This series is very good, I am thoroughly enjoying it, and I can't wait for book three.

I am not arguing that.

HOWEVER.

When I think about the fact that, when it's all said and done, I will have paid three cents short of $15.00 for what really amounts to one book, page count-wise, I flinch on the inside.

Every man has one thing that could lead to his downfall. I’ve always been so fucking smug that I didn’t. Until I met her. I should be cursing her, but all I want to do is make her feel the same storm that’s raging inside me. I want her to feel this addiction. Fuck. I want to keep her. And that would be the final nail in my coffin. But not tonight. Tonight, we steal whatever we can get.






I’m starting to realize that I have a thing for all of Meghan March’s sexy alpha males. The same thing happened to me while reading the ”Mount Trilogy”. I didn’t fully start to love the series until I was able to get the Hero’s POV and that’s how I feel after having read book two of the ”Savage Trilogy. Although I will admit I think I love the Hero of this book a lot more than Mount.


This one was full of steam and intrigue. The chemistry between Kane and Temperance is off the charts HOT!



Can't wait to find out how it all ends!!




Here are my overall ratings:


Hero: 5
Heroine: 4
Plot: 4
Angst: 3
Steam: 5
Chemistry Between Hero & Heroine: 5

Oh wow, what an ending!!! Thank goodness I can dive into the final book of the trilogy immediately!!! Again I’m patting myself on the back for waiting for all three books to be out!!!

In this instalment we find out what our hero’s name is and a bit more background on who he is! All I know is that Kane is a major alpha and extremely possessive of Temperance! I loved how their passion ran so hot! There are quite a lot of secrets though and the biggest mystery going on is where is Temperance’s brother? The chase is on to find him, but during the search, the things that are revealed about him are quite surprising to our heroine.

I’m dying to find out what is going to happen in the conclusion... so off I go!!

4.5 STARS

He’s big and forbidden, but somehow, that makes him infinitely more striking. And he’s struck me so hard as to knock me completely off-balance.

Sweet mother of god! I feel like I need a xanax, a hug, and a room with padded walls after that ending. How? HOW?! How does Meghan March continue to come up with these mind blowing cliffhangers? Every time I think it was crazy in one book, the next one comes along and BAM! Head exploding!

I should have signed a damn waiver before reading this book. Warning: cliffhanger may cause early labor. Proceed at your own risk. Swear to gawd! I can't even right now. Can't. Even. The woman is an evil genius. Clearly.

As for this book? Where do I even begin? You fall deeper down the rabbit hole with Temperance and for every answer you get, you're left with ten more questions.

He’s a dangerous man. A man I shouldn’t be drawn to. Shouldn’t want more than I want to breathe right now. But I do. And as much as I want to throw my control at his feet, I hang on to a thread, telling myself it matters.

What I love about Meghan's books is she always creates these extremely tough heroines that are the perfect balance to the immensely intense males that she never fails to hook her readers with. And man oh man, it doesn't get more intense that this man. I thought Mount was dangerously sexy, but this man? He's something else entirely. He's demanding, protective, dangerously lethal, and completely unpredictable. Luckily a good chunk of the story takes place in his POV, and it was one twisted ride being inside his head.

Of course in true Meghan March fashion, it was action packed, suspenseful, and sinfully sexy. And just when you're lulled into a semblance of control in thinking you know what's coming, she hits you with the cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers! So if you'll excuse me, I'm off to console myself with a tub of ice cream as I rock myself in a corner until the final installment in this twisty and addicting trilogy.

I don’t know what to do with my life right now!! Meghan March just blew my mind! This is the absolute best of the series. Just when I think things can't possibly get more interesting in this dark and sensual universe she's created, she amps the ante!! It’s SEXY, EXCITING, and completely stole my breath away!

The situation for Temperance gets even more complicated and I wouldn't have it any other way. The story is multi-layered, sexy as sin, and feels so damn decadent. It's the type of romance that will stay with the reader for a long time to come. Pure Kindle Crack!! And I CANNOT WAIT for my next hit!

‘IRON PRINCESS:’ This is the second book in Meghan March’s ‘Savage Trilogy’ series and needs to be read in order. It picks up right where ‘Savage prince’ left off.
Spoken in ‘Dual Perspectives’

Over the last fifteen years, I’ve convinced myself that no woman walking this earth, except possibly one in my same line of work, could fit into my life or overlook what I do. I definitely shouldn’t be thinking that Temperance could.

In this we finally learn who Kane really is, what he does for a living, where he’s come from, his background, we even get a glimpse into his vast bat cave where he takes Temperance under his protection.



He accepted the contract to kill Temperance’s brother Ransom, for half a million dollars, he only has thirty days to complete this mission before it’s thrown back out for bidders. So the hunt begins.

