Ruthless Kings MC: Las Vegas #0.5-4
Ruthless Kings MC: Volume 1
What would you do for the one you love?
If the answer is anything, then maybe you have what it takes.
The men of the Ruthless Kings have to conquer their past in order to have a future.
Life is a fight to death or salvation.
No matter what, hands will get filthy and blood will be split.
Love is a weakness.
Yet once they get a taste, they realize it’s the strength they need to survive.
Agony.
Fear.
Desperation.
Sometimes, tears.
They risk it all in order to save the ones they love. Their strength is pushed to the limits, along with their confidence and sanity.
Each member has their own painful journey to get to happiness, a foreign place none of them are familiar with.
Real issues deserve real torment.
Not everyone’s future is paved in gold, not when the road is damned.
The Kings will give you one hell of a Ruthless ride by dragging you across nails only to rip your heart out.

REAPER’S RISE reveals some of the background and relationship history between Reaper and Jenkins, and the arrival of Jenkins’ sister Sarah, a seventeen year old girl who has set her sights on the ultimate prize. The premise is dark and raw; the characters are colorful and bold.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Reaper and Sarah) REAPER’S RISE follows in the aftermath of the murder of MC vice president Hawk, and the club’s newest acquisition in the form of Hawk’s ten year old son Jenkins. Jenkins struggles in the years following his father’s death but on the eve of his eighteenth birthday, a bruised and battered young woman, comes looking for help from the Ruthless Kings MC. A shocking revelation, and a brutal need for revenge push Jenkins over the edge, as the Ruthless Kings, and Reaper stand by his side.
••••••••••
REAPER is a story of family, friendships, duty and love; betrayal and vengeance. The premise is dark and gritty; the characters are dynamic; the romance is seductive and intense.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Sarah and Reaper) REAPER follows the building relationship between thirty-eight year old, club president Reaper, and soon to be eighteen year old, Sarah. Approximately eight years earlier, Reaper’s best friends and club VP Hawk was murdered, and in the ensuing aftermath Reaper raised Hawk’s son Jenkins aka Boomer like his own. Fast forward six years and Reaper would come face to face with his future in the guise of a bruised and battered young woman, Sarah, a young woman that would ultimately control his heart. What ensues is the back and forth, sexual frustration and palpable attraction between Sarah and Reaper, an attraction forbidden until Sarah becomes of age.
••••••••
BOOMER is a story of struggle, mental illness, family and love. The premise is engaging, raw and gritty; the romance is steamy and seductive; the characters are energetic, charismatic, dangerous and some-times…fun.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Boomer and Scarlett) BOOMER follows in the aftermath of Boomer’s struggle to fit into the MC. Years after his father was killed, our hero continued to battle the demons from his past. Unable to accept that he is worthy of the friendship and love of the Ruthless Kings MC, Boomer walks away, leaving the Vegas chapter behind, landing himself in Atlantic City, New Jersey but all does not go according to plan when Boomer finds himself pulled back into the lifestyle when he discovers a battered and bruised young woman who reveals there are more women held captive at the local club. Enter Scarlett Rose, the woman with whom Boomer will fall in love. What ensues is the rescue and building relationship between Scarlett and Boomer, and the potential fall-out when Scarlett discovers the truth about Boomer and his connections to the Ruthless Kings MC.
••••••••
TOOL is a dark, gritty and graphic story line of abuse, betrayal, vengeance and death. The premise is engaging, dramatic and entertaining; the characters are brash, strong, and merciless; the romance is enthusiastic and passionate. TOOL is perfect for fans of dark, romantic, gritty MCs.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Tool and Juliette) TOOL follows the building relationship between Ruthless Kings club VP Logan ‘Tool’ McGraw, and twenty-five year old, sales clerk /singer Juliette Johnson. At the age of fifteen Logan McGraw killed his father to protect his mother, and in the aftermath found himself prospecting for the Ruthless Kings MC. Fast forward to present day wherein Logan aka ‘Tool’ meets twenty five year old Juliette Johnson, the woman who would one day own his heart but claiming Juliette as his own has been forbidden by the MC president, for Juliette is the only daughter of the dirty Sheriff of Las Vegas Derek Johnson. Unable to stay away from our story line heroine, Tool must face punishment for going against the Ruthless Kings MC but his interest in Juliette places her in the direct line of fire when a local underground fighting ring claim Juliette as the ultimate prize. What ensues is the forbidden romance and relationship between Juliette and Tool, and the potential fall-out as Logan and the Ruthless Kings MC continue to be targeted for sins of the past.

Ruthless MC Boxset, Rough, Raw, Real
This series helped me during my own healing process. Thank you KL Savage for helping me heal through your books. I will be forever grateful!
It's rough, raw, real. Not some fluffy bs!
Each one, has their own hell that they fight to deal with daily, and over come. Each book, continues to draw you in. While each book focuses on one couple, you really get to know each MC member. You will not be scratching your head trying to figure out where the hell that character came from.
Warning: Reaper is an age gap- but it's not exactly what you expect.
Through it all, Reaper, Booms, Tool and Poodle, treat their women with respect. I fell in love with each of them more and more as the series continued. Can't wait for the rest of the MC's stories.

