I write steamy, emotionally driven contemporary and MC romance, featuring tough-as-nails alpha men who only show their soft side for their person.
My books are packed with dirty talk, detailed sex scenes, and swoony, slow-burn chemistry that explodes. I lean into dark-lite themes, sometimes forbidden tropes, but I always deliver that satisfying, well-earned HEA.
Currently, I’m riding with bikers and bad boys—but one day I’ll be bringing you the dirtiest, most seductive vampire in paranormal romance. If you love intense love stories, broken characters, and men who love hard and fight harder, I’ve got something for you. 🖤
Usually by this time in a series I've lost interest but Ms Theia has kept me reeled in hook, line and sinker and I regret nothing!!! I didn't know I even needed Butcher and Roux until I got to the end of chapter 1 and then I wondered how I ever survived without them. While I think Victoria can do no wrong in her writing, this book is certainly no exception!
Butcher wasn't really on my radar as a character I wanted to know but I feel like I need to apologise to him because there is so much more to this man than what meets the eye. There is nothing about him that I didn't love, his possessiveness, his charm, his dirty, dirty words and the unwavering love and support he has for his woman and his brothers. I legit just want to hug him!!
Roux isn't my favourite heroine and there are parts that are tough and go but for the most part, once I got into her, I found that she was actually kinda cute and quirky in her won way. Also I think she's a little too much like me with the sass, so there's that too..lol.
The story, I'm not going to give it away but I can tell you that you are guaranteed laughing, crying, a bit of drama and some of the most amazing sexy time scenes I've read in a while! I was all up in my feels with this one, even more than I had expected so keep some ice cream on hand! I love romance books and have read thousands but even once in a while a book like this comes along, and reminds me why I enjoy it so much, the poor love that bleeds of the page, I can't even explain how it just warms my heart and leaves me feeling completely euphoric!
The sign of a great author is being able to read every book they have written and every character has their own identity, the plot is always different, even though there is a running underlying theme and even though you don't expect what you going to happen you are always guaranteed to finish a book with a smile and Vic does all those things and so much more. All in all I would say that if you are a V Theia fan than you are in for a great ride and if she's new to you then start at book 1 and fall in love with all these amazing characters now!!
Too many ways to count. It doesn't seem to matter what sub-genre that she writes, I find myself one 100% immersed in the story. Every character becomes real, every emotion that they feel and there are a plethora of them ranging from sadness, to heartbreak, to joy, to happiness. This series, in particular, makes me feel this tenfold.
This book was better than I even expected. From the beginning, each character becomes my favorite. Until, the next book or until Lawless gets his book. This series, with an interconnected backstory, is what made me a fan of MC romance. Every one of them offers something new, gives me a peek of the future after my emotions have run the gamut, and then lets me see a peek into the future. A future, mind you, that doesn't give away anything from the storyline that connects these characters more than just the club or their women. I am in aw how she does that.
Roux (LOVE THIS NAME) and Butcher were the perfect couple. I adored the feistiness of her character and how she was so quick-witted with her Dad and his club (speaking of which, I WOULD LOVE Axle's story or even Reno and Ruin). I also adored how she was allowed to be with Butcher. Not, allowed as in she was given permission, but rather that she got to be worshipped as the center of someone's universe. That isn't to say that her Dad didn't love her, because he did, but I think there were some deep-rooted abandonment issues from her Mom and Butcher tried to change that perception in her eyes. Butcher, sweet LORD, how did this glorious man not have a million women? The answer to that is that he only had Roux on his mind. She was the sun, moon, and all the stars in between them. She was his purpose and his gift from the Heaven's above. The way he loved her? Yeah, that is the way All little girls want to be loved when they are little and picturing their dream man. The steam between these two? HOT. Their bantering back and forth, even hotter, especially when discussing her breaking-in.
I loved seeing the other characters having appearances. More questions still as to what is going on in the background. And that hint of what is to come?!?! YEAH, just get in my hand now. Mama needs that love, right now. ASAP.
