My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m such a spoilt little brat I didn’t have to wait to start this I literally closed “ A King so Savage” has a quick tea and cookie break and went straight back into my little bubble 🤣📚❣️

Just a fair warning again , if you don’t take to dark , depraved , violent reads avoid this and if this is your first rodeo start at the beginning role you’ll be doing yourself a hugs injustice ( just saying )

Yes my little dark heart still loves Kingston , I know I’m weak and I think Ava really is the only one that gets me 🥰😱🙈

Kingston and Ava are the definition of love to hate and hate to love the push and pull between these 2 had me screaming , shouting , chewing my nails to the bit and breaking out in hives !

I almost enjoyed this round more 🤫😉

This is book 2, we get more pov from this book. Book one is a king so savage so read that, then book 2. Kingston and Ava are really falling for each other, but she thinks she will be the downfall of them both. You find out what happened to Kingston and Oliver as kids and what a monster their father was. Ava gets confused in her feelings for King but she knows she needs him more now than ever, more than King will understand. Carson wants Ava to be declared dead so he can get her inheritance. But that doesn’t work out to Carson’s plan, nor Ava’s. Kingston maybe twisted in his ways of love and treatment of Ava but as in book one he will destroy everyone and everything for Ava. Omg couldn’t put this down!!

This is the conclusion to The Savage Duet. This is not a sweet romance. This story is dark and like the name says savage. Kingston and Ava have to find their way in this world. He wants her protected but he can’t seem to protect her from himself. This is the type of story where he would burn down the world for her. I loved watching the way this story played out and how much the characters learned about themselves along the way.

He falls. She falls… but oh what a fall…kind of like one of this free falls that has you in the edge of your seat and has you questioning everything as you watch to see what is going to happen. This ending was action packed for Ava and Kingston and leads to their Happily Ever After and I’m (finger crossed) hoping to a beginning for Oliver.

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet Book 2)

Even after reading the first book in the duet i knew what type of man Kingston was and I really didn’t want to like him, but he worked his way in no matter how hard I fought it.

This book had my head spinning with everything that happened and I found myself flipping page after page to see what was going to happen and how everything would work itself out.

Ava did a lot of growing up and losing of her naivete. She also developed a back bone little by little, especially when dealing with Kingston.

I love the sweet love stories but there is something amazingly interesting a guy with a dark soul.

I cannot wait to read more by Ms. Moran, see her becoming a favorite of mine pretty quick.

Ava has fallen in love with Kingston and he has decided to keep her as his own. However can Kingston be trusted. Things have not been going so well lately, he has been pretty much pretending she isn’t there and he been having more meetings than usual. Will he sell her off after all or is there something else going on that he doesn’t want to get her involved in? She has to obey his every command being his prisoner. However she loves how commanding he is of her. She hates that she feels the way she does for him.

