[Blog Tour + Review] A King So Savage by April Moran


A KING SO SAVAGE by April Moran is NOW LIVE!!



BLURB.

I saw her.

I wanted her.

I took her.

The money is just an excuse. Her brother’s debt? A convenient justification for my obsession. She’s been mine since the day I laid eyes on her.

Taking her captive stirs up a storm. Her depraved brother wants her back. My own half-brother is determined to snatch my kingdom from me, and my men lust after the woman I’ve stolen. And she looks at me with reluctant, angry desire every time I touch her.

And I touch her every chance I get. She’s so bright and shiny—a pretty toy I can break and put back together again and again. She may be my prisoner, but she’s got my black heart locked up tight.

Well, I won’t need that useless lump of muscle and tissue if I lose her. I won’t need anything except the blood of our enemies dripping from my hands. I’ll rip the heart out of any man who dares hurt her and place it at her feet.

When it comes to my wicked little lamb, my personal motto means everything.

I’m Kingston Vaughn Winter.

And Ava Bella Blue is mine.

MY REVIEW.

3.5 Stars from Tiffany!
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lots of Lip Service.

While the book is dark, it wasn’t my type of dark, or at least the dark genre I am used to. April Moran introduces readers to Kingston Winter and his prize Ava Blue. Excellent character names!

Kingston is all kinds of messed up from his rotten childhood and as the blurb says, took Ava for collateral on her brother’s debt. A brother who is also messed up like King. Not to mention King’s brother Oliver, who is also a member of the messed up club. This girl is surrounded by nutjobs, so of course the only way for her to survive this nightmare long enough to get away, is to play along as best as she can.

I really had a difficult time meshing with this storyline. It felt like a lot of talk and no real action. Not that these two needed any kind of chemistry because Kingston was going to have her no matter what, but the banter felt pithy and immature. It didn’t seem like any “bad guy” would take the kind of crap she was throwing. It was almost as if the author wanted to go dark, but didn’t want to fully cross the line. That said, I am interested in the information Kingston is withholding from Ava about her family.

The book was well written, however it didn't tickle my dark fancy. In an ass backwards way, the “bad guy” would somehow redeem himself in my eyes and actually be likable by the end, but I didn’t find that with Kingston Winter. The book is the first in a duet and leaves readers with some unanswered questions for sure.




MEET APRIL MORAN.

April enjoys writing both historical and contemporary/dark romance with a generous splash of heat. When not penning tales of passion, she enjoys traveling with her husband, attending rock concerts with friends, and time spent with family. Brainstorming new storylines is best done while riding her horse or during long walks with her German Shepherd. A tumbler of good whiskey helps tie all the details together and brings her characters to life.
