Lets start this off by saying, if you’re starting this series without reading the 1st book, you’re missing SO MUCH. You should stop now and go back. You need the 1st book. It’s go SO MUCH story line. Book 2 we see how much Ava has fallen for King (and how much King is trying to be in denial about his love for Ava). Anyway. This book wraps everything up really well. I was super pleased with the way this story played out. I can’t wait to see what else April Moran has for me to read!!

In this book we get to find out the answers to so many questions. Will Oliver truly betray his brother? Will Carson ever get what he really deserves? Will Ava and King figure out they are meant to be together? I am not going to tell you the answers to all those questions, but I will let you find out for yourself as you read.
Here is what I will tell you, Ava realizes that she needs Kingston more than she thought and she wants him. This causes all kinds of internal turmoil for Ava until she believes that he can’t live without her either. When she finally learns to trust Kingston, Ava discovers that other side of him that he doesn’t show anyone. Together, they can be happy.
Kingston keeps his promise to find out who killed Ava’s parents. When Kingston tells Ava the truth, she is devastated. Carson managed to take much more than she thought. When Carson’s current plan to sell Ava and have her declared or found dead so that he can take her part of the inheritance money, Ava plots her revenge.
When Ava escapes Kingston’s security to enact her revenge on Carson, things go a little sideways. Ava didn’t account for the fact that Carson wasn’t alone. Even though she got in a killer stab wound, Carson and his buddies were able to capture Ava. A giant, unexpected monkey-wrench is thrown into the works when Oliver shows up and takes control of the situation. How will Kingston react?

A Heart So Savage is the duet that goes with A King So Savage, the question is where did we leave off? I actually liked this book better than the first one. Both are very dark but have breaks of light in them. This one definitely has a bit more light. The author pretty much picks up where the previous book left off. Ava’s brother has decided not to pay, sealing her fate. She now belongs to Kingston completely, mind, body, and soul. Which doesn’t sit well with her. He’s a monster that flirts with pleasure and pain. Yet she is confused because she enjoys it. Will she stay or find a way out? Kingston makes it his mission to keep Ava safe. And even though he’s not safe, she’s safest with him. Now that he has his prize, he knows that his brother as well as Ava’s will stop at nothing to destroy him. They don’t care that Ava will be a casualty in their wake. One problem he needs to remain the vicious beast of his reputation, but Ava’s changing him. Will his attraction and affection for her be his downfall? As stated at the beginning this is book 2 of a duet. You need to read book 1 first, you will be sorely disappointed if you don’t. I don’t usually like books that have these types of dark themes but these two were pretty good. The author made sure of that.

In this second installment in the series, we learn so much more about Kingston and his childhood. The contract is signed and Ava belongs to him now but will she be ruined? Or will she teach her modern day Beast to love? I enjoyed this story as much as the first. It is very sexual though so beware if you aren’t into stories like that.

This is the second book of the series. This book was just as great as the first. Her brother leaves her to settle his debt. Now she belongs to Kingston. She wants to leave but she starts to crave him. He has feelings for but doesn’t want to admit to it. He has to keep her safe from the enemy. Can they put the fear aside and be together?

This book is book two of The Savage Duet. It picks up where book one left off so you definitely need to read book one first.
Kingston is a collector and Ava is no exception to that. The only difference is he begins to feel an attraction to her. Ava, after finding out her brother has abandoned her, struggles with her situation but eventually feels drawn to Kingston. She hates him and the situation he’s put her in but she can’t be without him either. Can these two have a normal relationship or will their circumstances be too difficult to overcome?
The chemistry between these characters is definitely off the charts. You want to hate Kingston like Ava does at first but as you read you understand him more. The characters and the story are very well written!

This is the second book of the series. Sadly it’s also the last of the series. Kingston Winter is a savage beast who can not control his obsessiveness over a young Ava Blue. Ava is still trying to figure out why she feels the way she does with Kingston. In this book she is giving some freedom and some of it is taken away because she also struggles with letting someone have control over her. Can Kingston break her or Does Ava break Kingston? I will tell you that Kingston is down right creep throughout the entire series, there are parts that make him less creepy but it doesn’t change too much. I loved the book, I hate having a job that requires me to put my book down otherwise it would have been finished sooner. I can not wait read another series from April.

I love the playlist at the beginning of the book. I also love that each chapter has a quote at theme beginning. Book 2 was even more entertaining than the first. There’s always the fear that King will go back on his word but seeing how much he really does care about her and does his best to protect her is endearing. He’s changing for the better. The cruelty of Kings brothers was intense and I felt Ava’s fear. So trigger warning to anyone who has trauma around violence.

