Summary

Not even the holidays can make a bastard like me feel better。
The guys are all gone for Christmas, but I decide to stay。
I'm hunting a horrific serial killer and I can't afford to lose him。

I'm regretting that decision when I find her:
Beaten, bloodied, and left out in the snow to die。
Who is she?
That's the problem。 Not even she knows。
And when I discover that she might be the killer's accomplice, only one thought runs through my mind:
Run。

But there's nowhere to go。 The storm is too heavy。
How can I trust her when she doesn't even know her own name?
The two of us are trapped here, trying to find out who she really is。

Is she here to kill me? Or have I just saved her life?
The only thing I do know is this:
Baby, it's fucking cold outside。

Heartbreaking and steamy ***Holy cow, the steam level of this book is off the charts! I loved Raven and Serena’s story。 The twists and turns were perfect。 This story was heart breaking, mind blowing, and filled with all of the emotions。 The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat and begging for more。 KL Savage writes some of the most addicting stories and this one is no different。 I fell in love with Raven from the very beginning。

If you love MC Club books that are suspenseful, steamy, and insta love with tough Alpha Males and strong sweet female characters you’ll absolutely love this。 Is a quick read but thoroughly enjoyable and gives you all the feels。 Even has a sappy HEA!!! Highly recommend it!! 。。。more

KL Savage has done it again。 Raven was an awesome book。 I loved how Raven was willing to fall in love with her even if the evidence against her was there。 I hate that the ending was totally resolved but I still loved it。 I can’t wait for the next book in the series。

Raven and Serena are instantly attracted to each other but Serena is on the run to save her life。 Lots of twists and turns that will keep you guessing on what will happen next。 Some things in the plot were left to maybe be continued in more books。

A terrific story I really enjoyed this story。 There were mysterious and suspenseful aspects that definitely kept things interesting, as well as more on the ongoing secondary plot regarding the serial killer。 It also included an intriguing twist that I'm interested in seeing how it plays out。 Overall, it was a great story, and one that you'll want to read。 The reason I gave this 4 instead of the usual 5 stars is due to the significant editing errors in this book。 The errors include missing &/or m A terrific story I really enjoyed this story。 There were mysterious and suspenseful aspects that definitely kept things interesting, as well as more on the ongoing secondary plot regarding the serial killer。 It also included an intriguing twist that I'm interested in seeing how it plays out。 Overall, it was a great story, and one that you'll want to read。 The reason I gave this 4 instead of the usual 5 stars is due to the significant editing errors in this book。 The errors include missing &/or misplaced words, in addition to the misspelled ones。 There's also a couple of times that the details are changed during the story。 Unfortunately, this seems to be getting worse with each new release, whereas it was unheard of for this author to have any errors in the books when their career began。 I really hope that this is something that will be corrected, especially since these authors are very talented, and I would hate to see them compromise quality for quantity like so many others。 I have loved all of this author's work, and it's certainly obvious that that many others do as well。 I would highly suggest that you read Thrasher (Royal Bastards MC: book 1) prior to reading this one。 Personally, I would recommend that you consult the authors reading order for the Ruthless Underworld series (which includes multiple series by this author), as there is a lot of character crossover in all of the series。 It will give you a better understanding of the characters, the connections, the different clubs/groups, and the dynamics between all of them。 They're all fantastic stories, and you won't be disappointed。 I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding authors。 。。。more

He’s determined to find the man that put Delilah, his brother, Thrasher’s ol’ lady, in danger and has her terrified that he will come back for her, since she is the only victim to have escaped him。 Raven is a man on a mission, the serial killer wreaking havoc reminds Raven of his past and the tragedy he survived with the help and protection of the RBMC that found him and took care of the man that took Raven’s sister from him。 When the club decides to head to Las Vegas for Christmas, Raven choose He’s determined to find the man that put Delilah, his brother, Thrasher’s ol’ lady, in danger and has her terrified that he will come back for her, since she is the only victim to have escaped him。 Raven is a man on a mission, the serial killer wreaking havoc reminds Raven of his past and the tragedy he survived with the help and protection of the RBMC that found him and took care of the man that took Raven’s sister from him。 When the club decides to head to Las Vegas for Christmas, Raven chooses to stay behind because he is consumed with finding the serial killer and ending his terror。 She thought that she had found someone that cared about her, little did she know that the man that asked her out had ulterior motives。 Now she’s escaped the horrors that he has wreaked on her and others, but is she safe? When Serena is run over by a man in the grocery story with a shopping cart, she finds herself drawn to the man and flirting with him。 He could be her savior。 When she finds herself in danger and tries to get away, she takes a fall and loses her memory。 When she wakes up, she has no idea where she is, who she is, or how she got hurt。I really liked this story of Raven and Serena’s story。 These two are an unlikely pair, but the attraction between them can’t be denied。 They dance around each other for a while, but when they do connect, the steam and attraction is off the charts, and they can no longer deny their feelings。 I love the gruffness of Raven, but his softness finds its way to the surface with Serena, and he is kind and gentle with her。 I love the Portland RBMC chapter and the characters within it。 The closeness these guys share is great, they’re a family by choice, not by blood。 I love K。L。 Savage’s stories and her characters, there is always darkness, but there is also love, humor, and well-rounded characters。 I did have some questions from this book that weren’t answered, but I am hoping that they will be soon。 I give this story a 4。5-star review and look forward to more books by K。L。 Savage in the near future。 。。。more

