Kian Running our family empire doesn’t leave room for distractions. Someone has to keep everything together, and that responsibility falls on me. But all it takes is one night to change everything, and suddenly the only thing capturing my attention sparkles as bright as the Las Vegas lights.
One night is all we agree on. No expectations. No strings. But life has other plans. If there’s one thing about the Savage men, it’s that when we fall…we fall hard and fast. And we always get what we want.
And I want Ace.
Ace I never thought I’d be starting over at this point in my life, but here I am in the City of Lights, surrounded by glamor and luxury, trying to piece together what my future looks like.
When the hottest man I’ve ever laid eyes on approaches me at a club, my name tattooed across his knuckles, I know his type. Rich. Powerful. Dangerous. I probably should have said no when he asked me for one night of fun, but I moved to Las Vegas to start living my life. And what happens when I think I want to be tied to Kian Savage forever?

Lacey is a former overworked ballerina recovering from a devastating car accident 🚗💥 she’s trying to let loose on a dance floor when she catches the attention of a casino owner (mafia man in disguise) Daddy Kian. Kinky one-night stand turns into something more!
Who doesn’t love an obsessed Daddy who knows what he wants ☝️ but I felt like the relationship didn’t have any build up so it just stayed at the same intensity the entire time. The smut lost its appeal as there was no range!
✨ Daddy kink with lots of praise
🖤 MIRROR SEX so she can love her body
✨ OTT obsessed & nurturing mmc
I thought the writing was great but the plot was a bit lackluster. It’s predictable and less vulnerable than the previous books in the series. Easy read but not much more!
morally grey mmc one-night stand dancer fmc insta love daddy kink praise & body love spanking/wooden spoon 🍑🍑 sick bed found family HEA
I have been waiting on this and Kian and Ace did not disappoint at all! I can’t wait for Beckett and Luciano’s books but also I am begging Kaye to also have a book for Caleb!
I love Ace so much. I loved everything about her and Kian’s story.
Ace has such a tragic backstory. So much loneliness and just unfair hands dealt to her. Then there is Kian who holds the world on his shoulders, he thinks he doesn’t have time for love, but he doesn’t stand a chance when Ace enters the picture.
Big truths are revealed about Ace’s life. But this book is pretty low angst and anxiety. Great for an anxiety reader… but make sure you love a Daddy because Kian is alllllll Daddy.
I have to say this was my favorite of the series so far!!! Ace and her past. the dancer ... the "Angel".. and her "daddy" Kian 😍 I wanted more!! so now need beckett story soon I hope
Beauty of a one night stand turning into so much more with an expectation of passion

MY THOUGHTS 💭
Ace is a girl trying to live a normal life, though her life is anything but normal. Overcoming every single trauma and her childhood and in the last year from a significant crash she just wants to be free and out of the cage she wants was in.
Kian feels like he holds a very big burden for his family because two of his brothers are married and one of his brothers is a wild card so with the weight of the family in the business is on his shoulder can he let go long enough to find his Ace in the deck of cards that have been handed to him.
I love the growth that not only the FMC has but also the MMC has I think both people are trying to come out of the shadows from behind people in their lives and I also think they're both very misunderstood in a way.
I absolutely freaking love Aces cousin Luciano, I need that man to get a book.
There were two Side characters in this book that I secretly want them to fall in love and I think because there was so much foreshadowing it's a possibility which I'm hoping for.
As far as spice in the book I feel like he is so soft and tender with her that it is mostly sensual and there's a tad bit of roughness but because he is so protective and so concerned for her health and well-being it's mostly tender we're just so romantic.
I also would say that plot is very well laid out and there is a very big mystery hidden between the lines of who did what and who's behind it all.
I loved being able to see characters from other Kate's worlds and thought it was so amazing but she included small parts of them.
As far as the biggest thing that kind of sticks out towards the FMC she has two main things that as soon as you think of her you think of those two things I related so much to her and being a person that lives with certain health issues that are similar to her I felt her pain.