I cannot put into words how much I love this series. I cannot recommend this series enough.
Where do I begin with my review? Do I start with how much I love this series? Or how I continuously fall in love with the characters with each book I read? Or how this authors words can literally make me an emotional mess? I knew when I started Butcher and Roux’s story, that I would be invested in them immediately, and I was right! This book is just plain out perfection. The characters will work their way into your heart, your bones, your soul. The depth of emotions that I felt while reading is just unreal. My heart hurt, broke and was put back together.
Roux is a spitfire and the Princess in a rival gang while Butcher is a medic for the Renegade Souls and these two should not be together. But as in life, they were both determined to prove everyone wrong. The chemistry between them is unlike any others and I swear my fingers burned on the pages I turned where they “got together”. The way this author describes her characters, you can actually envision them in your mind, and let me just say, they are both hot, hot, hot!
I’m a lover of MC stories, and have read many by other authors, but this author has made me fall in love with all her characters, her stories, the sprinkling of others she puts in, and just proves each and every time how I am in complete awe of her. All I can say, is read this entire series, read about Butcher and Roux, and prepare yourself for the ending in this book. Utterly mind blowing.
This forbidden romance utterly consumed my every emotion, my every thought and my heart. Butcher isn't a fighter. He's a healer. His gruff, alpha protective personality is only for one woman. Roux is a sassy, independent and strong-minded woman who completely melts when he's around. These two are perfectly matched. Their insatiable appetite for one another practically sizzles the pages of this book. They fight against unimaginable odds and unknown threats in their dance to be each other's one and only. Will their clubs ever let them unite or are they destined to never be? Can they overcome the obstacles in their paths and find a clear way to one another? Their story will utterly consume you as well.
Ohhhhh one of my fave tropes. How can the beloved and protected princess from a rival MC fall for the medic of the infamous renegade souls? It feels impossible. Butcher would be killed if he had a relationship with Roux but it doesn't stop them. we knew what happened with them years ago, how he nearly died for her, but what the reader never knew throughout this series with the small glimpses we got of The Butcher was he'd never ended his secret love affair with his rocker chick.
OMG. Poor Arson. I'm dying for his book. His story has been subtly hinted at through the series and now it's coming to a head and my heart is breaking!!!
Tag!!! What happened had my breath stopping, his future has drastically changed and I'm here for it if who I think is his heroine is going to do what she's planning. vague I know, but I'm excited for it!! this author gives couples we don't expect, two people who shouldn't be together but wholly suit each other.
eagerly awaiting the next!! I fall again and again for this series and I have no regrets. Best MC ever.
I had to write this review immediately while my feelings are heightened!! OMFG. When you think a series can't get better than it already is, Theia says 'hold my beer' The Butcher loved an impossible MC Princess. Almost died for loving her and still these two can't keep apart. They're with only each other in a 4 year span... so RARE for a biker to be loyal and celibate ( all the renegade souls boys are loyal to only their ladies btw ) This book has passion out the WAZOO! Love that sizzles and emotion that sucked me in from the get-go. This author is skilled in not only making the couple forefront of the story but able to weave in catch ups about the past couples and also give teases to future books. I was hanging on to every word about Tag, Arson. And even the possibility of a new MC series with Axel's crew. I'll say now, I need RUIN's book, thank you and please!!
Butcher now rivals my Hawk as #1. If you thought Reaper and Paige's love was epic, then read Butcher and Roux. A love so big is worth waiting for. This pair more than proved it.
Butcher and Roux are everything you want from a MC romance. At its core is a lot of heart. These two love so deeply and forever. The epilogue was delicious, and exciting!! More please.
Amazon says 'tell us what you like about this book'. Actually, it's easier to say what I didn't like about this book. So here goes..................................................
Ok. So that's the bad stuff over and done with, now the good bits. This ranks up there as one of my favourite #RS books. Prez and Icy is still top of the list, but this one is climbing into my top three.
