Manda's 5 Star Review
This is definitely one of those stay up all night reading because you can't put it down kind of books!! I have been a huge fan of River Savage for a while now and I am once again completely blown away by the writing talent of this author. From page one I was drawn in to this world and I could not let go until I read every word.
I loved each of the characters, from the main characters to the supporting characters. I loved the sassy attitude and huge heart of Liberty and Strength and vulnerability of Hetch. Mitch definitely tugs at the heart strings and I love the emotion and strength he brings to the story. I am dying to know more about all the members of Hetch's team. An amazing cast of characters that are going to have awesome stories to share. I really can't say enough about this book. It is filled with action, suspense and a wonderful story about forgiveness, acceptance and moving forward from the wounds of our past. I am hooked and cannot wait for more.
Infatuation (Knights Rebels MC #4) by River Savage
Beau McIntyre is driven by a past smothered in blood and covered in bruises. Though tragic, it's help shape his future and define the man he's become.
Day in and day out, he's reminded of his failures in the faces of the women he saves. But what happens when one girl threatens to blow all of that apart? Will Beau lose his grip on the controlled lifestyle he abides by?
Mackenzie Moore is running from a past she needs to forget. A past that has molded her into a woman living in fear. One fateful night, her carefully constructed world is pulled down around her, forcing her to make a decision she's not sure she can live with.
Turning to the Knights Rebels MC for help is the last thing she wants, but everything she needs.
Can Beau save her once again, or is what she running to far worse than what she’s running from?
Manda's 4 Star Review
I could not wait to get my hands on this book. Beau has always been to me a bit of a mysterious character in the series. We never get too much about this completely controlled man but we know there is a lot to him. I just knew his story was going to be a power one. The subject matter in Infatuation is a difficult one and River Savage does a fantastic job of telling this story.
Mackenzie is a victim of domestic abuse and is saved by Beau but when her ex finds her again she has no choice but to turn to Beau for help once more. Beau is an amazing character who devotes his life to helping woman escape abusive relationships. He works hard to help them because he carries a lot of guilt from his past. From the second they reconnect you can just feel the pull between them but Beau requires completely control in all things and Mackenzie is keeping something from him.
The twists in this story are fantastic and keep you on your toes. As always River Savage gives us an amazing look into the lives of the Knights Rebels and keeps us wanting more. This series just keeps getting better and better!!

Manda's 4 Star Review
I am such a huge fan of this series!! I have absolutely loved the previous books in this series and once again I was not disappointed. River Savage has a gift for fantastic story telling and I am forever a fan. From the very beginning I was completely taken with the story and characters. We get a small taste of them in the previous books, so I was really looking forward to hearing their story. I loved Jesse from the beginning and though I found myself disliking him at certain points in Desertion, I just really loved their story. Bell is a fantastic character and exactly the kind of person who could go head to head with Jesse. Both characters are fighting demons, and at times it gets to be too much for them, but the Knights Rebels are a family. I love that about these books. They really are a family and they would do anything for each other. Of course we get a taste of the club members and their woman in this book, but we also get introduced to some pretty funny friends of Bell. I just cannot say enough about how much I love this series and author. Each book just gets better and better and I cannot wait for the next in the series. Congrats River Savage on another fantastic addition to an already stellar series.

"Jesse Carter is dangerous. His words are his weapons, and when up against him, I'm left unarmed."
I've been in love with River's books since I read her first one. She writes with this amazing ability to connect the reader to the characters, no matter what the circumstance is. I feel in love with Nix and Sy, so I had no doubt I would love Jesse too.
Jesse is a man with a rough and battered life. Being overseas and seeing what he saw did damage to him that could of taken over his whole being. But Jesse was determined to not let that get to him and bring him down, or so he thought. Jesse's past stopped him from receiving love from anyone. That is until Bell sneaks into his life in an unexpected twist.
"Sweet, innocent Bell is f**king sexy, and for reasons I can't even explain, I need a f**king taste."
Bell has had her fair share of heartache in her short life. Loosing her sister at a young age, Bell is forced to grow up a very sheltered life. Bell is walking a fine line between who she thinks she needs to be and who deep down she knows she is. Her life is shaken up once she hears about Jesse and the MC. Could they be the key to finding her sister? Or will she find something else?
I loved this book! Jesse is dominant and commanding and Bell just loves it. The combination between super sweet and alpha is perfect. Jesse was a huge dick, but he had his reasons. Bell was the innocent good girl who feel for the ultimate bad boy. Like her other books this one had me on the edge of my seat waiting for what was going to happen. Wonderful job River!

