A vendetta that brought us back to Forest Grove has put all our lives on the line. The woman we love is thrust back into the arms of the monster that hurt her. Lives are hanging in the balance as we go up against the original founder of the Saviors—the one person who can beat us at our own game.

And he might win this time.

this duology was entertaining fr and im so upset that it’s over already! this picks up right where book 1 left off— with more plot twists, bonding, characters and revenge. i liked seeing the mc’s mercenary sides more and once again the author continued to balance every aspect of this book so well. the individual growth in the characters as well as the added development between each relationship within the group is my absolute fav thing to see.. i love them all sm send help. 🥹

yes, Sean still got me in a chokehold🧎🏻‍♀️. also.. yes, the stamina tournament continues in here 🥴🏆.

fav quotes

➵ “I can’t imagine a life without them in it. Sean’s humor, Kai’s quiet presence, Cole’s stupid jokes, Axel’s stubbornness, and Nolan’s sweet innocence.”

➵ “Humor is my defense mechanism, and I’ve been relying on it a lot lately. I’m just glad no one calls me on it. If I didn’t laugh, I’d fall apart.”

➵ “Yes. Us girls have to stick together with the number of men we drown in daily.”

➵ I thought you were crazy, but in reality, you’re pathetic. You had to take your anger out on a woman because you could never stand up against a real man. After you’re dead, I’ll make sure I cover every scar on my body so I never have to think of you again. Say hi to Charlie when he gets to hell.”

➵ “None of them are better than the other. Axel makes me feel cared for, Cole takes me to another dimension, and Kai feels like he’s splitting me in half, in a good way.”

➵ “I guess we’ll have to kill Nolan now,” Sean says with a completely straight face. “Letting our girl go see half-naked dudes. Ohhhhh, shit, wait. Can I go?”

➵ “What does Brady look like again?” “Blond hair, blue eyes, and dead when we get our hands on him,” Axel answers.

➵ “I never thought in a million years I’d fall in love with his little punk-ass.”

➵ “I was content with being alone, but after I met Sean and Kai, I knew that was bullshit. Sean saved my life, and he doesn’t even realize it.”

Guyssssss what just happened!!!! From start to finish I was literally cackling, sobbing, and blushing the whole time! Man I need some men like those boys! The growth between all the guys and their relationships with Chelsea is literally so amazing. Getting to watch Nolan come out of his shell made my heart so happy🥹 Sean, Kai, Cole and Axel 🥵 literally burning me because they are so hot!

I absolutely loved seeing Chelsea becoming one with herself. The love and appreciation she gained for herself is so inspiring. She is one tough cookie!

Ames… you’ve done it again! I am obsessed! I have reread every single book and if you give me a couple weeks I’ll be coming back to my family here. I have yet to find books that even begin to compete with yours! So happy to be here and so excited for what’s to come!

I just love these characters so much 😭 Ames Mills has created such a comfort books for me.❤️

I do feel like it dragged in some parts but I honestly didn't mind.

The Saviors part 2 stars off exactly where the BRUTAL cliffhanger of part 1 left off, plunging readers into a whirlwind of emotions, twists, and turns. Ames Mills weaves a masterful narrative that's equal parts thrilling and tantalizing. She is literally Masterclass.

In this amazing sequel, the stakes are higher. The problems from part 1 escalate. The connections between these amazing characters deepen. We're fully immersed in a world that runs the full gamut of emotions from joy and love to fear and treachery! From heart-racing encounters to heartwarming moments, "The Saviors, part 2" is an addictive cocktail of sexy passion, unyielding loyalty, and enthralling storytelling.

If you haven't dipped your toe into the Ames Mills worlds yet, you need to. I promise you will not regret it. While The Saviors duet can be read outside of the Abbs Valley series, I wouldn't sleep on reading all of them. These books, by this author, are literally life changing.

*I received an ARC in exchange for an unbiased, honest review.*

ARC REVIEW:
I’d like to start off by saying “king kong dong”, that’s it.
But in all seriousness, I’ve been waiting on this book for months and I’m grateful for the chance to have gotten an ARC. I love this book and I knew I would. I like, not just how realistic the struggles are, but how in depth it gets for each character and how they’re each feeling before overcoming it in their own times and ways. Normally in books people will recover from serious injuries or traumas in just a couple days, which doesn’t make sense, but this one gave details of each character’s recovery and the length of time was practical. Ames’ previous books have been more smut heavy and though I love that, I can also appreciate the change of pace in this one with it being more plot heavy in the beginning. I like that all the characters from the Abbs Valley series is so prominent in this duet, rather than just randomly thrown into the background of the story. Axel went from alphahole to permanent cinnamon roll for Nolan and Chelsea and I was totally here for that transformation. Chapter 21 included a new toy that I haven’t seen in any other book before. 😏⚔️ I found it hilarious that yet another group of men are trying to find their way into the girls group chat. 😂 the plot twists gave me a roller coaster of emotions, and all their comm conversations had me laughing so hard I was crying. The ending was the cutest damn thing. This duet was awesome, you guys are gonna love it. ❤️

