Everything changed two years ago. Evelyn Young was only eighteen when she agreed to marry an outlaw biker. There was no other way for her to pay the medical bills her mother was accruing, so she said goodbye to her longtime best friend Cedric Crawford and ran away with the bad boy. Not a day goes by that Evelyn doesn’t miss her old life with Cedric. The only way she survives with an abusive … with an abusive spouse is by reminding herself that her mother is still thankfully fighting for her life.
Evelyn never thought she would ever see Cedric again; but while she was busy popping pills to stay numb, Cedric’s been making plans.
Big plans.
When Cedric finally comes back into Evelyn’s life, he’s no longer the sweet, innocent boy she left behind. He’s a heck of a lot bigger with sexy tattoos and a brand-new leather cut – a symbol of the badass man he’s become.
Not a man but a Savage King.
And a King will do whatever it takes to save his Queen.

Wow! What an end to this amazing series! Although I am sad to see it go, (but excited about what may come next) this last one truly epitomizes the brotherhood.
Once loyalty and trust is earned by this MC, they will back you no matter what. And that’s what they do for Cedric. After working his rocks off as a prospect, he gets patched in and puts into motion his plan to get his girl back. The path to true love does not run smooth and Evelyn has demons to fight, but Cedric is determined to fight them with her.
3 1/2 Stars
If not for Cedric, I’m not sure how I would have rated this MC drama/romance.
He was the epitome of an epic hero as he relentlessly fought for his HEA with Evelyn.
I really loved the way the author had him pretty much give up his life to save Evelyn and her mother.
Evelyn was not someone I could rally behind as she made disastrous decisions again and again. Even up till the eleventh hour, she continued to make bad choices.
I am glad that the author was able to give them a satisfying HEA at the end for Cedric’s sake.

It’s been a while since I had a book from these two and from these series that I love so freaking much.
Their books hold a big piece of my heart and I always want more.
Lane Hart and DB West created this MC series that I really love… Love… And of course, being an MC… You know that I’m addicted to this genre.
Cedric is the from the Savage Kings MC and you must read the other books from this series first. Trust me… You’ll love them.
This new book explores the lives of Cedric and Evelyn.
Cedric has a heart bigger than the world and 90% of it belongs to Evelyn. He loves her but he can’t ruin their friendship telling her his true feelings.
The day the left his life he made a vow…
Evelyn has a horrible life since the day she decided to marry her husband to help her mom.
By doing so, she left her best friend behind and committed to living a life full of pain and so much more…
This book just mailed it. Another freaking awesome story to keep my love even bigger.
Superb plot, very well written, super engaging and intense.
It was one brutal chapter after the other… Dayum…
We have some intense scenes but also some hot stuff too.
It was marvelous to have news from the other characters from this series.
And it’s over… I don’t know if I’m happy or if I’ll cry my eyes out…
Hey… Don’t make any conclusions yet. Let me explain.
I’m freaking happy because this book was another masterpiece and each chapter grabbed my attention…
But I’m so sad and want to cry because this series is over.
It was 12 books… 12…you hear me right. 12 books full of sassiness, drama, hot stuff, crime, punishment, loyalty, but first of all, and the more important thing, it was the theme each book approached.
We saw domestic violence, abuse, rape, substance abuse and violence in the general.
It was brutal the way these authors exploded each theme and make each and everyone aware of these things.
Lane and DB… Shay can I say that I haven’t said before?
Nothing, I guess. But I can say again that you guys rock and have created one of my favorite series of all times.
I can’t wait for what’s about to come… I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Cedric is another belter from Lane Hart and DB West. As with all the other Savage Kings Cedric has his story and just like the rest it is great.Fantastic characters that you fall in love with and one or 2 that make you clench your fists and grind your teeth at.
Absolutely consumed me from the start as with all the other books in this series.
Another Savage Kings MC story, this time we get to be front and center when Cedric brings his queen home. Evelyn and Cedric have a past. When Evelyn’s Mom needs medical care and the bills start stacking up, Evelyn marries for money and leaves Cedric behind. Cedric is still around but not always seen by Evelyn until one day, he let’s her see him and is ready to start his plans. This is book twelve in the series and it has been a wild ride so far.