This is the second part of The Savage Duet and it does not disappoint. This is a dark romance and has so much steam that I was left fanning myself while reading. It is so, so, so good. If you haven’t read the first book in this duo, I highly suggest you do that and then come back to this one. This way you have an amazing understanding as to what is happening. There are many twists and turns in this book. The ending is one that is left to where the author could continue with the story line or leave it as is. I can only hope that we will get more because it was that good. The many decisions that are made by the characters in this book show growth and deep character development. I love when a bad boy can do good things but doesn’t loose his edge. I found myself actually somewhat liking a few characters that I haven’t liked at all. The ending is what did it for me. This book was masterfully written and will have you turning pages faster than you can read them. You will be sitting on the edge of your seat at some parts of the book and flushing at others. I highly recommend this quick paced read because it will have you riveted from the beginning. Reviewed by: @bbohls

A Heart so Savage by April Moran is the second book in the savage duet. Reading this dark romance was a real treat, and I loved every second of it. The book has its CWs of course just like any dark romance but it was such a fantastic read and I highly recommend it.
Follow Ava and Kingstons journey, as being the captive and falling in love with her jailer. If you’ve read the first book and loved it, you will definitely love the second. With etiquette spice and magnetic energy that draws you in to each vivid detail. April is a true artist in capturing her readers. No stone was left unturned and plot twists you won’t see coming. Highly recommend.

The wait is finally over! I was so excited for this book to come out! This book takes place after the first book. In the first book I was not a fan of either Kingston or Carson. Towards the end I was slowly warming up Kingston but I wasn’t just quite there yet. I was so glad to see more of Ava’s character development in this book too. Kingston in this book we got to see more of his thought process and get more of a backstory with everything going on. I felt like it wrapped up a lot of loose ends and question’s I had. I still don’t like Carson and still think he’s the scum of the Earth. The word building in this was wonderfully done as the first one. The story progressed fairly well, and I didn’t have that “omg there’s only 50 pages left and so much left to be wrapped up” anxiety that some books give me. I loved reading this book and will definitely be adding it to my physical copy shelf along with the first one!

So I absolutely loved the first book. I thought it was a great enemies to lovers vibe, forced proximity, full of denial for what the characters felt for each other. But good lord, was this book an action and smut filled absolute BANGER of a sequel! I felt myself falling for Kingston a little more and more as the book progressed, and the incredibly sweet ending had me tearing up a little. I absolutely loved and adored this duet. Please, read it! The author is phenomenal and I can’t wait to see what she does next!!

This is the second book in the series and it’s amazing!! It picks up where book 1 left off. In the second installment we get more of Kingston’s pov and inner dialogue that helps explain his sometimes over the top actions over Ava. Ava’s problematic brother comes in as well again and it’s possible Ms. Moran has redeemed him enough to give him his own book in the future. This is the end of this particular set but again, maybe she’ll give us some more in the future!!

Kingston and Ava have returned shortly after the events at the end of book 1. Ava continues to fall further into her confusion over her feelings for King. In his own way, he protects her – while he keeps her captive. There’s no doubt his “punishments” have taught her some things about her desires and her body. He breaks and rebuilds her time and again, yet she still yearns for freedom. Maybe not freedom from him, but freedom to at least make her own decisions once in awhile. Would she abandon Kingston if given the right opportunity? He has handled some threats against her and is working to solve some more, while keeping her locked up. If he has to handle extra danger to protect Ava and keep her safe, then so be it. But as much as he makes dark decisions, her safety is his main priority.
As you see some seriously terrible decisions being made here, you also get to learn about what King and Oliver had to endure as kids, and what a terrorist their father was within their own homes. It’s no wonder they don’t do better – they were never shown better, and the abuse they suffered changed them as people. Their father was the REAL monster, terrorizing his wives and children. We also learn throughout the book how King feels about Ava, and battling the actual love he holds for her – until she is seriously injured and King feels the terror of what his life would be like without her. What way will Ava’s decision go – is she going to accept King’s way and admit her desires, or is she going to get out? Will the Winter family be able to protect her from all of the dangers in her path?

This book is an incredible follow up to the first book and I could not wait to get my hands on it and start reading. This book is everything I was hoping for and I read it all in one sitting. It is just as dark, gritty and intense as the first book and I loved the further detail we get for the characters. Kingston and Ava are not your typical couple, and are a couple that won’t be suitable for all readers. But for those who are a fan of this type of book, they are some of the best. I loved both of them because they weren’t perfect. They were flawed, dangerous and captivating. Their connection made them more real and I could have easily kept reading about them. This book was incredible and I would love to see more from this series in the future.

