Kingston prides himself on making those that defy him pay….and when Ava’s brother owes him money, he takes her as collateral. However, this has been in the making for years and his obsession with Ava makes this captor/captive situation anything but normal. It follows the same flow that numerous dark romances in this genre…but it was still an interesting read. The way the book ends leaves you with a cliffhanger that will leave you wanting more.
Ava is a strong character, while Kingston is a hard character to like. He is definitely the villain in the story and wears the title proudly. I found myself turning the pages and time passing without noticing. I will definitely be checking out the next book as soon as I can.

This book is a very strong start for this author! It is written so well, as if she has been writing for years. I love fantasy books and have read many. The author was able to create a fantasy world that draws you in. Sloane is a great character and as you are taken through her journey, you are kept on the edge of your seat. I hope this author continues to write because although I can’t imagine her getting better, I cannot wait to see what else she has to bring to our imaginations.

The Befallen (The Unsung and The Wolf Duology) by Cambria Williams. This is a great fantasy read. Its the story of Sloane who has a crippled leg and her hometown has been put under a curse. Everyone is fighting each other and everyone has turned into thieves. She is left with no choice but to leave her home and set off in the world. The young knight, Tolvar, meets Sloane and decides to help her try to find a cure for the curse on her town. Sloane wants nothing more than to do something so that she is known for and not just a cripple. Tolvar wants to become a better man too and with Sloane’s help maybe he can do that. This story has adventure, magic, fantasy and mystery. Such a fun adventure!

This book was really good. Sloane, is a sheltered girl. A lot of people think she cannot do much because she has a disabled leg. She is more than ready to prove herself. The Befallen has killed everyone in her village. She is determined to be the one that defeats him. She teams up with a grump knight, Tolvar. He is reluctant at first to let her join. Together they discover things about the Befallen. Can they defeat him together?

This book features a society that is beleaguered by an evil plague. One that is not spread by germs, yet kills groups of the living nonetheless. Legend says a hero will save them all. But what makes a hero? Who gets to decide what type of people have it in them to actually be a hero? Ultimately, this is a book about faith. The faith to believe, and the faith to become.

This is a fantastic debut novel by an author who clearly has author a penchant for writing. The story is imaginative and captivating and really takes you, ad the reader, on an exciting journey. I really enjoyed reading about Sloane. Her character fit absolutely perfectly with the story and, for me, that just added to the whole experience. Her strength was obvious, even in the face of such challenges. This is a brilliant and engaging story and I cannot wait to see what else this author will produce.

How could she explain an attraction that shouldn’t exist? ~ Ava
This whole entire book has me feeling this way. Kingston is mean, deranged, broken and well, savage. He is the type of character that sees something he wants, and he takes it. There is no price limit, everything and everyone can be bought. Kingston has the funds, the means, and the ability to acquire anything and everything he wants. He wants Ava. So, he takes her. He uses her sleazy brother’s debt as the reason for taking her but throughout this story there is a deeper feeling, a deep fascination that Kingston has with Ava. Ava is all that is good. Is she perfect? Not really but she is close. She is a little naive in the world around her. But I like to think she lives in her own little world, trying to make a good life for herself while not causing harm to others. She is not skilled or even very knowledgeable about the world that her brother and Kingston live in. Crime, greed, violence, death. While she has known of Kingston most of her life, she doesn’t know him, until now. Which brings her much confusion. He has basically kidnapped her from her mundane safe life. And brings out feelings she didn’t know she had.
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 story is violent, sexy in a rough way, and being a romantic at heart I can see the underlying hope for a happily ever after. Even if the HEA means these two characters are far away from each other. This story is the first part of the duet so there is not a HEA …not even a happily ever after for now…
Already starting the 2nd part of this duet because the writing is so addicting.

This book is the debut novel for this author. This is a fantasy novel. It started off kind of slow for me but to be fair, I don’t typically read fantasy so I’m just not used to this style of writing. These characters were so well written. You feel Sloane’s persistence and strength. Sloane doesn’t quit and it really inspires especially given everything she’s had to overcome. The book was so well written you’d never know it was a debut novel. It made it worth reading!
While fantasy is not normally my jam, I’m glad I gave this book a chance. If you enjoy fantasy, this one is definitely for you!

