One thing I’ve learned from the Savage Angels Motorcycle Club is that you DO NOT fuck with them, and you ABSOLUTELY do not mess with any one of their family members because they will make you pay with mayhem and bloodshed. Readers were privy to that understanding in Savage Stalker and that idea continues to hold true in Savage Fire. This time around, though, the scope of danger has expanded and all the players involved have something to lose – whether it be territory, honor, or their lives.

“Men like him will break you or fill the void within.”

No truer words have been spoken about a man like Salvatore Agostino. In some ways, he’s untouchable because he’s been around dangerous men all of his life, and he knows how to play the game and watch his back. But Emily Reynolds, estranged sister to Savage Angels President, Dane Reynolds, doesn’t know that side of Salvatore. She sees him as her savior – the man responsible for helping her when she felt hopeless, and even though she’s a bit naïve when it comes to the opposite sex and she doesn’t really know who Sal is, she’s drawn to him just as much as he is to her.

But there’s bigger things at play than Emily and Sal’s burgeoning relationship, which puts their feelings for each other on the back burner and thrusts them and the Savage Angels in a deadly game against dangerous men who will do anything to get what they want.

Savage Fire is a great follow up to Savage Stalker, and readers will definitely see the growth in Kathleen Kelly’s writing. The storyline flows fairly smoothly throughout even with the varying perspectives. Sometimes I find myself getting lost when the point of view changes too many times, but in Savage Fire, it adds to the buildup of the storyline and allows readers to see what’s occurring on both sides of the chaos. I would have liked to see a bit more of Emily and Salvatore getting to know each other better and understanding their respective backgrounds and the choices they’ve made, but I’m sure readers will get that insight as the series progresses because Kat and Dane’s relationship, the main characters in book 1, is explored some in this book, which gives a fuller picture to the readers. Most of the storylines are wrapped up at the end of Savage Fire, so there’s not a cliffhanger per say, but there’s still revealed secrets that need to be dealt with and developing relationships that need to be expanded on, so I’m sure the next book in the series, even though it will undoubtedly focus on new main characters, will shed further light on all loose ends.

4 poison apples

“Wanna tell me the fucking truth about Agostino? Tell me why you didn’t tell Jonas about him?” My voice is steady and full of authority. I am the President of the Savage Angels and I didn’t get here by being a fucking pushover.

He stares at me before glancing at Jonas, who stands beside me. “I wasn’t sure it was him until I went into the café. He’s ruthless. He is a Captain in the Abruzzi Family.”

“You’ve already told me that.” I pause and look at him in the mirror behind the bar. “Tell me why he’s got you so spooked? Tell me why you’re all packed up to fucking leave?” I growl at him.

“Prez, I’ve been a loyal member for years,” he says, staring back at me in the mirror. “If I’ve made a mistake, I would hope that you and Jonas would take that into consideration.”

Now I’m fucking confused. I have no idea what the hell he’s talking about. “Are you asking for leniency? Before you tell me what you’ve done…” My pulse picks up and I try harder to remain calm and in control. “Answer this…would you forgive the sin? Would you spare you if the tables were turned?”

“Prez, we need to call Church.” Jonas interrupts before Fith has a chance to answer.

I nod and look at Fith. “Whatever the fuck you’ve done, you better not have betrayed the MC. If you’ve endangered us…” I shake my head at him and stand. In a voice that everyone in the clubhouse can hear I say, “Call everyone, Church in two hours. Fith is not to leave the clubhouse.” I stalk outside into the sunshine. It’s my first day back and it feels like everything has gone hay‐fucking‐wire.
