He’s rich. He’s handsome. He’s lost. To anyone on the outside, Decker Riley has it all. But all the money in the world can’t fill the emptiness that threatens to consume him. His life is a lie that has hollowed the deepest recesses of his heart. Trapped in his father’s world, Decker hasn’t been able to forge a path of his own—that is, until he meets Hannah, the little spitfire of a waitress so … of a waitress so far off his radar that he has to get lost to find her.
Hannah Banning has been living under a black cloud for so long that she’s forgotten what it feels like to have hope. She gave up her dreams so her sister can have the future she deserves, in spite of their mother’s crippling drug addiction, and doesn’t dare think about what she’s missing—a fulfilling career, true love, a comfortable life. That is, until a wounded stranger shows up at the diner where she works and changes everything.
Can Hannah fill the void of Decker’s empty life? Will Decker mend Hannah’s shattered soul and give her the future of her dreams? Or will the ghosts of their pasts drive them apart?

Decker Riley and Hannah Banning come from completely different worlds and when they find each other their worlds collide in more than one way. Decker finds out he was adopted and that he has two brothers. Hannah just so happened to have her eye on both brothers at one time but each time they fell for someone else. She finally got a Savage brother and the love of a man she needed and they are perfect for each other. I absolutely love this series! Delivering Decker is an excellent ending to The Boys of Fury. Kelly Collins created characters that are believable and honest but endearingly flawed. This is a fast paced, addictive story with spine tingling twists and turns that make this a 5-star read.
I received an ARC of Delivering Decker and this is my freely given, honest review. This is the final book in the Boys of Fury trilogy and it was a good solid ending to the series. The Savage brothers Ryker and Silas have been searching for their younger brother that was adopted out as an infant. They never expected him to come crashing into town quite literally on a motorcycle! Decker shows up late at night at the diner and Hannah comes to his aid even though she would rather not. Hannah has been through a lot in her young life and as we grew to know her in the last two books, she’s just looking to find her happy ending because her life has been anything but happy. Decker is 23, working for his father in the high powered real estate development field. He has his own set of internal demons even though he has lived a life of privilege. These two both have a lot of baggage yet they are drawn together in this story of struggle, secrets, love, loss and family. Each book in the series stands alone but do yourself a favor and start at the beginning with Redeeming Ryker. The story line flows from book to book and is much better read in it’s entirety.
A happily ever after to the entire Savage Brothers series and very satisfying conclusion to the story arc that began in Redeeming Ryker. The author did a great job dealing with the subject of addiction from all sides: the addict in recovery; the addict trying to recovery; the family trying to help but enabling. Decker’s interactions with his brother and his finding “his place” were well written story lines. Hannah was not my favorite character but she grew on me. Well written and easy read.
Favorite Quotes:
He smiled wide enough for his dentures to drop. “If I were younger Hannah, I …” I moved on before he could tell me what he would do. There were some things a girl should not have to see even in her imagination.
“His wife was my best friend for years. We used to go see Thunder Down Under in Denver every year they came to town.” Her silver blue eyes crinkled in the corners when she smiled. “Bob would hand Avis a pile of dollar bills. He told her to enjoy herself, but to bring her appetite home. I’m not sure who loved that one day a year more, Bob or Avis.
They were cute in an odd couple kind of way. Marty was gasoline, and Mona was fire, but somehow their combination wasn’t combustible. Mona simply burned up Marty’s fuel, and he was happy to keep her flame going.
My life is over. All I have is Judge Judy and carbohydrates.
You know that saying about how if you set someone free and they come back, they are yours forever? … Well, that’s bullshit. You get your ass in your car and chase down that boy. Flick him on his stitches to get his attention and don’t leave him until he’s convinced you love him.
My Review:
I have adored and relished all three of the cleverly written books in this series and am mourning the fact that Ms. Collins only graced The Boys of Fury with three brothers. I’m not ready to move on and leave them behind, although Delivering Decker did an excellent job of wrapping up the series with a heart and soul pleasing and satisfying conclusion. The characters were indelible, quirky, and endearingly flawed while the storylines were eventful, relevant and engaging. I truly cannot decide which brother or book I liked best, but I’m leaning toward Delivering Decker as I am having an extremely strong urge to purchase and play with an inspirationally festooned kite while sipping on some of Mona’s lemonade. Message received Ms. Collins.
The enigma that is Kelly Collins strikes again. Delivering Decker is an empowering tale of bravery and fear. Hannah is a woman determined to not be a statistic. She’s survived neglect, abuse and poverty, fear will not rule her life. Decker is the flip side of the coin. He has money and the name to back it up, but not the happiness. Secrets have rocked his world and left him at his lowest. What happens when the man who has it all, crosses paths with the woman fighting to stay afloat? Let the healing begin. Ms. Collins writes tales of faith. She pulls back the mask and exposes the ugliness that makes us human and the spirit that gives us the courage to survive.
