A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet Book 2) by April Moran – Review by Stephanie Runyon

A Heart So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kingston only returned when Ava was asleep. Ava was afraid of Oliver. She also knew that she was owned by Kingston since Carson refused to pay his debt. Despite his claim over Ava, Kingston didn’t have sex with her. He would leave during the day and Ava was allowed free roam of the house with Paulie or Jack following her. One afternoon, Kingston told her to stay in the game room since he was having a meeting with Oliver and other men. That afternoon Kingston took Ava’s virginity. Just as he was dressing himself, a call from his guards brings Kingston running. Ava tricks Jack and finds that Detectives from Bitter Springs are at the door. Ignoring Kingston’s instructions, Ava eludes her guard and comes downstairs where the two detectives are. Is she going to escape Kingston?

April Moran’s second book in the duet, A Heart So Savage continues Ava and Kingston’s unorthodox relationship. Every interaction is a struggle between Ava and Kingston. While their attraction grows, Ava still wants the freedom to choose how she lives. Kingston knows she isn’t safe without him. If he had told her what was happening up front, she might have been more receptive. But that isn’t how the Winter family operates. The ending threw me for a loop. The unpredictable twists build suspense to an intolerable intensity. Involving several steamy scenes and showing the vulnerabilities that both characters try hiding, this is definitely a five star book and duet.