I am not usually one to read and enjoy fantasy novels, but wow, this one was fantastic. Cambria Williams developed an incredible cast of characters, especially Sloane and Tolvar. The story was a little slow to start, but it didn’t take long before I was completely enveloped in the story. The search for the Unsung and the trials faced by Sloane and Tolvar make this story a great one. This novel has knights, ancient lore, legends, goddesses of the various moons, and so much more. I felt like I rode an emotional roller coaster through the reading of this book, and would ride it over and over again without a question. Excellent book.

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning. Ava is taken by Kingston due to her brother’s debts. Ava is a strong character that definitely called to Kingstons dark desires. Ava is drawn to his dark and dangerous side. And boy do we get some hot and steamy moments.
Overall I really enjoyed this book.We get betrayal, danger, very dark, secrets and so much more. We get dual POV which I love so we can see what both of them are thinking. The author does a great job with her writing and I didn’t want to put it down until I was done. We do end on a cliffhanger since there is a part two and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. If you’re looking for a great read, 1-click and get started today.

This book grabbed me from the beginning. This is a true dark mafia story. Please heed the trigger warnings if you feel you need to. I was completely drawn into this book with its drama, suspense, angst, chemistry, murder, great characters and more. King and Ava have definite chemistry but she hates him and he’s obsessed with her and he keeps going back and forth about what he wants to do with her. Both Ava and King have had a rough time in their lives and it has affected how they are as adults. This author has a way with words that make understand the feelings the characters are going through. This book leaves you on a bit of a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to read book two. I recommend this book.

A King So Savage (The Savage Duet Book 1) by April Moran- 5 out of 5 stars
My first read from this author and I am pleased. The character development and storyline is so well written. I could not stop reading this dark fantasy. I do wish that the author would have continued on with the story, but it makes me super excited for the next book. I highly recommend reading this duet.

So this is the first book in The Savage Duet Series. In this book, we learn about Ava Blue who is taken captive by Kingston Winter. This book contains violence, adult situations which may not be suitable for all readers. Kingston Winter is the villain in this story but he could also be a hero at times. Ava Blue was kidnapped to pay a debt owed by her brother Carson. Carson Blue owes Kingston 2.6 million dollars and Kingston wants his money or he will take Ava and auction her off to the highest bidder. You will love to hate Kingston throughout this story. I actually can’t wait to read book 2 bc of where this book left off. I promise you that this book is worth the violence and adult situations that arise in it. Do you think Carson will pay off this debt to get his sister out of King’s clutches or does he even care that his sister is caught in the middle of his troubles? Read to find out for yourself, I am not going to give away the answer…

I absolutely loved this book. It’s not for the faint of heart. Lots of triggers for some I guess but, it made the book that much better. Definitely a dark read. I love how Kingston knows who Ava is. He didn’t just have his men grab a stranger to hold captive until someone pays his debt. Kingston knows Ava and her brother. He also knows what her brother is capable of and just how Ava is pretty much a sitting duck in this whole book. Kingston might be holding her captive to use her to pay off her brother debt but, if he didn’t get to Ava first l, someone else might’ve and as much as Ava fights Kingston and tried to escape, the reality is, she’s safer with him then anyone else. He’s very protective of her and won’t let anyone else near what’s his and right now, she is his to do with as he pleases. Ava is his little lamb who can be quite feisty when she wants to be. She doesn’t just sit there and wait to see what happens. She tries to find ways to escape even though that’s the worst thing she can do. I cannot wait to see what the next book has in store for the readers. This was definitely a 5 star read for me.

‘A King so savage’ by April Moran is the first book in the ‘Savage duet’ series and I am already on the hunt for book – As I NEED to know what happens next. This book is a hot and streamy page tuner!!!
Kingston aka King is owed money by Ava’s brother. So he kidnaps her to try to get her brother to pay up the millions that he owes.
Meanwhile he locks Ava in a cell and tries to fight his overwhelming attraction and affection towards her. Lots of action packed sex scenes without actually having penetrative sex so Ava’s virginity remains intact.

I have to admit I love finding new authors and books. This was definitely one great find. I love to be plunged into the dark fantasy world that this author has created. I like the fact that the main character has a disability and will not let it hold her back. I love how the author is able to bring the characters to life. The story is created and it unfolds leaving me wanting more. I really did not want to put this book down and I really cannot wait to read more from this author. This was a great diversion from my total favorite genre of paranormal romance.

