Incandescent ~ Synopsis
Phoenix ‘Nix’ Knight thought pulling his club out of the illegal shit his Pops got them into was difficult.
Until he meets Kadence.
Kadence Turner has no business lusting over a student’s father, especially the president of the Knights Rebels MC. Nix is crass, obnoxious and dangerously sexy and for some reason, Kadence can’t seem to hate him for it. The bossy biker breaks down her defenses, but unlike the old Kadence, the woman she is today won’t give in without a fight.
The tension is undeniable, the attraction fierce. A man that wants what he wants and a woman that will fight him every step of the way.
Resting the cold beer between my legs to soothe the ache, the boys give me shit for striking out. I feel the same way: the woman is a tough nut to crack.
“You ready for round two, Prez?” Beau smirks behind his beer. Turning my head, I watch as Kadence storms over. I groan as my broken dick comes to life, apparently not caught up with the news that she doesn’t like him. She stands at the end of the table, arms crossed over her chest, unaware that her position puts her sexy tits up on display.
Fuck, this woman is a tease.
“Hey, sweetheart,” I say before taking a sip of my beer.
“Don’t sweetheart me. What did you say to my date?” she snaps, anger clear on her face, and I’ve never seen a more beautiful look on her. Her eyes blaze with fire and the need to push her more fills me. I can’t wait to have her under me.
“Oh, the stiff?” I ask nonchalantly. “Just told him to run along; he didn’t have what it takes to play with the big boys,” I say as some of the brothers laugh into their drinks.
I’ve never pushed a woman this far before; chasing her and teasing her feels so damn good. Something about her pushes my buttons and leaves me wanting more. Most women fall at my feet begging to get in, but Kadence? No, this woman makes me want to do the begging. I’ve never wanted to fuck a woman so hard while spanking her ass at the same time. The way she reacts to me makes my dick hard and God help me, getting her riled up is a sight to see. I can see it in her eyes; she’s fighting it. She wants me and I intend to give the lady what she wants.
“What do you want, Phoenix?” she demands, uncrossing her arms and assuming a relaxed position, but I’m not stupid. The woman is crazy mad and I’ve got a throbbing dick to prove it.
“What do I want?” I repeat her question, pausing to take another pull on my beer. “Well, after your little stunt in the bathroom, I wanna pull you down on this table and spank your ass,” I tell her calmly. Even though my balls are aching, my cock is pulsing.
“You disgust me,” she hisses and turns to walk away. I grab onto her hand, turning her my way. She tries to pull out of my grasp, but my hold on her is strong.
“You don’t mean that. I’ve seen the way your eyes flash. You would love for me to spank that sexy ass right here for everyone to see. Wouldn’t you?” Embarrassment floods her cheeks, and for a beat, I think I might have pushed her too far.
BLP REVIEW ~ REBECCA
‘Incandescent’ is one of the softer style MC books featuring the Knights Rebels MC who are the good guys. Nix is just divine if you enjoy dirty talking, possessive, alpha males with attitude and a bike, what’s that I hear? Of course, it’s all the panties dropping!! His smirk, dirty talking and pretty much anything Nix I enjoyed. The way he deals with his son and with Kadence’s issues (no spoilers, so no specifics!) is reminiscent of a KA alpha and as long as it’s done well I always have space in my shelves for another book boyfriend of this type.
“Give me one good reason I shouldn’t take you over my fuckin’ knee right now?” His breath comes to my ear. My body is instantly turned on by his dirty words.
“Nix-“I begin, but he cuts me off.
“Don’t Kadence. It’s bad enough that you’re in my arms wearin’ this dress with those sexy fuckin’ heels after not havin’ you for five fuckin’ days, but that you let that guy touch you, touch what’s mine?”
Kadence’s first impression of Nix is that he’s rude, crass and obnoxious, also as he is the father of a student then off limits. even if their chemistry could overlook his personality!
”I’ve know the man for all of five minutes and I can honestly say he infuriates me. Infuriates me and makes me think of things I shouldn’t be thinking about, especially about a student’s dad.”