This was a great 5 star read. I love dark romance and this did not disappoint. We start right where book 1 ended, I was on the edge of my seat reading this. I really liked both Kingston and Ava, I really like the alpha bad boys. Ava is a strong character as well and as Kingstons captive she starts to fall for him. We get some very hot and steamy moments. Overall this was a great read. We get several twists and turns. I will warn there may be some triggers for some. You really need to read book 1 before this one. If you like dark romance this would be a read for you. I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Heart so Savage is the second book in April Moran’s Savage Duet Series. April can most certainly write a story that you will pull you in, make you invested, and be full of steam, and action. A Heart So Savage had it all along with some things that could be triggering, so you should check those out before starting book one, but they were not triggering to me. They helped me understand the characters, the way they acted, why they behaved certain ways, and make the decisions that they did. Kingston was able to redeem himself much more than in the first book and became a much more like able man. After all he did only want to protect Ava as much as she confused him and made him feel and behave in ways he just didn’t understand. This is definitely a series that needs to be read in order. I really enjoyed this duet and would be interested in reading other books by this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was doing my best to patiently wait for this book, and I’m pleased to say that it is a deliciously dark romance that kept me awake for hours just so I could finish in one sitting! Without giving anything detrimental to the story away, I *highly* recommend reading the first book in the duet. The chemistry that King and Ava have is no joke, but this book doesn’t just rely on steamy scenes for a plot. There is plenty of intense danger, action, drama, and a rollercoaster of emotions throughout that will have you at the edge of your seat. Although Kingston was far from my favorite person in the first book of this duet, getting more of his background here really does a nice job humanizing him, even if it is still twisted. If you’re looking for a steamy, tantalizing dark romance to devour, look no further. This is your sign!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book two to this series and I must tell you that if you are not a fan of violence, dark romance, dubcon, mature langue, sensitive content, adult situations, jealous/possessive themes, and the such then this book is NOT for you! If you can get passed that type of content, then check this dark romance out! This also can’t be read as a stand alone. You need to read the first book to fully understand where this one starts and is heading. So Ava is a prisoner. Kidnapped and trapped by Kingston for her brother’s debt (2.6 million). Instead of selling her to the highest bidder he has decided to keep her. She belongs to Kingston now and she rebels at almost every turn. Which makes him want to punish her and break her into submission. She craves his touch just as much as he wants to touch her, but the hate is clear in their eyes. He will have her break so he can put her back together again. All while she tries to win his heart so she can escape. Both falling but both don’t see the danger rushing towards them. This is a book about a villain and his captive. He always gets his way. But will he this time? Such a great story. I wasn’t prepared when I read the first one, but once I started this one I knew what kind of content to expect.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Heart So Savage is a continuation from book one in April Moran’s Savage Duet and should really be read second (in order). The first book ended on a cliff hanger so that A Heart So Savage could pick up where we left off. I was lucky to find this duet when both books had already been released so it was a very smooth read and I was invested immediately. I liked A Heart So Savage even more than book one, it was pulse racing and filled with a lot of entertainment, especially after the “introductions” were long out of the way. The characters are as dark and steamy as the storyline and April Moran writes dark romance well! I hope to read more in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Savage Duet. It follows on from the first, so I would highly recommend reading the first prior to this one.

As with the first book, this is a dark romance which may not be suitable for readers who find violence and dominance triggering especially given how the relationship began in the first book.

I still love the characters of Kingston and Ava, Ava in particular. She remains strong despite everything which has been uncovered and what she has gone through. She knows who she is and stays true to herself.
She’s determined on revenge and the danger increases. Kingston grew on me even more in this book as he continues to try to protect Ava and get revenge for her.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this duet and will be looking out for more from this author!

This is the second book in this series which is just as great as the first. I highly suggest reading the previous book first to help your enhancement of this series and the characters. I found this book to be well written where the characters bring the story to life. They are connectable, strong characters that bring heat and romance to a new level. This is a dark romance that contains triggers for some but if you can get past them, you will find a great romance story. I enjoyed reading this book as much, if not more than the first. It is a fast paced, engaging and hard to put down book that kept me coming back for more. I enjoyed the growth of the characters as well as the plot throughout the story. I highly recommend finding out how this story ends as you don’t want to miss it. I highly recommend this book.

Ok so I am going to start off by saying that I am a huge idiot! Do yourself a huge favour and start with book 1 like you are supposed too. Everything will just make so much more sense and you won’t have to try and piece things together as you read like I did. Even though I had to do that I enjoyed this book so much and I’ll be grabbing book one and doing a full read again including re-reading this. This wonderful author whose character depth and intriguing storylines definitely should not be missed is someone whose books I will gladly read again and again . Kingston and Ava falling in love amongst so much violence was a pull on the heart strings for sure and the heat between them is off the charts.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet Book 2) by April Moran. This is the second installment in the Savage Duet series and I would highly recommend reading the 1st book before this one. This book picks right up from the first book and is the continuing story of Ava being kept prisoner by Kingston (King). Ava is attracted to King even though she doesn’t want to be. King has always collected things and Ava is no exception. He is so attracted to her that he wants to protect her which is unusual for King. I felt like Ava was stronger in the first part of the book and in the second she was more defeated and just accepting her fate. Ava also learns that she can’t trust a lot of people that she thought she could including some of her own family. In the second part of the book we also see some of Kings background including he and his brother being abused by their father. Which makes things more understandable in the way he treats people. When King is injured Ava has to make a decision, does she stay or leave. Such a good read!

