*Book 1 — The Savage Gentleman — is available now!My name Damien “The Sinner” Reyes. I’ve been called every name in the book by my long list of haters: cocky, hard-headed, impulsive, arrogant. But there’s another name I like to go by—the best MMA fighter in the world. You’ve never heard of me, but one day you’ll know my name. I was broken when I met her, mending mental and physical wounds, and … and physical wounds, and that’s when Harper approached me, wanting to tell my story to the world. There was only one problem—she was the hottest woman I’d ever seen in my life. Why was that a problem? She wanted a profile for her blog, and all I wanted was to see her naked. It was doomed to never work out. But then one night I asked her to go to dinner with me, and everything changed between us.
I though it would be smooth sailing, but then her unknown past stepped between us, threatening not only the two of us, but standing in the way of my personal dreams. If I can overcome my obstacles, then I know I’m destined for greatness. There are only three things I want now—Harper by my side, a contract with the UFC, and for everyone in the world to know that I’m the most Savage Sinner in the world.

The second in Christopher Harlan’s Savage Gentlemen series. During this story we follow Damian Reyes as he works to heal after a leg injury that prevents him going after a shot to be in the UFC, like Lucas did in the first book. While at physical therapy one day, Damian meets a woman named Harper and they get to know each other through the course of the book.
This book can be read as a stand-alone but I would recommend against that, just so you’ll understand all the ins and outs with the characters. MMA is not my go-to for reading (or entertainment of any other genre) but this is a good story, relatable characters, well told. I liked it enough to look forward to the continuation of this story, as this book does end on a cliffhanger.
This book was awesome, if I had never known anything about the MMA etc then this series and book would give someone an insight on how it is and what the guys who train go through. Also, Damien is such a great character, he comes from a rough background and was forced to fight not by passion or love of the sport but that was what he had to do all his life and now he just wants to be the best. I loved how he cared for his friends, was tough and resilient yet smart about things, and he was such an understanding person about everything. Harper was funny, outgoing, a savvy MMA fan, and writing an expose on Damien. These two had chemistry off the charts and are perfect for each other. I hated that things that happened to Damien did, but I am excited for more and also glad he has Harper in his corner willing to fight for their relationship.
This was the second book in the series however it could be read as a stand-alone. But book one was really good too so why not read that one first? This was about Damien the MMA fighter and Harper the MMA lover and it does end in a cliffhanger so be ready for book three!!
The Savage Sinner if the second book in A Series of Savage Gentleman. It introduces Damien “The Sinner” Reyes. He is cocky, hard-headed, impulsive and arrogant. He has a chance meeting with Harper at a physical therapy office. He is totally impressed but fails to get her number. They meet again at a fight and this is when Damien discovers she is a blogger for her on page reporting on all things MMA. She proposes an exposé on Damien for her blog and the two hit it off professionally and personally. Enter Johnny Altino, Champion in Damien’s weight class and ex boyfriend of Harper. He is arrogant and cocky too but in a bad way and is not happy Harper kicked him out and threatens Damien. This is a really good MMA book and if you’re into this genre, you will enjoy it.
I have read many of Christopher Harlan’s books and he always brings his A game. With each book Harlan becomes like a new author to me. I have read his heart touching stories about family and hardship. I have read his books in so many different genres. What makes Christopher Harlan an amazing writer is that every book he brings a new side of Not only himself but of life. Harlan has fast become one of my favorite go to Author’s.
The Savage Sinner is an MMA based story unlike any I have ever read. Going deep into the mind of Damien “The Sinner” Reyes. Harlan brings forth an amazing journey of mind, body, soul and heart. How a young man who almost has achieved his dream has it cruelly ripped out of his grasps (for the moment anyway). Christopher doesn’t just write sexy, strong, alpha men; his women are just as remarkable. Harper Silva is not a ring bunny. She is a hard hitting MMA journalist who literally bumps her way into Damien’s life. Their journeys, both together and separate are compelling. Each hardships make them more realistic.
Harlan crafts a book with an outstanding plot, characters, development and flow. He is truly mastering his talent and putting all of his energy into his work. If there is one author I highly recommend as a one click it is Christopher Harlan. You never know where the book is going to lead you but you will never have to doubt that it is going to be worth the pages turned.
I dont know how Christoper outdoes himself with each book! This book was so good. This is the story of Harper and Damien. Harper is a huge fan of MMA and even runs a blog about it. She has a really good following. After an accidental meeting with Damien gets her mind working and her body humming with excitement will their instant attraction fade out? Will her secret and past ruin them? And Damien oh Damien. He’s a sexy MMA fighter working his was into the UFC. He’s only concerned with winning and nothing else until Harper. But his focus is now not only on UFC but Harper. Will her past sink them before they can start?