Ava is struggling to come to terms with her situation, lock in the fortress of Kingston Winter can’t be that bad but when she discovers that her brother has abandoned her and she is not getting out of the gilded castle she starts to drawn to Kingston.
Kingston has always collected things and Ava is no exception to the rule but when he has this compulsion and attraction to her he is more in protection mode and wants her to be his forever. All things are complicated her drives her too the point that although she hates him she can’t live without him also.
Can there situation move further into a relationship or is Kingston incapable of being that close to her or have his feelings brought out in the open?
This is the second half to the story and to be honest this is not a book to read independently, you will need to understand the back story to really appreciate this book and the dynamics between the two characters. As the first book the characters open up more and you get to see the true them in this story. Ava although in the first book I thought was strong and sassy shows more in this story and you get to she her strength and the struggles of understanding something is not right but having this obsession with Kingston was great to read.
Kington’s character would be classed as an a antihero but as you read more of his thoughts and desires in this story you get to understand him more as you read through the book. The chemistry between these characters is off the chart and will have you turning the pages to find out what happened next.
The story is well constructed and written brilliantly with the passion and chemistry just jumps off the screen. I can’t wait to read more books by this author.

5 Stars A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet Book 2) by April Moran
A Heart So Savage is the second book in The Savage Duet. This is a Dark Romance that will have you turning the pages till the end. I do highly suggest reading the first book in this duet as this picks up right where book one leaves us. I also want to warn there may ne some triggers in this story but if you can push through them it’s worth trying. I loved everything about this book. It’s raw, loaded with danger, suspense, plenty of steamy sex and so much more. Ava and Kingston these two frustrated me at times but man oh man. He’s claimed her and she’s being held as payment for a huge debt her brother owes him. You guys are in for quite the ride. Hang on tight. I don’t want to give away anything. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

A Heart so Savage by April Moran is book two in the Savage Duet. I’m going to be honest, when I first started this duet I was taken aback by Kingstons abrasiveness. Obviously that is a part of who he is but even in the leu of that, I grew fond of his character, his loyalty and his protectiveness. As for Ava, she is so much stronger than she knows. And even though she has so much to deal with in this book, she absolutely always comes out on top. The author knows just how to keep you wanting more. I believe this is the first set of books where both characters were “talking” in the same chapter/throughout the entirety of the book. I really liked that narrative and it was easily followed. I’m sad that their story is over but man was it one intense ride and I loved every single second! Would definitely recommend to anyone who has an open mind because it truly was a great duo!

This is the second book in The Savage Duet and just wow. I enjoyed this first book in this dark romance and you definately need to read them in order but this book was everything I wished for and more. This is a dark romance with a very dominant dangerous man but what I love is the female lead is incredible. Even though she bends and submits to him she never loses herself completely and she tests her boundaries over and over again.
We are back with Ava and Kingston as they try to navigate their way through their feelings for each other while Kingston trys to protect Ava from everything and everyone wanting to cause her harm. With the truth of what finally happened to Ava’s parents out in the open she wants revenge on her brother but by seeking her own revenge is she placing herself in danger. With Kingston already on the war path trying to destroy every man that harmed Ava, he knows he will eventually get to her brother but will Ava trust him to do that or will she be the stubborn person he knows she is and risk everything. And what will happen when their enemies are defeated? When offered her freedom will Ava take it or will she want to remain with the man who has captured her heart as well as her body.
This is a dark romance so some parts maybe a bit of a trigger for some readers. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

This is a continuation of The Savage Duet. The book picks up where we were left in the previous book. I enjoyed this book more than the first one since there was a bit more action and you can see King finally giving in to his feelings. Having to wait for the second book was torture but I’m happy that it was better than expected. I was unable to put it down and read it in a day. I’ll definitely be reading more books from this author.

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.

A Heart So Savage is the second book (and conclusion to) The Savage Duet by April Moran. As this continues on from where Book One left off, I highly suggest reading ‘A King So Savage’ before starting on this one as otherwise you will be missing important storyline information, as well as character introductions and other relevant details that you will need to know in order to fully appreciate this second book, and the duet as a whole. It is another gripping dark romance that captured my attention right from the very first page. Full of angsty drama, chemistry, steam, emotion, secrets, danger, debts, abduction/captive, family dynamics, agendas, tension, intrigue, and so much more. As we discovered in book #1, when the King is owed money- he will ensure that the debt will be paid, one way or another. Unfortunately for Ava, her brother owed King, big time. And when he doesn’t pay up – she is held accountable. Either her brother pays, or she will. No one messes with the King. Things get more complicated as their chemistry ignites. With other agendas in play, the story took quite a tense turn and as things unfold here- I was reading as quick as I could, flipping pages, just to find out what happens. There were intense, gripping moments, and some frustrating moments where I wanted to shake someone, as well as times when the screen of my Kindle steamed up from all the heat coming off the pages. And I was completely invested, through it all. Definitely worth the read! Intense. Steamy. Dark. Delicious. Can’t wait to see what Ms. Moran does next- it’s bound to be great! Happy Reading…

I was so excited to read this book – part 2 of the savage duet.
April has outdone herself…. Amazingly hot sex scenes and the continuation of the story of Ava and Kingston with realistic characters, Domination and submission and the subsequent falling in love of the main characters.
This is only the second book I have read by April and I am loving her style and will be looking up her other books. Always great to find another hot author.

