Savage Sacrifice

Savage Angels MC #5

by Kathleen Kelly

What would you sacrifice?
For those you trust, for those you’re loyal to, for those you love.

When I married Kat, I vowed to her not only my love but my club, my honor, my life.
So when I confront her about the pictures of her kissing bad boy rocker, Will Van Ryken, a whole world of hell rains down on me.
Feeling guilty, ashamed and disgusted in my behavior, I head back home knowing what I must sacrifice.
For my wife, my club, my family.

But it seems Will has some dirty secrets of his own, and when the Savage Angels receive a tip about his associations with a known drug lord, they instantly fear Kat may be slipping back into old habits.

Can the Grinders and my club work together to keep my woman safe from the clutches of this devil in disguise?

Or will the savage sacrifice I must make rip apart not only my marriage but my club?

[She's a Lip Biter · Rating 4 out of 5]

An ARC was received for an HONEST REVIEW!

I can't tell you how much I absolutely love this series of book and this latest installment only makes me love it more. You need to read the other books before this one to make sense of what is happening.

Back to the start with Kat and Dane (Swoon)! Again, nothing is ever easy for this couple. This time, it is distance and YES another man in the form of the manipulative RockStar Will Van Ryken. Will will t do anything to get Kat into his bed and doesn't even see her being married as a barrier to what he wants. All our other favourites are back and we get to see what's happening in their lives which made me gooey on the inside.

Savage Sacrifice has twists and turns that I didn't see coming. I love that in this book you think you know what is going to happen and then BAMM!!!!! it goes a different way. The only thing I wanted from this book was MORE!!! as in I didn't want it to end!!! but I know there will be more books so I can cope.

I'm super excited for the next installment!

[Shirl · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was so hoping Kat would make him pay for the way he treated her.... totally ignoring her for days on end. He wouldn't see or talk to her when she called and if he did talk to her he lied. She would tell him the same thing over and over and he said the same thing and wham bam they were fixed. Don't buy it. Not only did this happen but she acted like she was TSTL with Will and him being after her... some books she shows she has guts and the other she needs to grow a backbone.

I'm ready for someone else to be the FMC. It appears the next book is a novella.

[Becky · Rating 1 out of 5]

My least favorite in this series!! Between Kat being tstfl! Dane & "his trying to protect Kat" by keeping secrets and disappearing for days without answering her calls and just ignoring her. To Kat letting a total DB To let another man( a slimy piece of trash scumbag man)hold her hand and kiss her on stage in front of the world! To Will being a ...... Spoiler...... Liar, abuser, rapist, murderer!! Bloody he!! This book p!$$€d me off! Taking a break from this series or maybe I'm just done!😡
Rereading this series lead me to this book and I stand by my og review! This book sucked! Take my advice stop reading at savage town! ✌

[Nadia Debowska-Stephens (Obsessed by Books) · Rating 4 out of 5]

"I was there at the beginning when you fought for the Presidency and dragged us through hell. You told me when we got to the other side things would be better, you told me to trust you..."

Dane has had his hands full juggling MC business and his feisty rock star wife. When the limes become blurred between club business and his personal life something has to give. Having fought long and hard to be the President of the mother chapter, setting an example to the other chapters, Dane finds himself lost in a sea of doubt. Drowning in bad decisions the waves of uncertainty continue to lash him as he makes one wrong move after another. Can Dane save his marriage and keep his cut?

Kat is hurting. Believing she deserves the whole truth from her man she has walked away to give herself some time. Time can heal but can also allow the chasm to grow. Unsure of how to start the process of finding her way back to her man Kat is lost. Caught up in the drama of her tour, fans and being back in the spotlight she is drawn in to the rockstar lifestyle. Using it as a shield to protect her from facing her real fears...is her marriage over?