Damien “ The Sinner” Reyes is down but definitely not out! His story is going to be told by Harper she’s a sportswriter and wants to write Damien’s story.From the start they both realize there’s more to their connection than just a story.
Christopher Harlan teases you with part of Damien’s story now and the rest sadly you have to wait for but it will Definitely be worth the wait!
The Savage Sinner was a great fast paced book that hooked me from the start. Damien is a MMA fighter that wants to be at the top. He will fight his way there. Harper has a blog & wants to do a story on Damien. They have great chemistry between them. Can Harper let her past go to start something with Damien? The more they get to know each other the more they want each other in their lives. I liked the way that Christopher Harlan draws people into this world. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.
I loved the way this story developed and the chemistry between the characters was amazing. This book was one that I couldn’t put down and wanted more when I reached the last page. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series. In my opinion, this series by Christopher Harlan is a must read!!!
OH MY GOSH!!! COULDN’T PUT THIS DOWN!!! The Savage Sinner was amazing!! MMA,bad boy, and so much to keep you flipping the pages all night long into the morning. If you want a book you will devour! This is it!! Christopher Harlan has a way of sucking you in and making you want so much more!! This one was exceptional!! Loved it!
I really enjoyed reading this book and I loved how the author allowed Harper to be a huge fan of the sport, as so often the girl in the story knows so little about the sports involved. Damien is the perfect broken alpha fighting through and sorting his demons and I loved what a loyal and dedicated character he was. The story line was original, the chemistry was off the charts and kept my attention the entire read.
This story has all types of WOW FACTOR from the cocky yet loving Damien to the loud smart attitude that is Harper. These two characters make you laugh smile and aww. From the fun banter to the reality that some MMA fighters face, Christopher gives it to you powerfully throughout the ride that is The Savage Sinner.
Once again, Mr. Harlan knows how to tell a freaking story!
I have never really been one for MMA books, until I got into this series. And to be honest, I think that this one is my favorite so far!
In this story, we meet Damien “The Sinner” Reyes. He’s finally recovered from an injury he sustained and ready to get back into the fight game. It’s during this time that he meets Harper and sparks fly. She matches him wit for wit and their personalities mesh together so easily that it makes for a very interesting read.
This story was action packed and so entertaining! I laughed out loud on more than one occasion. The playful banter was incredible and the sex scenes were steamy but not overdone.
Mr. Harlan is one of my favorite authors. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I have yet to read a book from him that I didn’t immediately fall in love with! He knows how to keep a reader interested. The characters are so well developed, the story line is so interesting. You can tell he puts a lot of thought into these points. The backstories, the information, the details. He’s an absolutely incredible writer!
The ONLY downside to this story was the darn cliffhanger! I NEED to know what happens to The Sinner! But I’m sure it will be worth the wait! 🙂
5 out of 5 stars!
This book is the 2nd in the series but I read it without reading the first one and had no problem following along. I know nothing about the fighting world and to be honest, I enjoyed learning about it. The storyline was very well developed and the characters are great. I love the relationships and the chemistry between some. I can’t wait to read the next in the series to see what happens next.
Interesting story line fulled with determination, new found love, strong friendships and a need for revenge. The characters have intense interactions throughout as Damien and Harper’s relationship grows stronger. Can’t wait to see what comes next for them.
I voluntarily read and reviewed this book; all opinions expressed are my own.
I love this book as much as book 1.. I was not able to put it down once I started. I can’t wait what next in this series. One of my top reads 2020
Damien “The Sinner” Reyes is an MMA fighter. He’s recovering from an injury when he meets Harper. She’s an MMA fan and a writer. Their chance encounter leads to her writing a story on Damien to help build up his name. Their easy banter and the fact that Harper gives as good as she receives was awesome. She’s snarky and a breath of fresh air. Damien’s journey in life was a hard one. He fights because he has to. He still has more hard knocks coming, but he’s got the mindset to overcome it all and make it to the UFC. A great story and wonderful characters.
Loved this book. I loved Damien and Harper’s chemistry! Damien needs someone strong, sarcastic and sexy in his corner and he most definitely found that in Harper!! Can’t wait to see what is in store in their next chapter!
This was a great read by Christopher Harlan. Sexy, emotional, edge of your seat. If you are looking for a great book read this one. You won’t be disappointed with any of his books!