This book picks up right where the first book left off at. This book is full of suspense, action, dark romance, twists and turns and more. This first book left us on a bit of a cliffhanger so I was happy to read that this story answered a lot of questions. I still felt like there were times I wanted to yell at Ava for being an idiot but there were also times that I can understand why she acts the way she does. I am pleased to find that Kingston does have a heart after all. It was intriguing to watch Kingston go through so many different emotions while trying to understand his feelings toward Ava. I was completely taken in by these characters and the storyline needing to know what was going to happen next. This author did a great job giving me some unexpected moments in this book. I became invested in the outcome of this story. I look forward to reading more by this author. I recommend this book.

Ava has been caught and captured by Kingston. She thought there was a turning point between them where he started having feelings for her but all that crumbles around her when he begins being cold again. Making sure Ava knows her place, but Ava knows he has to feel something. Can the cold hearted man actually feel the same way?
Dark romance that has you guessing on which path the story will take. The chemistry crackles between King and Ava, you want them to work but you are not sure how it will go. Intense story that had me captivated. A really wonderful duet.

You need to read the first book in this series prior to this one for context!
This book is as dark and twisted as the previous one. Now that Ava and Kingston both know that Ava’s brother will not be paying the ransom, decisions must be made. And there are people waiting for them to make the wrong ones. As time passes, and their feelings towards each other seem to be growing stronger, are the decisions they are making the right ones? There is a lot of backstory in this book regarding Kingston and Oliver…and why they are the way they are.
I enjoyed every morsel of this book…the spice, the chaos, the protectiveness, and the darkness. You can feel Ava’s anguish about trusting her own feelings…the protectiveness from Kingston…and the craziness of Oliver. I thoroughly enjoyed this duet and am crossing my fingers (and toes) that Oliver will get his own book next!

4.5 stars There are warnings for trigger content so make sure to read that before reading this story. A Heart So Savage is the second devilish book in The Savage Duet and just like the first book A King So Savage it is gritty, raw, bloody, and deadly. Some of my favourite things in dark romances and April does it so well. I can’t get enough. It is a captivating dark romance that will set you on fire. The characters are complex and intriguing and make the story. Ava is a prisoner of his twisted mind and world. He is dark intense, dominant, possessive, and an utterly irresistible man. She knows what needs to be done and he just has to let her. King is a dark, violent and sadistic alpha male of the underworld. He is someone you will love to hate and hate to love. He will do anything to protect her in his own twisted way, but she may just be the one that saves them both. It is a captivating romance tale with darkness, possessiveness, obsessiveness, angst, drama, violence, emotions, secrets, danger, secrets, danger, and so much more. This is one duet that you don’t want to miss. I can’t wait for more of this genre from April.

Ava is the main character and is “a lost girl searching for a safe place to belong.” Because aren’t we all a little lost, looking for a place to belong? This story certainly hits all the feels. Even Ava is confused by her feelings as the story progresses. I love the way this story develops and how the characters’ feelings shift.
“Hatred and despair had morphed into something else…something savage.”
Kingston doesn’t seem as mean in this story, but we do learn more about his enemies, well Ava’s enemies. It seems Kingston was right about those wanting to hurt her. But it’s the who that adds to the twist of the knife!
Again, this author touches on some subjects that may cause questions within the reader. Anger, fear, repulsion, concern, lust, interest, confusion to name a few. This duet is violent, sexy in a rough way, and being a romantic at heart I can see the hope building for a happily ever after.

A heart so savage was a great ending to Ava and Kingston’s story. The conclusion was so good. I couldn’t put the book down. So many questions were answered and there was so much suspense and action. Wow. I want to say, I didn’t see that happening but I kinda did. Just not to that extent. Shocked is an understatement. This boon had it all. It was emotional, hot, and just all together crazy. I love Kingston and Ava and love how Kingston says she was always his from that day he saw her in her parents kitchen. He was like a man obsessed. I’m so glad he did what he did by stealing Ava for Carson’s debt. The last few chapters had me doing crazy. Ava is one head strong girl and is perfect for Kingston. I couldn’t picture him being with anyone else but her. I must say, I might even have a tiny soft spot for Oliver now. Another great read. I’m so glad I was able to read the savage duet. It was pure perfection
