I loved this one! Take an embittered ex-Marine/ex-MC biker, add a fleeing Mafia princess determined to have at least ONE night of unfettered wildness & mix with his old MC Club & her enraged father & fiancee= BOOM!
Houston Reed (H) is the son of his old MC’s Pres & after a personal tragedy when he was 18, he walked away from his club & joined the Marines. Now, 10 years & numerous deployments later, the ex-Marine sniper has been honorably discharged due to an IED. Having expected to stay in the Marines the rest of his life, 28 yr old Houston is adrift. With no where else to go, he heads home only to find the MC Club has been waiting for him . . . .
Isabella (Izzy/h) has recently discovered just how evil & cruel her father is & now he forcing her to marry a man even more cruel, cold & sadisitic. And moments before she goes to walk down the aisle to marry this monster, Izzy flees. Bound & intent on having at least ONE day & night to call her own & to do anything SHE wants to do, she finds herself in her wedding gown walking down a lonely pier. And then she sees Houston. A huge, muscled & tattooed man lounging on a bench, a slight smirk on his gorgeous face & an invitation on his perfect lips. An invitation Izzy decides to accept, & throwing caution to the winds Houston becomes her sinful first & only plunge into pleasure & excitement with a bad boy before addressing just how she’ll successfully escape her murderous father & fiancee.
Then things get dangerous, lethal & messy for both Houston & Izzy . . . .
This one has sizzling steam, intense danger, suspense, heartbreak, sacrifice & smoking hot attraction & lust between two people disappointed & embittered by their past & finding themselves in a literal fight to the death for their love, their futures & each other. And although this one does end on a tense cliffhanger, I looooved it & am waiting with bated breath for the next one!!!
(FYI: per the author at the back of this book #1: book #2 is expected to release later in May while the conclusion #3 is expected to release in July).

Savage Protector takes on a whole new meaning of Run-Away Bride and let me tell you, it’s a thrill seeker and a cliffhanger! Houston grew up with the sins of a MC and the horrors of his mother’s death. The only way he could get away from it was by joining the military. Until, he got medically discharged and had no place to go. Izzy is being forced to marry the man her father chooses. She decides to run. A run far. Houston spots her not far from him. Let’s just say, they both had the fun they needed.
This was my first book by E.M. Gayle, but it definitely will not be my last. I was hooked from the first page! I cannot wait for book 2 so I can find out what finally happens!
What an action pack story. It had me hooked throughout this story. It has lots of twists and turns. Houston and Isabella where enjoyed to read about. It does end an cliffhanger. Look forward to the next book.

I’m reviewing the audio edition of this story. I really loved what was here but it is little more than a teaser. It sets up the story of Houston and Isabella (Izzy). She is a runaway and right when things get to the boiling point we are left with a cliffhanger. If I had known it was a cliffhanger and has two more parts to it I would have never started it. I HATE CLIFFHANGERS. Houston is also a very interesting character. I feel he is getting deeper into a situation he doesn’t know about nor want to. This has all the making of a great story IF it were complete. As for the narrators. They did an excellent job. I really enjoyed the story because they were good to listen to. This is really rare. I listen to a lot of audio books and the narrator can make or ruin even a good story. I’ll probably read the rest of the story because it is that good but I will watch before I purchase any from this author.
This book had me me on the edge of my seat and i couldnt put it down…..a run away bride and a man running from his past… them meeting is like two super nova stars colliding ….all hell breaks loose and the action, drama and suspense is unleashed when these two broken souls meet…