As the book progresses and they come into contact more then their relationship changes and develops with a sweetness to it that, combined with the hot factor, had me finishing this in one hit and thoroughly enjoying it. With her issues from past experiences Nix has his work cut out for him but the writing is good so gets you invested in the characters and rooting for them.
”You bossed me into dating you. Fucked me good, and then you wouldn’t leave me alone. Now you’re stuck with me.”
^^^^^^ Yep this is why I want a Nix for myself!
The banter between characters is a huge draw, funny, teasing, rude, sweet or dirty it’s all outstanding.
The secondary cast is strong, particularly Holly and Jesse, both I want more of.
As a debut it was a solid one and I thoroughly enjoyed it, in fact devoured it!

Release Date: November 30, 2014
Affliction ~ Synopsis
Three little words are all it takes to rip his world apart. Lost in his own affliction, Sy has been living in a darkness that he doesn’t ever want to let go of.
Until she arrives and shines her light so bright that nothing else mattered.
She was only in it for the chase, for the thrill of capturing the unattainable.
But what happens when her world shatters around her, spiraling her into the darkness beside him?
Can his affliction be her resurrection?
Or will two lost souls living in the depths of deception let it destroy them?
AFFLICTION ~ EXCERPT
“What the fuck are you doing in my club?” he asks again, moving his body closer.
“Your club?” I ask, raising my brow. “Last time I checked, I came here with my best friend, not to see you, so if you’ll excuse me,” I say, trying to push off the wall, but he steps right in, his knee coming between my legs.
“You gonna fuck him?” he growls, his eyes growing angrier by the second.
“Maybe,” I tell him, knowing he’s talking about Jesse. “I wonder if he will leave me standing naked after a quick fuck up against the wall,” I continue. His hold on me gets tighter. I know I shouldn’t tease him with my words, but he’s seriously delusional if he thinks he has any claim over me.
“I knew you were a tease, but I didn’t know you wanted to be a club whore,” he replies, and I try not to let his words sting.
“Are you done?”
“Are you?” he counters.
“You left me standing there. I didn’t fucking do anything. What are you so angry about?”
“You coming into my club, throwing yourself at one of my brothers.”
“Jeez, get over yourself, Sy. Jesse was just showing me around the place. And if I decide I want to have sex with him, or anyone else for that matter, I’ll do what I want. You don’t fucking own me. You had me, fine, but it was mediocre at best, so keep your hands off me,” I snap, trying to get out of his hold.
“Mediocre?” he repeats back to me. I’m so pissed at his attitude I don’t falter in repeating it.
“At best.”
“Didn’t feel like that when your cunt was gripping my cock like a vice,” he throws back, his words causing my pussy to throb.
“That’s called pelvic floor muscle exercises,” I say, ignoring my body’s response to having him so close.
“Right,” he whispers, leaning further into me, “and what about when I dragged my tongue through that sweet pussy of yours, and lapped up your juices dripping from you?” he questions. It takes everything in me not to respond. “Now that I think about it, when you walked into my shop, all pissed off, you were walking like you had been fucked so hard. Did you feel me for days, sweetheart?” he continues, pushing into me further. “I bet your pussy is aching for me now, isn’t it, Holly?” he asks, his lips so dangerously close to my neck.
Fuck me. Two seconds ago I hated the man, and now I’m trying to squeeze my thighs together to stop the ache coming from my lady parts.
“Too bad you won’t find out,” I counter, staying strong. I might want him more than anything, but he is still an ass.
“I don’t even need to touch you to find out. It’s written all over your face, Holly.”
“Whatever, Sy. Let me go.”
“You know I’m right. You’re so fucking turned on right now and so frustrated you’re not going to get any relief,” he teases, telling me what I already know.
“There’s always Jesse,” I threaten, trying to get a reaction from him.
“Like fuck,” he spits out, pushing his hard cock against me. “You’re not gonna let that fucker touch you. Do you understand me? None of my brothers will taste your pussy. Do you hear me?” His hand runs up my leg, running along my short denim skirt and finding the outside of my panties. A small gasp leaves my lips at his feather-light touch. “This sweet pussy belongs to me. I fucking had it first. Now, it’s mine.”