Her brother is in way over his head, on the run, in hiding with human cargo.

Your brother is a criminal. Who apparently ripped off some very bad people.

A nail biting addictive, intense, sinfully sexy, read that had me eating up the words on every page.

Growing up the way I did, I learned not to want things, because so often they’re torn right from your grasp. That’s why I built the wall and kept people out. But Kane demolished it like a wrecking ball. He made me want things. - Temperance

I inhaled this in record time, devoured it in a matter of hours which quickly moved me to that cliff hanger to end all cliff hangers, that ending was brutal!! Now the waiting game commences for the next book!!

Rogue Royalty - Coming May 22nd!!

     

[Penny Well Reads · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked it.

This time, I gave it one less star because all the mystery and intrigued that we had in the first installment is gone here.

Again, the story has a great pace. But once we learned who Temperance's Stranger really is, I felt let down. I was hoping for something less expected and more exciting. I didn’t see him as much as the hard, impenetrable, hot, badass I was imagining before. So all that appeal disappeared for me.

Temperance doesn’t go through many reflexions this time, so her character basically plateaus in this installment.

Once again the book is cut with no resolution. I still don’t like that this is a tiny trilogy instead of one whole novel.

I was still entertained, just not as invested in the story as I was before, specially since I can clearly see where the book is going. The expected takes the thrill away.

I am moving on to the final installment now.


Savage Prince (Savage Trilogy, #1) - 4 stars
Rogue Royalty (Savage Trilogy, #3) - 3 stars

Great story!



The following ratings are out of 5:
Romance: 💙💛🖤🤍💖
Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📕📗📘📙📔
World building: 🌎🌍🌏🌎
Character development: 👩🏻🧔🏻👩🏻‍🦱🧑🏻‍🦱🧔🏻‍♀️

The heroine: Temperance - her brother is in trouble and dangerous men might use her to get to him.

The Hero(es): Kane/Saxon - he grew up with his mother and stepfather. After becoming and Army sniper, he returned home to find his mother was abused by his stepfather who was a judge. He started working with Lachlan Mount and became a hitman.

The Story: Mount sends Kane to protect Tempi. She stays with him while he tries to come up with a plan to find her brother.

I loved the dual narration by Grace Grant and Joe Arden. Both have the perfect voices for these characters. Joe Arden has a deep gravely voice that is awesome for the filthy dominant hitman. The story was good and the BDSM scenes were incredibly steamy. This was a pretty short book (<200 pages) and the audiobook was only about 4 hours, but I enjoyed it quite a bit.

[Sophia Triad · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book starts with a funeral and finishes with a gun shot.

Everything in-between are distressful situations nonstop. Which is a good thing. Because you cannot stop reading while you think and guess how this mess will be sorted out. Lots of guessing.

Well, now we know things. We will know
 Mysterious Savage's real name
 His profession
 His past
 His motivation for becoming who he is
 His feelings for Temperance

Moreover we will learn about
 Temperance’s unhappy past
 Her brother
 Her sculpture that was sold in the previous book.

What we will not know is who is trustworthy in this book. And who withholds the truth.

“I’m sorry. This was the only way.”

WTF???!!!!???

I have to say that although this is the middle book in a trilogy (usually middle books are just fillers), this book is pretty good. Maybe even better than the first book.

[Coco.V · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 stars - I was rocked by book one in the Savage Trilogy and the second installment took me to a new level of intense ride! There's a huge cliffhanger here and I just can't wait to get my hands on the next book....

"He doesn’t know how long I’ve dreamed of this—a man strong enough to take control and bend me to his will, but masterful enough to make me love every second of my submission. An alpha female only bows to a man strong enough to be worthy of her."

“You need someone to channel your energy. Tell you it’s okay to want more. To show you how to take more. I’m not your jailer, your assistant, or your fucking bodyguard, Temperance. I’m your man, and it’s time to remind you exactly why you want me to be.”

[Hanne · Rating 5 out of 5]

Iron Princess starts where Savage Prince ended. I couldn’t start this book fast enough after the way Savage Prince ended. I needed to know what happened next. I wished I waited a little longer, because the cliffhanger of Iron Princess makes me need the next one right now. I don’t know how Meghan March does it, but each cliffhanger is so unexpected and makes every wait very long. But each book is so worth the wait, and Iron Princess isn’t any different. I loved this one more than Savage Prince. This series is addictive, dark, hot and emotional.

Temperance is just like I remembered her. She’s feisty, independent, talented, kind and strong. She’s perfect for her man. This man, the (anti-)hero.. I’m starting to really like him. I’m super intrigued by him. While I’m starting to get to know him, I can’t wait to know everything about him. He’s strong, mysterious, dark, demanding and protective.