Savage Sacrifice focuses on Dane and Kat, their relationship issues and the steps they need to take to find a middle ground. A rock star and a biker isn't the ideal combination but is their love strong enough to overcome the obstacles? With drama and a plot twist I didn't see coming I devoured this story whole. Each Savage story flows from one to the next and you are immediately sucked but into their world. Dirt and Judge has Dane's back not only with his lady troubles but when they go toe to toe with the local chapter and a drug cartel we get a good reminder as to why Dane is the President. Handling club business is in that man's DNA. Poignant and emotional Dane is a man almost broken by the tug of war played by his heart. Choosing the club or his woman is no choice at all as he needs them both to be complete. I have to say I wanted to slap Kat a few times as she is too blinded by her own pain to see how selfish her actions are and how hurtful she has been. She really is a rock star brat at times.

A four star rock it out read.

My Rating:

4.5

Favorite Quote:

“No darlin', this shouldn't be work. I wake up every day, and I make a choice. I choose to love you, every day. Loving you isn't work."

My Review:

This MC is a kinder, gentler, sweeter version of alpha male, but more swoon-worthy by far. Ms. Kelly has definitely mastered this genre. Her stories are packed with romantic steam and emotion, as well as intrigue and angsty drama. Dane and Kat fussed and argued, and just could not seem to get out of their own way - but once they finally connected, they steamed up my glasses and my kindle.

[Heather andrews · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dane sure can be a bossy man, “ring Dirt, he’ll know where I am.” I kiss her lips again and head for the door, over my shoulder I say, “One hour, I’ll be back, be naked and ready for round three.” I loved Dane and Kat, I loved this book, loved seeing all the characters again.

[Kathleen Lemke (Kathy Page) · Rating 4 out of 5]

What I like most about Kathleen Kelly's books is that you get to read about more than one couple. I loved reading about Truth, but my favorite will always be Dane! Great book!!

[Beyond The Covers Blog · Rating 5 out of 5]

Upset with Dane, Kat has left to tour with her band, The Grinders and Rockplay.

When Dane witnesses, more than once, Kat and Will a little too close in public with reporters around, furious and hurt does not fit into his vocabulary.

Dane knows Will and Rockplay are into drugs when he meets the dealer, a member of the cartel.

Secrets are revealed of Rockplay's past that could jeopardize their future.

[E&A Book · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG!!! Dane & Kat are killing me!! I absolutely devoured every word of this book. I laughed, cried, and went through every emotion you can have while reading this story. I can't get enough of the Savage Angels.

[World Of Books 65 · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series just gets better and better. Come and catch up with the Savage Angels MC and see what they have been up too.

Back to Dane and Kat - Kat is now back on tour driven to it by feeling that Dane wasn't letting her fully into his MC life they have also struggling to have a baby.

6 months later Dane has had enough and goes to get his wife back - but she seems to doing fine without him especially with Will the lead singing of the band on the road with her. But things aren't always what they seem. Will is high on drugs most of the time and Kat is trying to keep the tour alive but when Will's drug dealer is not happy that the rock star isn't paying things get rough.

Follow Dane an Kat as these two people find their way back to each other as only 2 people with a love like theirs can.

Savage Sacrifice book #5 in the Savage Angels MC series by Kathleen Kelly was a great 4 star read.

This was the continuing story of Kat and Dane. Kat has been on tour for over a year and Dane is having conflicted thoughts on their marriage. When he goes to see Kat he witnesses something that sends him into a spiral of hurt and jealousy. Is their marriage over?

As they continue to work through things and try to save their marriage a few unexpected twists occur involving the band that Kat’s band is touring with. Dane also has some struggles with his MC that involve some very dangerous people.

This was a great read that had several unexpected surprises that kept me wondering exactly what was going to happen. I enjoyed all of the secondary characters and alternating POV’s, they added a great element to the story. Kathleen really pulled me in with her writing and I look forward to reading more her. 1-Click and get started on this great series today.