This was an intense romantic suspense that kept me perched on the edge of my seat, dying to know what would happen next。 Between the gut-wrenching and unpredictable twists and trying to guess what was going on, there is a truly emotional story。 The main characters both share painful pasts that have left them wounded emotionally。 Raven's guilt over the past really resonated with me。 I really loved this story and highly recommend it。 This is my honest opinion, freely given。 。。。more

I had a hard time connecting with this book, which is a first for me with this duo。 The book felt fast paced yet slow at the same time, and the main plot wasn't even fully disclosed by the end of the book。 Which probably means that we will see this couple again in another book, but it just threw me for a loop。 I also saw that twist coming a mile away。Raven and Serena may not have even my favorite couple, but this is still worth reading to get the full picture of this series。 **I received an ARC I had a hard time connecting with this book, which is a first for me with this duo。 The book felt fast paced yet slow at the same time, and the main plot wasn't even fully disclosed by the end of the book。 Which probably means that we will see this couple again in another book, but it just threw me for a loop。 I also saw that twist coming a mile away。Raven and Serena may not have even my favorite couple, but this is still worth reading to get the full picture of this series。 **I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions。** 。。。more

DNF @25% sooo boring。 these authors love the “something traumatic happened to my sister” trope like no other。 I think we were 25% in and the MCs still hadn’t met yet。 mind you this is a short book with like <200 pgs。 I honestly just need to accept that these authors will never write a story like Tongue’s again and call it quits with them

I've been addicted to this brilliant dynamic duo for a cool minute so there's not a story they've released that I didn't love like crazy。 However, before I get into the limited detail I plan to, I have to say this is another beautiful cover that I can't stop staring at。 So, Raven is a man who watched his sister get killed by a killer, and it definitely changed him, so now that they're a serial killer in the area, he's become obsessed with finding out who it is。 As the rest of his MC went to Vega I've been addicted to this brilliant dynamic duo for a cool minute so there's not a story they've released that I didn't love like crazy。 However, before I get into the limited detail I plan to, I have to say this is another beautiful cover that I can't stop staring at。 So, Raven is a man who watched his sister get killed by a killer, and it definitely changed him, so now that they're a serial killer in the area, he's become obsessed with finding out who it is。 As the rest of his MC went to Vegas for a break at Christmas, he stayed behind, and in doing so, his life definitely took a turn for the better。 Serena is on the lam from serious danger so she ends up in his neck of the woods, and he meets her at the grocery store but things didn't go anywhere at that point。 Raven ends up needing to save her after something happened to her as a storm was coming in, and she lost her memory so now it gets super exciting in ways that I'm not even going to talk about。 It not only brings the thunder with the heat factor, but those twists really start to come in hot in ways that I'll never reveal but you seriously don't want to miss out on!

K。L。 Savage is not only one of my favorite authors, I consider her one of the best writers for the MC genre。 I never really read the royal Basterd series until she wrote one。 I thought the first book in the series was amazing, I wasn’t even close。 Raven and Serena are strong, powerful and amazing。 The book is suspenseful。 Deals with trust issues。 And of course romance。 Even if you’ve never read any of her books。 Or if you’ve never read part of the Royal Bastards series, check this one out。 You w K。L。 Savage is not only one of my favorite authors, I consider her one of the best writers for the MC genre。 I never really read the royal Basterd series until she wrote one。 I thought the first book in the series was amazing, I wasn’t even close。 Raven and Serena are strong, powerful and amazing。 The book is suspenseful。 Deals with trust issues。 And of course romance。 Even if you’ve never read any of her books。 Or if you’ve never read part of the Royal Bastards series, check this one out。 You won’t regret it。 。。。more
