their feelings for each other show, it all came so easy. They should have been together all along and in their hearts they were! I can't wait for the next one. Looks like Ace is going to have to work for the love a woman. This should be fun because these men are used to TAKING what they want.
Well.... Once again Victoria and Jenika do a fantastic job! I loved Sterling from the first book and had super high for his own book. Each and everyone were met and surpassed! I loved this read! Winter comes to Sterling with hell chasing her. She knows that hes the ONLY one who can truly save her. But her past isn't a pretty one. Sterling knows this. And Winter knows what he came from. What battles he had to fight. Their chemistry was strong even in their past. But now... WOW! They click. They click HARD! But theres always some ugly stirring with the Locke's. Always! Will Sterling be able to slaughter those demons? Victoria and Jenika are on top of their game with this one! I cant wait to read Ace's book. These characters have weaseled their dark and mysterious ways into my heart. LOVEEEEEEE IT!
Sterling Locke is a savage...he fights hard, plays hard and takes no mercy...whether it's in the act of getting revenge, or taking charge of the woman he wants. Wynter was that girl who he always had a thing for...but having a cop for a dad, she was kept away from the Locke brothers because of who they were and what they did. When an EX of Wynter's goes too far and needs to be taught a lesson, Sterling comes to the rescue and takes a hold of Wynter's heart and her safety from harm. I loved this newest addition to the series...these boys are mega sexy and ALL MAN...no doubt about it...and any woman who is lucky enough to have them rock her world, will never want to let go. Next up will be middle brother and a woman who is harder to pin down than the rest. A guilty pleasure...lots of violence and steamy sex with a bite =)
***** 4.5 ***** "I think he learned his lesson" stars
Another great, fast paced, dark, raw, and gritty book from these two awesome authors.
Savage is the perfect word to describe Sterling and his brothers. They are loyal, protective, and fiercely possessive over the ones they love. So when Sterling's high school crush comes pulling up in her car with a busted up face, you can try to imagine the pain and torture he was going to inflict on the person who left her face like that.
Wynter left town after graduating to get away from her controlling father. Only to find herself in a relationship with a man who is just as controlling. Finally having enough of it all, she returns to her hometown and to the one man she has always loved.
The freaking sparks between these two are well shown from the very beginning of the book. What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall in their bedroom!!!
Victoria Ashley and Jenika Snow are fire when they write books together. I can't wait for the next book and some more of these Savage brothers.
Savage Locke has a great balance of alpha, suspense and darkness. The characters are raw and they have a journey that can only be completed by the others presence. This book will draw you in and keep you turning page by page to see what is coming next. Victoria Ashley and Jenika Snow have done another outstanding job with these Locke Brothers and I for one am looking forward to see what will happen next. Well done ladies, well done!
Well, Victoria and Jenika went and did it again....... another amazing Locke brother. If you thought Ashton was the one, you are so wrong because Sterling is absolutely hands down everything! He will ruin you for any other book boyfriend because he is one hell of an alpha male, protective, sexy, loyal, fierce and loves with his whole heart. This book will consume you with its words you won't be able to put it down, you'll refuse to put it down until you see the words "The End" and then you'll be begging for the next book! I can't wait to see what Victoria and Jenika have in store for Ace's book.
This is the second book in the series and we get the savage Sterling Locke. I loved Aston but I really loved Sterling! He's sexy, loyal and protective. Sterling would do whatever it takes to protect and keep Wynter safe. I love the way he was with her and how he took care of her! Sterling and Wynter were great together and I loved that they got their second chance! Like book one, I devoured this! I am loving this series! I cannot wait for Ace's book!
These books are so easy to read, fun, filthy and everything in between.
I absolutely loved Sterling and Wynter. They were perfect for each other.
If they'd come clean about their feelings back in high school, their lives might have been so different. But everything that has happened, shaped them into the amazing humans they are today.
I can't wait for Ace's book. I'm also extremely curious about Killian.
2nd book in the series about middle brother Sterling "Savage" is a very hot sexy read. Just minutes after thinking about a woman from his past Wynter shows up at the Locke brothers place beat up from her boyfriend. Sterling takes her in right away and promises to avenge her. He gets that revenge then confesses his love. After that problem being solve another arises with her dad who is a cop and has hated the Locke family for a long time. Will he step in between them? Read to see what happens!! Very well written has some action and of course hot sex scenes. Fall in love all over again. Can't wait for Aces story!!! I've read all of Victoria's book and a few of Jenikas. Put them both together on a series and it's explosive 💥💥💥💥💥