[Shelby | Spicy.booknook · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not a whole lot to add to the review I did for book one. Still an unbelievable amount of smut 😂 Characters still on point. I have to say there was a lot more plot and action in this one. There were no spicy scenes until 25% making it feel almost like a slow burn 😅

In this one there is a lot of interaction with characters from the other series, so I did feel in this book more so than book one, that I started with the wrong series.

Still an entertaining duet. If you are looking for a smutty action packed read, def recommend this series.

[Jessica Shearer · Rating 3 out of 5]

It literally KILLS me to give an Ames Mills book anything less than a four. She might follow a script with each duet, and she may be in desperate need of a (better) editor, but I have loved everything she has put out SO MUCH. Since this is the fourth duet in the same universe, following the same prescriptive plot, there was no way this would get over 4 stars. So why does this have only three?!

Without the spoiler... the "plot twist" that she was so proud of is why I took a star away.

With the spoiler...
The fact that any of them would believe that Sean was a plant is insulting and ridiculous. Charlie had already tried to convince Axel that Cole was the leak, and Axel quickly put that aside, but he was willing to immediately believe that sweet Sean was the leak, just because the bad guys said so. I could not contain my eye roll.

Overall though, I still love Ames Mills. I am not sure how she writes characters that are just so dang loveable, but I did really enjoy the Forest Grove crew. That being said, my favorite moments were still whenever Gage or Caden popped up. I love those troublemakers so much.

I would still recommend this duet, but I hope that she leaves this universe behind soon because it is starting to get repetitive. I'll still read anything she publishes, but too much of a good thing will lose its appeal eventually.

[Millie · Rating 2 out of 5]

The plot was dumb because so many unnecessary things happened to make it look like a complicated one. The whole thing with Charlie, Brady and Amber didn’t make sense. I tried to find some logical explanations on why everything Charlie decided to do was calculated but it just wasn’t?! Like why keep Chelsea alive for so long? Why did Charlie go into hiding when he wanted the guys back in Forest Grove? I don’t even get why Brady had to marry Chelsea when the guys weren’t coming back?! Like why all of things happened?
I am very confused. Charlie had so many occasions to just kill them all and be done with it.

A lot A LOT of sex scenes, silly butt jokes you make when you’re 18 (they’re still in their early 20 so I guess it’s kinda ok?!) everybody loves everybody like this is a heavenly polyamorous relationship. What kind of witchcraft happened in these fake towns? maybe they need to get the water tested.

I won’t bother with another book from this author she seeks to have a pattern I don’t enjoy.

[bookdiaryofyana · Rating 5 out of 5]

This f'in book!!!

This book was everything!!! I was so invested in the story! The cliffhanger from book one made me jump into this one immediately and it did not disappoint!
The even bigger character development in this book is everything!
I fell in love with everyone for all different reasons, but can we just talk about Sean for a second!! He made this book! He is one of my all time favorite characters! He's funny, caring, manly, he gives so much!! He's everything!
But all the guys are amazing!!
This story also had a great plot!!
And the spice????? The best spice I've ever read!
I'm obsessed!!!

The Saviors: Part Two by Ames Mills
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Ames is officially an auto buy author for me. I have loved every single book but I will say this one had me the most distraught. I finished 15 minutes ago and my heartbeat still isn’t back to normal after the last 2 chapters of that book 😅 I was questioning everyone and honestly didn’t know what was going to happen.

This book had lots of action, twists, and of course hot as hell spice. The scene with all 5 guys will forever live rent in my head forever 🥵 I loved all of the different relationships within the group but Cole & Sean will have my heart forever.

I hope in the future we get more books or novellas about all of the characters from Abbs Valley & The Saviors because I love them all so much 🫶🏻

[Tiffany Stoddard · Rating 5 out of 5]

Where do I begin? This book started with the adrenaline pumping because the cliffhanger was brutal. Readers came into this one on life support from the wait, but Ames revived us like only she can! I was in an emotional roller coaster from hell with this one and I LOVED EVERY minute of it!! The main characters all went in a journey of growth that was beautiful to see. Chelsea became the strong warrior that we’ve all known she was. Sean became more outspoken found the love that he needed. Kai, my Kai, was able to finally love and be loved. Nolan became the badass 2.0 that was always waiting. Cole showed the leadership that he needed to display and said things he needed to. And Axel had to learn to lean on his team and TRUST in them rondo what they have been trained to do. Their love as a whole grew them individually and as a family. I can say that this has been my favorite RH by Ames. She loves her characters and she makes us love them as well. I can’t wait to continue reading her amazing work!!

[Shantelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another epic book by Ames Mills. I wanna start off with after that cliffhanger I was so excited to jump in and find out how it would all come together and be okay. I was not disappointed by any means. Ames always has a way with her writing but this book took it to another level. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I laughed, I cried and I was mad though out the book. The incorporation of the Abbs Valley characters though out was wonderful, and like I aways say the BANTER between her characters is second to none!! She really knows how to make characters that you really love and root for every moment of the way. I found myself wanting to hug all of them at one point or another. I would like to say that I have a favorite but honestly they all hold that spot at different times. The girl chat comments from the men was hilarious and don't get me started on Magic Mike 🤣 Last but no least the last twist persay had me very upset.. I mean how could you Ames!! 😏 I never doubted for a second and that's all I am gonna say on that. All and all this was a joy to read. Ames Mills is one of those authors I auto buy! I don't care what she is writing, I need it in my life!

Omg just finished this book and let me say this is the second time Ames made me cry. Reading about what happens to the boys and how stronger everyone came out made me shed some happy tears. Now be ready for some big plot twists, emotions to run high, and the greatest HEA.

Ames you did an amazing job on this one! I can’t wait to see what’s next and i definitely would recommend this book every time!

Emotions: 5/5

How can I review a book when words are just soo poor, not enough to describe it? Since I read Ames mills first book I had thought I won the book lottery. Her books are all I’ve ever wanted to read.. A love story, friendships, a family and most of all the hot smutty scenes. The Saviors is no exception. The plot is full of adventure, danger, love, sex and most of all i feel it’s like coming home. How many authors can make me feel like reading their books is like reading about family? I can count them on one hand.
This book, this series and all her books are an unbelievable, amazing journey you never want it to end. Run…. Run and buy her books and you won’t regret it.
P.S.

We pick up right where part 1 ends. Be ready to have your heart put back, and ripped out again before all is well. You will laugh with tears down your face and your heart will pound out of your chest wondering what is gonna happen next.

BRB CRYING 😭💗💗💗

There are no words on how I felt about finishing this duet and kinda closing this world. But knowing Queen Ames, she has a lot of characters that she needs to introduce to us 😂
AKA @ Ari’s Team and Gavin 👀👀

After the cliffhanger of part 1, that was honestly the worst cliffhanger I’ve ever had read 😭 and that’s saying something.

We finally have reached the end of Chelsea’s chapter with her guys. It was a lovely ending having all of Abbs Valley & the Saviors working together 💗

I need like a sequel novella again but with all the groups this time! 😂😂

*ARC review* no spoilers!
Ames, my beautiful favorite author, that was phenomenal! As usual, you ripped us apart at the end of part one, but you put us together piece by piece in part two. I especially loved the cameos with the Abbs Valley crews! The silly banter evens out the dark mercenary/mafia content (which lets be real, we wouldn’t be reading semi-gory stuff if we didn’t all love dark romance anyway). And then there’s the sex, which, as always, was just **fanning myself** 🥵 there is just so much spice, so much love, and so much laughter in this book. I went through so many emotions throughout these chapters, including but not limited to: giddy laughter, absolute rage, tears and heartbreak, and immense love for these characters. The Abbs Valley and Forest Grove books hold a special place in my heart and I recommend them to everyone and anyone!! Can’t wait for the next Ames Mills work of art!! Now, if I could just get a glimpse of what goes on in the girls’ group chat…. 🤔😂

AHHHHHHHHH!!! This book was incredible! I can’t wait to read about the Beta team!!! Eeeek!

Okay, the actual review. This was amazing. I loved everyone, all the characters. I’m in love. I didn’t read Ames Mills’s Abbs Valley series. I didn’t understand a lot of the dynamics, but I still understood the bigger picture. Which was nice. I just kinda wish there was a dynamic tree at the beginning of the book. 🥲

14%:

"’Yes. Us girls have to stick together with the number of men we drown in daily.’"

57%:

“You don't need to be jacked full of muscle to be attractive, and it's time that he understands that.”

Cole is so right! I actually really liked that about Nolan. He didn’t look the same as them, and he put people in their place. His personality is amazing. Nolan is just perfect, I love him. Definitely my favorite character of them all: and I’m gunna miss him. He was AMAZINGGGG!

