This book gave me all the feels! This is the second in the Ruthless Asylum series, and it features the same couple from the first book--Zain and Chloe. My main complaint in the first book was not getting enough backstory for Chloe, and boy did this book give me what I wanted! We get to meet Chloe’s parents, and we finally find out just why she has DID.
There’s a lot more to the plot in this book, as well. There’s quite a bit of suspense and lots of extra gory violence. There were a couple of shocking twists that had me reeling. So good! I love how these books are dark and twisty, but they don’t gut me like books by other authors. It’s almost a comfort read, yet still categorized as a dark romance.
I read Chaotic all in one sitting, with one brief bathroom break.
5 stars!

This book is absolutely batshit crazy in the BEST of ways!! OMG!! After that ending with the first book, I NEEDED more, and just HOLY SHIT. We get the background as to why Chloe/Jessica came about, and I as a parent, that absolutely ruined me. And the fact that her rescuer --who plays such a special role in her life!!-- Understood right away what was going on just made me cry more and more tears. I just can't even think about it without tearing up all over again. I love how this duo is so aware of the importance of mental health and how fragile the mind really is.. and that just makes me love these ladies all the more.

What I really love most about this couple is that even though there is chaos all around them and in them, their souls connect in the most beautiful, passionate way. They just fit together so well, and their obsessive, possessive love rivals everything else. I love the way Zain loves her wholly and completely without reservations, and every new aspect of Chloe/Jessica just makes him love her even more. I honestly just can't get over this couple.

I also loved how Reaper and his men came to their rescue when they needed them. Family plays such a big part in all of these books, and I love how these characters don't even blink to do whatever is necessary to save those they love.

We also get to learn more about those that escaped the Asylum with Zain, and I can't wait for all of them to get their own stories as well! I'm just so obsessed with everything these ladies write!

Please do yourselves a favor and go read these books! It's dark and twisted, but so hopeful and funny at the same time. I just can't get enough. But you HAVE to read Lunatic before you read this one! :) Happy reading ya'll!

**I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions!**

At first I was taken aback as I assumed this book would feature some of the other asylum escapees but instead we're once again thrown into the relationship between Zaine and Chloe+her personalities. It did not take long to dive back into this crazy world and I loved every minute of it. This time I felt like the story focused more on Chloe's development and evolution than Zaine's as we got in book one as her past comes back to bite her in the butt. Not only does she reunite with her family, we also get to witness two more new personalities develop as a way for her to cope. We get more background Chloe as a child and how/why her disorder developed. I absolutely love all these characters. By them not being cookie cutter characters they come off so much more Raw and Real. I can't get enough of the 'crazies' and I really enjoyed the book. Chloe & Zaine may have only known one another a week but their obsession of one another is real and not going anywhere. Nothing and no one will stand in Zaine's way when it comes to Chloe and even if he has to break back into the very asylum he escaped to save his girl, he'll do it. Loved this book as much as the first and really hope the series goes on. It does end in a good place but either way I'd love more!!!

CHAOTIC is the second instalment in KL Savage’s contemporary, adult RUTHLESS ASYLUM erotic, dark, romance series-a spin off from the author’s RUTHLESS KINGS MC series. This is the continuing story of Chloe/Jessica Jone’s and Zain Rolands. CHAOTIC should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events of book one LUNATIC.

WARNING: CHAOTIC deals with issues of mental health, abuse and murder. Due to the graphic violence and nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

SOME BACKGROUND: The Ruthless Kings MC purchased a former asylum in an effort to contain a violent assassin who targeted the members of the MC. With the return of Reaper’s uncle Zain, the asylum will become home to Zain, and a number of former asylum inmates with no place to call home.

Told from three first person perspectives (Zain, Chloe, Jessica) CHAOTIC continues to follow the unusual relationship between Zain Roland and Chloe/Jessica Jones. Chloe Jones suffers with DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) and as such Zain never quite knows which woman he loves but Chloe is desperate to contact her father, and in doing so, sets into motion a series of events that lead to Chloe’s recapture, and commitment to another institution, a hospital where the people in charge, are sicker than the patients they control. Determined and frantic to rescue the woman he loves, Zain calls in help from the Ruthless Kings MC, leaving a trail of dead and battered bodies in their wake.

