ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 2, 2018

Evil comes in many forms, and right now it’s a beautiful, raven-haired woman hanging upside down on a stripper pole.

Here in Vegas, they call her Destiny, but I know exactly who she really is.

Lexi Cruz and her father ruined my life. They blackmailed me for millions. And then, when I refused to pay them another dime, they murdered my old lady and our unborn son.

The only thing that has kept me going for the last few months is vengeance. I live and breathe for the day I’ll finally get my revenge.

Guilt eats away at me a little more with each day that passes until there’s nothing left of the man I used to be.

I’m ready for my dance with Destiny; to finally put an end to the suffering.

But there are two sides to every story.

And it turns out that Destiny may have a few secrets up her sleeve, secrets that will actually give me something worth living for again.

REVIEW: TORIN is the third instalment in the contemporary, adult SAVAGE KINGS MC erotic, MC romance series focusing on the members of the Savage Kings MC, co-authored by Lane Hart and DB West. This is former MC president and widower Torin Fury, and exotic dancer Lexi Cruz’s story line. TORIN can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series in order especially book one –CHASE- for backstory and cohesion as Torin’s story line has been building throughout the series.

NOTE: If you have not read book one –CHASE- there may be some spoilers in my review.

Told from dual first person points of view (Torin and Lexi) TORIN follows the building relationship between former MC president and widower Torin Fury, and exotic dancer Lexi Cruz. Several months earlier Torin lost the love of his life, Kennedy, along with their unborn son in a drive-by shooting meant to send a message to the Savage Kings MC. Fast forward to present wherein Torin, after stepping down as the Savage Kings president, takes matters into his own hands, in an attempt to exact revenge against Hector Cruz-the leader of the local drug cartel-and the man ultimately responsible for the death of Torin’s wife and son. Enter exotic dancer and Hector’s daughter Lexi Cruz, and the woman with whom Torin will fall in love. What ensues is the building but acrimonious relationship between Torin and Lexi, and the potential fall-out as Lexi’s secret is revealed, and our heroine is targeted for information revealed.

Approximately one year earlier Lexi Cruz thought she found someone to love but that someone is the man currently out to destroy her life. Used as a pawn in her father’s deadly game of power and control Lexi would find herself on the run to keep secret the events about to change her life. Torin Fury is determined to end his life but first he wants to destroy Hector Cruz of the past. Killing Lexi Cruz is first and foremost on the top of his list but falling for the innocent beauty takes our hero by surprise.

The relationship between Torin and Lexi is an enemies to lovers, enemies who met on one prior occasion; an occasion that changed the direction of Lexi’s life. Torin wants nothing to do with Lexi until Lexi tells Torin the truth about their past, a truth that will change the direction of Torin’s life next. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters are colorful and charismatic. There is a rat in the clubhouse, and our heroine is about to reveal what she knows and why.

TORIN is a story of betrayal and vengeance; family and friendship; forgiveness and love. The premise is revealing and engaging; the characters are dynamic and charismatic; the romance struggles with preconceived notions. If you are a fan of the MC story line then I suggest you give Lane Hart and DB West’s SAVAGE KINGS MC a try.