Review:
“I don’t let her get too far away, though, I know if I can touch her, I’ll feel more connected to her. She sits on the couch and I sit next to her. I grab her legs and swivel her, so she’s leaning up against the arm of the couch with her legs over me. This way I can run my fingers up and down her legs in a soothing manner.”

5 savage stars!!! Obsessed doesn’t even begin to cover how I feel about this book… or series!

I think out of all the savage books, this one is my favorite one to date!! I loved Dane so much, he’s a man who knows what he wants and when he wants it, and I find that sexy as hll. And while you’re falling in love with Dane and Kat, you’ll be on the edge of your seat wanting to know what’s going to happen next, it’s quite a suspenseful read!

Lately, it seems all the books I'm reading are making it nearly impossible to come up with reviews that don't sound trite, after the brilliance that I've finished reading! And Savage Sacrifice is NO EXCEPTION! Kat Saunders has been hurt and frustrated with her husband, so she feels her marriage is falling apart. Her new world tour couldn't come at a better time in her mind, so maybe the space would help. As her husband is too busy with his club, she's lost, and finds herself caught back up in the rock star lifestyle again. Savage Angels President, Dane Reynolds, can't seem to find balance between his club, and his marriage. He finds himself making all kinds of bad decisions trying to control them both, and is drowning in a sea of doubt. When he decides to go visit his wife on tour, what he witnesses has him really screwing up, and he skips town to go home. He comes to the conclusion that he must make an ultimate sacrifice to save his marriage. Will he give up his club in order to get his wife back?

This author has become one of my favorite authors, and it was great to read about Dane and Kat again. The character development is great, with all the old entertaining cast of secondaries that round it out. A fast paced, intense, and well written storyline flows perfectly. Kathleen Kelly in all her brilliance, writes another epic story, full of twists and turns that kept my heart pounding the whole time. The OMG moments come out of every corner, making it impossible to guess what's coming next. Her talented writing style never fails to reel me in from the very beginning, and leaves me ready to beg and plead for more immediately after. I'm always impatient for her next book, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

[Erica · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm a huge Savage Angels MC series fan, I've loved each and every book and looked forward to the next.
Until I first read the blurb for Savage Sacrifice.
This one scared me, the idea that Kat & Dane could possibly not make it.
As much as I didn't want to read about their struggles at the same time I couldn't not read it, it's a Savage Angels book, it's a Kathleen Kelly book which means must read no matter what.

Kat an Dane are meant to be, fated, whatever you want to call it. From the first time they met you just knew they were the happily ever after you look for in a story. Until they weren't.
When we last heard about them Dane was kind of doing his own thing, not giving a bit of attention to Kat, probably the first time I can recall being disappointed in him. We pick up with Kat on tour and Dane surprising her, only things don't go as planned and all hell breaks loose between the two of them and a few others.
While Dane has to try to save his marriage he also has another MC and a drug kingpin to deal with.
Meanwhile Kat's a bit blind to the attentions of another man. Kat's always been smart, I hated that she didn't see what was right in front of her. This leads to even more problems between the couple.

Seeing their relationship in turmoil and the work they had to put in to try to save their marriage reminds us all that relationships do take effort, yes I'm careful to phrase it as effort as this is my favorite line from this book:

“No darlin', this shouldn't be work. I wake up every day, and I make a choice. I choose to love you, every day. Loving you isn't work."

I was back an forth with wanting to smack and hug these guys this time around, thankfully things worked out for the best and loyal fans can kick back and wait patiently to see whats next.

Review by: Melanie
(5 stars)

After Kat walked out at the end of Savage Lover, Dane is on a mission to get his wife back, and get her home. She's off on tour with her band, so doing that is proving to be very difficult, especially when at every turn he's smacked in the face with photos or stories about her "relationship" with Will Van Ryken, lead singer of the support act touring with The Grinders.

At times I really felt for Dane, yes he was being a bit of a rubbish husband before, but he's seems to be really putting an effort in here to get Kat back, I mean he even considers leaving the Savage Angels for her. As for Kat, while I definitely understood why she left, I think she was maybe being a bit hard on Dane, but at the same time, I think some of that was a case of her bad timing in seeing things.