If you’ve been following the Savage brothers like I have, then you already know—once you start, there’s no going back. This one absolutely did not disappoint.
I’ve been hooked since Cash, completely sold after Xander, and now it’s Kian’s turn. He brings that classic Savage energy—dominant, protective, and all about his woman. These brothers always hit the mark emotionally, and Kian’s story is no exception.
What really stood out for me in this book was the pacing. It flows so effortlessly from chapter to chapter—no awkward breaks, no missing pieces, no “wait, what just happened?” moments. Every scene builds naturally into the next, and I genuinely love that kind of continuity. It keeps you completely immersed, and I was fully invested the whole way through.
Character-wise, Kian and Ace are such a strong pairing. Kian brings that intense, alpha energy, but there’s depth there too—he’s not just powerful, he cares. And Ace? She balances him beautifully. There’s strength, vulnerability, and chemistry that just works.
Their relationship feels fast, yes, but it’s emotional and believable in that classic Savage way—when these men fall, they fall hard.
Plot-wise, it keeps that signature mix of spice, emotion, and just enough tension to keep you turning pages. You’re not just here for the romance—you’re here for the world, the family dynamics, and the way everything connects across the series.
And can we talk about what’s coming next? Because I need Beckett’s story immediately. Also… I don’t know what it is, but I have a feeling Caleb is going to play a much bigger role 👀
Loved this third installment of the Savage Brother series! Ace was so sweet but so strong, she's been through hell and back but still is kind to everyone and I loved seeing her take her life back. Kain is broody and possessive but his flags are pink at most.
Lacy (Ace) has finally broken away from her controlling mother while still healing from a super traumatic/ballet career ending car accident to start fresh in Vegas. Little does she know that one trip to a club, alone, put her on the radar of Birthday Boy Kian Savage. Kian was there after his brothers dragged him out to celebrate is 38th birthday. Kian and Ace agree to one night: no strings, no names, and no numbers. But when she slips out of the hotel room in the morning he knows he's not able to accept one night. She is his future. What follows is a steamy, sweet and surprisingly emotional journey of two people who can't help but be together forever.
I really enjoy all of Kate's books and have a special soft spot for the Savage Brothers. They have been through a lot and deserve their happy ending. Ace was such a great female character. Strong and independent but soft and sweet at the same time. Kian was bossy, protective and kind of jackass to her cousin but he's a man that, when he sets his mind on something, nothing can hold him back. It was also fun to see some familiar faces!
I would absolutely recommend this, but please check her trigger warnings, "Daddy" is not just for the bedroom in this book but it is not a full DD/lg story.
Savage Ties by Kate Oliver had me hooked from the start. I was so ready to be back with the Savage brothers, and I just knew Kian was going to deliver. And he absolutely did. The protective, slightly unhinged daddy vibes? Elite. Kian steps right into that role and makes it impossible not to swoon.
Ace was such a standout for me. She’s sweet, but there is a quiet bravery in her that makes her the perfect match for someone like Kian. Watching them come together felt natural and satisfying, especially with how fiercely protective he is of her.
I also loved the added layer of Ace’s background. Finding out she’s a mafia princess brought in a whole new level of tension and intrigue, and it kept me on my toes in the best way. Another big, powerful family entering the mix? Yes please.
This book had the perfect balance of swoon and humor. I was kicking my feet one minute and laughing the next. That cemetery scene with all the brothers? I was genuinely cracking up. And as someone who has read Kate Oliver’s books, I loved all the little mentions of past characters. Seeing Knox and Addie pop up again just made it feel like such a full, connected world.
Also, I need to talk about Luciano Rucci because I am already counting down the days until his story.
Savage Ties is Kian’s story in the Savage Sins series, and it delivers a strong mix of romance, family loyalty, and suspense.
Kian lost his mother to cancer and later his father to assassination, but he grew up surrounded by love and support from his family. That responsibility shaped him into the serious, dependable one who always holds everything together.