Roux and Butcher have a love for each other that is, technically, forbidden. He's a member of one club, The Renegade Souls, shes a member of another, The Diablo Disciples. The clubs dont like each other much, not a huge deal, but here comes the kicker..... she's the daughter of the Diablo's President.
Roux and Butcher met when 'he ran into her car'. You so need to read this to get the joke here. It was insta-lust and the beginning of a long distance, non contact, well almost non contact, twice over four years, love affair.
For Butcher, it was always going to be her. Hell, he was beaten nearly to death for her. For Roux, it was always going to be him. Hell, she was ready to defy her whole club for him.
Gahhhhh!!!!! I cant say too much more. Spoilers don't you know!!!
But trust me, if you've read the other Renegade Souls books, you know that this one doesn't disappoint.
5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I always like to write my review as soon as I've finished the book because the emotions are so raw.
I have so many feelings running around me at the moment, I can barely breathe. For the first time, I'm finding it difficult not to tick the spoiler button because I just want to tell you all the amazing things Butcher and Roux do for each other, to make them work.
Theirs isn't the easiest relationship. Outside issues mean it shouldn't work, but hell do they fight for each other to make sure it does. It's awe inspiring. Club dynamics between two clubs, she's strong willed, her father nearly killed him. Yet he somehow turns into the biggest alpha I've ever read (who knew!!!). Roux keeps her sass, but finds her soft (again, who knew!). Yeah, there were things to overcome. But Butcher and Roux join together to make it work. They are a formidable force.
Every time I read one of V's books, I think she's given me every emotion I can possibly feel, but then she writes something else and I realise how wrong I was, and how pleased I am to be proved wrong. Thank you for Butcher and Roux...
This series continues to never disappoint me. Savage Outlaw is a book eight in the Renegade Souls MC series and is Butcher and Roux's story. Being from different MC's makes their love a forbidden love but that does not stop these two. I can't wait to see who's story is next.
Hot Damn, she did it again! Another great MC read. The series continues with Roux and his desire for the rival MC's princess. A forbidden romance and an MC all wrapped up in one great, steamy story.
This woman is pure writing genius and I have never said that of anyone . She has a way to telling stories but each one is interconnected and not just in series but every single one of her books, no matter where they are set, are interconnected with all of the others . It’s truly amazing . For this book Butcher, the Mc medic, and Roux, the rival Mc’s princess finally get a HEA to their forbidden relationship. Butcher was a possessive freak as V Theia puts it, and I loved it, and Roux was one badass biker princess ! I couldn’t get enough of these two and that epilogue made my heart swoon . This book and all of the books by this author have so many layers and dimensions that I could keep writing on and on about them . I say this about every book by V but Butcher and Roux are now my favorite couple and each book gets better and better . Don’t miss this series ! It’s one of my favorites ever!
This MC Romance brought all the feels. When Thaddeus Savage "Butcher" of The Renegade Souls MC meets Roux Tucker "MC Princess" of The Diablo Disciples a rival club. They both Wanted, Needed, Craved eachother, but they couldn't persue a relationship without starting a war between club's. This was another great couple added to this series . I'm ready for Volume 9.
OBSESSION- an idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person's mind.
There is no word or definition that is more perfect for Savage Outlaw than the one above. Tad and Roux were truly obsessed with each other. They had met at a time in her life when a real relationship was not possible for many reasons, but the obsession remained. ❤️🔥❤️
***** cue the music because enough is enough ******
What do you get when a medic from a rival MC decides he is going to claim his biker princess? You get a wild and vivid love story for the ages. It will not be easy nor smooth. There will be drama, a murder, fights, break ins, misunderstandings and LOVE. The love is the best part. This is a man who will go to the ends of the earth for his woman and this is a woman who knows exactly what she wants and is not afraid to ask for it. There is no coy "I want you but don't want to let you know" bull crap here. There is, however, some logistics that need to be worked out for these 2 lovers.
