5+++ "Firefly" Stars!!!!

Ok. So I thought if I gave myself a little time after I finished reading this book, I'd have the right words for this review. But, it turns out that no amount of time will be enough. I haven't stopped thinking about this story or these characters since I closed my kindle two nights ago. I'm still absorbing SL's words and breathing Alexander and Sara Jane. It's as if I'm teetering in a place between the right here and now and I'm stuck here and there with all these emotions. My heart is full, but at same time also empty. I don't know how/when I'll move on from this epic story. And you know what? I'm more than perfectly fine with that.

I was out of my mind when I finished reading 'Savage' (first book in The Kingwood Duet). My heart was in my throat. My hands were on my head, fisting my hair. I had tears cascading down my face. I had trouble taking breaths. I couldn't for the life of me control my emotions. I was a mess, a complete and utter mess. I had endless questions. "What the heck just happened?" "Why is Jason there?" "NO! NO! She can't be. Is she?" "Please! She's not dead, right?" I needed answers, badly. I needed to know what was going to happen, even though I might not like the outcome.

'Savior' will have you on the edge of your seat. It will take you on a bumpy emotional ride. This book has so many twists and turns that it'll have your head spinning. It will answer all the questions you've been dying to have answered. You will get answers to questions you didn't even think to ask. Your jaw will drop to the floor at some of the revelations. Surprise after surprise after surprise.

Alexander and Sara Jane share such a deep connection that you think to yourself, nothing can possibly tear them apart. Their souls are entwined and their hearts were made to love one another. A love so strong can never be severed, right? There is always heartache in the corner. Waiting to clutch it's ugly hands on you. So, can a love so binding and addicting survive? Or will it suffer the most ugliest of fates?

SL Scott, I don't have words. You surpassed every single expectation. I can't even begin to tell you how completely in awe I am of you. The writing was out-of-this-world phenomenal! I lived and breathed this story. I got lost in the immensity that was Alexander and Sara Jane. These two characters will always hold a special place in my heart and soul. This duet is by far one of my absolute favorites and top reads of 2017.

I need all of you to read this duet. I've pushed books onto people, but nothing of this magnitude. I seriously need for everyone to listen. I implore you, please, please, please READ THIS DUET!

The end of Savage gutted me my heart and soul hurt for Alexander I just couldn't wait to get my hands on this but I was anxious.
It's so hard to not put spoilers in this review because everything i could tell you is a possible spoiler. Be prepared for the unexpected there are secrets huge secrets and twists that I never would have guessed in a million years.
My heart was pounding in hope and fear, I loved book one but this one was more emotional. The author has managed to convey every single emotion all the characters are feeling. I laughed I cried, I smiled I swooned, at times I forgot to breath such was the intensity of this book.
A fantastic conclusion to this duet, now my search is on to find a King to love me with such devotion ❤️

When I saw this on my tablet I immediately dug in because Savage left me devastated.

I devoured every word needing my questions answered. My emotions were on a rollercoaster, one minute crying, the next pissed off and wanting to b*tch slap someone.

Even though I felt for what "Alexander was going through at the same time I wanted to punch him for being an idiot!!! He trusted people that I felt he shouldn't have. And the secrets he kept from Sara WTH!!

Like I said I was going through too many emotions that by the end I wasn't sure how it was going to end. I'm still feeling a little twitchy from this.

S.L. Scott, you have outdone yourself with the sequel!!! You kept us on pins and needles trying to figure out how it would end. SO many twists, turns and secrets!! ~Kara, 5 Brilliant Stars

WOW, WOW, WOW!

I'm trying to gather my thoughts on what I want to say about Savior, the ending to this superbly written duet. What I can and will say is that is surpassed my expectations. We were left hanging at the end of Savage, so many secrets and heartfelt emotions. What will become of Sara Jane, Alexander, Chase, Cruise, and Shelly, the characters we've grown so attached to. They are family. They are deeply imbedded in our thoughts and hearts as we begin this journey again in Savior!

This is an intense read right from the start, filled with twists and turns you DO.NOT.SEE coming. You will be on the edge of your seat, hanging on every word S.L. gives you. The fierce and unwavering connection between Alexander and Sara Jane remains, but what continues to get in their way is his need for revenge. His past and need for answers continue to weigh him down and pull him in a direction Sara Jane, his Queen, doesn't want him to go. His need for truth and justice is the very thing that could tear them apart. They continue to fight this battle together, in search of peace and happiness for their future.