The RUTHLESS KINGS MC have made such an impact on me that to go back to where it all began with REAPER was such an honor and I don't take lightly. These men give me all the good vibes and send me off to sleep with a smile on my face. After I've shed a few tears along the way.
Each of these characters have scratched, clawed, broke and bleed for their happy endings. Not to take that for granted - they are so fierce and protective of their fellow brothers and the women who brought the light from the dark.
These are sometimes hard to finish and the situations within are rough but they deserve to be on your reader, read and cherished after all the darkness they had to endure.
Imo the BEST MC ROMANCE series I've ever read and believe me, I've read thousands and thousands of books. I received an ARC for an honest and voluntarily review.

This is the first 5 books of K.L. Savage books all in combined into one book that has amazing characters that are these type alpha males, rough tough and sexy bikers men in the following five books (Reaper's Rise, Reaper, Boomer, Tool, Poodle) who all have their own complications and anxieties, situations, back stories and traumatic lives and lose that i feel made the Ruthless Kings more interesting characters to read about as well as the women who love them and who have their own problems too, but always have there Kings backs and have faced there own struggles and demons. Some books in this box set are darker and more intense than others but each book shows you there a family of bikers that have each others backs and genuinely care about one another and the families they love and have made as a whole. The Ruthless Kings are a solid family that are so diverse and are like a whole heart that beat on one accord. I have loved them since book one and plan to follow them throughout to the end, these books are full of love, hate, revenge, full of twists and turns and show you the past and present lives of each Ruthless King and the women they have come to love and what they went through to get to being in each other lives. Reaper finds Sara , Boomer finds Scarlett, Tool finds Juliette, Poodle finds Melissa....

~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review~~~~~~~~~~
This actually the first 5 books in the series with Reapers Rise being the prequel that shows how the Ruthless Kings MC started. Then you get to meet all the crazy hot alpha bikers and the women they love in Reaper, Boomer, Tool and Poodle. The fantastic thing is you get all of them in this special edition. I love this series so much and have read all of it, as soon as I am able to get my hands on one I devour it. The men are strong characters with pasts they are all fighting with. The women have to be equally strong to become a Ruthless Queen. I highly recommend this book as a start of this amazing stories. I know I am hooked and I hope you will love it as much as I did. Don't be afraid K. L. Savage just wants to rip your hear out the Ruthless Kings way.

Love each and every book in this collection
I picked this collection up to read Tool and Poodle's stories specifically because I had already read the first two.
Tool and Juliette: Juliette is the sheriff's daughter and Tool's been warned to stay away from her.
But she is it for him, old lady material and when she taken he'll stop at nothing to get her back.
Poodle and Melissa: His backstory was interesting and to see how that shaped him in the present was a little shocking. Nothing in any of the other books ever portrayed him as anything other than the guy who loved his dog.

Five books that feature rough, sexy bikers (Reaper, Boomer, Tool and Poodle) who all have their own complications and anxieties which i think make them more interesting characters. As well as the women who love them & who have their own problems too. Some books in this box set are darker than others but at the heart of each book is a family of bikers that each have each others backs and genuinely care about one another. I totally loved these bikers and their individual stories. I cant wait to get my hands one the rest of them

Awesome!
It was awesome to read these books as a limited series, all in one go. It made it so much easier to connect with the characters and invest in their lives. Reaper was pretty irritating at first but he eventually redeemed himself. I’m still not a Boomer fan. I’m hoping another book comes out that brings more maturity to his character. Tool and Poodle were amazing! I’d read their stories more than once. This is different from your typical MC book and that’s what makes it amazing! All in all - highly recommended.

I'm so glad I started this series. Mc wasn't one of my first choices. I haven't read many of them but now that I've read ruthless kings it has changed my opinion. Other Mc series are gonna have a hard time comparing. I read all the books in a week and I am waiting for Knives book next. K.L. Savage is very talented at writing. Each and every character draws you in and makes you fall in love. I can't wait to see where she goes with another series. Must read series!

I feel hard for these guys and so will you. This series is sooo addicting you will not be able to stop with just one book. Each story pulls you into their world and you will not want to leave. Love, danger, excitement, drama, intense, intrigue, nail biting, head spinning amazing, crazy chemistry and oh so steamy.

First Ride books 1-4
Amazing! I love all of the bada** men that make up the Ruthless Kings and of course the strong willed women who put up with their antics! I can't wait to keep on reading and seeing what else is going to happen with the rest of the MC Brothers. I definitely recommend this book and the rest of the series as well.

Great short stories with likable characters and steamy scenes!
The Ruthless Kings world is one that I love being immersed in! The characters are great and each story has an interesting plot with steamy scenes. So HOT! Enjoy how the chapters switch character points of view between the two main characters as the story progresses.

Top stories!
I've only read books 1-4 so far but HAVE to read the rest of the series. Brilliant!
The victim in each story finally gets the justice they deserve. The characters are well written and you get to know them and kinda feel their pain but relish when they get their justice.
Now to read book 5 and onwards ...

Great read, amazing series and the characters are well developed. Love all of them but I still stand on Reaper being my top fave man in this boxset, I've reread these books a lot and it's a very recommendable series.

I love the writing by K.L. Savage. All the Ruthless Kings love and protect to extremes, but it is all from the bottom of their hearts. These are a must-read. You won't be disappointed.

I’m totally hooked on the Ruthless Kings MC Series. These characters have been through the worse of the worse and have somehow managed to find a little light in their lives in each other and in the brotherhood.