Is Dane going to be able to get his wife back and keep his club? You're going to have to read the book to get your answer to that one. I really enjoyed Savage Sacrifice, and Kathleen Kelly just seems to improve her storytelling with each book she gives us. I don't know if there will be any more books in the series after the upcoming novella, but I will be first in line to read them if there are. (hint hint Kathleen, I'm sure these guys have more to tell us! LOL). I give Savage Sacrifice 5 stars.

[Renee Entress · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 star

I was pulled right into this story. The story flowed well I was kept interested. The story has laughs, pain, suspense, drugs, twist and turns, secrets, 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)
Savage Lover (Savage Angels MC #4)

This story is about Kat and Dane. You get POVs from a few of the MC Brothers and also Kat and Dane. Dane is going to get his woman back. Kat left as Dane was keeping things from her and she was hurt. She went on tour but now the tour was extended and Kat is being pictured with another man. Can Dane get his woman back or will his caveman ways push her into the arms of another? Will Dane have to choose the MC or her? Or will they be able to come to a compromise? Can these two who are so good together get that love back or is it over forever? Will Kat figure out Will’s game before it’s took late to save her marriage?

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.

Kathleen Kelly does it again!!! Savage Sacrifice is brilliantly written, as are all of the other books in this series. I absolutely LOVED this book. What an incredible story. Dane Reynolds, as we know, is the president of the Savage Angels MC and Kat, his beautiful wife, is the feisty front woman for The Grinders. Rumors fly and trouble brews when Kat is seen spending all of her time with the lead man from Rockplay, who is touring with The Grinders. Dane just happens to be in the audience when Will Van Ryken kisses Kat on stage. Is this just a publicity stunt? Or is something really going on between these two? Why is it that everytime Dane turns around, he sees Kat and Will together? At this point, Dane is ready to give up the MC, if it will make his wife happy. But is that what Kat really wants? Will these two be able to work out their differences? Or is this the end of Dane and Kat? This was such a great book. There are a few plot twists that i didn't see coming and i absolutely loved the ending. Kathleen Kelly is such a talented writer. If you haven't read any of the Savage Angels books, what are you waiting for? Get started today. You'll love them!

[Chianti Summers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Received a copy. Sacrifice, communication, trust and love are all words we learn the meaning of overtime. We find strength in these words. Sometimes it hurts and sometimes it can be exciting. Savage Sacrifice hits the nail on the head when it comes to understanding these four words. Kathleen Kelly went above and beyond with Kat and Dane's continued story with the creativity in the words. Dane always the alpha and Kat always the stubborn sass. Throughout the story, Kat and Dane, find out what they are willing to do for each other. As always we get to see some familiar characters from the Savage Angels and The Grinders. Kathleen Kelly never leaves you without a twist or a turn and a little suspense. I love the way the story unfolds and the surprises that are revealed. Another fabulous five star read from Kathleen Kelly! Keep writing and I will keep reading.

[Jan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great series to follow

Previous books to be read first

The blurb for this book pretty much sums it all up, maybe gives too much away.

Kat and Dane are separated by kat's work, touring with her band and things become a little rocky.

within this plot which is mainly Kat and Dane you have MC business and other troubles in the mix.

This is a great series, light hearted with plenty humour and great characters. told in multiple pov's so you really get to know each character. There's no major drama or angst like in some MC reads but each book has dilemmas of its own and this was another great addition to the series.

After the last book I was disappointed, (in the character not the story) I felt Dane forgot all about his wife and the way he ignored her, I would have been pissed. This story thankfully makes up for it. In the beginning they were annoying the shit out of me I wanted to slap the both of them why couldn't they just work things out. It was frustrating how stubborn they both were. Thankfully they do really love each other and were able to move forward and both were willing to make it work and make sacrifices.
