I never thought I would be stupid enough to make a deal with the devil, but here I am doing just that. It’s not like he really gave me a choice. I have to give the Governor what he wants, or he’s going to throw all of my Savage Kings MC brothers into prison for decades. And what exactly does Governor Satan need from me? That’s the real kicker because he’s insisting that I…date his daughter. No, … his daughter. No, not just date her. He wants me to convince Isobel to stop spiraling out of control before she ends up dead, or worse – ruin her father’s chance at getting re-elected.
I have no clue why his beautiful wild child is partying her way through life, crossing off items on a mile-long bucket list, and I don’t really care. Somehow, someway, I have to convince her to put down roots and go back to being the picture-perfect good girl her father raised.
As if I’m not in deep enough, I’ve never wanted anyone more than the free-spirit who refuses to spend her short life standing in one place for too long. Too bad Isobel is going to hate my guts when she finds out I’m the asshole who has to lock her back up in a cage.
And if I fail to do so, well, there won’t be an orange jumpsuit waiting for me. I’ll never make it to prison because the Governor dug up all my dirt that I thought I had carefully buried.
If he tells the Kings that I started prospecting with them as a DEA rat ten years ago, they’ll never forgive me.
How could they when I still haven’t forgiven myself?

I’m not sure what to say here. The back story was missing. We had mayhem with no resolution. I assume it comes in the next book but was this one just a filler?
I love Lane Hart and have loved this series I just feel like this one was missing.
It definitely has less drama but still has the love and tears.

Book nine in the Savage Kings MC series. Can be read and enjoyed as stand-alone, told in dual POV with HEA. Each book is about a different brother of the Savage Kings MC. Secondary characters are the same throughout the series. Even though Sax is an officer in the MC he never felt like he really belonged or completely fit in with the Savage Kings. Isobel is done being controlled by her father and is now living solely for herself. Their paths do not cross by accident, but their attraction is real. Isobel sees Sax like no one else ever has, and he opens up to her like he never has to anyone else. There is blackmail and some club drama, but this is a love story and I could not put it down until the end. Super sweet epilogue!
This was another great addition to this series that I was addicted to once I started reading. This action packed read for Sax and Isobel held a few surprises after the initial blackmail that started their story from Isobel’s father. It moved quickly and still had a few secrets that keep me addicted to this series and anticipating the next addition to the series. I enjoyed Isobel’s spirit and her determination as well as her sense of adventure. Sax was a great character as well since we got to see more into him and his secrets. I also liked the return of the characters from the previous books as well even though their roles were small in comparison to Isobel and Sax’s. I enjoyed this book from the start and would recommend it to others.
Sax by Lane Hart and D.B. West a five-star read that will play you like a piece of music. This is number nine in the Savage Kings MC series, but they can all be read as stand-alone as each brother tells his own unique story, but I have to admit I have read and loved them all in order. Saxon Cole is a man who has faced many challenges in his life, but none of them will be as difficult as the one he faces with Isobel, she is a storm in a short leather dress. Just a shame that by facing a challenge with her he may have to face one with his brothers and who do you choose, you family or your future? D.B. West and Lane Hart really do write as one, they have a way with words that just simply surprises you every time. I have read a few stories by these two and they always surprise me how they just get better and better each time.
Wow! I’ve read a lot of Lane Hart books, but this one, this one totally stole my heart!
When Sax is blackmailed into straightening up a girl gone wild, he doesn’t have a clue what he’s signed himself up for. Meeting Isobel, getting to know her, opened up more of himself than he could have ever imagined. But he’s keeping secrets from her as well as his MC brothers and the potential of it all blowing up in his face is as real as the destruction someone is raining down on the club.
Isobel grew up as the good girl. She followed the rules, kept to her books, and was the perfect daughter. But when life suddenly upends its dirty secrets on her, she decides it’s time to cut loose. Traveling the world, singing across the country, and fulfilling a bucket list while sporting brightly colored hair is her new operandi. She has few rules, but the main one is to make no attachments. Now if she can keep reminding herself of that after meeting Sax.
I loved both this hero and heroine equally! I was afraid Isobel might be a little too wild for me, but she was perfect. Even as she lived her kick-butt life, she still maintained a degree of sweet. Her story is not for the faint of heart and I personally broke when it was all revealed to me. Sax was the perfect compliment to her wild and free. His battle with guilt wrecked me as it wrecked him. He was possessive and protective, sometimes jealous, but always the man Isobel needed. When things got down and dirty, he did what he had to do and was ready to face the consequences. Definitely a favorite hero of mine from this series.
The MC business and drama actually helped this couple to develop a fuller relationship. Some of the trouble that arose also allowed these characters to shine as individuals as well as a couple. There is a lot of heart between the pages of this book which included not only how Sax and Isobel felt, but from the brothers themselves as well. I’m telling you, this one has all the feels, the where-the-heck-are-the-tissues feels. So make sure you have them handy when you begin.
This is written in a style that begins and moves quickly and before you know it, you’ve reached the end. The steam factor here is scorching, believable, and blush inducing if you’ve got it set on “text to speech” on your phone and someone walks in. We also get a few clues of what might crop up in future books, and let me tell you, I think Cooper may end up wrecking me more than this one. To top all of the deliciousness of this story, we have an epilogue that will have you crying happy tears and cursing that there’s no more pages to read.
The Savage Kings continue to catch your attention with this new story featuring Sax. He never imagines what will happen when he is forced to meet Isobel and how his life will be changed forever,
This is yet another superbly entertaining, addictive and well written book which I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.
SAX is the ninth instalment in Lane Hart and DB West’s contemporary, adult SAVAGE KINGS erotic, MC romance series focusing on the Savage Kings MC. This is Savage Kings MC club officer Saxon ‘Sax’ Cole, and twenty-eight year old, nurse/singer Isobel Washington’s story line. SAX can be read as a stand alone without any difficult but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Sax and Isobel) SAX follows the building relationship between Savage Kings MC club officer Saxon ‘Sax’ Cole, and twenty-eight year old, nurse/singer Isobel Washington. Saxon Cole found himself the target of North Carolina governor Lawrence Washington when the governor demanded a ‘favor’ in return for our hero’s freedom. Running for re-election Governor Washington needs to present himself as a loving family man but his daughter, Isobel Washington, wants nothing to do with her father’s campaign. Estranged for years, Isobel refuses to bow down to her father’s wishes, wishes that will be forced upon her by the man with whom she will fall in love. What ensues is the building relationship between Isobel and Sax, and the potential fall-out when the truth is revealed.
Saxon Cole’s freedom and that of his fellow MC members is dependant upon his ability to ‘coerce’ Isobel back to her father but our heroine wants nothing to do with the man she believes has lied to her throughout her life. On her own, completing a bucket list of things to do, Isobel refused to accept defeat but acceptance will come at a cost. A wild child by nature, Isobel struggles to move on from the past, a past that is slowly destroying her life.
The relationship between Isobel and Saxon is built upon a lie. To protect his fellow brothers Saxon must battle between head and heart when he is forced to push Isobel back to a man she no longer trusts. Having been given the go-ahead to do whatever is necessary, Saxon begins a temporary affair that turns into something more. The $ex scenes are intimate , erotic and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including several of the previous story line members. We are introduced to Isobel’s father Governor Lawrence Washington, and her former co-worker and pediatric physician Daniel.
SAXON is a story of secrets and lies; betrayal and vengeance; family, friendship, and falling in love. The premise is inviting ; the characters are feisty and sassy; the romance is seductive and provocative.
Sax Cole spends most of his time out on his boat. He doesn’t feel like he fits in with the Savage Kings, even after 12 years. He is being blackmailed by the governor so he makes a deal to save his brothers. Isobel is the governor’s daughter. Sax needs to find her and tame her to go back to Daddy or all the Savage Kings will end up in jail. This is a must read for the Savage King series fans. I read this book in one day. Great Job Lane Hart and D.B. West.
Saxon Cole
Nothing is easy for Sax. Twelve years ago he lost her s girlfriend and blamed the Savage Kings.
He was gonna take them down and started out as an informant.

