SAVAGE KIND OF LOVE just released on Friday, and is the third book in the "Prairie Devil's" series. Since it was the third, and I'm on this weird MC kick right now, I purchased copies of the first two books - OUTLAW KIND OF LOVE & NOMAD KIND OF LOVE. (Yup, my BOOCD - book order OCD - hit again.) I can say that each book can easily be read as standalone, as they are "self contained" and have no cliffhangers, aren't a serial, and aren't we all just loving that?!!!!? I know that I am! You do have some carry-over from book-to-book of characters, but the roles they play make it more of a situation where it offers you a "where they are now" type of scenario. Y'all know my thoughts on series, though - even if they are standalone, why WOULDN'T you want to read ALL the books in the series??When Maverick & June decide to continue on as Nomads, and the Prairie Devils want to make sure they have a presence in the area, Blaze is voted in as the President. Saffron is no longer dancing but is working two jobs trying to keep a roof over her & her Mom's heads, while her brother has disappeared -- only to show up wearing Grizzly patches. Saffron then has an "incident" (hey, I'm trying to keep the spoilers down here!) and calls on Blaze for help. As a result, the fragile truce that the Devils and the Grizzlies had is put to the test. I have to admit that this series is dark and gritty, but not to the point that it is depressing or pulls you down. There's lots of sex... lots of alcohol... and lots of violence (some against the women, too) -- but throughout it all, the love and solidarity that the Devils have for each other keeps the story from becoming a cesspool of sewage. Granted, I was gifted a copy of this book, but... Would I buy the next one? You betcha! (And I'm hoping it's Tank & Emma - just sayin', in case you're listening, Nicole!) Will I reread this series? Yup! Would I recommend this book/series? Duh! That's what I'm doing right now! ENJOY!!