This duet is my favorite read by S.L. Her ability to pull you in to the story and not let go is amazing! This story is captivating, unexpected, raw and real. There is betrayal, pain, love and forgiveness. You will FEEL ALL THE FEELS! This is a fantastic journey and a beautiful love story you don't want to miss out on!

Savior, the pulse pounding follow up to Savage, the first book in the Kingwood duet, is as as much a tumultuous roller coaster of emotion as it is a suspenseful journey of violence, deceit and treachery. With twists and turns on every page, jaw dropping revelations at every turn, and moments so beautifully romantic they took my breath away, Savior was a perfectly chaotic sequel and I enjoyed every second.

This storyline is such a change of pace for SL Scott and I so enjoyed that. I never knew what to expect, the uncertainty and the long buried secrets kept coming until the very last page. This book was infuriating and sexy and twisted and I devoured it in one sitting. I love a story where a happy ending seems impossible, where the darkness and tragedy seem to outweigh the good. Stories like this make you feel so much, keeping the reader at the edge of their seat from beginning to end and Savior certainly did that for me.

The love story between Alexander Kingwood and Sara Jane Grayson is an exciting, heart stopping, suspenseful ride the entire way through. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this duet is a step outside the box for me. I let go of everything and just allowed this storyline to take me away. And it did. Once again, I was lost in the secrets and the lies and the decadent pleasure pain of not knowing how this would end. I embraced the chaos, this strange marriage between a Victorian romance novel and a modern day angsty contemporary love story. Somehow SL Scott just makes it all work. This satisfying sequel was the perfect way to round out this storyline and now I can't wait for Jason's story!

What a conclusion full of twists and turns, secrets revealed and anticipation. Savior continues where Savage left off and there is not a lot I can say to not spoil this except to expect the unexpected until the very end. I enjoyed this series very much, I found the plot different and unique with mystery and suspense driven by passionate and unmeasurable love between Sara Jane and Alexander. Hold on to your horses and enjoy the Kingwood ride.

I knew that I had to read this ASAP and in one day I did.

This story of Alexander and Sara Jane left me with a feeling of not wanting it to end. This amazing author knows how to really keep you turning page after page after page just so that you want to know where it starts and ends with them.

This amazing series will have you hating and loving the secondary characters from Cruise, Chad, Jason and Shelly but it'll also leave you in tears, deaths, angst, frustration, omg moments to WTF and twists that I never saw coming, so despite me wanting to detail every sector of this book but you know I won't spoil it, but trust me you'll be in Alexander Kingwood heaven for awhile lol *winks*

Again as I said before I do recommend this series.

Book Review For: Savior by S.L. Scott 'Savior' by S.L. Scott is Book Two in "The Kingwood Duet". This continues the story of Alexander and Sara Jane. Since this is a continuing story I do feel you need to read the previous book first. This book picks up where 'Savage' Book 1 left off. Alexander is dealing with what has happened to Sara Jane know that he would not be able to go on with his life if he doesn't have her. Sara Jane is dealing with physical issue and all the emotional turmoil that has been left . Sara Jane for a little while holds harsh feelings but these two are soul mates that can't be separated. I must say that I have truly enjoyed their story and Ms. Scott's writing.

5-stars badass beautifully-broken

"Only true love can reach the depths of a tortured soul."

I just about died waiting for the conclusion to The Kingwood Duet after the WTF? ending of the first book. I was so totally invested that I needed to know what happened because I couldn't get Savage out of my head. I kept replaying it over and over in my mind, wanting, wishing, worrying... waiting.

If you are reading this review, then you probably already read Savage, so you know that I can't tell you what happens. That mind numbing ending is right where Savior begins. You will relive it all over again. You will gasp and hold your breath, bite your nails and worry. You will read faster, turning the pages to get to the answer hoping it's the one your heart needs to resume beating.

Those people that you hate... you will hate harder. Those questions that need answers, you will get them. And they will blow your mind. That love that transcends time will be remembered and replayed. That bad boy that you fell in love with before, will take you even deeper and wreck you even more. Sleep. What is that? You won't be getting any of that until you turn the last page, because there will be no walking away from Savior once you start reading. And when you finish reading it, your mind won't turn off, it will keep churning with every revelation and declaration. Your heart will get a workout that you won't soon forget. And I guarantee, like me, you'll already be waiting for the next S.L. Scott masterpiece. The line forms here...