Buckle up for one wild ride.

We’re coming to the end in the Savage Kings MC series. Sax has always been the quiet one. Spends most of his time out on his boat, he has been quite the enigma. Now he has been hauled into jail and given an ultimatum by the governor. Find his daughter, seduce his daughter and bring her to heel or the governor will come down hard on the Kings for deeds that they have done and none of them will see the light of day for a long time. Sax will do anything to protect his brothers but the young lady that he is after is a complex, deep character and he is in for a heck of a ride! Isobel seemed to have it all from the outside. Young, beautiful, talented, wealthy. What could she possibly find wrong with this life that she has been born into? If you want to know you’re going to need to read Sax. Their story will squeeze your heart and twist all of your emotions. This story stands alone however I recommend reading the previous books so that each supporting character is understood fully. It’s told from dual POV and it’s spicy sweet but you’re going to need a box of tissues handy.
Sax makes a deal with the devil (Isobel’s father) to keep his brothers in the Savage Kings out of jail. Isobel is a free spirit, that travels all over the world for excitement, the devil wants his daughter at home, he blackmails Sax to get her there! This is the best book I’ve read in a long time, it will make you feel a lot of different emotions! Keep the tissues handy!
Another 5-Star AH-MAZE-ING read from the Savage King series! Sax and Isobel were hot, sexy and full of chemistry that I couldn’t get through their story fast enough. Isobel was living her best life to the fullest while her dad wanted to keep her tied down. Sax never felt he belonged with the MC until it all comes crashing down. The twists and turns in this book literally had me consuming pages, gasping with shock and left me speechless because…..WTH did I read!!!! A beautiful love story that will give you so many feels!