What is that saying, "the devil is in the detail" quote? YES, Yes and yes but the details of this love affair elevate it to one of my top MC reads of the year. This author has a gift for detail, dropping crumbs about other books, blending worlds and making the reading experience magic. She's a one click writer for me and I wait with bated breath for her next books. Savage Outlaw is part of the Renegade Souls MC series and while it is a complete start to finish stand alone, you will love it even more if you read the series. I highly recommend this book.
I didn't know I needed Butcher's story until it was delivered spectacularly on every page. Forbidden love, two characters unable to be together but can't help the pull to one another is a FAVE trope and ohhhh did V. Theia put everything into their passion! We got a hint of Butcher's crime a few books back when it was told he'd slept with the daughter of a rival Prez and got battered almost to death for it. We did not know their illicit affair hadn't stopped. Oh the delicious scandal.
Roux is amazing, seriously, one of my fave heroines, not just from this series but all time. She's a ballbuster but she does it in such a way she's not masculine. I love her soft center and the love she has for Butcher and her father. There was no pretense or games with her, she said what she meant and said what she wanted. It was so refreshing. The obstacles to their love was SO GOOD!! I was chewing my lip throughout.
Some of my fave scenes were between butcher and Axel. Such a damn good MC book. And a fantastic addition to the renegade souls mc. A must read. Axel is pretty badass but loves his daughter so much and was willing to do anything for her. As a sidenote I loved how the baddie this book was a badass female!! Yeahhhh!!
“It was a brotherhood. A connection to something more than the air and the dust.”
That’s what the renegade souls series is. From the first book to this. You are egger for each story. How this world unfolds. And V. Theia never disappoints.
Butcher is the man to call if you are ever in trouble. And Roux is the girl getting you in trouble. A modern day Romeo and Juliet. Two souls meant for one another will find a way.
I love how Tad loves his women just as she is. All V. Theia males do. They never try to change them. And for that there is always a strong heroine. Roux is that strong heroine. The author always gives us twists like none other and masterfully puts all the pieces back together and still has you wanting more.
“Savage by name....but all sweetheart.”
The sweetest love story. Tad and Roux show us how love is supposed to look like. All or nothing, no conditions and to love every part of your partner.
Tad and Roux belong to different MC's. Roux's father doesn't want her with Tad, a Renegade Soul and does his best to keep them apart. Four years and a lot of forbidden trysts, when Tad has had enough and decides it's time to claim the only woman he's ever loved. Neither club is happy about the union, however they must learn to accept it or lose the ones they love. How will two MC's find a way to get along without enciting a war? Will the fight for Roux and Tad to be together be worth it in the long run?
I love the Renegade Souls series by Ms. Theia. I love that with each book we get updates on the previous couples and find out a little more with each story. If you haven't started this series...why not?
I love the Renegade Souls MC series. The storyline and characters are always so intriguing. Butcher and Roux's story was no exception. I love forbidden romance and MC in one story, and Theia's heroes never disappoints.
Roux is the daughter of the rival MC. She is fierce, soft, strong and confident. Butcher is just as dreamy as the other men in this series. His love for Roux burned so bright. He is so possessive and protective of her. They are not suppose to be with each other. But the heart wants what it wants. Their chemistry was amazing. I loved their private banter. I really loved them together.
"It’s always you and me."
I have so many characters I love reading about in this series. Hawk and his baby girl always put a smile on my face.
Awesome book and an especially fantastic female lead. Roux is exactly the type of heroine I prefer in a book - strong, sassy, unique, and kicka$$ in her own way. The love story between her and Butcher is beautiful and sad. I loved seeing their connections with their own clubs, and you could see how much it killed both of them to be apart AND to try to do right by each MC club. There’s some cartel drama thrown in and lots of angst. The chemistry is off the charts in this book, and the heat and love fairly catapults off the pages. This is easily a five star read. I can’t wait for more.
Roux is a strong, character. Brilliant. Whose very want would normally start a war. Butcher loves his girl beyond anything and would give the sun and the moon.
Definately one of the best mc series out there, and a brilliant tease to include the Manhatton series.