A King so Savage by April Moran is book one in the Savage Duet. My goodness there was so much happening in this book. There was no dipping your toes in the water, we were tossed overboard within the first few pages. It is extremely dark and likely difficult for some to read. However, i was utterly addicted and needed more! Kingston is not a good man. He is dangerous, feared and downright scary… But he’s also incredibly gorgeous. Ava is completely screwed. Her brother owes millions to Kingston and that’s when he decides to use her for payment. Again, this is nowhere near a regular romance, it’s dark, edgy and downright scary but hot. I’m dying that to that ending and i need more!

Oo this one was a good one. It was intense and dark and I couldn’t put it down. An ememies to lovers book that pulled me in and kept me interested til the very end. Ava & King were amazing main characters because the chemistry between the two was off the charts. But this relationship wasn’t butterflies and rainbows. They come with their own trigger warnings so readers be sure to read those before proceeding! I enjoyed this dark read and I am looking forward to more by this author! Happy Reading!

Holy cow Batman did this book did a number on me. I would definitely check the trigger warning before reading this book cuz it does get pretty dark. I love and hate King, but oh man does he dance and wave the red flags all over this book. I love my morally grey characters, but I wanted to shake King so bad in this book. Ava is such a sweetheart and I feel for her in this book. She has lost her parents in a tragic car accident, her brother does not treat her like a sister, but someone to profit off of, and then she is kidnapped because her brother uses her to wipe his debts clean with King. The cliffhanger at the end, made me wanting more but it was more like a small jump into a lake rather being pushed off a cliffside. I really enjoyed the story, the characters were great, the storytelling was absolutely amazing, and I can’t wait to see this wrapped up in book 2 of the duet!

This is an amazing dark read romance. I am such a huge fan of this genre that I couldn’t wait to get started on this book. I was not disappointed. The way the book is written, you can’t help but fall in love with the characters and yes that even includes the villain. This book has everything from the bad boy anti-hero to the horrible past but very resilient and strong girl. The crazy brother thrown in makes for an entertaining story. There is one flaw in the book but it didn’t dismiss from the story or how quickly I read it. The flaw is that sometimes the leading female doesn’t know when to stop “poking the hornets nest,” so to say. She seems to be a little naive to the situation that she is in and can’t quite control what comes out of her mouth. It was a little off putting at first but the further I read the more endearing it became. This was a fast paced read for me because it has everything that I love. The suspense, romance, drama, violence, morally grey lines being tested, and wonderful character development. I was able to escape my everyday surrounding for a few hours while I got lost in this book. I can’t wait to read the second part of this duet. I have a feeling I am going to love that one more than this one because it is a confutation of what I just started. Reviewed by: @bbohls

Kingston King is not the type of man you want to cross, so when Ava’s brother owes a large sum of money to him he takes action.
He decides to show he means business and kidnaps Ava as collateral for her brother to pay back his money, but when everyone notice Ava and Kingston starts to feel an attraction to her, he has to touch her all the time but this woman may look feeble but she has a bite which excites him but as this goes on his prisoner is attracting looks from his men and with the battles within will either destroy him or make him stronger.
His obsession maybe the thing that breaks him.
This is the first book by this author I have read and I really enjoy the story and the characters. Kingston is a Alpha character who you at first hate as he shows no redeeming qualities at all, but as you read through the story there are snippets of the person he is with Ava, he shows some compassion and you can see his idea of love.
I love a strong female character in a story especially when you think she will be a whimpering female in distress but she gave Kingston as good as he gets with her fire and determination. The story was well written and developed and the main characters had all the angst of a good dark romance, the secondary characters gave the story another depth to the story.
I can’t wait to read part 2 and see what happens to these two broken characters and can they make it work between them.

This was a quick, easy read full of Stockholm Syndrome with some light spice and action scattered throughout. That being said, it was pretty dang good! I couldn’t put the book down and read it in one sitting, completely enamored with the characters and the story. I was hoping it was a stand alone, but I guess I’ll just have to add another book to my endless TBR and pre-orders. Highly recommend!