[XxTainaxX Curvy and Nerdy · Rating 5 out of 5]

It’s possible I may be experiencing a book hangover because I couldn’t get enough of this book. Book one gave us a whole lot of sexy. It built up the mystery and established the relationship. Book two builds on the relationship and gives us insight into our mystery hero. However, I’m definitely getting the vibe that there’s so much more to know.

The chemistry between the MCs is explosive. The plot is interesting. The writing and editing on point. I can’t say much without giving it away so I want you to take a chance and experience it for yourself. It’s SO worth it.

The series so far has me hooked and it’s definitely not catch and release. I can’t wait to read the next installment! Please note this is not a standalone and it ends in a cliffhanger. Meghan March is one of few authors I can live with a cliffy for. <3

This probably deserves a 4 star, but this is not a trilogy it's just one kinda long book broken into three arbitrary pieces and because of that it's really annoying me and I'm giving it only 3 stars. I'm not even going to quasi-review this, I'll wait until I actually finish this trilogy long book.

You can't do no wrong with Meghan March's book...

She's on a roll, delivering in this second sequel hawtness, passion and thrill pent up with a final stroke of a cliffy...

where will that final outcome leave Temperance Ransom and the 'forbidden' man she came to care about but who is still unclear of his final actions and plans, her dark and dangerous protector/hit man Kane aka Saxon...we'll hopefully find out in the thitd and final installment!

[Bookgasms Book Blog · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG. I'm Done. And Dead. I swear Meghan March made like Britney and DID IT AGAIN!! But there was no Oops here folks. This woman killed it!!! After that AMAZING and dramatic cliffhanger in book 1 we jump right back into all the shocking twists and turns and awe inspiring moments. I didn't think Savage Prince could be beat but be prepared to get knocked flat on your ass down and out because Iron Princess is here and she's taking ALLLL the names.

Gahh!! This book was everything. What more can I say about a Meghan March book that hasn't already been said? This book is compelling and addicting and just absolutely phenomenal. It is legit Kindle Crack it almost feels illegal. I was overtaken by all the emotions reading it. It was consuming and a one-sitting kind of book because once you start you cannot stop and the passion? Be prepared for blisteringly hot sexytimes that will singe all your fingers flipping the pages.

I loved that in this book we were able to get into the head of the man that has Temperance losing all types of control. We delve into the head of the most delectable man March has ever written to date and see what makes him tick. We see his passion, his anger and the undying truth that Temperance Ransom is his weakness, his exception and his ultimate temptation!! GAHH this story was amazing and sexy and and ALL OF THE THINGS!!

The best part for me was the perfect way March not only progressed the story but also the main characters. I absolutely felt like book one was edgy and super sexy but March was able to not only encapsulate that same feeling in book two but further flesh out her characters by showing us their vulnerabilities and emotions. I felt their deepening feelings for one another, their passion and their regrets. I had goosebumps up and down my arms and honestly that ending?! GOOD GOD!! MINDBLOWING and SHOCKING! Like the author behind this addicting series, this book is a Gamechanger so be prepared for the ride of your life.

Meghan March has a profound and an innate ability to paint a GORGEOUS picture using just her words and the result? A canvas so rich and full of color and beauty that we can't help but feel every emotion. This book was absolutely brilliant and leaves us DYING FOR MORE. Rogue Royalty can not come soon enough! Bravo! 5 (Million) Stars! ~Ratula

****

Okay, it’s been days since I finished Iron Princess and I’m still trying to recover from the book hangover. Seriously. There’s so much going on with Temperance. So many things out of her control.

And it’s freaking awesome.

The thrill of flipping the pages to find out what happens next cannot be topped. I couldn’t read Iron Princess fast enough, and as I steadily approached the end, I had to slow down because I didn’t want it to end. And it doesn’t end. We’re left with another heart-stopping, punch to the gut cliffhanger. And I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Iron Princess is brilliant. Fantastic. Rife with conflict, compelling story telling and amazing wordsmithing. It will keep you captive from the first word through the last page and leave you wanting, needing, dying for more. I cannot wait until Rogue Royalty releases next month and I finally know how this all comes to it’s conclusion. ~ Missy, 5 stars

“You’re sexy as fuck when you’re threatening to end me.”

