Savage Saviors MC #2

Reckless Carnage

Rate this book
Redemption is not what I was looking for.
I never know what lust and desire could do to me until I saw Eve.
Now, I live to save her. To make her mine.
My plan to make the Black Falcons pay hasn’t changed.
Only now I want to kill them many times more.
For keeping Eve captive.
For running their filthy hands down her gorgeous curve.
For the damage that they’ve done to her.
I would do it even if I kill myself in the process.
For her.

Book 2 sees Derek continuing to plot his rescue of Eve and her roommate, Crystal, from their servitude in prostitution. He also wants to kill their pimp/leader of rival gang and killer of his family, Rock, who is a sociopath.
For the first time since his wife's death, Derek is actually having feelings toward a woman but that certainly can endanger her even worse. There is plenty of carnage and it feels like it's only going to get worse.
Recommending this book for your reading enjoyment if you like MC action and romance.

This was another deep and intense read. Eve and Derek both have been dealing with some crazy things. Derek has been wanting revenge for quite some time. I felt bad for Eve. I can't imagine having to deal with everything that she did. That epilogue was crazy though. It will be interesting to see how the next book plays out.

ONE FAST AND FURIOUS READ!!!
OMG! Talk about hitting the high road. If you're looking for a thrilling read with all the excitement, drama, fear, betrayal, deceit, lies, danger and suspense. Congrats my friends you've just stepped off in it. Numerous twists and turns keep your attention focused on the tale as well as frozen to your seat. A whirlwind of emotions and events really pulls those heartstrings. Unexpected circumstances and unpredictable surprises rule in this fast paced, action packed, hard hitting, nerve racking, nailbiting, heart pounding, pulse racing, page turning dynamo that keeps you on a razors edge until the very last word. The two main characters are complex and believable. The white hot, off the charts electrifying and explosive chemistry are so realistic its palpable. The scenes are so vividly detailed and descriptive it's easy to picture each scenario as they play off one another in perfect balance. This is definitely a one click read. The Allen's did a remarkable job bringing this read to life brilliantly. Fantastic job guys, thanks for sharing this little gem with us.

More Revenge Required

Reckless Carnage is Book Two of the Savage Saviours MC series and it continues the story of Derek and Eve. This book picks up where Savage Mercy ended so you will need to read the first book before this one if you really want to understand this MC world. As with the first book this one is also fast paced and filled with violence, vengefulness, secrets, murder and death but also love, family and hope, along with a whole lot more.
Derek is still hell bent on revenge for the murder of his family. But now he also wants vengeance on everyone that hurt Eve, who is has fallen for.

I thought the story was solid and carried over from the first book well. There is more depth to Derek and Eve in this book which was nice. However, there were some parts of the book that dragged a bit and could have been edited better to be tighter. There is a cliff-hanger at the end of this book so be warned that if you want to see what happens next then you will have to read the next book, Broken Scars.

I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

Ok read.

I definitely had some issues with this storyline. First I could never figure out where all the members were since this is supposed to be a motorcycle club or gang. Seemed to be just a couple of people that made it into the actual story. No one did backup in taking care of rivals or any actual fighting. That made no sense to me.

Another issue was a gang leader with a price on his head, a family that had been killed by the rival gang, and he was going into enemy territory alone to pick up one of their girls. He would hang around in enemy territory talking and kissing her. Where were the gang members that were supposed to be watching over their property? She lived in one of their houses and an important one as it turned out. Again, this made absolutely no sense to me.

I read some other books between book 1 And 2 so maybe I will eventually read the 3rd book in this series since I already have it. Have definitely been disappointed in these books so far.

So first off, I didn't realize this is book 2 in the series and I did not read book 1 first. The Prologue gives the reader a decent back story which I assume one would get from reading book 1. It is on my list to go back so that I am ready to continue on with this series in the future.
About the book itself. I love reading MC style books and this is a series worth starting and sticking with. This book is all about Derek meeting Eve and how the two have that instant connection but neither one of them are in a spot to commit to the other. Reading Derek and Eve's story was a page turner for me, I loved the twists and turns that these characters encountered throughout the story. I cannot wait to embark the future challenges and joys that this motorcycle club has in store for them.

J.C. Allen & T. Allen are two Authors to watch & read. The Savage Saviors MC is riveting. Should you enjoy gorgeous men on two wheels and a whole lot of steam and drama with your romance, then I encourage you to pick up this series and lose yourself in the forbidden for a while. Derek and Eve are both dealt a horrible hand, but these two amazingly strong willed individuals are going to play it and turn the tide in their favor. This is an opportunity to follow along on a journey of a lifetime and trust that you will be as enraptured as myself with this impressive installment to the series.

I voluntarily requested an advanced reader's copy of Reckless Carnage in exchange for my honest opinion and I highly recommend reading this book as well as the first book in this addictive series.