CHAOTIC is another quick read; a novella length story line focusing on mental illness, abuse, desperation and love. Zain struggles with bi-polar disorder and spends most of the story line manic and wild. Chloe endures several episodes and attacks that reveal a appearance of new personalities, personalities meant to protect our heroine when everything goes wrong. The premise is disturbing, dark and startling-KL Savage pulls the reader into a world of madness and mayhem; the characters are desperate, frantic, lost and uncontrolled; the relationship is unconventional and unusual.

Everyone deserves to be loved and cared for, no matter who they are.

Chloe and Zain have an obsessive, honest love for each other. Their lives are intertwined in ways that are hard to understand. They may not have conventional lives, or the clearest minds, but their souls are connected and if they can’t be with each other they can’t breathe. Zain’s comparisons of how he misses Chloe are great, “I miss her like fire would miss burning everything in its path. I miss her like a serial killer who doesn’t get to kill. I miss her like the heart would miss blood”.

I love all of the characters in the Ruthless books, whether it’s the Ruthless Kings or the Ruthless Asylum books. They are characters that feel as if you would love to have them as a part of your life. If you don’t know them, you want to know them. While the characters in the Ruthless Asylum books have some type of mental illness, they are characters that draw you in and make your life more fulfilling. K. L. Savage writes great characters that stay with you long after you’ve read their story. I love Zain and Chloe and their love story is epic. The world may think that Zain and Chloe should be cared for, but they may the sanest people around. They see the world through the eyes of victims and the darkness around them, but they live simple lives and are happy as long as they are left alone. While the characters in the Ruthless Asylum series are considered escapees, they are living life to its fullest and they have the Ruthless Kings to guide them, help them, and protect them. They’re part of the family, some by blood, but most by choice. I love the scene with Tool and Zain, “The ghost is clear”. I thought this was the funniest explanation of the use of this statement. I give this book a 5-star review and am so excited for more books by K.L. Savage.

OH MY GOD!!! That’s all I can manage to say after reading Chaotic! This book is INCREDIBLE!!!

Chaotic is book #2 in the Ruthless Asylum series and is the second part of Zain and Chloe’s story. It dives deeper into mental illness and how traumatic events can cause the mind to fracture and/or create ways to cope with these events. You will learn about Chloe’s past and how Jessica came into existence, how being in a place with horrible memories can trigger you emotionally in different ways and that no matter how lost you are, love will always find a way to shine though.

This book is definitely darker and will NOT be for everyone! This book will have you tangled in your emotions! I laughed, gasped, freaked out (in excitement) and am in awe of the amount of research and thought that went into this story! You will see new friendships, harsh realities, love that knows no bounds and the true meaning of the word family. Always remember that your illness doesn’t shape who you are, you’re who you because it’s part of you. Never let anyone make you feel different or worthless because of it!

K.L. this book is honestly one of my new favorites! It’s amazing! I wish I could rate this book 10 stars! I can’t wait to read more about the Asylum and the family that lives there!

Zain and Chloe’s story continues in Chaotic. And true to its title the following few days after they first met and fell in love is filled with chaos. If you haven’t read Lunatic, do yourself a favor and get them both now and read in order. KL does a fantastic job of expanding these new characters. We learn so much more about Chloe and Jessica’s history and what led her to be who she is. Zain is evolving outside the institution, taking responsibility for those in his care, wanting the best for them and accepting help from the Kings as needed because as they tell him, he’s family.

Chloe’s recent past comes to light and Jessica goes into hiding to protect herself. Zain needs to figure out what she’s hiding. But first he needs to take care of the man who tried to hurt his girls. While taking care of business, he loses his cool and is sedated…eventually. Meanwhile, Chloe is forced to go to a place that Zain never thought he’d have to go again. A rescue is planned by the Kings. It is so much fun to have Tool and Zain be partners in crime! Jessica comes out to play when Chloe needs protecting and even more so than in Lunatic do we see what lengths she will go to protect Chloe and her two new sisters.

This new chapter in the Ruthless Asylum was so much fun and I cannot wait until the next book! If you haven’t picked up the Ruthless Kings MC, practice some self love and start with Reaper.

Chaotic is exactly that - Chaotic.

This is the continuation of Zain and Chloe's story. The ending of Lunatic we learned a deep, dark secret about Jessica. One that definitely needed to be answered. It takes no time for Zain to realize that Jessica is keeping something from him. Despite only knowing his sweet girl/little rebel for about a week, he knows everything about them. He can tell the difference between the two flawlessly and loves every aspect of both of them.