“No, it’s not,” I fight back, but my mind is too busy memorizing each lazy stroke of his finger over my lace panties.
“It will be again,” he warns before taking my mouth hard, suppressing me with his tongue. His fingers pull my panties aside, slipping in and dancing over my aching heat.
“Shit,” I breathe against his lips, forgetting where I am for a moment. Forgetting we can’t stand each other.
“You want relief, Holly?” he asks as my hips start to ride the rhythm of his talented fingers.
“Yes, give it to me, Sy,” I plead, feeling myself build with each flick of his finger.
“Say please,” he demands, slipping his thick finger inside of me.
“Please, Sy,” I cry out as he pumps me harder.
“That’s it, girl. Fuck my finger,” he growls. The heat of his voice causes goose bumps to break out on my skin. A wave of impending bliss washes over me, and then my orgasm hits, hard and fast.
“Sy,” I hiss, but don’t get anything else out as his tongue is dancing with mine again, muffling my shouts of ecstasy. His taste reminds me of beer, mint, and all things Sy. He latches onto my tongue, sucking it hard into his mouth, sending pleasure and pain rolling through my body.
Fuck, this man is dangerous with his bad-boy attitude, his sexy as hell dirty mouth and his ability to take me on the highest of highs in less than a minute. He slows the kiss, lingering for a moment before resting his forehead on mine. This right here is why this man is dangerous: bringing me apart in the middle of the club, and making me forget I hate him. Removing his fingers, he brings them to his mouth and sucks them clean.
BLP REVIEW ~ REBECCA
Biker/MC books have seen an explosion in popularity over recent years with an insatiable market devouring everything in its path be it the Good, the Bad, the Ugly, the mediocre or the downright ridiculous. With more quantity than quality, even though I love MC books, far too rarely do I find the exceptional, special or even just bloody good in this hugely overpopulated market. I’m a fickle, fussy bitch and don’t deny it but I need a storyline, character development, emotion, and I want it all real, gritty and hot, not juvenile and repetitive with no depth, range or world building. My go to authors are Madeline Sheehan, Joanna Wylde and Nicole Jacquelyn, for a softer style I adored Kristen Ashley’s ‘Motorcycle Man’ and have enjoyed many of Jamie Begley’s. My point? Well, a review is just an opinion, nothing more nothing less and we all have different opinions especially with MC books, so if you like my type of choices that I have enjoyed then I highly recommend that you give River Savage a try – in my opinion this is a quality one. I read ‘Incandescent’ a few days ago, what a promising debut that I should have given a chance earlier, then I read ‘Affliction’ and the growth in her writing, the emotion delivered means I will be stalking River Savage for the next instalment because she is going to be one to watch…..
Affliction
Three little words are all it takes to rip his world apart. Lost in his own affliction, Sy has been living in a darkness that he doesn’t ever want to let go of.Until she arrives and shines her light so bright that nothing else mattered.
She was only in it for the chase, for the thrill of capturing the unattainable.
But what happens when her world shatters around her, spiraling her into the darkness beside him?
Can his affliction be her resurrection?
Or will two lost souls living in the depths of deception let it destroy them?
‘Affliction’ is a totally different read from ‘Incandescent’ and the growth River Savage shows as a writer is impressive. It’s an emotional read that is insightful, heart breaking, uplifting and beautiful all in one package.
There is no way to express the beauty of this book without giving away huge spoilers and I refuse to do that, nothing is worse than getting the entire story from a review before you even decide whether to purchase or not. Suffice to say that River has seamlessly interwoven what broke Sylas to become what enables him to put Holly back together while making us cry ugly tears, smile, laugh, get a little turned on then curse the kindle and want to read it all over again.
“I’m not letting you get lost again. I’m not letting you become me.”
From the first time Holly called him Sunshine you knew these two were going to have a story, she didn’t know then what his darkness came from, what those three little words were that so changed the path of his life and had no idea that an all-consuming darkness was headed for her, the wit and sass between them is a pleasure to read but the beauty comes with the pain in the book as this story of loss, grief, hope, love and second chances draws you in, grabs your heart and does not let go.