Kingston has always wanted Ava and has kidnapped her, using her brother’s debt of $2.6 million as his reason. His brother, Oliver, had drugged her in an elevator. Oliver wants to violate her, but Kingston warns him that nobody can touch her. Ava fights by using a paperweight to cut his face. While struggling to get away, there was a loud pop that caused her to scream. Dr.Abbott has to treat Ava while he keeps her in a cell. He didn’t like the situation, but he was loyal to Kingston. Ava wakes up from being sedated by the doctor. She hasn’t been given food yet, and she doesn’t know how long she has slept. Kingston brings her food and wants her to clean up. When Ava doesn’t respond and doesn’t try to eat, Kingston forces her into the tub and washes her. Humiliated at her situation, she relents by eating. Ava attempts to escape again when Dr. Abbott comes to check her sprained wrist. Kingston, who caught her in the woods, decides he is going to have to punish Ava for her repeated acts of defiance.
This is a slow-burn romance, with April Moran building suspense. There is a subplot that runs where there is resentment from Kingston towards Oliver, as well as Oliver’s hatred towards Kingston. Dr. Abbott doesn’t like the treatment of Ava, but whatever darker dealings the Winter family is involved in prevents him from helping Ava escape her captivity. The cliffhanger ending has me eager to read the sequel, and I wonder if Carson will make an attempt to steal Ava back. However, I don’t know if Carson is really a better option for Ava since he has little regard for her beyond her inheritance money. With a cliffhanger ending, I am eager to read a sequel to this fast-paced story.

A King So Savage is the first book in The Savage Duet by April Moran. It is a gripping dark romance that not only captured our fmc- but definitely 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 much more. When the King is owed money- the debt will be paid, one way or another. Unfortunately for Ava, her brother owes 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 takes a tense turn. The story is set to continue in Book #2, so I can’t wait to dive in and discover how everything plays out. Definitely worth the read! Intense. Steamy. Dark. Delicious. Bring on Book #2! Happy Reading…

A King So Savage (The Savage Duet Book 1) by April Moran
3.5 out of 5 stars
This book is extremely dark and with a lot of very triggering subjects. I enjoyed this book but was a little frustrated with Kingston and Ava’s relationship multiple times. King is someone who had a rough life and took the wrong path in life and Ava is the typical good girl that also had a difficult life after the dead of her parents. This is definitely a book for those who love very dark SMUT. I can’t wait to read the next book. Please make sure to read trigger warnings.

Excellent excellent book. Forbidden / enemy to lover is absolutely exceptional in this book. What would you do when captured by a stunningly gorgeous man, threatened to be sexually taken as repayment for a debt your brother obtained. Struggle as you might mentally but your body is a fierce traitor. But there’s something odd underneath the fear and underneath his the need to conquer could there be more. Page turning book that left me breathless and needing more

I’m not really a romance reader but I love a good dark romance where the MMC is a dark, broody, villain type guy who ultimately has a heart of gold where his woman is concerned, and Kingston definitely fits the bill. Ava just so happens to be caught in the middle of a war between tall, dark, and cruel Kingston, and her brother Carson. Kingston absolutely takes advantage of the situation and he uses Ava to his advantage when he kidnaps her. A King So Savage is really fast moving, edge of your seat, thrilling read that delivers an exciting read but definitely comes with a few trigger warnings and I don’t know that Kingston actually becomes likable. I’d be interested in picking up book two to find out if he does. It also ends with a cliffhanger.

4.5 stars There are warnings for trigger content so make sure to read that before reading this story. A King So Savage is just the change of pace I needed. It is the first book in The Savage Duet. There is nothing better than a captivating dark romance that is gritty, raw, bloody, and deadly. King is an alpha male. He is a little dark, passionate, possessive, obsessive, dangerous and knows what he likes and gets what he wants. She is nothing more than repayment or so he says but in reality, she is his and won’t let her go. Ava is beautiful and strong, and she is nobody’s pawn. She should be scared of him but something about him draws her in. Together they are hot, and sparks fly. I saw her. I wanted her. I took her. It is a compelling romance tale that at times was a little predictable but with angst, drama, emotion, secrets, danger, secrets, danger, and more. If you like an intense, dominant, possessive, utterly irresistible man who loves just as fiercely as he lives then you will love this book.
