Kick
Savage Saints MC Series- Book 1
Release Date: January 26, 2015
By Carmen Jenner
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, and I have betrayed everyone I ever loved.
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.

Exceprt
I pick up a cup of cold, stale, black coffee and chug it down. It tastes like shit, so I screw the cap off of a bottle of Jack and chase the black filth with the burn of amber. I set it back on the table while the familiar click of my gun being cocked echoes through my small room. I laugh. Fucking ballsy bitches make me hot.
“Hands in the air, and turn around. Slowly,” the woman says through a scratchy throat. I do as she asks, mostly because I want to keep my spine intact, but also partly because bitches with guns are fucking hot, and I’m hard as a rock just thinking about the way she’s gonna look with a pistol trained on me.
She’s been busy while I was out, rummaging through my drawers and finding a pair of loose tracksuit pants. They’re rolled at the waist, so much that it makes her look pregnant. That, combined with her crazy fuckin’ cat lady hair and the filth covering her body, makes her look like a homeless person.
I smile and clasp my hands behind my head. Her eyes rove over me, taking in my size. She’s checking me for the arsenal I so obviously have stashed away in my fucking worn, faded jeans. She’s not checking me out and dreaming about me taking her rough and hard on my fucking scratched-up dining table, but I still get a fucking boner out of having her eyes roam all over me.
“Pick up the keys, and open the door,” she commands.
“If you run, they’ll shoot you.”
“Pick up the fucking keys.”
I snatch up the keys and lob them at her, hard enough that she has to twist out of the way. She cries out as she does, proving to me that her ribs are definitely injured, maybe even cracked. I lunge at her. Shoving her back against the bed, I land on top of her, warding off her blows with one hand and squeezing her wrist with the other until she drops the gun on the floor.
“Get off me!” she screams.
“You’re not leaving this clubhouse,” I whisper in her ear as she struggles beneath me. “The best you can hope for is to play nice and I might decide to keep you as a house mouse. But if you piss me off, and if you pull on me with my own gun again, your life will be so much worse. You thought the dentist was fucked up? Baby, you haven’t seen anything until you’ve lived inside my fantasies for a day. So if I were you, I’d be really fuckin’ careful about how you play your next move.”
Michel’s Review
Warning: This book is full of graphic violence, graphic scenes, and rape. It is not a light read. Recommended for 18 or older.
Kick is the first book in the Savage Saints MC series by Carmen Jenner. This series begins with one of the characters we briefly met in the first book of the Sugartown Series. This character, Daniel Johnson, otherwise known as Kick, was an old friend and former club brother to Elijah Cade. Kick killed another Hell’s Angel brother in order to help Elijah escape execution. What he did was seen as a betrayal to the club. It was the catalyst that led Kick’s life to the point where he is now. He is a member of the Savage Saints MC after betraying the Hell’s Angel. He was part of their slaughter. But that was after he paid the ultimate price for betraying the club. He watched the only woman he ever loved be destroyed by the Hell’s Angels. Death would of been better than what he has lived through.
Kick has lived his whole life within the MC world. He doesn’t know anything different. Crime, violence, drugs, and hard living are the only thing he knows. He accepts who he is and tries to live with the demons that haunt him. He isn’t looking for redemption. He isn’t looking for peace. He’s just existing.
When he saves a woman from execution because she was a victim of his club’s enemies, it seems that he is on a repeat of the past. This time he is going to try to change the fate of one woman. A fate he couldn’t change in the past.
By saving this one woman it opens up a whole new hornets nest for the club. The woman they rescued was being held captive by enemies disguised as upright citizens in their community. Men that are doing things that are much worse than the violence the Savage Saints sees daily. Kick has brought these men to the Savage Saints doors.
This one act not only brought trouble to the club, it brought Kick back to life. He slowly learns that even he has a soul. He learns that he can love and care for someone again. He learns that there is more to him as a man and club brother.
Kick is enthralling. I couldn’t put it down. It was a very dark story that had a lot of violence and pain. It couldn’t be any other way. It was the very essence of Kick’s life. No matter if he is good or bad, he is a man, a man that deserves to give and receive love.
I highly recommend this book. It is great start to the new Savage Saints MC series.