Complicated 4 ½ stars – Relationship status: Complicated. This has a very good story about Cedric and Evelyn. Conflict isn’t simple. Even after their second chance, the damage done by Mason lingered. There are crude and violent scenes as well as very steamy sex. [I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]
Loved the story from start to finish. You get to meet Cedric and Evelyn at a young age and hear ho they grow to adults. You will have a lot to pay attention to in this book from puppy love to real love. Finding and fighting for that love and helping his love fight an addiction.

** spoiler alert ** Since they were 10, they have been friends. 2 years ago, she had to make a choice. Will he save her in time? Will she be able to overcome what she has suffered?
I loved how these two had built a foundation before they actually became anything. I absolutely loved Cedric’s character and how he was loyal and determined to do whatever it took to save and love her. I didn’t blame her for her problems, but loved seeing her finally hit rock bottom and become determined to save herself. Good read!
This is a story of Gabe and Ian. Ian went to jail for 4 years. Gabe has always had a secret crush on Ian but being a savage kings MC. it was hard. This was a great read with intrigue and twist and turns. I highly recommend it

Lane Hart and D.B. West definitely saved the best for last!! Cedric’s story absolutely broke my heart especially because of the circumstances that Evelyn found herself in due to helping someone very special to her.
Lane Hart and D.B. West truly know how to pull the emotions from your soul and make your heart ache for these characters. While I am sad that this is the final book for the original Savage Kings charter. I’m thrilled to see what else two wonderful authors come up with next!!
This is the 12 th book in this standalone MC series. It is about Cedric and Evelyn. the story line has danger conflict and drama.

