Savage Bloodline #29
Gavin DeLuca: Savage Bloodline
We were star-crossed lovers like Romeo and Juliet from two warring families.
And like Romeo, I destroyed our love when I killed someone near and dear to her heart.
Now, it’s been seven years, and I’ve risen to power with no queen to share my throne.
Against her will, she’s promised to me because it is her family whose empire needs protection.
She hates me.
She hates who I was and who I have become.
She also hates that my touch still thrills her to the core.
Before I make her my bride, she will remember that she was once my Juliet and I, her Romeo.
This time, we will live happily ever after.
Even if it kills us.

Excellent Kickoff
Black Onyx is not only a new addition to the Savage Bloodline family, but a new author altogether. She hit it out of the park kicking off Season 3 of Savage Bloodline.
I loved all of the characters and the chemistry between Gavin and Storm. She was a strong, sexy heroine and he was a sexy, brooding savage.
Deception and betrayal are the foundation of this story, but it wraps up nicely with a package of revenge and a bow of savagery.

Whewwweee Chile!! Season 3 is coming in HOT!! 🔥🔥🔥
I have been waiting patiently for this season of the DeLuca Savages to start. And wow did it start off with a bang!
Gavin and Storm were thick as thieves, tighter than a fist full of $$, and hotter than grease after a Cajun fish fry. But there are some things love can't overcome.
Gavin and Storm come together to forge an alliance between their two families. Like a modern-day Romeo and Juliet Gavin and Storm find themselves dealing with lies, betrayal, family loyalty, miscommunication, remembrance is what was and hopes of what can be.
I loved this author's take on the DeLuca Savages. Some of the verbiage took me by surprise at first. But reading without prejudice allowed me to enjoy this book. The connection, drama, passion, the emotion between the hero and heroine throughout this book were so powerful that I found myself rereading certain passages.
I can't tell you how happy I kept reading this book. I would've missed out on an awesome book. This author is very new to me. But after reading Gavin DeLuca I will be checking out her catalog. This book I highly recommend. It is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.

Marvelous
This is absolutely enjoyable the story has a lot of secrets and suspense. It's has a love/hate relationship between Gavin and Storm. Gavin is the current Don. He is totally in love its been this way for years.What a love song to traditional mafia romances with the art of falling in love.These two tangle to do what seems an insurmountable feat at times. The story is full of vengeance and excitement. It's has action and witty comments between Gavin and Storm some of this would make a less in love couple call it quit.. There are so many reasons I enjoyed this story so much it's so entertaining plus it's a page turner because of the realistic of the vengeance. Their relationship is steamy unpredictable and full of sizzling sexual chemistry between the two. Oh this is a epic experience when reading this story I had to put my big pantaloons on so I could finish without tears in my eyes. Omg !! Please do not past this series up. Because you can't stop yourself from enjoying this its such a fabulous and Hot read!

Betrayal always hurts.
This was a well plotted drama by an author I'd never read before and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Gavin and Storm's stormy relationship. They got a second chance with each other due to threats of a takeover of Harlem where the St. James family ruled and needed protection with the Delucas. Neither of them imagined that they would be betrayed by someones they loved and trusted, all due to jealousy and the craving for control and power. This betrayal hurt their relationship but not their love. Gavin was Storm's Romeo and she was his Juliette. But unlike that fated couple of old, Gavin and Storm are well on their way to their HEA.

Gavin and Storm
I loved this story from the beggining. For Storm and Gavin it was love at first sight that ended due to a big deception. Fast forward 8 years and they are engaged. Althouth, Storm was being "forced" to marry Gavin, I liked that she wasn't mistreated or being controlled by the men in her lives. With both families being a part of the underworld, their joining would protect her family. I loved that he was honest with her throughout the anger and the danger. They were able to survive betrayal and find their happy ending. If my memory wasn't so good I would reread this story next month, that is how much I enjoyed it.

Gavin's Storm
Gavin and Storm
Storm was from a family just like Gavin's and they met at a party in a club. They kept their relationship a secret until an event that broke Storm's heart. She walked away from Gavin.
Gavin was never allowed to explain himself and gave Storm the space she wanted. However, when an offer was made to marry her, he took it. But, he took it with the hopes that she would love him again.
Their story if filled of betrayal, emotions and wasted time. They both don't realize that they are dealing with the same level of betrayal.
Their story is a great addition to the series.

Gavin and Storm
I knew Brocco was gonna be a little salty when Gavin was made Don when it was his birthright but the disloyal things he did he deserved his punishment. Their father knew what he was doing when he chose Gavin over Brocco. Gavin and Storm love was kinda like Romeo and Juliet but then they became Bonnie and Clyde. As close as she and her brothers Xavier and Pierre were I was totally surprised and caught off guard with the betrayal. I'm glad it was handled and the two families have merged stronger than ever.💙💙

I loved Gavin
he loved her from the very beginning. he loved her so much that he made a deal with his enemies for her. lobed her so much that he was willing to let her go, let her live her own life. man enough not to force himself on her. he was willing to wait for her to fall back in love with him. he was sweet and loving to her when everything was going up in smoke. he still stood by her and up for her. he even admitted that they weren't married and gave her the option to either stay or go.
enjoyed their love story, even with all the chaos going on around them.

