Author Carmen Jenner has a warning in the beginning of this book and it's a warning all readers should seriously consider. This is not a book for the faint of heart, especially if rape is a trigger for you.

I love MC stories and having been recently introduced to her Sugartown series, I was eager to read KICK (since Kick has a role in what happened in Sugartown). But I suddenly discovered KICK was much darker and much more disturbing than any MC story I've read.

Kick was in a bad place and given how he was raised in his previous MC, he was a hot mess when it came to his life and to his woman. He may have been a bit of a bastard when it came to the woman in the club, but he did have a soft spot for those with a broken spirit. But when they found Indie, the part of Kick that couldn't watch a woman suffer, stepped up and proved there was a lot more to Kick than what we see.

I think that is why I kept reading KICK, despite the urge to put it down. Kick wasn't a good guy. He was raised in the MC life and it was a life that lived well on the wrong side of the law. He'd done a lot of of bad things, but there was that little flash of "doing the right thing", especially when it came to certain woman. By no means was Kick someone that I would root for or that I would add to my book boyfriend list, but I saw enough of a flash to cringe my way through the book.

A rather disturbing start to the Savage Saints series and it's set a dark tone for the series. I'm interested in what direction Carmen Jenner will take us next.