Remarkable job guys, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
I did not realize that this would be the last book in the Savage Kings MC Book Series so in that respect I am very sad. However, this book just gave me happy feelings because I loved the characters of Cedric and Evelyn. He has been such a sweet man (oops, he hates being called that) since the moment he met Evelyn at the start of their great love story. When Cedric made the shell bracelet for Ev after just meeting her and add to the fact that from that moment off she never took it off was just the sweetest (oops, there it is again, sorry Cedric) thing I’ve read in a while. These two went through so much that I dare anyone to not root for them with every turn of the page! Thanks Lane Hart and D.B. West for ending this series with such a fantastic story. Now I can’t wait until the next series so I can begin my love story with all the new characters your creative minds will create for all your dedicated readers.
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and totally voluntary review.
The final book in the Savage Kings MC is definitely not a disappointment! Cedric and Evelyn met when they were ten and became best friends, when they were eighteen Evelyn desperately needed money for her moms medical care so she married a very bad man and left Cedric behind. For two years Cedric works toward one goal getting Evelyn back! This book is my favorite of The Savage Kings, well worth five stars!
I’m so sad to see this series come to an end but it couldn’t have ended with a better couple! I was never a fan of MC books but after this series I’m definitely a fan. Cedric and Evelyn’s story was about young love, second chances and fighting for what you want. This story was filled with some jaw-dropping twists that had me holding my breath for what was to come and absolutely delivered with so many feels! If you love a great MC read this series is one I highly recommend!
We have to say that we really enjoyed this entire series and its characters and one of our favorite MC Romance series. Cedric was one of those characters that made it so easy to fall in love with and we loved him from the moment that we met him.
Cedric was a loving and caring soul who was kind and compassionate and so easy going and a man who once he gave his heart to another would do everything and anything he had to do to get the love of his life back in his arms once again.
Evelyn was one of those characters that I needed to warm up to and I am not even sure I really liked her at all.Evelyn was one of those characters I just felt was undeserving of a friend like Cedric as well as his love for her.Once meeting Evelyn we new right of the bat she would break hearts and at first she she seemed to be and bit snooty and then a reckless girl who had a thing for bad boys and picked one worst then the next. I realize some of Evelyn behavior stemmed from what was going on in her family and the challenges she faced but, it seemed that she continues to make one bad choice after another and once those choices were made and she couldn’t handle them she just wanted to check out from life itself only doing the bare minimum.On a positive note we loved the fact that she went to great lengths on her mothers behalf.
This story was an emotional one especially for Evelyn and Cedric as well.Cedric is what really made me enjoy the story the most he was just a sweetheart and every move he made and the choices he made were with Evelyn and her mother always in mind and he was willing to see that both of them were taking care of and went to great lengths to see it so and that’s why I think this is why Evelyn just kept rubbing me the wrong way and why I never grew fond of her because Cedric always put her first and when the first opportunity she had she betrayed his trust and that of his brother and his club when in truth they were her only saving grace.Though-out the story I had question the actions of the mother wondering did she ever look to the welfare of her only child and what those choices were costing her ?
When reading a story like this it is hard to remember that this story is fictional one and we love a good story about self sacrifice and love and the lengths one is willing to go for a loved one and I think that I would have really loved Evelyn had we saw her do just that but, she started out so early seeing her reckless behavior and bad choices making me realize are those choices and sacrifices she is willing to make really just about her mother or just and excuse to keep self sabotaging herself ? Cedric’s choices were all about love and every King needs his Queen and we loved being on his journey that was wrought with tons of obstacles and a bit of pain and a whole lot of determination as it made for an interesting story that overall had a cast of interesting and love-able characters as those Kings are so easy to love each and every one of them and the women who have chosen them.
3.75 stars-CEDRIC is the twelfth instalment in Lane Hart and DB West’s contemporary, adult SAVAGE KINGS MC erotic, MC romance series focusing on the members of the Savage Kings MC. This is Savage King member Cedric Crawford, and Evelyn Young’s story line. CEDRIC can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary. Some of the events of CEDRIC cross-over with, or run parallel to several earlier story lines.
WARNING: Due to the graphic nature of the story line there may be some triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Evelyn and Cedric) spanning a ten year time line, CEDRIC follows the childhood best friends to lovers/ rekindling romance between twenty years olds Cedric Crawford and Evelyn Young. At ten years of age Evelyn Young would meet Cedric Crawford, and from that day forward would become best friends and fall in love, but neither one was willing to be the first to admit to their mutual attraction and love but Evelyn’s mother was slowly succumbing to kidney disease, and in an effort to help her mother, Evelyn agrees to marry Lowell, a man she does not love, a man who uses and abuses our story line heroine. Unable to let go of the woman he has always loved, Cedric goes in search of a solution, first attempting to get the local sheriff involved. When all else failed, Cedric found his way into the Savage Kings’ MC compound, prospecting until the time he would be able to help the woman he loved. Two years would pass, as Cedric became a man Evelyn would no longer recognize, but a man who was willing to risk his life to free our story line heroine.
Evelyn Young was desperate to save her mother’s life and knew by marrying a member of the Dirty Aces MC, that her life would never be the same. Abused and tormented, manipulated and controlled, Evelyn would be forced into a life of drug addiction, an addiction that helped her get through her daily life. Cedric Crawford had never stopped loving Evelyn Young even though Evelyn broke our hero’s heart. Unable to let go, Cedric would keeps tabs on the woman he loved in an effort to ensure she would one-day be his but Cedric would need help from the Savage Kings MC, but not before Cedric had patched into the MC that would become his home.
The relationship between Cedric and Evelyn begins as childhood best friends. Cedric had fallen in love with Evelyn Young but was reluctant to reveal his feelings lest he lose the only woman he would ever love. Having watched Evelyn ‘date’ a number of men, Cedric would wait until it was too late. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate between Cedric and Evelyn; between Evelyn and Lowell are rough and abusive.
There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including many of the members of the Savage Kings MC and their significant others. We are introduced to Evelyn’s husband and member of the Dirty Aces MC Lowell; and Evelyn’s long suffering mother Rita.
CEDRIC is a story of desperation, betrayal and vengeance; of family, friendships, desolation and retribution. Our heroine, at times, is a little TSTL (too stupid to live) but desperation makes one do stupid things. The premise is dark and gritty; the characters are broken and lost; the romance struggles in the face of lies, betrayal, addiction and two years of separation.