I was on pins and needles waiting for Savior. The gut wrenching ending to Savage ripped my heart out and left me empty inside. I was desperate for answers. My mind wouldn't stop spinning over Alexander and Sara Jane. I knew without a doubt the conclusion to The Kingwood Duet would be nothing short of a masterpiece!

S.L Scott left me gasping in shock and completely breathless with Savior! This is by far her best book to date! If not one of the most all consuming completely enthralling love stories I have read in my entire life! Scott's ability to capture you with this story was nothing short of phenomenal. In Savior you will FEEL ALL THE FEELS! The emotion charges and crackles from your kindle, straight into you heart. Its a perfectly spun web of overwhelming heartache, undevoted passion, and all consuming mystery. It's a roller coaster ride of twists and turns that leave your mind reeling over and over again. Believe me when I say you will not even see a fraction of whats to come coming.

SL Scott keeps you so consumed in the thrill and mystery that you crave that next page. It becomes a addiction to see what happens next for the characters we have come to love in Savage. The need for revenge continues to course like fire through the pages of Savior. Betrayal, pain, and forgiveness pull at your soul like a ocean tides. Alexander entrances you with his real, and downright captivating journey.

5 stars will never feel like enough for this duet, or Savior. Its everything the name promises it to be. A blinking Firefly of light to a darkly haunting love story!

*I voluntarily read a advanced copy!*

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

Savior is the second book in The Kingwood Duet from S.L. Scott. You must read the first book Savage to know what is going on in Savior.

Alexander Kingwood the IV has taken over the thrown of the billion dollar Kingwood Empire. People he thought he could trust aren't allies. They are his enemies. Everyone that he cares about is at risk. The time has come for sacrifices and decisions to be made. What is Alexander willing to do to protect the people he loves and will Sara Jane live or die?

Savior picks up right where Savage left off and boy oh boy what a ride it is. I swear I don't think a book has shocked me as much as this one has toward the end. Sara Jane and Alexander have a love like no two other people have ever had. They are so in love with each other and Alexander makes sure that his Firefly knows all the time that she saved him and that he is only himself when she is with him. Now though there are dangers on every corner for both Alexander and Sara Jane. He discovers so many things in the first book and those things that he tries to right now just might come back to bite him in the butt. I am so afraid of spoiling something so you just need to know that Savior is just as good as Savage and will have you reading just as fast as you can. There is so much that goes on in the book that it will keep you guess and then blow your mind when it is all revealed. It was so much fun to read and had me on the edge of my seat more times than not. I am still a huge fan of King and his Firefly and loved how much they loved and devoted of themselves to each other. It is a beautiful, epic, heart stopping story that you do not want to miss.

S.L. Scott has written an absolutely amazing duet. One that is so worth reading. It is a set of books that you will not soon forget and one that will have you reading well into the night. It is certainly a set of books that I will be reading again and again.

***I received an ebook copy in exchange for an honest review***

Holy. Crow.

Savior whipped my heart—and emotions—into a frenzy from the first page. With this book, Scott brings readers a heart-stopping, action-packed thrill ride of a story, filled with angst, passion, violence, and romance.

The connection between Alex and Sara Jane is even more prominent in Savior. Without giving away any spoilers (because hey, who likes those?), I will say that circumstances cause Alex to have to prove himself to Sara, and eventually he has to make the decision about what Alex he wants to be: the status-obsessed, big man Alex, or the Alex who Sara Jane can come home to every night.

Savior, like its predecessor Savage, kept me on the edge of my seat, white-knuckling my Kindle. I had absolutely no idea what direction Scott was going to take me in, no idea if she was going to grace readers with a happily ever after, or throw a huge, angsty ending on us. The twists and turns in the story were endless, but they fit perfectly and made the story even better.

This book is a beautiful mix of gut-wrenching action scenes and poetically beautiful romance. The Kingwood Duet is such a departure from what Scott typically writes, and she did an amazing job tackling this. I’ve read all of Scott’s work, and the two books in the Kingwood Duet are by far her strongest, most emotional and action-filled pieces of work yet.

I look forward to seeing what direction Scott will take us in next!

Savior gets the Wordaholic Must Read Seal of Approval.

Five stars to this book!

