My Review
Review by: Melanie
(4 stars)
I've been looking forward to reading Savage Fire since the moment I finished Savage Stalker.
Again though, like with Book One, Savage Fire didn't really have much to do with the MC exactly. It was because of one member of the MC that this story even happened, but other than that it was mainly the story of Emily Reynolds; MC President Dane's sister, and Salvatore Agostino, a mob style man, high up in the Abruzzi crime family, sent to meet with the Savage Angels, and how they ended up becoming part of each others lives.

I liked Emily from the start. Understandably, after where life had led her, she was a little broken and awkward and just plain hurt. Her brother had appeared to abandon her when she was a child, her father was an arse who, despite his attitude, she felt the need to care for. After her father dies she ends up taking a journey of misadventure to find her brother Dane.
Following a few unfortunate run ins, all of which Salvatore witnessed in some way or another; seriously, this girl needed to be wrapped in bubble wrap or something she had such bad luck! Sal ends up being the hero of the hour after Emily finds herself in yet another scrape, and gives her a ride to Tourmaline, home of the Savage Angels MC.
I don't want to say much else, for fear of spoilers, so I'll just sum up. I enjoyed the story, I liked the characters; it was nice seeing the members I loved from Book One again, and meeting new characters too. Even though written from many POV's I found it all very easy to follow, but I did however find quite a few editing mistakes. Non of them took away from the story for me at all, but they were quite noticeable. I also found a few sections of the book a little jerky in the writing.
I love Kathleen Kelly though and am looking forward to reading Savage Town when it comes out later this year.

Excerpt
I am completely overwhelmed. My core is on fire and I want so much to kiss him, to touch him. I feel sparks of electricity shoot through every fiber in my body and every nerve ending is screaming for release. I want his hands on me, all over me.
“Amare?”
I put my hands on his chest and push him away. He’s too close, making it hard to form a single thought. I take two steps to the side to put some distance between us so I can speak like a human, not a lust induced zombie. “Yes, they towed my car and it’s in their lot. I haven’t really spoken to them about it yet. I kind of fell asleep on them…”
His face clouds over and he says, “You kind of fell asleep on them? What. Does. That. Mean?” He pauses between each word and growls them at me.
“Jonas took me to see Doc Jordan and he gave me something for the pain, but because I hadn’t slept in days it made me sleepy. I think he ended up carrying me to their clubhouse.” I realize how all this must sound. If someone told me that exact same story, I would be thinking the worst.
“Did they touch you, Amare?” he growls at me, his eyes blazing with anger.
“No, no, no! In fact, Jonas put a guard on my door so no one would go near me. Not that they would. I was safe, Sal.” Something crosses his face and he stares at me so intently that I look away and stare at the floor. He moves back into my space and lifts my head up. “Thank you for getting me coffee. Let’s go have breakfast and I’m buying. I think I shall keep you in my sights to make sure nothing else happens to you. I have never met a woman who allows herself to get into so many dangerous situations, in such a short space in time. You, my Amare, are a handful.” He moves away from me and does up his shirt, then grabs his jacket. He opens the door to his room and extends his arm. “Shall we?” he asks, offering me a smile that reveals his dimple. My core clenches again and I have to fight the urge to throw myself at him.