Carla's Three Star Review

This book begins with Derek preparing to get his revenge on Rock, the sociopathic leader of the Black Falcons. As if that isn't enough to deal with, he finds himself falling for Eve who just so happens to be caught up in a life of forced prostitution at the hands of the very man he is determined to kill. If he wasn't blood thirsty for revenge before, he certainly is now.

Reckless Carnage is a super intense story of revenge, lust, and love, and let me tell you, it packs one heck of an emotional punch! Derek and Eve's story is not one of sunshine and rainbows. These are two broken people who are literally clawing their way to a better (and maybe even happy) future. With the odds stacked against them, will they succeed or are they doomed from the very start?

Buckle up and hang on tight because you are about to take a ride you will never forget!

Derek and Eve

Derek and Eve's story continues where the first book ended. Derek has got to come up with a plan to take Eve away from Rock within a week. This is what he tells Eve to hang in there just a few more days then she will be free. After spending the night with Derek and finding out what it means to be with someone that makes love to her rather then doing it for money she doesn't want to be the whore Rock calls her anymore. She gets beaten for being late by one of Rocks men , when Derek finds out he's not happy. I enjoyed reading this book and can't wait for the next one which involves Eve's Eavel brother Charles . I love reading books by these authors there's angst, emotional, intense situations in the book I recommend this book to be read and give it 41/2 ****

lthough I got the box set of Savage Saviors MC I always do my reviews on the individual books.
It took me a couple of chapters to get into this story, but once I was in, it's where I stayed until I had finished.
Twists, Turns and surprises await you within the pages of this book. Some of the surprises you may see coming where as others you won't. Some surprises are large while others are small, but they are all equally important as each other.
I felt each and everyone of the emotions that the characters went through, I even went through some of them with the character concerned.
Some books I enjoyed more than others
If you are an MC fan out there that hasn't read this series then you should give it a go.

An intense, gripping read of revenge, lust and love. Emotions run high as this action packed and suspenseful read unfolds. I liked Derek and Eve and I felt bad for both of them. This is book two of this series. It focuses on it's own couple but there is a bigger main story that is continuing through the series. I feel you could read this as a standalone, but to get the full picture and enjoyment out of it I recommend reading book one first. A good read and I look forward to book three. This sincere, voluntary review.

The story picks up pace in this book and it's not too long before the brown stiff hits the fan. Derek has regained his will to live and Eve has hope at last.
I enjoyed this book more than the first, although once again grammar raises it's head (reign and rein), just saying. I was all settled for a nice HEA (should know better with a dark romance) and then they dropped that epilogue! Oh how I would love the break Eve's brother's neck, I just hope she doesn't get taken in by him, again. Sadly I think she will and things will head south pretty quickly.

This is the second book in this amazing series, and is Eve and Derek’s turn. This is a well written story which is filled with revenge, action, twists, suspense, intense, lust, and love, which all lead to a gritty, dark, and thrilling read. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I cannot wait to read more from these talented authors’.

The second book in the Savage Saviors MC series a well written story that had me on the edge of my seat. There is suspense, drama, revenge, surprises along the way, a story that flows smoothly from page to page. I would say read these books in order to get the most from them but they can be read as a standalone. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I am voluntarily reviewing an Advance Reader Copy of this book
I have never read anything by J.C.Allen and don't know that I would want to again. After struggling to make it through the first few head scratching chapters, Derek and Eve's story is predictable, one dimensional, and not terribly interesting. Yes, they have both suffered loss, betrayal, and carry baggage. OK, got it, this was repeated OFTEN. It's was a challenge to finish a book, that's not good.

This was a good continuation from the first book. I ended up liking this one a little more as it seemed to have a faster pace. There were twists and turns, drama, suspense, revenge and good chemistry, too that kept me engaged in the story. This does end in a cliffhanger and I'm looking forward to reading book three.

This was a slow build from the beginning but when it picked up the pace … BAM .. It took off like an uncontained wildfire. The plot was intense. I could feel the characters eventually growing into themselves as the storyline progressed with a plethora of emotions. This was a gripping storyline that left just enough at the end leaving you wanting more. A powerful story.

I'm giving this book a total of 3.5 stars because I felt it was a little better than the last book in the series. I felt the story flowed a little better. Now having said that, just because I am giving it a lower review than others doesn't mean the book won't be for you. So please read all reviews and the authors synopsis if that is how you choose your next book.

Eve & Derek

While I liked the concept of the story and had read the first book which was the first part of their story I felt I needed to find out the conclusion. They have a fierce connection but I had a difficult time keeping up with all the extra content in the story. It seemed too much. Not sure I’ll read book 3.

Fast paced

Eve still cannot get Derek out of her head and vice versa. Derek is biding his time to get to Rock but when Eve is hurt the waiting is over. Can't wait until the next book comes out.

I don't care about anyone in this story. it's not well written and a parade of bad decisions after some insta-lust. and the story take 6 books to resolve. I absolutely do not care enough to keep going.