——————

98%:

"’I love you.’ I put it around my neck and wrap my arms back around his. ‘So fucking much.’

‘Until the end of time.’”

Probably the best quote of the whole book. ❤️ I love them so much. All of them but particularly these two. 🥰💖


Mwa! Chefs kiss to this whole polyamorous relationship. P.S. Amazing book.

[Amberly Hays · Rating 5 out of 5]

My favorite author is on fire!🖤
Ames Mills knows what she’s doing!! The first part of this duet brings you into the Saviors’ world and makes you fall in love with these guys! Chelsea is our FMC and she’s strong and my absolute favorite Ames had written! The ending of part 1 tears your heart out with that cliffhanger but boy does she know how to make you feel everything! This one really brings everything together and you see the growth in each one of them. I can’t get over how much I loved this book and these characters will be in my heart forever! Still one of my favorite things about her books is you get to read about past characters and the family dynamics are unmatched. The love, character growth, humor and spice is all phenomenal and a must read!! Thank you Ames for another wonderful book!!🖤

[Poupi Mali · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG this duet.
I buddy read The Saviors duet with a friend and I swear I’ve never blushed and sweated as much I did while reading.

This is the story of Chelsea who is a victim of abuse by her husband. She met Sean for her first one night stand.
But Sean is part of a mercenary group called the Saviors with Axel the leader, Kai the enforcer, Cole the lover of launcher grenade and Nolan the hacker.
This is an MMFMMM and this is literally a book about love, no matter who you are or who you love. So brace yourself you’re in for a wild ride.

To be clear I am obsessed with these books. The only flaw is that there are too many characters and sometimes I got lost. It’s part of an universe that we didn’t read before (3 previous reverse harem duets, all interconnected, taking place in mafia/secret society).

My spice rate is broken: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

[lovelyj22 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved the conclusion for this duet!
My favorites are still Sean/Kai/Chelsea. Those three are it!
I really Liked Cole in this one he finally found his voice. I’m in the minority I believe but I’m still not a fan of Nolan and Axel. I feel they could have left the group and they would have been fine.
Amazing group scenes 🥵🥵🥵
One of my favorite things were reading when the other families were on missions. And the banter on the coms. It was hilarious.
Can’t wait to find out who the next books will be about. Although I have some ideas.

[Pirra Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

Y con esto llego al final (al menos, de lo que está completo) de los diferentes grupos de mafiosos de esta autora. Sé que también está disponible el siguiente, pero acaba en cliffhanger y una no puede vivir esas cosas, así que prefiero no empezarlo siquiera y esperar a que estén los dos.

Me ha gustado mucho el desenlace de los Saviors. Creo que Charlie ha sido un oponente increíble (a la altura de su reputación), aunque me parece que ha sido un poco pasarse de frenada con las ramificaciones, pero me da igual, no estoy aquí por las cosas realistas.

Chelsea ha sido una bonita mezcla entre Evie y Les. Creo que llegado a este punto no me voy a sorprender leyendo más libros de esta autora, pero me han gustado mucho y me ha hecho disfrutar como una enana con todas sus aventuras. No esperaba que la cosa fuera así cuando me recomendaron "Riches to riches".

[Corinne · Rating 2 out of 5]

Why make a second book?
Just add 150 pages to the first and wrap it up!!

Overall, the smut in these books were so good!
Don't think I have read any MMMMM(?) sex scenes before.

A lot of bodies in the same bed for sure.

It was OK. The first book had more plot.

I did like the violence toward the bad guys. Felt justified AF.

2/5 stars.

[Kayla Bussell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow. I was not prepared for the twists and turns Ames through at us in this one. She kept me on my toes the entire time. Did I read this entire book in one sitting? Absolutely. I couldn’t take my eyes off it. The connections and love between all the characters are so rich and always put a huge smile on my face. And it’s perfectly blended with action and suspense. I also loved how everyone from the previous books made an appearance and worked together. Amazing job yet again Ames!!!

Favorite quote: ““Keep talking shit, Naughty boy.” “What are you going to do, Captain peg leg?”

It's hard to put down into words what this book did to my emotions. This book had my heart bouncing around (in a mostly good way 😃) like a damn ping pong ball!! I was pissed a lot, giggling at the fun banter, tearing up at all the emotions, swooning over the men, and breathing heavily throughout this whole book! It was a nonstop ride, y'all. I had to put it down several times just to catch my breath and absorb it all. It was such a fulfillingly perfect wrap-up that I was left satisfied in more ways than one 😉. Go read it!!!