Can I just say that I absolutely LOVE scrolling through the reviews for IRON PRINCESS! Everyone is so damn excited about it, as they should be. It’s so great that they are experiencing all of the feels that I felt while reading the second book in Meghan March’s Savage Trilogy. Now, after absolutely DEVOURING Savage Prince, I know everyone is ready to get their hands on this. It’s so worth the wait, even if it wasn’t a very long wait. If you are looking for a book or a series that will leave you on the edge of your seat full of passion and suspense, this is IT for you! If you are looking for a romance that will titillate and tease the senses…look no further! This book is everything! These characters are everything! This series is everything! So sit back, relax, and enjoy the hell out of this journey. It’s SCORCHING HOT! It’s EMOTIONAL! It’s EVERYTHING you could ever want in an erotic romance! When Meghan March does it up…she does it up RIGHT! Every. Single. Time.

[Kim · Rating 5 out of 5]

5.5 stars! SPOILER FREE (I am not going to give away his name either. lol)

This begins right after the climax of Savage Prince.

He is an enigma...a hot, intense, secretive, dirty, and dominant man of mystery. And all of a sudden he is more involved in her life that is spinning out of control, and she has no clue what to believe, who to trust, and what to do.

Temperance Ransom is not sure she can trust him, but her choices are limited and he is sent to help her by someone she trusts. She's tough, tenacious, sassy, and smart. She is not afraid to get in the middle of things. And she is also not afraid to push and challenge him.

There is a thin line between anger, lust, love, and hate. They each can really see below the surface of the other person more than most people do. Their pasts have not been easy or normal. Their present lives don't exactly mesh. His character is questionable. She usually cares about being presentable and putting on a put-together facade. In his line of work it is better to be a ghost. But together they are explosive. They have power exchanges, complimentary needs, and a whole lot of chemistry. They are both alpha-like, strong-willed, stubborn, and have some self worth issues. They have walls around their hearts, secrets, and danger surrounding them, and a seemingly impossible mission.

Will they just be short lived comfort while doing a job or long term loves?

This gives us so many answers that I wanted about Savage Prince. But then it adds more twists, surprises, and a-ha moments. I was thoroughly captivated by these two as we got to know more about them and see them connect more. I totally fell for the hero(anti-hero) as his layers were peeled back. Sure he has a reputation and his skills are a bit deadly, but I liked his personality, protectiveness, possessiveness, and heart. And Temperance is such a good feisty compatible match for him.

This is a stand-alone series but I enjoyed more with Mount, Keira, and Magnolia from the Mount trilogy. I loved this dark, gritty side of NOLA and the intensity and dichotomy of the characters. No one is truly perfect--some more bad than good, but most have redeemable qualities. Even dangerous men respond to love too. But the question is can they hold onto it and keep the one they care about safe?

And as expected with a second book in a known trilogy this one definitely leaves you gasping and wanting more as soon as possible. But I actually loved this installment even more than the first one because it let me really connect with the characters and got me so invested in their story. This is intriguing, suspenseful, emotional, sexy, and even humorous at times. It packs a lot in and the characters have growth opportunities, but it also leaves you wondering about some things and wanting to know how it will all turn out. I cannot wait for the last book of this captivating series.

I was gifted a copy from the author.

Before I begin my review, might I just say Meghan March is the queen of gritty,intense and original cliffhangers. I (insert expletive) love her for that. With that being said, Iron Princess is amazing. Amazing isn’t enough as this book was intense, passionate, steamy, sexy, and suspenseful. The storyline kept your hearts palpitating, toes curling and over the top obsessed with the chemistry of her characters. Hands down, Meghan March has truly outdone herself. This trilogy might go down as one of my top reads of 2018!! I can’t wait to see what March has in store in the next book.

So, for those of you who remember the cartoon Ren & Stimpy (God. I know I’m totally dating myself) and that annoying ass song they always played?
The Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy one?
Yeah.
That’s me now and the entire time I was reading this one.
I swear I was even bouncing around a little in my seat.

(Now I sound a little craycray, but…)

This book starts off right where Savage Prince ended and all kinds of goodness follows! I want to go into ALL of it, I do, but the whole ‘cone of silence’ thing is in effect so what can I say??

I already adored Temperance, but this book...I need to figure out what ranks higher than my full on adoration. I mean even girl crush is totally in effect because she pulled out all the stops. And then there is our Smexy AF Alpha male and he is all kinds of book boyfriend nummyness. Hands down. No questions asked. Done deal. And the two of them together?

EVERYTHING.

They already have the smexy as hell thing going on, but now? Now the feels are real...sooo real.

I honestly hate ranking fav couples, especially Meghan March couples, but what I can say is that as of right now they have surpassed Mount and Keira.

Meghan March did it again. She found the words that had me willingly go down the rabbit hole and not want to come out. The feels were real in this one...especially that one part that had me laughing and cringing at the same time...but, I felt them all. And as for that ending...Hmmmm...let’s just say that if Rogue Royalty were to some how find it’s way on to my Kindle today, tomorrow...you know soon, I wouldn’t be upset.

Not. At. All.
