Knives (Ruthless Kings Las Vegas Chapter Book 8) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 2,201 ratings

Love is a powerful force, but it's nothing compared to guilt, and my guilt is eating me alive.

I went from being an irresponsible kid who didn’t know any better to an irresponsible man who does.
I make no apologies.
Don’t take my carelessness for strength.
My blood is as deadly as the bullet that killed my brother, and once I’m cut, there’s no stopping the river of rage.
My past is dead. I’m not like my MC brothers. Nothing is going to come bite me in the ass.
Or so I thought.

Because life gave me Mary, the little hellraiser who tries to be reckless.
She’s only looking to escape the nightmare of what happened to her in Atlantic City.
She’s a good girl. The kind to wear pearls and fancy cardigans. She doesn’t belong in this life.
Even if I know she belongs with me.
She paints her lips in red lipstick, but I know it’s an effort to hide the pain.
There’s more than the fact we are too different to be together.

Her past isn’t dead, and mine has come back to life.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

K.L. Savage is the pseudonym of two friends addicted to rough love, who decided they were tired of looking for the kind of books they wanted to read. They had an itch that needed to be scratched, and as every girl knows, nothing scratches better than an alpha.

They write about gritty, alpha males, sometimes their dark sides, and the women they love.

If you have the same itch, their alpha males should fix that.

    You think you know but you don’t until you start this emotional read that will ripe you apart and put you back together. Knives story is so heartbreaking that it literally will have you in tears as you read his journey to finding the unexpected one that just brings the light to his darkness. I have waited for his story since this fabulous series started and it was so worth the wait. If you been on this journey from the start or even if your a fan of this genre than this is a must read for you!

    After what seems like a lot of sexual foreplay in the previous books. Knives and Mary finally voice their true feelings for each other. After having another of their fights, Knives bails Mary out of jail after being arrested for reckless speeding. Knives decides he is going to teach her a lesson and takes her for ride on his bike into the desert, where Knives bikes gets blown up and they run into a storm that turns deathly. While staying in a old barn while waiting out the storm they discover their true feelings for each other. And tell each other about their past lives.
    Knives tells her about his parents and sister deaths, and his foster brother Mason and how he feels responsible for his death. And how everybody he cares about leaves him.
    Mary tells him about how for 12 years her father the Preacher sexually abused her until she ran away. Which is how she ended up in New Jersey where the Ruthless Kings Vegas Chapter rescue her and the others.
    So they decide to give their new relationship a chance or do the forces above have other plans for the couple. All I can said is Seer has one of his visions and I will leave it for you to read and find out.
    We also gets to see some tender moments for Sarah and Reaper over their baby. Also Tongue and Happy are having a good time with Maximo minus some body parts. If you love the other Ruthless Kings stories, you will enjoy Knives. So settle in and start reading to find out if Knives and Mary will get their Happy Ever After.

    All I can say is WOW K L. Savage has done it again. Another great book they just keep getting better.
    The pain from there past has brought them together. An emotional roller coaster ride between Knives and Mary has brought them together to find love.

    All I can say is WOW again. I love these books. The back stories and the emotion you put into them is great.

    Knives and Mary love shows you that there is someone for everybody no matter your past is.

    I have been reading from the beginning with Reaper and this can't be the last. Because there is still a few mire character that haven't had the spotlight on them like Bulls-eye and I think that character miss Rudy are going to be a match. Then Slingshots and Reaper sister might be a match as well and don't for get Braveheart and Ellis, but I am not sure about them. There is also Tank and Badge that need to be read about. I just love your books and how Slingshots is so funny. I love the humor you put in the books of the story you are telling. Also you made me cry about Lady cause I am a dog lover and how you say that about people and animals, the difference was poetic and beautiful.

    Wow, Knives story is more than I thought. We get glimpses of him in the other stories but no real info on who he is. He has lost a lot and now is his time to gain something, as always it comes with drama and pain but a happy ending. Molly has gone through more than anyone knows but never lost her backbone, badda$$ bitch!

    I read this via my ku subscription and am leaving my review voluntarily. This story is part of the ongoing Ruthless Kings MC series.

    Triggers:
    murder, violence, torture, sexual assault 

    Spoilers:
    Knives, his family died, lived in foster care. was bullied. his foster brother saved him and he went to live with the Ruthless Kings.

    Mary, grew up with her Pastor father, but things aren't what they seem. She ended up at the Atlantic City Ruthless Kings and they were bad, selling girls.  She is rescued by the Las Vegas Ruthless Kings. 

    Mary and Knives have chemistry. Alot of back and forth between them. Action. Sexy time. HEA

    K.L Savage... this past year has been one we won’t forget.... your books have enabled many people to have a break from what’s happening and given them the relief to breath again... your books have been my sanctuary. You’ve don’t it again... each book, each character I was gripped till the end. I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it, if you haven’t read Ruthless kings then you will not regret one clicking! As soon as you finish one, you’ll want the next in the series. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried and I’ve held my breath so
    many times reading this series and I wouldn’t have it any other way! The bond of the brothers, their banter... So unexpected from a bunch of tattooed, muscled bad boys but I LOVE it. I wish we could all find that and I hope we all do. Every book will touch your heart and pull at your stings but you will never forget it. Knives was such an emotional read and one I’m so glad they got to live through. I look forward to hearing about about each and every character in the coming books. Thank you again K L Savage and Silla. The book world appreciates you!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 2, 2021
    After the kiss these two shared at Christmas they can't stop thinking about each other.
    Is it because they drive each other crazy or did it open their eyes and their hearts to each other?

    Every MC member have their own stories.
    People who hang around the clubhouse have their own stories normally running away from an old life. That's definitely Mary's case.

    But been forced into sitting down and talking to each other opens up the crazy pair.
    So pleased it did.

    I love Maisey can't wait for her to grow up n read her story she's already got so much Sass n she's only 4!!!!

    Another great read from KL Savage.
    You know you’ve found a good author for you when a book has you laughing, crying and angry in parts.
    The story of Knives and Mary has been a long time coming and told beautifully.