I love how the previous brothers maintain their characters within this book. 1000% recommend any of V Theias books
Forbidden love, MCs, and super hotness of Tad! He and Roux are definitely interesting together. There is a decent amount of Arsen thrown into the story, and boy do I want to fix him! Good read and can’t wait until the next story!
So amazing I absolutely love this story…V did it again. I didn’t know much about Butcher and totally didn’t expect him to have his book, but I kind of figure it out from the last book. All I can say is Savage Outlaw is one of the best in the series. I know I say this for every book in the series, but it is what it is—each book keeps getting better and better…Everything V. Theia writes is pure magic. She takes story telling to a new level of greatness and enjoyment. Butcher and Roux are the perfect couple and this is another epic love story. There was so much chemistry between the two characters which will leave you hot and bothered throughout the book. They complement each other so well—two very strong characters. By far, Roux is my favorite heroine in the series or any other female character V has ever created, and that is saying a lot because she has created some amazing female characters. We met some side characters that I would love to read their story. I didn’t get to see Lawless in this one, but his name was mentioned many times and that was good enough for me. 😊. Thanks V. Theia for this winning series! If you haven’t started this series yet, start today you won’t be disappointed!!!
Why is Axel so eager to have Roux marry Reno? Inquiring minds want to know. (Revealed later in the book and it’s not that exciting)
Chapter 21 - (Roux) Oh, fuck. She’d never been on Renegade Souls property before.
Chapter 4 - Roux: ”Where is this garage?" Butcher: “Not far, the Renegade Souls compound.” (They drop off her Jeep to be fixed by Preacher) She wasn’t hesitant when he ushered her into the clubhouse first. Roux: “Do you have your own room around here?”
The point being that Roux has been at the Renegade Souls complex before and its where she had sex with Butcher when she was 17.
Pretty much the same plot as the previous books. The only difference was Roux was the daughter of the president of a different club. The bad guys were the Mexican cartel instead of the Russians. She gets pregnant which seems to be the norm. Even Luxe joins the bandwagon. Really? Can’t they have fulfillment without popping out babies?
Arson is succumbing to alcoholism. Tag is still cage fighting. If you had an inkling he was attracted to one of the Russian women they rescued from the porn movie site, you would be right.
Another great book in this biker series. Again, more complex characters that I thought I would not like in the beginning, then a few chapters in and I am liking them before I know it.
Roux is a typical biker girl in the way she acts and dresses. Tad/Butcher has loved her for years. The only problem is they are from different MC clubs. She is the princess of hers and biker law says clubs don't mix.
I am full of admiration at how this author's imagination keeps extending and giving. When I pick up the next in the series I think to myself how is she going to think up something completely different, but she always does.
For me, the success of these stories is partly to do with the continuous appearances of previous characters from the former books and how they still have key interaction with each other; not as just backdrops. The humour, camaraderie and respect they have for each other is the glue that blend it all together. I shall be sorry when I have read the very last one in the series.
I loved it! Love these dirty bikers I really do I never want to leave Colorado I’m already waiting for biker number 9 hope it’s not too long Butcher and Roux were an amazing couple I loved how he loved her oh and the kids!! Oh my heart I can’t take it I hope we get a next Gen and coco is a souls princess
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I could not love Butcher and Roux more.😍 He's a alpha bada$$ with a forgiving spirit and a gentle spirit. His internal musings and dialogue are hysterical!! Roux reminds me so much of my own daughter that I cried sometimes. I'm an emotional reader though.😊 Their story is filled with romance, action, love and a fantastic baked goods reference.❤
4.5 stars. This is probably the best book in the series so far, most of the editing problems have been resolved and the writing has improved exponentially since the series began. Entertaining with both emotional and humorous vibes. Really found I liked the characters and they continued to develop throughout the book.
I loved this book!! Roux and Tad overcame a lot to be together and make it work!! I love all the Souls books!! They just keep getting better! I loved the glimpse onto the Diablos too and hope we get their stories!!
