Savage Crown

Forbidden Cruel Italians #3.5

by N.J. Adel

They say a Bratva Princess rose from the dead. She has a bounty on her head.
Two. One alive. One dead.
The money is good, and the Wicked Warriors and I live for that thrill.
Only problem? She's a ghost. A rumor.
Who cares? All I have to do is find a bait that fits the description.

She walks right into my bar. A huntress posing as prey. Unlucky for her, I don't care how hard she fights or lies to make me let her go. I own her soul. I get to decide which bounty to collect.
But there are far more dangerous secrets lying behind those blue eyes, and when she begs me to save her, my options are no longer two.

Deliver her to her family
Deliver her head to her enemy
Give in to my hunger for Anastasia Romanov, the Bratva long lost princess, and keep her my captive forever
Even if it puts a bounty on my own head...

Enjoy the wild ride with the Wicked Warriors MC, Kentucky Chapter, in this Anastasia fairytale retelling.

My first thought when i read that this was a retelling of the story of Anastasia was that i had images of cartoons dancing going through my head. There are no similarities between that and this book at all. A car breaking down and stumbling into a biker bar put Sia (FMC) in between two different bounties put on her head. Leaving her at the mercy of the Pres of the Wicked Warriors MC - Savage. Yes its dark in places as well as really steamy too. Its a great read that i enjoyed reading

This was a great read that sucked me in from the moment that I started reading it. It moves along at a great pace which made for an easy read. Has very interesting characters that you fall in love with and you want to know more about and a story that will not disappoint you. This book is a must read, you will not be sorry that you did.

Anastasia is the Bratva princess with a price on her head. She meets Savage and begs him to help her. Instead of collecting his bounty, Savage wants to protect Anastasia. Such a good read and one I recommend.

4 STARS for Savage Crown by N.J Adel

ARC received from Booksprout and author in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed are my own and have not been influenced in any way.

So much I liked about this book !! Great read ...

Attractive cover is a great visual of Savage
Modern retelling of Anastasia. ( Russian Bratva Princess presumed dead )
Age gap romance
Great characters in Jesse Savage and Sia ( Anastasia ) Romanov
Awesome secondary characters - members of the Wicked Warriors MC
Some interesting plot twists
Sizzling chemistry
HEA

The only reason I have not rated this 5 stars is that Savage Crown left me wanting a little more. If you like Mayans MC & Sons of Anarchy with a “splash” of Russian mafia / Bratva - add to this a modern day re-telling of Anastasia - then this book is definitely for you ! There is also mention of two former characters from one of N.J. Adel's “ The Italian” series ... I just can’t tell you what book !!!

Absolutely loved Jesse and Sia ( aka baby girl ) together - must read !!

Savage Crown is a modern day retelling of the Anastasia tale.
Savage is the president of the Wicked Warriors MC. When his VP tells him that there’s a bounty out on Anastasia Romonov, the Bratva princess with rumours of sightings of her despite the fact she’s supposed to be a ghost, he’s interested in their MC going after it. There are in fact two rewards...$100k from her family, and $200k from an unknown source, one for her her sage return and one for a bullet in her head.
They make a plan to find a lookalike, fake her DNA and claim the $200k. When Sia falls into their hands by her sheer bad luck, they can’t believe their good fortune that all of the rumours could in fact be true.
A fantastic take on a historical fantasy. With a well written plot and interesting characters, this story certainly keeps the pages turning and maintains your vested interest in the ultimate decision of the MC. Excellent.

This was a really good retelling of Anastasia. Savage is the Prez Of the Wicked Warriors MC. He and his club are bounty hunters and they hear of a bounty for the Bratva princess thought to be dead. They are actually two bounties, one for her safe return and the other for her head. There are a few people who could have these bounties set. Sia is on the run when her car breaks down. She ends up in a strip club owned by the WW and she is a dead ringer for the missing/dead princess. There are some differences, her hair color and some other things. Savage takes one look at Sia and there is a connection. He’s not sure if he can kill her. Is she the missing princess or just stuck being at the wrong place at the wrong time? Who set the bounties? One thing for sure, Sia is one feisty strong willed girl who will fight tooth and nail to be free. I am really enjoying these retelling. They are so good.

I totally got engrossed in this story from the very beginning. I like how Savage captured and fell in love with the actual person that his motorcycle club were collecting a bounty on and were possibly planning to kill. As a reader of many of author Adel's stories, I also appreciated how some of the characters of her previous stories were mentioned and had small parts in this story as well. This story was a little bit dark but definitely steamy. The excitement and anticipation I got trying to figure out who put the bounty on Sia's head was great too. I definitely hope that there will be more stories in this series concerning the other members in the MC club besides Savage. I will definitely be checking those out!

Savage Crown: An Anastasia Retelling by N.J. Adel. Disclaimer: I’ve received an advanced copy from the author for an honest review.
Alright, straight out of the gate this story held my attention to the very end. 16% into the novel and I am loving Sia’s internal dialogue. By 64%, she’s my favorite with her epic thoughts. Although a MC version, it holds a closer relationship to the Disney version - which is referenced in the story. This made me snort laugh. The entire storyboard was creative, entertaining and engaging. I immensely enjoyed this writer and kudos are given for making the reading easy. Only a few typos or missing letters that did not deter from the story’s message. Love it and I encourage anyone wanting something sweet and all-heart to read this alternate version of Anastasia Romanov.

Well here we have an mc that seems to be struggling. They come across a bounty that will pay big. The bounty is on a Russian Princess for the mafia. The story is that she went missing. No trace of her and someone wants her back dead or alive. Savage tells the club that they are going to be the ones to find the girl and send her back for the money. Then by chance a lady ends up asking for assistance because her car broke down. However, she is hiding a very big secret. No worries, Savage will find out what those secrets. So we find out the name of the lady, which is Sia. This was very fast paced and it does have steam that is pretty hot too. You will have a lot of action and some betrayal as well. We will wonder what will happen when we get to the end. So it seems like you get a happy for now ending.

When a woman walks into a bar......

Savage Crown is the first book in the Wicked Warriors MC Kentucky Chapter / Wicked Bad Boy Biker MC series. This novella is a wicked good read that starts out fast-paced and never lets off the gas the whole way through. The story is about Jesse Savage and Anastasia "Sia" Romanov. He is the Wicked Warriors MC Kentucky Chapter President and she is a Bratva Princess. When she goes missing and a reward is offered for her return, dead or alive, the MC is ready to take up the hunt as they are bounty hunters. By chance a young woman who's car broke down walks into the clubs bar to ask for help. Can you guess what happens next??? Well hold on because even when you think you can there are some twists and turns added into this entertaining story.
I quite enjoyed this first book in the new series. It is well written, has a very sharp and riveting story-line and great characters. I am so looking forward to this series if the rest are as good as Savage Crown.

Savage Crown is a fast paced MC romance between Savage, the president of the Wicked Warriors in Kentucky, and Sia/Anasthasia, a Bratva princess believed to have been killed but actually is alive and on the run from her pursuers. When two bounties are placed on her head, Savage decides it would be advantageous to find someone who looks like Sia and kill her for the bounty. However, he ends up kidnapping the real Sia and realizes he is attracted to her. This well written book has complex characters and a plot which keeps you on the edge of your seat with secrets, MC action, and sizzling romance.