Savior by SL Scott is the second book in The Kingwood Duet. Savior is no standalone. You must read Savage, book one in the duet, first.
Savior picks up where Savage ends up.
Sara Jane returned to Alexander´s mansion and was ambushed, beaten, shot at and severely injured. Now she back from the hospital and tries to put her life back together. She wants a do-over with Alexander. But he´s suspiciously absent.
Alexander is devastated with the incidents and plots revenge- what else. He´s eaten by guilt, but he has to decide who he wants to be . A boy who plays king or a man.
In Savior Sara and Alexander come full circle.
This book is a epic mindfudge. Nothing is as it´s seems. Savior is full of unexpected twists and turns. There´s revenge, hate, healing, love and acceptance.
Savior is a dark romance and not for the faint of heart. I give 4 dark stars. Thank you SL Scott!

OMG! This book! What an ending to this duet! This series has a little bit of everything - it was like being on an emotional roller coaster!! Sometimes things in life aren't as they seem. Born into privilege, King has money and power. He feels invincible. He has it all and yet he has nothing. His heart is hardened and he needs retribution for the wrongs he has suffered. But love complicates his end goal. His heart wants what it shouldn't - it wants Sara Jane, and that may be his complete undoing. When he crosses paths with her, his heart begins to see something other than the revenge he has sought for years. But can his life be with her or will his need to find the truth end it all? This is a story of lies, pain, betrayal and greed. It is full of mystery and intrigue. But this is also a beautiful story of love and forgiveness. I loved it!❤️❤️

4,5. Que livro!!! Falar que adorei foi pouco. A autora foi fantástica, que reviravolta na história. Que amor maravilhoso.
Apenas achei a personagem principal sempre pensando o pior, isso ficou um pouco cansativo. Mas tudo foi esquecido pelo amor intenso deles. Muito intenso.
Vale a leitura demais.
Agora esperando ansiosamente por Jason.

I have no words. Emotionally charged, heartbreaking, shocking twists and turns I never saw coming.

Okay. It has literally taken me a week to get my thoughts together on this phenomenal story. I'm still reeling from the intensity that surrounds Alexander and Sarah Jane. Love knows no boundaries when it comes to your soulmate.

Lines are crossed. Loyalty is tested. Fate has intervened. This story will stay with me for a while.

Well, what can I say..... This blew me away. In Savage the love between Alexander and Sara Jane shone so bright, and that ending....... ***Spoiler alert***

We start Savoir immediately where Savage ended, with Alexander holding Sara Jane in his arms, in the car, on the way to the hospital, talk about being on the edge of my seat!

These two were really good together, they had individual secrets, but once pushed into a corner, those secrets get aired.

The journey we go on whilst finding out the reason why Alexander was so intent on finding the scum who murdered his mother, Madeline.

He did the honorable thing where his birth mother, April was concerned, and Sara Jane's intuition on her never was off kilter, she had her pegged and I was surprised when Alex didn't actually feel the same. Thankfully the truth comes out.

Ooh we lost Chad at the end of Savage, and his lost was felt by all, but the kind of man Chad was he was always going to drop everything to help a friend. I felt so sorry for Shelly she had every right to harbour her anger even if was mis-directed, but was relieved when she realised she was being mean.

Well Jason, the enigma that he was. The truth about the mysteriousness surrounding him, that was certainly a twist in the tale and he really was Sara Jane's friend even to Alex's chagrin. He really knew how to push Alex's buttons. Jason was looking out for Sara Jane whilst she was finding herself in the small town she made her home for a few short months.

Oh my goodness, about 65% in and BAMM!!! plot twist alert! Didn't see that coming, Alexander did however have a hidden strength, he was so stubborn but nothing was going to keep him from his Firefly. And what Cruise went through, what a friend, he really did have his friend's back.

Then we get to meet an amazing lady, with so much love and goodness it was nice to get a glimpse of this wonderful woman. And Neely, Alexander's housekeeper, I knew she was a good lady, she was always looking out for Alexander and Sara Jane.

This was a lovely conclusion to the duet, there were highs, lows, deceit, anger, frustration, there were even more secrets, hurt but Love and happiness was the front runner.

This keeps you turning the pages, needing to know what's gong to come next, hoping that the greater good is most definitely going to shine through.

Fantastic reading, all emotions lead to an exciting, thrilling suspense read!