We learn what brought Jessica into Chloe's life. Chloe's upbringing is heartbreaking. Her birthparents unworthy of her, her adoptive parents loving her and wanting to keep her safe from the minute they meet her. Each set plays an instrumental part in her upbringing and how she survives.

We are introduced to new characters and see more from the others who live in the asylum. When Chloe is taken, we see the lengths in which Zain will go to get her back. Showing once more that the love inside of him prevails. He may be insane but loving Chloe/Jessica makes him his own type of sane.

I definitely enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to seeing what else comes out of the Asylum Series. If you haven't read Lunatic, definitely read it before reading Chaotic.

**Chaotic is by far the darkest book from K.L. Savage and some situations will be a trigger for some readers**

Chaotic continues on from Lunatic still following Zain and Chloe's story. We found out a little bit about Chloe in Lunatic but in this book her background and how Jessica came into her life is explained more. Its a tear-jerking read. Chaotic is definitely the right name for this book and it sums up what Chloe's life is like. Suffering from DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) multiple personalities. With more personalities popping up in this book. Still for me at the heart of all Ruthless books is love (For Family & Friends) and even with all Zain & Chloes problems that is what they feel for each other.

Ive loved the Ruthless Kings MC books and the spin offs are just as good. This one was a brilliant read. Loved It!

I started to like Chloe personality's more this time around, i embraced her like Zain did,
i truly love how he loves her, how OTT he is, he is awesome!!
I can't wait to read other books of the other guys from the Asylum.

A pretty good read. There's a lot of crazy in this book and I don't mean that as a bad thing. We met Chloe, Jessica and Zain in the first Ruthless Asylum book. Well here is where a lot of bad things happen. More of the same with a whole nother twist. It's not all bad either... you see what can happen when someone gets to the end of their rope. Your mind can shut down to protect itself.

Chaotic is a batshit crazy book in the best way. I have thoroughly enjoyed everything I have read so far by K.L. Savage and Chaotic was no exception. This is the sequel to Zain and Chloe’s story and it seriously didn’t disappoint. Does Zain find out the truth about what happened to Chloe’s therapist? What does his murder bring to the escaped patients?  Will Zain and Chloe be able to stay together?  Chaotic is completely hot, dirty, gritty and crazy. If you enjoy a hot alpha male who dominates in the sack and will use his own crazy to save the woman he loves, then this book is definitely for you.

Installment two of the Ruthless Asylum series by KL Savage made me glad I didn't skip out too soon. I was a bit unsure about how to take LUNATIC when it was all said and done, but CHAOTIC made up for it's predecessor's shortcomings.

This book picks right back up where the first left off after getting a glimpse of what shaped Chloe's mental disorder, dissociative identity disorder. Building off the things we've learned about Zain and Chloe in the first book, I think we really get a lot better handle on both of these characters through their coping mechanisms with their individual mental health struggles. Chloe's part of the book shows her getting admitted to the asylum as a direct result of her disorder manifesting additional personalities as a buffer for recent events. Unfortunately, she learns firsthand exactly what made Zain hate the asylum so much. Little do they know that Chloe's other personalities aren't just going to sit back and take their abuse.

Zain's piece of this book mostly centers around him attempting to rescue Chloe from the mental health institution him and several friends broke out of in book one. While it was great to see Zain connect more with the Ruthless Kings MC in the form of Tool, the vice president of the Las Vegas chapter, I would have loved to see more of the friends with whom he broke out of the asylum, too. He's not had a great chance to develop true friendships with the other escapees, and now that he's getting this chance, it seems somewhat of a missed opportunity.

Overall, I enjoyed the continued storyline and felt more settled in everything portrayed so far with these characters. Honestly, these books could have easily been incorporated into one for a better overall experience, but maybe KL was trying to mirror the frustrating, and dare I say chaotic, nature of these books by making it two separate stories. I'm really interested in seeing more of these characters and hope we get to delve into Zipper and Goldie more.

Character development: 3/5
Dark elements: 4/5
Steamy scenes: 4/5
Overall storyline: 3/5

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Chaotic really packs a punch. I love it. It stands in its own category by writers K.L. Savage. This is book 2 in the Ruthless Asylum series. In its we finally learn about the Chloe and Jessica origin before it picks up where book 1 Lunatic ended. The story definitely is full of twists and action. Tool summed up Chaotic best when he said "True family risk lives for each other."

