My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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 .

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet #2)A Heart So Savage by April Moran

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!!

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

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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A King So Savage is a very dark romance, but if you like that style of book, you will certainly enjoy this read. April does a great job of developing the main characters and you get dual POV – Kingston and Ava – which is a nice element that I enjoyed. Kingston is a dark, cruel man that you learn to both love and hate and Ava is a character that fights back and resists when and if at all possible, even when that means punishment from her captor. I would describe the storyline as a modern day Beauty and the Beast with a Fifty Shades twist. Again, this book is a dark romance and there are a lot of trigger warnings – so be sure to check those out first. But with all that said, it was well written and left me wanting to know what happens in book 2.

This book is as good as the first. I can’t wait to continue this series. Ava is falling for Kingston and it’s way more than Stockholm syndrome. Even though Ava is kidnapped her attraction to Kingston and the way he treats her is very confusing for her. I highly recommend this series and to start in order. Really wish I could put more than 5 stars cause I loved it so much.

This book was a good one! This is the second book in the Savage Duet series and it picks up where book one left off, so this is definitely a series that should be read in order.
The main characters were awesome. I like the banter and the dynamic between the two was interesting! The chemistry between them was hot hot hot even if they started out in a rocky place.
This author has a nice writing style and i enjoyed the book alot so i would recommend to anyone that likes a good romance read!
Happy Reading!

Kingston is a morally grey man who doesn’t think he has a heart anymore, until he has Ava and he starts feeling things he doesn’t understand.
This second part of the duet is much spicier, has more background info so you understand the characters and appreciate the development!
Pay attention to trigger warnings before starting.
I really enjoyed this duet and highly recommend

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!!

This series is starting out to be everything I was hoping it would be, and so much more. It’s rough, it’s dark, is full of adoration, anger, controlling, loyalty and backstabbing family. All the things I love in a great story. I can’t wait to read the 2nd book. Kingston and Ava have so much story left to tell. I can’t wait to see how April Moran ties it all in. I’m excited.
If you love a dark romance with a some romance, I definitely recommend starting this series!!

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet #2)A Heart So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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 thrilling conclusion to the duet.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

Wow. And I do mean wow. This story did not leave anything out. Every detail is perfectly placed to bring you into the scenes. You’ll feel for Ava but then you’ll feel for Kingston but lord the heat will bring you to your knees. I can’t wait to read the second in this series. Will Ava be King’s or will her brother save her? What can she do to rid of herself of this life?

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 was great! I could not put it down. There are things in this book that some readers might be uncomfortable with. Ava’s parents died. Her brother, who wasn’t the greatest owes money to Kingston “The King.” King took Ava captive as payment for her brother’s debt. He didn’t know if he was going to keep her, sell her, or let her go. Ava at first can’t stand him and is giving him attitude left and right but after some time starts falling him, and craves his touch. The King on the other hand had no idea about his feelings even though he’s been obsessed with Ava for years. This book ends on a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to read book 2.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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!

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet Book 2) by April Moran – Review by Kirsten Berkebile

 

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.

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!

Dark romance, forced proximity… count me in. Ava’s brother owes Kingston a debt, his perfect excuse to get his hands on Ava. Ava has been through so much since her parents passed, but remains positive, where Kingston is ruthless and savage at all ends. This story is full of feist, angst, passion, pain and spice! I am very excited for book 2.