Ace (Lacey), on the other hand, grew up privileged but emotionally neglected. After losing her father young and surviving a devastating accident that ended her dance career, she moves to Las Vegas determined to finally live life on her own terms.
When this “tiny, glittery sprite of a woman,” as Kian calls her, enters his life, he isn’t looking for love—but Ace slowly finds her way into his world.
The one thing she hasn’t told him is that she comes from an Italian mafia family. When Kian later discovers Ace’s accident may not have been an accident at all, he joins forces with her cousin Luciano to uncover the truth and protect her.
A beautiful mix of romance, loyalty, and danger.
“Love isn't about who stands by your side only when you're up. It's about who doesn't flinch when you're not.”
Thank you to Kate Oliver for the ARC—another fantastic addition to the series!
🖤Mafia Princess 🖤Age Gap 🖤One Night Stand 🖤Daddy Kink 🖤Found Family
Savage Ties is the third book in the Savage Sins series. While it can technically be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the first two books first to fully appreciate the connections and characters.
After a car accident changes her life forever, Lacey decides it’s time for a fresh start. She leaves Seattle behind and heads to Vegas hoping to rebuild her life. One night at a club, she meets Kian and the two agree to a simple arrangement: one night, no names, no strings attached. But fate has other plans, and they soon realize their lives are far more connected than they expected.
Lacey and Kian are straight fire together. Their chemistry is intense from the very beginning, and the tension between them kept me completely hooked. I also loved the found family aspect of this series. It adds so much heart to the story alongside all the danger and drama.
If you love mafia romance with explosive chemistry, emotional tension, and a hero who will burn the world down for his girl, you definitely need this one on your TBR!
From beginning to end, this heart stopping story will keep entranced! I love the Savage brothers and looked forward to Kian’s story. And what a story it is! He is oh so dark and delicious to the point I couldn’t help but fall in love with him. When he meets Lacey aka Ace, all bets are off. She is his dream girl and he will stop at nothing to make her his. Ace has had a rough life and moves to Vegas to get away from her past. Never expecting to meet someone like Kian, she knows deep in her heart, while he may be a Savage, he is it for her. This story takes you on a wild ride into their relationship and all that it entails. Ace is smart and sassy and keeps Kian on his toes. But he will do anything to protect her and keep her safe. And don’t get me started on their sizzling chemistry! Plus I loved the sprinkling of characters I never expected to be in this story! My heart is full! This author has blown me away with this story and I loved every minute of it!
This is the 3rd book in the Savage Sins series and it's another triumph to the excellent writing of Kate Oliver. We have Kian Savage, the calm, ultra focused brother and Ace (Lacey Ricci, mafia princess) who has survived horrific trauma. Lacey moves to Las Vegas to start over after a brutal car accident destroys her Ballet career. A one night stand later connecting with Kian and the fun begins as fate throws these two mesmerizing people together again. The chemistry in this book is off the charts and the wonderful twists and turns will keep you enthralled from beginning to end. Love, drama, suspense, hotness plus, touch her and die vibes, along with a nice age gap, Daddy kink and will provide you with everything you need for a must!! read. If you have read any other of Kate Oliver's book - and you definitely should, then the cameos of other characters from her storys really enhance this book too. Loved it.
Oh Kian was completely the Savage brother I needed. Asking her what he name is "Ace" then he answers with his name being "Daddy". Let her know "Daddy is what you'll be calling me all night if you're a good girl". The pull of not wanting a relationship to wanting what his 2 other brothers have. Happy Birthday big guy!!! Ace agreed to a one night "Yea baby, I have one. Daddy's got you. Just relax and let me have my taste of you." What a night They had!!!! Moving now the brother now think he has a vampire kink because we'll she used enough glitter to put a kindergarteners art to shame. "Oh fuck what happened to you? You're sparkling. . . Like that guy. . . The one from the movie. Dude, don't tell me you're into vampire kink". Ace is an Italian Mob daughter that lost her dad and lost her ballet dreams from a car accident. How Kian takes care of her and how she takes care of her own business. . . I AM HERE FOR IT ALL!!!!!