Chloe calls her father to let him know her whereabouts. He is the new chief of police and the cops swarmed the asylum, "rescuing" his daughter. He is only able to swoop in because Zain is at the Kings' clubhouse. She is questioned by the cops about her possible involvement in the murder of her therapist and his wife. Fearing for Chloe, her father worries about Chloe's and Jessica's sanity and locks her in her bedroom. Not good...Lydia and Lady Charlotte show themselves. Panicking, her father commits them to the state asylum.

When Zain hears about the raid on his home he freaks. Worrying about Chloe and Jessica as well as the others that broke out of the state asylum Zain's mania drives him into an uncontrollable mad man. Can he protect his family and get Chloe and Jessica back? Zain's response: “You’ve f...ked with the wrong kind of crazy.”

Reaper and the other Kings are there to help Zain. It is fun to see the way each deals with those who are a bubble off of center. It really adds to rounding out their personalities.

Chaotic is violent, action driven, romantic, haunting and twisted. The characters' kind of insanity is not looked down upon or made fun of in any way. They all have their own crazy but it makes them the normal they are and we love them. This is all thanks to the care K.L. Savage puts into her characters. They remind us that we all have bits of ourselves that area outside the norm. "Madness can be beautiful if you know where to look." This one quote from Chaotic reveals the strength of this series.

Amazing.....but this with be more a commentary to the author then a review...sorry not sorry

Since I also live with DID and share my body and life with 3 other people this story was fantastic! Its as you can probably see with that first sentence a story I can relate to a lead female character(s) lol. It is MY TRUTH also but lucky though I also have a vicious defender shes not into murder so bonus too us....relief! It takes a strong man to love someone like me and I'm so blessed to have found MY Zain 20 yrs ago. He loves us all and says everyday is a new adventure when we wake up. I've had decades to come to terms with this condition and live in harmony with my sisters and no longer loose time. The horror that mental health patients go thru in institutions still happen today and so many patients are left defenseless and unheard i know first hand. Thank God im loved and was out in a week cause people cared enough about me to listen and believe before it went to far. Just because I'm 4 people doesn't mean any of us would lie about being touched for frack sake and my heart breaks for those who can't even try to tell. Big thanks to the author for bringing characters and hard situations like this into the Vicious Kings MC world 🌎 it makes it even more fun to read and I've read all but 3 books (those are next) that are already written and can't wait for what comes next in every story line! I might be fractured into 4 but I am NOT broken, im just unique. DID is hard but with work and support life can be pretty normal you'd probably be surprised 😮.

Severe trauma, more often then not child abuse makes people like me so please be aware of children around you, their behavior, warning signs and help save and protect them. Get involved!

I loved book one, Lunatic, in this Ruthless Asylum series so was keen to read the next book—I wasn’t disappointed as it is full of action, drama and emotions. And all of this wrapped up in a shorter book is quite a feat too!

Chloe we discover has more to her and boy is it revealing and intriguing. Zain still makes you want to hug the life out of him and help him in any way possible, he’s such a likable character but it’s hard to describe, you just have to read these books.

Not only do you feel so much for Zain and Chloe but you delight in some lighter moments of humor. As well, you find yourself sitting on the edge of your seat with anxiety but even more so—hope, which is so cleverly woven into the story.

The intensity of the story makes it very fast-paced and I will admit I craved more. There are great twists and turns that sneak up on you and go ‘boo!’ 😄 I can’t wait for more from these characters who are all so interesting.

So I was on the fence about book 1--Lunatic-and I willingly went into book 2...... The best statement I can give is this is totally like accident gawkers on a highway. I knew what was coming but I just had to read it anyway. I had to look. I had to know. This is not for someone looking for a sweet romance. It isn't even for someone looking for an MC romance. I'm not sure it is romance. It most definitely is CHAOTIC.

This continues the story from the first book. You will want to read that one first before jumping in to this story. We get more back story on Chloe and what caused her mental break. We get to see how society treats people with mental health issues. And mostly, we see Zain loose his ever loving mind when Chloe's parents take her home.

My heart kept pace with the ramblings of an unmedicated man trying to reunite with his soul mate. I needed to read it straight through to get to the conclusion. I loved the Kings helping out. The scenes with Zain and Tool are worth the read on their own.

Still creepy weirdness about the series itself. So happy Doc was able to talk some sense into the band of newly free patients. Hopefully that means things will calm down somewhat. But, who am I kidding. This whole spin off is one f-'d up adventure and God knows where the next story will lead!

