Title: Incandescent (Knights Rebels MC, #1)
Author: River Savage
Publication Date: August 9th 2014
Plot: Phoenix ‘Nix’ Knight thought pulling his club out of the illegal shit his Pops got them into was difficult.
Until he meets Kadence.
Kadence Turner has no business lusting over a student’s father, especially the president of the Knights Rebels MC. Nix is crass, obnoxious and dangerously sexy and for some reason, Kadence can’t seem to hate him for it. The bossy biker breaks down her defenses, but unlike the old Kadence, the woman she is today won’t give in without a fight.
The tension is undeniable, the attraction fierce. A man that wants what he wants and a woman that will fight him every step of the way.

Incandescent was a really great start for this new MC series!!
I thoroughly enjoyed the dynamics of a prim yet damaged school teacher meets leather-wearing motorcycle hottie-- and how their relationship progressed there on.
I mean, with Kadence being the well-esteemed and respected educator of Nix’s young son? And how her involvement with Nix alone could possibly affect her? And perhaps, even her career? Was quite the conundrum in itself.
You see, Kadence has an ugly past that has left her horribly scarred and reluctant to get involved with another man after the poignant betrayal of her ex.
Now when Knights Rebels MC’s president takes an interest in her, it’s a lot of push and pull as Kadence will not bow down to Nix’s advances without a fight nor some feisty jibs in between. She turns him down and challenges him at every turn making his resolve to have and possess her strong and his lust burn hotter.
Over all, a fantastic series debut, although I would have liked more inclusion of Nix’s son, Z, throughout the entirety of the novel, as well as the general community’s response to seeing a teacher and a MC club’s romantic courtship with one another. While I get that Nix’s club is for the most part revered within the town community, it is not always highly looked upon for a teacher and someone of that occupation such as Nix to be mixing; thus, causing some huge humbug over Kadence teaching adolescent pupils. Hmm, maybe some of it will be covered in their novella, Reclaimed? Or possibly even in Affliction,?... if they do appear in that novel that is!
Anyway, that all said, can’t wait for Holly and Sy’s story!!

☆✮ Excerpt ✮☆
Resting the cold beer between my legs to soothe
the ache, the boys give me shit for striking out. I feel the same way: the
woman is a tough nut to crack.
“You ready for round two, Prez?” Beau smirks
behind his beer. Turning my head, I watch as Kadence storms over. I groan as my
broken dick comes to life, apparently not caught up with the news that she
doesn’t like him. She stands at the end of the table, arms crossed over her
chest, unaware that her position puts her sexy tits up on display.
Fuck, this woman is a tease.
“Hey, sweetheart,” I say before taking a sip of
my beer.
“Don’t sweetheart me. What did you say to my
date?” she snaps, anger clear on her face, and I’ve never seen a more beautiful
look on her. Her eyes blaze with fire and the need to push her more fills me. I
can’t wait to have her under me.
“Oh, the stiff?” I ask nonchalantly. “Just told
him to run along; he didn't have what it takes to play with the big boys,” I
say as some of the brothers laugh into their drinks.
I’ve never pushed a woman this far before;
chasing her and teasing her feels so damn good. Something about her pushes my
buttons and leaves me wanting more. Most women fall at my feet begging to get
in, but Kadence? No, this woman makes me want to do the begging. I’ve never
wanted to fuck a woman so hard while spanking her ass at the same time. The way
she reacts to me makes my dick hard and God help me, getting her riled up is a
sight to see. I can see it in her eyes; she’s fighting it. She wants me and I
intend to give the lady what she wants.
“What do you want, Phoenix?” she demands,
uncrossing her arms and assuming a relaxed position, but I’m not stupid. The
woman is crazy mad and I’ve got a throbbing dick to prove it.
“What do I want?” I repeat her question, pausing
to take another pull on my beer. “Well, after your little stunt in the
bathroom, I wanna pull you down on this table and spank your ass,” I tell her calmly.
Even though my balls are aching, my cock is pulsing.
“You disgust me,” she hisses and turns to walk
away. I grab onto her hand, turning her my way. She tries to pull out of my
grasp, but my hold on her is strong.
“You don’t mean that. I’ve seen the way your
eyes flash. You would love for me to spank that sexy ass right here for
everyone to see. Wouldn’t you?” Embarrassment floods her cheeks, and for a
beat, I think I might have pushed her too far.

Affliction is the second installment of the Knight Rebels MC series and focuses on odd couple out, Sy and Holly.
Sylas “Sy” Dean’s world crumbled the day he lost his daughter and felt the utter betrayal of his wife.
Now years later, admist the darkness and with no hope of reprieve, he finds his light, his redemption—Holly.
Holly, is Kadence’s from bk1’s bestie, who is also struggling to keep her head above water. After the attack on her and Kadence, that nearly cost Holly her own life, Holly struggles with her unconventional and budding relationship with brooding biker and tattoo shop owner Sy and her in kept secret from him that may tear them apart.
Will these two find solace and absolution in each other? Can they make ends with the past to pave way to their future? Or will it drag them into under into oblivion?
A wonderful follow up installment! I was totally enthralled with Holly and Sy and felt for their gut-rearing plights! So tragic!
By far, I think this was the most emotionally charged and by far the best of this series by author River Savage!
I can’t wait for more from this series, and will look forward to Jesse and Beau’s stories as well! So, so excited!

