My Review

Reaper by K.L. Savage is the first full length novel in the Ruthless Kings MC Series: Las Vegas Chapter.
It has to be said, I am loving K.L. Savage’s gritty, raw and dangerous spin to the MC world. These men are turning out to be how I imagined them to be… Ruthless and Alpha! But I do have a warning, If you don’t like Age-Gap romances.. a twenty year age difference between the anti-hero and his love interest then this is definitely not the novel for you. I, on the other hand and for the most part, loved the hell out of this novel, give or take a few small nit picky moments.

Let’s start with Reaper. Reaper is the president of the Ruthless Kings MC, and this man is about as Ruthless as they come. To sum it up, Reaper is a crazy badass, as are most of the men in the Ruthless Kings MC. I have a strong feeling the more I read of this series, the crazier the men will become…. AND I CAN’T WAIT!!! Bring on all the crazy alpha vibes!! Reaper is protective of those he holds near and dear to him, and honestly, I don’t blame the man for being a tad bit overbearing in this novel considering his best friend, Hawk, died by the hands of a rival.

And then we have Sarah, Hawk’s estranged daughter. Barely eighteen, Sarah is a force to be reckoned with. Since she was sixteen and first set her eyes on Reaper, she knew there was no other man in the world meant for her. Reaper is it and she’ll do everything in her power to make him see her for the woman she is and not for the teenager that came stumbling broken and bruised into his club a few years ago. But Sarah has her work cut out for her, Reaper may not live by the code of the law, but for the most part, he lives by the moral code. He’s made a vow to himself and a vow to the spirit of Hawk, he won’t go there with his daughter. But temptation can be a ‘ruthless’ bitch! I loved Sarah’s flirtatious attitude and I loved the fact that she was the only person in this whole damn novel to put Reaper in his place. This girl had a backbone, that’s for damned sure. But underneath the cool cocky exterior, Sarah is still that little girl who feels neglect and rejection like a stab to her heart. And every time Reaper denies her advances, it’s like another knife wound in the chest.

And herein lies why I really liked this novel, I loved the fact that Reaper waited until Sarah was a legal adult to give in to his little firecracker. And holy hell, did these two give in!! I damn near had to fan my kindle a time or two. Their combustible chemistry throughout the novel gave for some pretty great sexual tension, and that tension ignited… where talking scorching hot sexy time mode! Gah, I don’t think my eyes could get any wider!

Now onto why I rated it a 3 ½ Stars. You see, I really did enjoy this novel…But, I felt it was a tad bit rushed during certain moments. I wanted more sexy moments between Reaper and Sarah because I’m selfish like that. I also wanted to see more of the vulnerability side to Sarah, I loved those moments when she was just a woman with emotions and a love for a man who is forbidden to her. Again, I’m a selfish reader.

But aside from all that, I really did enjoy Reaper and Sarah’s story. I thought it was intense, dangerous, and sexy as sin. I can’t wait to continue on with the Ruthless Kings MC Series! Ah, bring on all the crazy badasses!!!!