Absolutely Phenomenal Read and so appropriately titled. This book is definitely chaotic. Chaotic is a continuation of Zain and Chloe’s story. If you haven’t read part one, “Lunatic”, I Highly suggest you read it first. The author has given us another simply put “crazy” read (and I mean that in the most loving of ways). While the book is a great romantic read, it also had an underlying meaning for this reader: that all people need and are capable of love. Even those deemed “crazy” by the world. Zain suffers from mania while Chloe suffers from DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder often called Multiple Personality Disorder). In book one we met Chloe/Jessica but when she suffers another traumatic experience, we meet Lady Charlotte and Lydia - thus Chaotic times. Can Zain’s mania possibly deal with all four personalities, especially when he has to return to the heart of his issues to save his beloved Chloe from a fate worse than death?

This is such an exceptional series, that I suggest grabbing up both Lunatic and Chaotic ASAP. You won’t regret it. As for this reader, I am anxiously awaiting more from KL Savage, the Ruthless Kings and the spinoff series’.

Chaotic is the second book in the Ruthless Asylum series and it focuses on Chessica...Chloe and her alter ego Jessica, who are Zain's complete world. Straightaway we find out how Jessica comes about in Chloe's mind and how she is pushed into a world of darkness from a very young age. It's plain to see that Chloe and Zain are at their best when they are together, but a completely innocent act changes all that, and they are apart for the first time since they met. During this time, a huge thorn in Chloe's side occurs, and she is sent to the one place where both her and Zain feared the most,and he had to put aside his own memories and fears and his own Mania to get back the one thing he needed in his life to breathe...whatever the cost...even his life...
All the while, the police investigation into the murder from Lunatic is still on going, so it's a "was it, wasn't it" game,but it was awesome to see how that panned out. Again, it was fantastic to see the dynamic of the whole Asylum family and how they come together in each others troubles and needs. Although Chaotic was alot darker than Lunatic was,it was nice to have a mix of laughs, camaraderie, and of course the sexy scenes was more than words could say 😉😉😉

As crazy as this story was to me, this was the perfect follow up and conclusion to Lunatic. These are super quick reads and kept me entertained and powering through the duet .
Zane and his “ladies”, are a perfect match. This story is legit batshit crazy.
If you’re into dark batshit crazy romance , it’s for you .

I loved book one, Lunatic, in this Ruthless Asylum series so was keen to read the next book—I wasn’t disappointed as it is full of action, drama and emotions. And all of this wrapped up in a shorter book is quite a feat too!

Chloe we discover has more to her and boy is it revealing and intriguing. Zain still makes you want to hug the life out of him and help him in any way possible, he’s such a likeable character but it’s hard to describe, you just have to read these books.

Not only do you feel so much for Zain and Chloe but you delight in some lighter moments of humour. As well, you find yourself sitting on the edge of your seat with anxiety but even more so—hope, which is so cleverly woven into the story.

The intensity of the story makes it very fast paced and I will admit I craved more. There are great twists and turns that sneak up on you and go ‘boo!’ 😄 I can’t wait for more from these characters who are all so interesting.

Chaotic is Book #2 in this series. This book is intense- in it’s theme and characters. It will not be for the faint of heart. This book is part of a duet and both books must be read in order. Chaotic picks up where Lunatic left off. This time the prologue is in Chloe’s POV and this book gives us a clearer image of all her damage.

Jessica is hiding a secret that could ruin Chloe’s life. When Chloe reaches out to her parents, her father the Chief of Police, comes to get her out of concern. When his actions have a negative impact on Chloe’s mental state, he commits her. This has the MC helping Zain get back his girl(s).

This series is one intense ride on the crazy train. But, it shows us that we all need the love and the right person will love all of our crazy completely.

Once again the heat is cranked up. Zain’s dominance is front and center. 😅😅

“Chloe is my priority. Jessica is my salvation. Charlotte is my breath of fresh air. Lydia is my escape from reality. Our love grows the most in chaos. And that’s what we live in every day. Madness can be beautiful if you know where to look.”