Nix and Kadence are back! Along with some Knights Rebels babies in the mix! ♥
Reclaimed takes place post Incandescent and Affliction.
It was satisfying as it was heartbreaking, as both Nix and Kadence find themselves in a funk.
Suffering from post-partum depression, Kadence is feeling lost and not like her spunky, fiery self.
Nix, being our hot biker daddy who without doubt is head over heels for his gal, will do anything to get the old Kadence he fell in love with back.
These two really go through the ringer in this one as they battle to reclaim what brought them together but also to grasp a hold of themselves once more.
I really enjoyed the vulnerability and the realistic-ness of what both Nix and Kadence delivered to the table as not every love is always smooth sailing and happily ever after. It has its ups and downs; it has bumps in the road. Persevere, hold on and never stop trying if that person is really worth the fight and tears.
Wonderful novella!

“What the fuck are you doing in my club?” he asks again, moving
his body closer.
“Your club?” I ask, raising my brow. “Last time I checked, I came
here with my best friend, not to see you, so if you’ll excuse me,” I say,
trying to push off the wall, but he steps right in, his knee coming between my
legs.
“You gonna fuck him?” he growls, his eyes growing angrier by the
second.
“Maybe,” I tell him, knowing he’s talking about Jesse. “I wonder
if he will leave me standing naked after a quick fuck up against the wall,” I
continue. His hold on me gets tighter. I know I shouldn’t tease him with my
words, but he’s seriously delusional if he thinks he has any claim over me.
“I knew you were a tease, but I didn’t know you wanted to be a
club whore,” he replies, and I try not to let his words sting.
“Are you done?”
“Are you?” he counters.
“You left me standing there. I didn’t fucking do anything. What
are you so angry about?”
“You coming into my club, throwing yourself at one of my
brothers.”
“Jeez, get over yourself, Sy. Jesse was just showing me around the
place. And if I decide I want to have sex with him, or anyone else for that
matter, I’ll do what I want. You don’t fucking own me. You had me, fine, but it
was mediocre at best, so keep your hands off me,” I snap, trying to get out of
his hold.
“Mediocre?” he repeats back to me. I’m so pissed at his attitude I
don’t falter in repeating it.
“At best.”
“Didn’t feel like that when your cunt was gripping my cock like a
vice,” he throws back, his words causing my pussy to throb.
“That’s called pelvic floor muscle exercises,” I say, ignoring my
body’s response to having him so close.
“Right,” he whispers, leaning further into me, “and what about
when I dragged my tongue through that sweet pussy of yours, and lapped up your
juices dripping from you?” he questions. It takes everything in me not to
respond. “Now that I think about it, when you walked into my shop, all pissed
off, you were walking like you had been fucked so hard. Did you feel me for
days, sweetheart?” he continues, pushing into me further. “I bet your pussy is
aching for me now, isn’t it, Holly?” he asks, his lips so dangerously close to
my neck.
Fuck me. Two seconds ago I hated the man, and now I’m trying to
squeeze my thighs together to stop the ache coming from my lady parts.
“Too bad you won't find out,” I counter, staying strong. I might
want him more than anything, but he is still an ass.
“I don’t even need to touch you to find out. It’s written all over
your face, Holly.”
“Whatever, Sy. Let me go.”
“You know I’m right. You’re so fucking turned on right now and so
frustrated you’re not going to get any relief,” he teases, telling me what I
already know.
“There’s always Jesse,” I threaten, trying to get a reaction from
him.
“Like fuck,” he spits out, pushing his hard cock against me.
“You’re not gonna let that fucker touch you. Do you understand me? None of my
brothers will taste your pussy. Do you hear me?” His hand runs up my leg,
running along my short denim skirt and finding the outside of my panties. A
small gasp leaves my lips at his feather-light touch. “This sweet pussy belongs
to me. I fucking had it first. Now, it’s mine.”
“No, it’s not,” I fight back, but my mind is too busy memorizing
each lazy stroke of his finger over my lace panties.
“It will be again,” he warns before taking my mouth hard,
suppressing me with his tongue. His fingers pull my panties aside, slipping in
and dancing over my aching heat.
“Shit,” I breathe against his lips, forgetting where I am for a
moment. Forgetting we can’t stand each other.
“You want relief, Holly?” he asks as my hips start to ride the
rhythm of his talented fingers.
“Yes, give it to me, Sy,” I plead, feeling myself build with each
flick of his finger.
“Say please,” he demands, slipping his thick finger inside of me.
“Please, Sy,” I cry out as he pumps me harder.
“That’s it, girl. Fuck my finger,” he growls. The heat of his
voice causes goose bumps to break out on my skin. A wave of impending bliss
washes over me, and then my orgasm hits, hard and fast.
“Sy,” I hiss, but don’t get anything else out as his tongue is
dancing with mine again, muffling my shouts of ecstasy. His taste reminds me of
beer, mint, and all things Sy. He latches onto my tongue, sucking it hard into
his mouth, sending pleasure and pain rolling through my body.
Fuck, this man is dangerous with his bad-boy attitude, his sexy as
hell dirty mouth and his ability to take me on the highest of highs in less
than a minute. He slows the kiss, lingering for a moment before resting his
forehead on mine. This right here is why this man is dangerous: bringing me
apart in the middle of the club, and making me forget I hate him. Removing his
fingers, he brings them to his mouth and sucks them clean.