Selling his soul to the Sins of Wrath
—>>> Review Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars – Houston is at a crossroads in his life. Honorably discharged, he heads home to weather leaving the life of being a Marine behind. Unfortunately, the members of Sins of Wrath demand his presence at the club right away, no matter what he may want. But when a chance meeting with a gorgeous Mafia runaway princess on a foggy bridge happens, there is no going back for Houston or his heart. And when Izzy is snatched from under his very nose, he will be forced to swallow his pride and beg for help to get his princess back, from the same MC he had left behind ten years ago and whom he had just adamantly refused to rejoin upon his return. Houston has no choice, though, and it just so happens his goal runs parallel to his old club’s goals, and the Sins of Wrath brothers are the only ones in town with enough firepower to help Houston and Izzy out of her dangerous predicament.
Great first read of this series – looking forward to reading more of their story and how they will find their way back to each other!
Ahhhh, that was a dozy of a cliffhanger!!!!! Holy moly, this story was awesome, had my stomach clenched, and my heart breaking. Houston, we have hawtness, extra spicy attraction, and instant connection, between Izzy and Houston. Both are broken, both end up where they never wanted to be, and both are just trying to survive. After perfection together, their real worlds claim them, and once there is another chance, crazy cliffy that is going to have on edge until the next book comes out.
Once I started this book, I was completely drawn in by the characters, the dynamics, the story, and devoured it all at once. It was over too soon, and while my brain and heart needed the break, I will be stalking the release of the next book!
I loved this book from the beginning! Houston was the type of book boyfriend I will remember for a long while. Izzy was sweet and knowledgeable about evil in the world, since her father is right at the top of that ladder. I was happy she and Houston found each other. I was also heartbroken at the end. I was really looking forward to the next book, but don’t know if I’ll get the opportunity to read it. If you like MC books or books with a mafia flair, this book has it all. I requested an advanced reader copy from Booksprout and am under no obligation to leave this review.
OMG, what an amazing and suspenseful read. I really don’t like cliffhangers, but this one had me hooked from beginning to end. Izzie runs from her arranged marriage to an associate of her Mafia father. Houston, a former Marine, has been discharged due to injuries received on his last mission. The two are drawn together and then when he sees her on the beach in her wedding dress with a lost look in her eyes. They spend a few hot, steamy days together opening up about their pasts. When her father’s thugs find her and take her back, Houston does the only thing he can, he seeks the help from his former MC club that he walked away from 10 years ago. A fast paced, action packed, thrilling read.

Savage Protector: Motorcycle Club Romance (Outlaw Justice Trilogy Book 1) by EM Gayle. A new author for me but this book was awesome even though it ended on a cliffhanger (which I hate!) My suggestion is you get book two and read them both. I recommend this author, and the series.

EM Gayle is a new author to me so I had no idea what to expect but I’m always up for a good MC book and I surely was not disappointed in this one. This was an intense, emotional rollercoaster. A storyline that engaged me right from the beginning and took enough twists and turns to keep my heart racing to see what was going to happen next. The characters have enough of a flawed personality they’re easy to relate to. Be advised, there is a HUGE cliffhanger, so if you’re not okay with that you might want to wait for the next book. I’m glad I didn’t though. I’m am so looking forward to what’s coming.

The chemistry between Houston and Izzy, the runaway bride, is off the charts from the very beginning. Their story is just getting started in this fast paced adventure with plenty of twists, suspense, fighting and steamy romance. I look forward to reading the next book. Cliffhanger ending. Enjoy!

Oh my word. My first book by this author, and I was like what did I just read. Hot, gritty, suspense, drama, twists and man a cliffhanger to boot. I really think it should be mentioned that books end on a cliffhanger man.
Houston is home from the army and he doesn’t want anything to do with the MC club his father raised him in. Izzy is on the run from an arranged marriage setup by her father. From the minute they met Houston becomes protective of her. And they both can’t deny the chemistry between them. But can this work out. She is on the run he just like her is a broken soul.
Like I said lots of action, drama, suspense and definitely over the to chemistry between these two. At the end of this book, there is so cub going on and so much questions with no answers, that I feel we can’t wait too long for the next book to be released
This is part one of a three part story which ends with a huge cliff hanger.
This is a well written flawless, intriguing story that will hook you from the start to finish.
The main characters are both haunted by their pasts. They spend a, steamy night together leaves them both wanting more.
I cannot wait to read to read the rest of this series.

ONE TINGLING DELIGHT!!!
Oh man, what a ride! Talk about duck, dodge and roll. Gayle brought out all thrills and spills in this tough as nails, on point realism with twisting, turling spins so intense, bursting with emotions bringing this gripping tale to life spectacularly. The tension is thick, the chemistry is hot and the danger is skyrocketing. Trials and tribulations, ups and downs, along with a few bumps and bruises bring this baby together flawlessly. The characters are authentic, believable and so realistic with depth and qualities its easy to relate. The scenes are graphically detailed . Fantastic job Gayle, thanks for sharing this little jewel with us.