This duet reminds me of a Mafia style Beauty and the Beast, and it’s amazing. I absolutely loved seeing Ava stand up for herself and show just how savage she could really be. Being a brat myself, I loved seeing their dynamic play out. Some characters have a habit of surprising us, too. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, and I’m glad I get to review it 😁

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet Book 2) by April Moran – Review by Jessica Stone

I’m not going to lie I am so happy that I read the first book to this one basically back to back, I don’t know how long I could have waited to find out what was going to happen to King and Ava.

This book picks up right after the events of the first book, so if you haven’t read book one, stop what you’re doing go back and read it first and then come back, honestly you’d miss out on a ton of you tried to read this.

So I’m super into the forced proximity, reluctant relationship these two have. King is DEEP in his feelings for Ava and after everything they’ve been through it’s only fitting that Ava spend the majority of this book questioning basically her sanity for feeling the things she does for him, and loving the way he makes her feel. And let’s be honest, we all want to feel like kinky sex goddesses sometimes. King and his resolute feelings for Ava break me a bit, he’s gone through a lot, and though we knew he was “intrigued” with Ava, fascinated I guess to see him fall into love with Ava was heart melting.

I love the twists this book throws in with its characters, some from the first book and some new players! But please definitely watch out for trigger warnings going into this book, it gets down to the nitty gritty, lays it all bare but I think that’s what makes the story so intriguing. The author isn’t afraid to tell the story, and sometimes things can get ugly, but that makes the resolutions so much sweeter.

UHMM! Oliver what??? If you’ve read the first book, as you should, you’ll know what I’m talking about! I was blown away by that wildcard! Super hope we get a book about him and his redemption! I would love to read more like this from the author, dark mafia romance done right. Secretly hoping I can find my own Kingston one day. 🤞🏻

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet Book Two) by April Moran Review by Heidi Woodring

A Heart So Savage by April Moran is the second book in the Savage Duet series. In this book we finally get the answers that we were left with after book one. Ava finally realizes that she just doesn’t want Kingston she NEEDS him. And along the way she sees sides of him that he doesn’t show anyone. Together, they are complete. Kingston keeps his promise and helps find those that killed her parents and when she plans her revenge. Things don’t go as she planned but can Kingston save the day? How will he react?
I really loved this series. I loved that the author let us into the past of Kingston to truly know why he is the way he is. I feel the strong characters of this story were perfectly created and grabbed you from book one and beyond. This was a dark and steamy read and I can not wait to see what April Moran has in store of us after this!

Deliciously dark & sinfully twisted ! Delightfully depraved ! Enjoyin this book so thoroughly was it’s own guilty pleasure . Honestly everything King was doing to Ava was working for me too lol even though I felt the same indignance at his outrageous audacity , it was workiiiiing for meeeee ! I LOVE their ending & that the villainry stayed strong . The artful exploration of their humanity behind their desires is a true gem . I also very quickly & suddenly discovered that I might have a THING for Oliver & the word darling dripping from his viciously delicious lips . my fingers are very tightly crossed hoping he gets his own story lol. Loved this duet & I will happily devour anything this author creates .

This is the second book in the series and it was even better than the first! The way this author writes their story has me captive from the beginning to the very end. I could not put this book down as I had to know what was going to happen. The way the writing is done was if I was in the story with them and not just reading the words on a page. I cannot wait to read more books by this author!!

These books have to be read to understand what is happening. This is the second book in the series. We follow Kingston our morally grey anti-hero holding Ava captive. He falls for her and protects her; throughout her captivity, she falls for him. It is full of smut and action and hard to put down.

A Heart So Savage is book 2 in this Duet Series. If you haven’t read book 1, you will want to do that first as it completely sets the stage for book 2 and that is where you learn all about the characters and the storyline for the sequel. If you are a dark romance fan, then once again, April Moran does a great job with this story and will have readers wanting more. In A Heart So Savage, we continue with the dual POV and we learn more about Kingston and Ava and their growing connection despite the unique situation that brought them together. Even with the beast qualities of Kingston and the love-hate feelings towards the relationship between him and Ava, by the end, you are rooting for them. As with book 1, there are trigger warnings, so be sure to check those before reading.