What a wild ride and I loved it!!! So Chaotic starts of where Lunatic ended. We get a little more backstory for Chloe/Jessica, which broke my heart. We really get to see the development of her personality(s) and the struggles she has to go through. What I really appreciate is the thought that K.L Savage put in to her character. That can't be easy to write but they did an exceptional job bringing all of her to life. We also get to see the devotion that Zain shows her and what he is willing to do to keep her safe. One of my favorite aspects of K.L Savage's books is we get a lot of the story with all the other characters, both from the Asylum and the Ruthless Kings. I also love that they are shining a light on mental illness and showing us that everyone has feelings and deserves to be treated with respect. I absolutely love Zain and Chloe and I'm so happy we were able to get more of their story. It was very entertaining and well written and I can't wait to see what else they have in store for the guys at the Asylum! I would definitely recommend Chaotic!!!

ARC provided by author...

Maybe I just never really understood what MC Romance is all about, but another part of me thinks maybe it's just the way the K.L.Savage weaves and creates the world of the Ruthless Kings. It's not perfect. It's broken, at times incredibly uncomfortable, brutal and yet sweet, funny, sexy, and filled with family and loyalty, whose characters find each others flaws as something that makes them who they are, and are accepting if not obsessive to a fault in the best way.

The Asylum spin off is no exception, and though Zain is Reaper's uncle, he's borderline like a long lost brother. And, just like each and every Ruthless King, he knows that family is more than just blood. Family accepts, and understands the things that define you, without question.

And protects family against any threat.

Chloe in all her sweet glory, is exactly what Zain needs in so many ways. Twisted yet sweet, their story is far from over, and I look forward to glimpses of them in future books!

I was pulled right into this story. The story is kind of crazy.

This is a spinoff of the Ruthless Kings MC series so if you want those books are listed here I would recommend reading those books(s) first:
Reaper (Ruthless Kings MC, #1)
Boomer (Ruthless Kings MC, #2)
Tool (Ruthless Kings MC, #3)
Poodle (Ruthless Kings MC #4)
Skirt (Ruthless Kings MC #5)
Pirate (Ruthless Kings MC #6)
Doc (Ruthless Kings MC #7)
Tongue (Ruthless Kings MC #8)
Knives (Ruthless Kings MC #9)
Lunatic (Ruthless Asylum #1)

This story is more about Zain. When Chole’s father takes her away Zain knows he has to get her back. He gets Tool to help, and they set out on a mission. Zain knows he has to get her back no matter the case and he is willing to make the people that have her and took her pay. More secrets are revealed but will those secrets change anything?

I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I recommend this book.

Chaotic picks up where Lunatic leaves off. This is not a standalone, and to really understand the characters and who they are, you should read Lunatic first. Zain has bipolar disorder and Chloe/Jessica DID (dissociative identity disorder). In Chaotic we get to delve deeper into their disorders and their relationship. We also get to see the onset of Chloe/Jessica's DID and how Jessica came to be. It's very hard to talk about this book and the story without giving away spoilers, but I can say it is wild ride. A lot happens and it's a quick read. This book deals with disturbing and traumatic situations and heavy topics and is not for the faint of heart. Chaotic is a wild ride that takes you on a journey with these complicated and complex characters!

Chapter 1 my heart broke for Chloe cause we learn how she developed her multiple personalities and we learn how she adopted into a supporting loving family.

We kick off from the end of Lunatic where we learn a doctor that has be murdered and Jessica gave us a flash back. Oh and we have more personalities to Chloe one is a victorian Lady Charlotte who is hilarious in the modern times. Reaper reaction made me laugh Lord Reaper 🤣

There is a rescue mission and can you guess who they are going to save? Well she does mange to take one man down...

I LOVE Oli so much I want to hug him 3times with his COPD and he has a gaint heart. The romance between Goldie & Zipper is still teasing me! New family member called Loch & his sister Sadie.

Everyone deserves to be loved and to be accepted.

☆MUST READ☆
I am invested in this series. I haven't read a series that is dedicated to people who have health conditions. They have to fight to be part of this world but, they have a family & MC family that are loyal to them & love them

Mental illness is a tough subject. I absolutely love the rawness which author K.L. Savage approach it. She did an excellent job showing that people who suffer from mental illness sometimes get overlooked by some that are supposed to care for them. She also shows that just because you have a mental illness doesn't mean you can't love or be loved. I think it's double important that the author chooses for this group of individuals in escaping to the real world, choose to allow Doc to medicate them and bring a psychological Doctor on board. It shows the reality that medication is a necessity for the extreme and sometimes even the lighter cases.

All I have to say is I love the way Zane loves his 'old lady, his wife.
