Title: Tank (Savage Saints MC #2)
Author: Carmen Jenner
Genre: Adult/Dark Romance
Publication Date: September 24th 2015
Plot: Killer. Criminal. Sociopath.
All of these words have been used to describe me, and for the longest time I believed that that’s all I was.
I’m the man you call in to clean up your mess, assuming your mess is a guy who needs a bullet to the head. I’m the man the MC calls when they want their dirty work done.
I’m the man who doesn’t feel.
Until now.
Until her.
Now my mess is a woman who won’t save herself. I’ll fight like hell to save her, but at what price to the club? And at what cost to me?
Warning: TANK contains graphic violence, profanity, drug use, and explicit sexual situations that may be a trigger and cause some readers emotional discomfort. Intended for an 18+ audience only. Not intended for pussies.

☆✮ My Review ✮☆
☆ I received an ARC via Give Me Books in exchange for an honest review. Thank you! ☆
Tank, much like Kick, is not for the faint of heart. Your limits will be pushed and your illusions of a knight in shining armor will be construed…a whole lot.
Tank will do anything for his club and his brothers. That includes being ruthless and being a cold blooded killer and lethal murderer.
Ivy is one of the club whores who is drowning in her old demons. With a heavy past filled with nothing but heartbreak and misery, she submits herself to the bleak succumbing that there is no light at the end of the tunnel for her.
That is, until, Tank comes along and gives her (and himself) another sense of reality and shot at life.
Both of these characters are very troubled and conflicted as each don’t come from humble abodes. They’re raw, gritty, tainted, and sometimes make irrational decisions; but somehow, this is how they form this irreparable bond that completes one another in an off seen way.
This book isn’t a walk in the park. It has graphic and unseemly situations that may turn your head and your moral compass.
I was definitely enthralled and taken aback by the no holds barred nature of it and the emotional integrity it invoked in it!! Riveting stuff, this Carmen Jenner creates in that crafty head of hers!!
So glad that this book did not ‘tank’ in my expectations of it!!

☆✮ Excerpt ✮☆
When we return to the cabin Ivy goes to her room to sleep and I put the groceries away that we’d picked up after breakfast, and then I head to the gym to work out. I’m three rounds in to hitting the bag when I turn and see her sitting in the corner of the room. Her thin jumper is stretched over her knees as she balls herself up.
“Thought you were sleepin’?”
“I don’t sleep well,” she confesses, and her eyes are dark and shadowed. “It’s part of detoxing. Restless legs. And I still hear it, you know? The sound of his heavy boots thudding on the stairs, the locks, and the creak of the door. When you’re faced with that every night, you kinda train yourself to sleep lightly.”
I slam my fists into the bag and then lean my forehead against it. “Give me a name, Ivy.”
She gives me a sad smile. “Can’t do that.”
“Why are you still afraid of him? You don’t need to be afraid anymore. You’re in my house. Under my protection—under the club’s protection. He can’t ever get to you.”
“I’m not afraid for me. I’m afraid for anyone who gets too close to me.”
I unwind the hand wraps from my fists and walk over to her side of the room. She’s already on her feet, ready to flee.
“Have I ever given you reason to doubt me? To doubt that I could protect you?” I say, pressing my hand to the middle of her chest and pinning her to the wall. Beneath my hand, her heart beats like the rapid thrum of a hummingbird’s wings. She’s so fragile, and I feel that with the sick sense of nausea of someone who wants to both hurt her and soothe her all at once. She makes me so fuckin’ crazy.
“What do you want from me, Tank?” she whispers.
I trail my rough hands over soft, milky skin, up to her neck where I grasp the base of her skull in my hands. Time and time again, I keep coming back to this place. To this thought: It would be so easy to take what I want from her. But I can’t, because nothing worth fightin’ for ever came easy.
I want her submission. I want her heart. I want her to look at me and not wish I were someone else. More than anything though, I want to rid her of the belief that to love is to hurt, to feel pleasure is to hurt. And I want to wring my hands around her bastard father’s neck for making her believe it is. I want to squeeze the life from him and savour the sound of his last breath rasping through his clenched teeth.
That’s what I want.