It was good until the FMC decided to act against common sense from one moment to another and the MMC kept up his insane jealousy. He was jealous that she spoke with his brother, who just barely survived a bullet wound while he was in the same room. He was jealous of her male cousin. And he didn't want her to talk to any man who wasn't him. He was giving abusive boyfriend core, because he didn't want any other man in her life not even when he knew that the men were good and also wanted to protect the FMC.
The male cousin who is the MMC of the next book was also sus. There was one scene, in which the MMC threatened to not only spank the FMC with his hand or a wooden spoon but threatened to get out his belt. I was appalled. But the cousin didn't react even though he hates the MMC and is very overprotective of his cousin. That he most definitely is into daddy Dom dynamics isn't enough of an explanation for that.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
SAVAGE TIES is a sexy, emotional, mafia adjacent romance that is both witty and steamy, with the right amount of heart.
The banter between Kian and Ace is pure gold, and the chemistry? Off the charts. And let’s be honest, Kian Daddying Ace? Absolute perfection. The way Ace melts for him had me grinning like a fool. It’s hot, it’s tender, and it somehow manages to be funny too. Ace might act tough, but she loves every second of Kian being all bossy and over the top and I was right there cheering them on and secretly wishing that Kian would Daddy me, too.
This book has everything, Vegas glitz, family drama, sizzling sexy times and laugh out loud moments that sneak up on you. Kate Oliver, please never stop writing these kind of men and please, please, please give Luciano Ricci his own book!
I’m giving SAVAGE TIES the judy.ann.loves.books stamp of approval, TBR and Enjoy!
I might have squashed my Mafia Romance reading slump. I’m 2 for 2 now. The first being Clarissa Wild’s Matteo, and now with my first Kate Oliver book. I don’t know where these books have been or where I’ve been. And true to fashion, I did not start Savage Sins in Order. Savage Ties is Book 3, and I had no trouble reading it. There were enough of the other brothers in it to pique my interest, so I will be going back to read their books. I liked being able to dive into the story right away. It caught my interest both with Ace and Kian. The spice was right up front. The main plot was also a twist in itself, with Ace at the center, and I liked how it all weaved back to the Savages. I enjoyed this story.
They just keep getting better.🥰 I have loved every book I've read of Kate's so far, and this one is no different. I was so excited for Kian's book and it did not disappoint. Loved him and Lacey (Ace) together. There is a mystery of who was out to kill Lacey, and I was not expecting who it ended up being.
Now I want Beckett, Cassian, and Luciano's stories.☺️
Ohhh how I loved Daddy Kian. But I think I’m going to hold out for Luciano! While Ace may be considered a brat, I honestly didn’t think so. I think she was held down for so long that she was finally coming into her own voice and mind. I think everyone deserves that. Great read overall which I’d highly recommend
My favorite quote is from Kian: "Tell me what you want, and I’ll make it happen. I just need you to be your authentic, sweet, magical self because you’re shifting something inside me, and it feels good, angel.”
I loved it! This one definitely expanded the savage world and had a ton of interconnected characters. The only thing missing is the epilogue. Fingers crossed, there is still time!!
This series gets better with every book. Lacey is the perfect counterpoint to Kian. I loved the cameo of her Seattle friends. I'm also looking forward to Beckett's book.
The newest installment of the Savage brothers does not disappoint. Action. Love. Romance. Intrigue. Special cameo appearances. All of wad exactly what we wanted for the brothers. Cannot wait for the finale book!
Absolutely LOVED this story. Everything from the insta love/lust to seeing old friends…..to wow! You just need to read this one. These Savage brothers are **chef kiss**
This is the third book in this series and absolutely amazing. The Savage brothers are my favorite. Kian and Ace are so good together. Ace is such a strong and powerful woman and daddy Kian is her perfect match
Loved this story. It was a great mix of plot and relationship and spice. The banter between the brothers is always a good time, and the Vegas locale gives the feel of glitz and glamour.