“Affliction” is Sylas and Holly’s story but features all the characters we met previously in ‘Incandescent’, catching up with Nix and Kadence was a joy and I want Jesse the manwhore to get his comeuppance!! I thought Nix was the panty dropping king but Sy more than gives him a run for his money as the chemistry between him and Holly is hot as fuck and the sass she throws gets him every time!
So if River Savage can write a book of this calibre, with angst, heartache, loss, hope, love, sunshine and darkness on only her second outing then I actually worry how much she will tear us up, spit us out and then put us back together as she learns more of her craft. Not sure my heart can take it…..
Highly recommend.
Title: Reclaimed (A Knights Rebels MC Novella 2.5)
Author: River Savage
Release Date: February 17, 2015
Reclaimed ~ Synopsis
When the woman you love is lost, how hard will you fight to get her back?
Following the birth of her daughter, Kadence Knight finds herself in a battle she never prepared for. With desperation and unhappiness threatening to overwhelm her, a sense of hopelessness pulls her away from the one thing she has always longed for: a family.
As Nix watches his wife struggle with something he doesn’t understand, he can’t help but feel disconnected to his woman. The Kadence he once knew has drifted into the darkness. In her place is a shadow of the woman she once was, one who is fearful of the impossible…failing their daughter.
This Valentine’s Day, Nix has one goal — to reclaim the woman who gave him everything.
*Please note this is a novella and features the characters from the previous storyline.
The events of Reclaimed take place after Incandescent and Affliction. Book one and two in the Knights Rebels MC.
To get the full advantage of the story, and character development, I strongly suggest you read in order.
RECLAIMED ~ EXCERPT
“I don’t know what you want from me,” I whisper. Communication was never this hard. The distance growing further between us as each day passes makes me afraid that this is what we’ve become.
“I just want to bring you happiness, baby,” he sighs, but before I can tell him I don’t think he can, Harlow’s cries come through the monitor. I move off the bed to go to her, knowing she will need to be fed.
“You walk out of this room, Kadence, you walk out on me.” His cold tone stops me from moving any further. It’s the same tone he used in the bathroom. “Leave her,” he commands, but the thought of continuing this conversation, where we tear each other down, has me fighting him.
“Nix, I have to check on her.” I continue to the door.
“Don’t you dare leave this fuckin’ room. I’m important too. I’m your fuckin’ husband. Do you hear me? We are important.” His hand sweeps across his nightstand, causing one big crash that sends everything tumbling to the floor. I’m frozen in place, my hand resting on the door handle. The room is silent. The shock of what has gone on tonight so raw I don’t think either of us knows how to process it.
“I don’t know what you want from me,” I repeat, closing my eyes when Harlow’s cries grow louder, sending my anxiety rising. Doesn’t he know he’s only making it worse?
“Jesus, I don’t know. Give me a look, smile at me…fuckin’ touch me. Give me a connection that says we’re on the same fuckin’ side. I can’t continue to stay in this place we are in. I’m drowning here, Kadence. We both are, and I just don’t know if I can keep treading water for both of us. You have to help me, baby. You have to want us to survive.” He falls to the bed, his head dropping to his hands. Seeing him like this, in this state makes me realize that our situation is bigger than me, than him. It’s bigger than either one of us realize.
“That’s not fair.” I release the handle and turn, collapsing against the wall. The wind knocks out of me as his words resonate within me. We are drowning and I have to stop fighting. At this realization, my knees become weak. Standing becomes too hard. I slide down the wall, dropping my ass to the carpet.
“Life isn’t fair, Kadence. I wish it was, but it just isn’t. Look where we both have come from; look where life has taken us. We won’t survive if you won’t talk to me, Kadence. Talk to someone.” He stands to come to me, but having him in my space only makes things worse.
“Please don’t.” I draw in a breath, defeated. His frustration and concerns only prove what a bad mother I’ve been, what a bad wife I’ve become.
