Title: Kick
Author: Carmen Jenner
Series: Savage Saints MC
Release Date: January 26th 2015
Synopsis
When I was ten, my father indoctrinated me into the family.
A brotherhood who would fight, protect, and give their lives for one another. A club whose ties ran thicker than blood, murkier than the dirt and grime that tainted my soul. Stronger than the bonds that connected me to my own family.
A band of brothers, where loyalty was kept and paid in a currency of blood.
When I was twenty-seven, I betrayed that brotherhood.
I’ve spent every day since running, avoiding paying back that debt.
My name is Daniel Johnson. I have betrayed everyone I ever loved.
And I’ll betray her too.
This is my story—if you’re screwed up enough to want to read it.
Warning: Kick contains graphic violence, profanity, drug use, and explicit sexual situations of a taboo nature. Intended for an 18+ audience only. Not intended for pussies.

Excerpt
I take a deep shuddering breath, close my eyes and stretch
my hand towards him. His touch is gentle this time, far more gentle than I’d
ever thought someone with so much uncontained violence to him could be.
“Spread your fingers,” he commands. I do, and he lifts the
roll of tape, presses the edge to my skin and begins winding it over my
knuckles. I close my eyes. The strident sound of it stretching out from the
roll makes me want to flee. It makes me want to run as far from his touch—from
any man’s touch—as I can possibly get.
The feel of the tape against my flesh, binding, holding,
is so much worse. I tug on my hand, but he won’t let go. My heartrate
skyrockets, and sweat beads erupt over my brow and upper lip. I’m in that room
again, struggling, screaming, trying to fight them off, and failing.
Biker knows it,
too. His dark eyes challenge, they dare me to run, but they also implore me to
stay. It’s ironic that the only thing keeping me here, keeping me grounded, is
the man who abducted me.
He holds my gaze. I don’t know exactly what is hidden in
his dark blue one, but it suffocates the panic within me, douses it like water
flooding flames. He bends his head to my hand. Taking the paper tape in his
mouth, he rips it with his teeth.
I still. I soften. His gaze doesn’t leave mine, not even
once. Not even when he starts in on my wrist, gently biting through each piece
of tape before pressing it down with his rough hands. I’m mesmerised by his
mouth, the piercing, and the soft, full lips. The light catches a silver chain
around his neck, something I’ve never noticed before—but then I try not to make
a habit of staring too closely at him. Not now, though. Now I watch every
twitch, every blink, every intake of breath, and every inch that is swallowed
up by his mouth moving closer to my flesh.

Review
Nope, not in Sugartown anymore, that's for sure.
"I'm not the hero in this story; I'm the motherfucking villain."
The story dealt with things that are very real but far away from us; they're part of a different world, an underworld.
MC life is not easy, not even for a club brat like Kick. He's had it bad and he lucked out with the lady of his dreams too, though I have to admit, I didn't actually feel the love between him and Lauren. I felt the connection, due to the shit they went through but that's it.
Anyway, moving along.
I felt the same connection between him and Indie, but not the love, the deep need to be together. I applaud Carmen for making Indie a strong heroine; one that, even though was broken, battered and bruised, she didn't stay down, but went after the sick bastards that wronged her.
And, as always, I seem to be more interested in the side characters, than main ones. Story of my life. Tank - sexy beast; the Prez.
So, I guess I liked the book and will read the others that will come.
3 1/2 - 4 stars.

Kick by Carmen JennerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I did not read the Sugartown books, so I went into this story 'blind' I guess you could say. Every character was starting at ground level for me. I must say this is a really gritty story. It definitely will not be for everyone. The author even has a note in the beginning stating that it will be a difficult story. I tend to love the damaged characters. Thus, Kick found his way into my heart.
Kick has had a terrible life. From the womb he has never had an easy go at anything. I just don't even know how the poor guy is still standing. He seeks no sympathy for how he is either. I actually think he puts himself in a category for people who are terrible when really he isn't. He blames himself for not being the hero. He's really just a broken person, a survivor, not a truly bad man.
the fucked up ones gravitate towards each other like magnets. Darkness doesn't seek out the light. It smothers the light, and it revels in the light's death. And there is nothing more dangerous than darkness that doesn't have an outlet.
Enter Indie. She was a person in 'the light' but not now. Indie went through total hell. This isn't easy stuff to read, but it makes you feel. Indie and Kick are just two pieces of matter floating around in their fucked up world. The question is can they help each other?
The writing was excellent. This storyline is like none I remember. Often I get MC books confused with each other. There will be no danger of that here. This story knocked me for a good one. I definitely will continue with the series. And I want to add that I appreciate Kick, a guy who is attracted to the women who are damaged. In most reads the bad boy has a chick that's all his, a sweet one breaks through his shell. Kick likes the whores, the losers, the ones who've been molested and gang raped, the ones most men wouldn't get near.
4 to 4.5 twisted stars