“I don’t know what you want from me,” I whisper. Communication was
never this hard. The distance growing further between us as each day passes
makes me afraid that this is what we’ve become.
“I just want to bring you happiness, baby,” he sighs, but before I
can tell him I don’t think he can, Harlow’s cries come through the monitor. I
move off the bed to go to her, knowing she will need to be fed.
“You walk out of this room, Kadence, you walk out on me.” His cold
tone stops me from moving any further. It’s the same tone he used in the
bathroom. “Leave her,” he commands, but the thought of continuing this
conversation, where we tear each other down, has me fighting him.
“Nix, I have to check on her.” I continue to the door.
“Don’t you dare leave this fuckin’ room. I’m important too. I’m
your fuckin’ husband. Do you hear me? We are important.” His hand sweeps across
his nightstand, causing one big crash that sends everything tumbling to the
floor. I’m frozen in place, my hand resting on the door handle. The room is
silent. The shock of what has gone on tonight so raw I don’t think either of us
knows how to process it.
“I don’t know what you want from me,” I repeat, closing my eyes
when Harlow’s cries grow louder, sending my anxiety rising. Doesn’t he know
he’s only making it worse?
“Jesus, I don’t know. Give me a look, smile at me…fuckin’ touch
me. Give me a connection that says we’re on the same fuckin’ side. I can’t
continue to stay in this place we are in. I’m drowning here, Kadence. We both
are, and I just don’t know if I can keep treading water for both of us. You
have to help me, baby. You have to want us to survive.” He falls to the bed,
his head dropping to his hands. Seeing him like this, in this state makes me
realize that our situation is bigger than me, than him. It’s bigger than either
one of us realize.
“That’s not fair.” I release the handle and turn, collapsing
against the wall. The wind knocks out of me as his words resonate within me. We
are drowning and I have to stop fighting. At this realization, my knees become
weak. Standing becomes too hard. I slide down the wall, dropping my ass to the
carpet.
“Life isn’t fair, Kadence. I wish it was, but it just isn’t. Look
where we both have come from; look where life has taken us. We won’t survive if
you won’t talk to me, Kadence. Talk to someone.” He stands to come to me, but
having him in my space only makes things worse.
“Please don’t.” I draw in a breath, defeated. His frustration and
concerns only prove what a bad mother I’ve been, what a bad wife I’ve become.
“Don’t what, Kadence? Don’t make me walk away. I
want my wife back. I don’t know what’s happened, but I don’t like who you’ve
become.” His voice is pained, as broken as my soul feels. His confession
doesn’t surprise me, but it still burns. I know I don’t like who I’ve become.
How do I expect Nix to like me?
“You don’t think I ask myself that question every day? That I
don’t look at myself and ask what is wrong with me? I don’t know who I’ve
become, Nix. All I know is I should. I should know who I am.” My head thuds
against the wall in defeat. I can’t keep going on like this. I can hear
Harlow’s cries quietening, as she resettles herself, but that doesn’t stop me
from wanting out of this room.
“I know who you are, Kadence. You’re the woman I love. The most
amazin’ mother to our daughter, our son.” Saying Z is my son pulls at me
harder. The fact that he, too, is affected by what is happening hurts even
more. Nix walks over and squats to my level, careful not to get into my space,
but close enough for me to reach out and touch him if I wanted to.
“Why don’t I know that? I should know that Nix.”
“You don’t have to know. I know, the kids know and that’s enough.”
“It’s not enough for me.” My hand itches to touch him, to feel his
hardness under my fingers, but sitting broken on the floor of our bedroom, I
know I can’t. I can’t touch the man who means everything to me and I hate
myself for it.
“When did you stop trustin’ yourself?”
“I don’t know. When did I stop being myself?” I counter, and my
admission halts him for a moment. He crawls forward, coming closer into my
space. His warmth, his calming presence wraps itself all over me.
“The first step is askin’ for help, baby. Let me help you. You
don’t have to be alone. Let me learn to breathe the ugliness you see. Let me
share the darkness, Kadence. Just don’t push me away.” His pleading pulls at
me, pulls at the hatred that has settled inside.
“I’m not doing good, Nix,” I say, looking up and giving him what
he needs. What I need. “Somewhere along the way, I woke completely lost and
overwhelmed. And every day, it gets harder and harder to deal.” A sob tears
from deep within me, and walls I’ve been hiding behind crumble down.
“I know, baby.” He pulls me into the hardness of his chest. “We’re
gonna be okay,” he promises, and everything in me wants to believe him.
Everything in me wants to trust he has me. That he has us. But the truth is,
I’ve drowned in so much self-doubt and uneasiness, that trust seems so far
away.