Affliction (Knights Rebels MC #2) by River Savage
Three little words are all it takes to rip his world apart. Lost in his own affliction, Sy has been living in a darkness that he doesn't ever want to let go of.
Until she arrives and shines her light so bright that nothing else mattered.
She was only in it for the chase, for the thrill of capturing the unattainable.
But what happens when her world shatters around her, spiraling her into the darkness beside him?
Can his affliction be her resurrection?
Or will two lost souls living in the depths of deception let it destroy them?
Manda's 4 Star Review
When Holly comes strutting into Sy's life he has no intention of giving her the time of day. Holly is determined to push her way into the broody bikers life, if for nothing more than a quick fling. Sy prefers to stay detached and concentrate on his job as a tattoo artist, with an occasional random hook up. Holly has no desire to get into anything serious preferring the love em and leave em lifestyle. When these two meet the chemistry is undeniable and they decide to burn it out and then walk away. When tragedy strikes and destroys Holly, turning her into a shell of the woman she once was, Sy feels the need to help. Having experience with living a life without really living, he is determined to bring her back. There is so much to the story that Sy doesn’t know and when the truth finally comes out it can destroy more than just Holly.
I absolutely loved book one in this series and could not wait to get my hands on book 2. I was not disappointed! River Savage has a talent for sucking you so deep into the lives of her characters and their story, that you don't even realize it's over until you finish the last page. This was one of those stay up way to late reading books and I loved every minute of it. Its such a powerful and emotional storyline. Much different than book one where we get a small taste of Holly and Sy, but have no idea the depth of the scars that they carry. Fantastic book and I cannot wait to read more from this author. I highly recommend this series. You will not want to put them down!!
Mag's 4 Star Review:
Sy and Holly's relationship is complicated, brutal, and emotional but it is unbelievably beautiful too. Sy and Holly have an unbreakable bond that both scares them and ties them together. Sy knows heart ache. He has lived and breathed heart ache. When Holly enters his world he fights the pull that she has on him. Holly wants nothing to do with Sy. He is broody, moody, and everything she doesn't want in life. One night of passion and Holly can't seem to keep her thoughts off of Sy. Holly quickly finds out her own version of heart ache and it tears her down and has no mercy on her.
I love everything by River and this book is no exception! I would defiantly recommend this book to anyone, but would suggest reading book one first.
Incandescent (Knights Rebels MC #1) by River Savage
Phoenix ‘Nix’ Knight thought pulling his club out of the illegal shit his Pops got them into was difficult.
Until he meets Kadence.
Kadence Turner has no business lusting over a student’s father, especially the president of the Knights Rebels MC. Nix is crass, obnoxious and dangerously sexy and for some reason, Kadence can’t seem to hate him for it. The bossy biker breaks down her defenses, but unlike the old Kadence, the woman she is today won’t give in without a fight.
The tension is undeniable, the attraction fierce. A man that wants what he wants and a woman that will fight him every step of the way
Manda's 4 Star Review:
Kadence Turner is a teacher who takes great pride in her work. Always wanting to make sure her students thrive she becomes concerned when one of her quieter student begins acting our. Kadence calls a conference with him parents but was in no way prepared for who walks in her door. Phoenix ‘Nix’ Knight is the president for the Knights Rebels MC and has quite a reputation. The attraction for one another is felt right away but Kadence has been hurt in the past and the last thing she is looking for is more trouble. Nix is not one to take no for an answer so he is determined to get her on the same page. As Nix pursues Kadence ghosts from the past move in to complicate things.
I think this is one of the better MC books I have read in awhile. I loved the story line and characters. This is not your typical MC book. I immediately loved the relationship between Kadence and Nix. The way the 2 banter back and forth is hilarious and the same goes for Holly and Kadence. This story will pull you in from the very beginning and you will not want to put it down River Savage has done an amazing job telling this story and I cannot wait to read more from this talented new author. Even if MC books are not your thing this book is a must read!!!
Mag's 5 Star Review:
I will start of by saying I LOVE MC books.. Love them.. adore them.. consume them.. River made a MC book that was not your typical MC book and I loved every second of it.
Kadence Turner is a teacher who loves what she does and takes pride in what she does. When one teacher’s conference turns into a heated stare down between herself and the president of Knight’s Rebels, things go from calm to lust filled quickly. Nix can’t seem to figure out what is pulling himself to his sons teacher, but after getting to know her more he doesn’t care he just wants Kadence. The big problem Kadence has been burned in the past and the past keeps haunting her.
River created a world I didn’t want to leave. She had me from the very first chapter and I didn’t want to put the book down. Kadence was amazing. She is strong, witty, and keeps Nix on his toes at all times. Nix is all biker, but has a defiant softer side that drew me in. Regardless if you are a MC fan or not, this book will be one you won’t want to put down!