Worth the Wait
Black Onyx started this series off right! I loved Gavin and Storm's story. I couldn't put this book down. Gavin lives up to his name. He is a DeLuca Savage through and through. The way he handled Brazino, pure savagery. Storm was made for Gavin. Even though her head won't admit it. Her body and soul knew he was her soul mate.
This is a book that I will keep in my rotation.

Stays true to the core of who the DeLuca men are
I like that this book stays very true to the core of the character of Deluca men
Meaning once a Deluca man who is true true to the tenants of the Deluca family, which are loyalty, Love, and willingness to die to protect their families.
When it comes to the woman who is the #1 for them, there is no other. There are no lies, there are no secrets. They share everything with their women.

Goodness
Ma'am. This is why I love reading the Savage Bloodline. I have never heard of you until this boom. And baby, I wasn't disappointed. This right here fits in perfectly. Gavin is a badass willing to do anything for his family and to protect the woman he loves. Storm is HBIC. She showed that under pressure, she is not the one to be played with.
Ms. Black Onyx, I'm about to go check out your other books cause, ma'am, you got yourself a new fan.

Great way to start this series
Gavin and Storm's story is a great way to start the next DeLuca Savage bloodline series. They started off as Romeo and Juliet, but ended up being Bonnie and Clyde. What a great way to describe their journey.
This story has so much doubt, suspicion, question of love and loyalty. But, the way this story was written, it keeps you glued to the pages the entire time.
Brava to Black Onyx! You nailed it for us DeLuca fans!

Gavin and Storm!
This love story between Gavin (Romeo) and Storm (Juliet) that covered seven to eight years was about passion, loyalty, betrayal, family, and above all a never-ending love. At least they got there happily ever after, unlike Romeo and his Juliet.
A great debut book for Ms Onyx. 🔥🔥🔥🔥😂

A Nice Read❤
This was a nice read, I really liked Gavin DeLuca and Storm. The only thing that through me was him being a Don because I knew that Enzo Deluca is the Don of the DeLuca Family. I finally figured out that may be she meant that he was the Capo over Brooklyn. This season is off to a great start and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Loved it!!
I have become a big fan of the DeLuca Savage Bloodline! This story of Gavin and Storm is one of my favorites. The plot is full of mystery and intrigue. Don’t want to give anything away, but I read it from start to finish in less than four hours. I am now a fan and follower of Black Onyx too!

This is a great Story
I love Storm and Gavin's story. They had great chemistry and truly complimented each other!
Although, family can be your worst enemy, they remained level-headed, and made it through the chaos!
I'm glad Gavin & Xavier were able to mend fences....
First read by Black Onyx. I look forward to many more!!

Ohhh I loved this story! It was soo good, I would have never expected the traitors to be who they were. I was glad we were able to find out what really happened between Cain and Gavin. I loved that Storm was dominated but submissive as well.Gavin was definitely giving all Alpha male. This was definitely a page turner

Non-Stop
This book took off and never let up off the gas! Storm and Gavin were meant to be from the very beginning. This book was action-packed and full of twists and turns. The author did a good job of depicting the pitfalls of jealousy and envy. Though it was shorter than many of the DeLuca Savage Bloodline books it was well worth the read. I’ll definitely revisit this one.

A great start to this series. Old lovers turned enemies, are reunited by a threat. But is the threat outside or within? Join Storm and Gavin in their quest to avert a war but they must battle on all fronts to succeed. New author for me. A Great read.

Love and betrayal 💔 ❤️
I've enjoyed Gavin and Storm's story. I'm always pleased to read about the Deluca family. This is such a wonderful series, and it's so well written. The betrayal is unbelievable. This is a must-read, excellent work from the author.

slow burn
It took a minute to get going but once it you’ll be roped in. The DeLuca is always a nice escapade when you need to take a time out from the world and Gavin didn’t disappoint.

Love the series
I enjoyed this story of Gavin and Storm. I like the fact that Enzo was mentioned. I also enjoyed how the truth came out about the jealousy within both families and how, in the end, the Gavin and Storm and their families were united.

Very good read. I loved Gavin’s truthfulness and how straightforward he was. Storm and Gavin were perfect for each other. The betrayals in this story run so deep. I didn’t even see them coming but I’m glad Storm nor Gavin let it take them under.

Too bad his brother couldn’t be happy
Gavin was a better brother than his big brother. He and Storm had to overcome a lot to be together and end she almost lost him because she wouldn’t let explain what really happened between him and Cain seven years ago
