The Savage: Limited Edition Cover (Kingmakers) Paperback – Big Book, 8 June 2022

This review was hard to write. Not because it was bad. No, quite the opposite in fact. It’s hard to write because this book is one of the best books I’ve ever read, and I don’t think I have the words to do it justice.To put it simply, The Savage was perfect. It was everything I hoped for and more. Literally from the first page I was hooked and already obsessed. The words were addictive and I couldn’t get enough of them. And no matter how many words Sophie wrote in this book, it will never be enough- it’s just so brilliant.This book had me completely enthralled from the start, and I have no doubt you’ll become as hooked as I did. Begging for your next fix. Devouring every word. And salivating over every new chapter.I knew from reading her Kingmakers series- also known as one of my favourite series’s ever- that Sabrina and Adrik’s story was going to be phenomenal. The savageness of both characters wouldn’t allow for a bad book. They demanded perfection and perfection they got. Sabrina is fire. She is fierce. She is everyone’s girl crush. I absolutely love her character and the balls of steel that she has. She brought a whole new level of cunning excitement to this book. And Adrik... My precious Adrik. He is pure sin. But he also has a lot of emotion and depth, that make him a great character. And I love the way he interacted with Sabrina and excepted her brand or craziness and savagery. But what i also loved is that both characters have flaws. Because at the end of the day, us romance readers love to see traits that make these characters slightly more relatable and human.But this story isn’t all love and rainbows. No. It has danger, it has violence and it has raw emotion. Oh and of course steamy scene that will make you blush red hot with butterflies in you stomach.Everything about this book is brilliant. But one thing I especially loved was the detail Sophie put into it. From the smallest things in the book to the largest, Sophie left no detail out. It is clear that she spent hours researching and fine picking everything. She has put her soul into this book and it has paid of. This books is a phenomenal read!I give this book all the freaking stars!STARS:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️++++SPICE:🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶

“Men look at me and they see liquid sex poured into the body of their dreams. They want me so bad that they can't possibly imagine that what's inside that package might not appeal to them quite as much as the exterior. They say I'm everything they ever wanted - then they want to change everything about me"“I keep looking for a hole in his persona - something he thinks he knows that I know he's wrong about. Some cringey joke. Some moment where I puncture his ego, and like every other man I've ever met, he can't handle it and his temper flares. That's what I expect to happen, because that's what's always happened when I've tried to date men. They hate when you disagree with them, especially when you're right. They hate when you don't fawn over them. And most of all, they hate when you're different than the picture of you they created in their mind.”(I couldn't choose between these two quotes. They both hit me right in the feels. Beautifully said).Yep, Sophie Lark has done it again. What an EPIC ending to the Kingmakers series *cue tears*. I thought I was ready for the explosiveness that is Adrik and Sabrina but boy was I wrong. They are just electric. Sabrina is strong, fierce, honest and rowdy af. I love her so much. The action in this book is freaking fantastic; I had to remind myself to breathe multiple times. I adored seeing Sloane in this book and the important role she played in Adrik and Sabrina's lives. So beautiful. 4.5 stars.Read time - 7h 56minsReading sessions - 7

I am so sad to say goodbye to this series… I miss it already.Kingsmaker easily slotted into one of my favourite series of all time slots.After finishing the series and looking back I can see the Easter eggs sophie left for us throughout the books. The amount of thought and care that went into setting this story up, these characters, and the tie back to the original series is seriously amazing.I am so happy that we got to experience Sabrina for all her glory.This book was spicy, it was fast paced, it had all the mafia goodness, and the amazing Nero cameos🥵___________________This is right, I’m supposed to be with you.I don’t care about anything else. I don’t care what I believed before I met you, or what I planned.You smashed what I was and you made me something new.Is it love or is it madness? I accept either one.___________________

This series is so good

The Savage is the 5th book in the Kingmakers series and centers around Sabrina Gallo and Adrik Petrov. They met initially when Sabrina helped Adrik stage a rescue mission for Ivan Petrov.This book is hot and heavy from the beginning - I’d say the spiciest of the Kingmakers books (Sophie gave the people what they want!) with both MF, FF and MFF scenes 🥵🔥Sabrina and Adrik are both Alphas and they start off strong, taking on Moscow and making a name for themselves in the mafia world. But when two Alphas both want to be top dog, there’s going to be problems. And Sabrina and Adrik are no different.Both of these characters are raw and emotional and Sophie has created them with honesty. I loved this story. I loved the character development and the love between the two of them was palpable.Highly recommend The Savage!