“Don’t what, Kadence? Don’t make me walk away. I want my wife back. I don’t know what’s happened, but I don’t like who you’ve become.” His voice is pained, as broken as my soul feels. His confession doesn’t surprise me, but it still burns. I know I don’t like who I’ve become. How do I expect Nix to like me?
“You don’t think I ask myself that question every day? That I don’t look at myself and ask what is wrong with me? I don’t know who I’ve become, Nix. All I know is I should. I should know who I am.” My head thuds against the wall in defeat. I can’t keep going on like this. I can hear Harlow’s cries quietening, as she resettles herself, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting out of this room.
“I know who you are, Kadence. You’re the woman I love. The most amazin’ mother to our daughter, our son.” Saying Z is my son pulls at me harder. The fact that he, too, is affected by what is happening hurts even more. Nix walks over and squats to my level, careful not to get into my space, but close enough for me to reach out and touch him if I wanted to.
“Why don’t I know that? I should know that Nix.”
“You don’t have to know. I know, the kids know and that’s enough.”
“It’s not enough for me.” My hand itches to touch him, to feel his hardness under my fingers, but sitting broken on the floor of our bedroom, I know I can’t. I can’t touch the man who means everything to me and I hate myself for it.
“When did you stop trustin’ yourself?”
“I don’t know. When did I stop being myself?” I counter, and my admission halts him for a moment. He crawls forward, coming closer into my space. His warmth, his calming presence wraps itself all over me.
“The first step is askin’ for help, baby. Let me help you. You don’t have to be alone. Let me learn to breathe the ugliness you see. Let me share the darkness, Kadence. Just don’t push me away.” His pleading pulls at me, pulls at the hatred that has settled inside.
“I’m not doing good, Nix,” I say, looking up and giving him what he needs. What I need. “Somewhere along the way, I woke completely lost and overwhelmed. And every day, it gets harder and harder to deal.” A sob tears from deep within me, and walls I’ve been hiding behind crumble down.
“I know, baby.” He pulls me into the hardness of his chest. “We’re gonna be okay,” he promises, and everything in me wants to believe him. Everything in me wants to trust he has me. That he has us. But the truth is, I’ve drowned in so much self-doubt and uneasiness, that trust seems so far away.
BLP REVIEW ~ REBECCA
Anyone for a quickie with Nix??? #NIXFIX
Nix is just divine if you enjoy dirty talking, possessive, alpha males with attitude and a bike, what’s that I hear? Of course, it’s all the panties dropping!! His smirk, dirty talking and pretty much anything Nix I enjoyed.I wrote that when I reviewed Incandescent and am totally smitten for life after Reclaimed.
Reclaimed is a quickie little novella covering a timespan of around a year, you really need to read the other two books first to get the best from it and just because they’re damn good. Kadence is a new mom, baby Harlow having arrived to complete the family, however all is not well as she is suffering with Post Natal Depression.
“I don’t know what is happening to me. Spending my days tired, angry and in tears has become my normal. Low is everything I asked for, everything I need. So why does it feel like I have made a mistake?”
This is a difficult subject that is either not discussed or glossed over a lot of the time, River Savage does a really good job of showing how this affects the whole family not just mom, Nix is also lost and floundering as much as Kadence – from a strong connected loving relationship they go to a stilted, uncomfortable, treading on eggshells existence.
My wife is so fucking lost – lost in her own world of hopelessness – We’re not ok
Nix is just totally bloody delicious with how he deals with Kadence and the depression, loving, mostly patient(!), supportive, dominating when needed and swoon worthy the whole book through. A top of the list book husband.
Your heart will break for Kadence, she has everything she ever wished for but is struggling every single day to cope with no idea why it’s so hard, where did it unravel and how to find her way back.
The banter, be it funny, teasing, rude, sweet or dirty between these two just flows effortlessly. They are one of my favourite couples to read, combine that with the author showing that real life, marriage, kids and all the other day to day shit takes a toll on a relationship, hearts, flowers, rainbows and glitter isn’t easy, takes work and this is a winning combination. Easy, fast and enjoyable to read, my only complaint would be that it’s not long enough. Because it’s Nix. Never enough. Need more. Double would be good. Or a new book. Soon…………………………
