Another masterpiece by Ames Mills!! Sean will be my forever favorite!! I almost went crazy with the end of the last book and I was so glad that cliffhanger resolved quickly!

This is the first time I've DNF'd an Ames Mills books bc I usually really enjoy them.
But the fucking betrayel of Axel towards Ari and his team was un-fucking-forgivable. Ari and his team should have fucking walked. Axel wanted to find out if he could really trust Ari and his team and found out that he could. But Ari and his team found out that they couldn't fucking trust Axel.

And all of them going on and on about how they were willing to betray literally every single person they know just in case all for the protection of Chelsea ACTUALLY tells me that they are willing to betray absolutely anyone INCLUDING fucking Chelsea if it comes down to it. 

If you're willing to betray someone who you consider a brother, who has never once given you any reason at all to suspect that they could be untrustworthy, then you are not a trustworthy person. I cannot trust that you, in some far off hypothetical future, will not randomly decide that I am untrustworthy despite giving you absolutely no reason to think this.


All that aside, I just really didn't connect with the FMC here. A main part of that is that this duet focuses a lot on Chelsea and her body insecurities, with her thinking she's fat and therefore undesirable. But it is never even once mentioned what actual size Chelsea is, and that is unusual for Ames Mills bc in a prior duet, the FMC (Evie) was expicitely mentioned as being a size 16, which - while a small fat - is still plus sized. I am convinced that Chelsea is actually a fucking size 10 and I am not here for books where the main insecurity of the FMC - who is (presumably) a size fucking 10 - is that she is fat and undesirable.

This was a great finish to the Saviors Duet! The spice was top tier of course (hello chapter 25!) and as hard as it was at the time, I loved the additional twists and drama that played out through the end of the book. Another great RH read!

AMAZING!!!! I am SOOOOO sad this duet is over! Ames Mills is so freaking amazing!!

Book 2 picks up right where book 1 left off not knowing who was alive or dead. The book doesn’t keep you in question for long and starts off with a BANG with the rescue of all the Saviors (thank you Les and her guys) and Chelseys escape from her dip sh*t “husband” (thank you for Evies guys for being her Savior) After they all get reunited they take time to rebuild and come together as a family rebuilding their love for Chelsey and for each other and coming together stronger than ever to take Charlie down. From there they join forces with all the Abbs Valley crews and going after Charlie. We have plot twists left and right where you aren’t sure who to trust….along with a freaking crazy @ss chapter 39 that just makes you wanna pull your hair out… but in the end all is right in the world!

The story that Ames Mills has built in Abbs Valley and Forest Grove is amazing! I love how these 4 “families” have intermingled and come together to always be there for each other. I love these stories!!!! Can’t wait for what’s next!!!!

This was such an amazing read, as I knew it would be!

I think I will probably love anything Ames Mills writes. The Saviors Part Two is no exception! It’s the conclusion to Chelsea and her guys’ love story, and what a rollercoaster of emotions and events it was!

As always, it’s packed with tons of action, PLENTY of amazing spice and fun times, and the plot is the icing on the cake.

I love these books because it’s a fine balance between a great storyline with tons of romance and spice that is always so fun to read.

We really got to see the love solidify between everyone and get a true idea of how all of their dynamics would work together. I also love seeing how much the Abbs Valley family has grown throughout each book and just seeing where they started to where everyone is now is truly amazing.

So! If you love a good RH with plenty of spice, lots of love for the FMC AND each other amongst the men, this is the book for you! And be sure to check out all of Ames’ other books because they’re just as fantastic as this one.

I’m so excited to see what’s next!!

It literally KILLS me to give an Ames Mills book anything less than a four. She might follow a script with each duet, and she may be in desperate need of a (better) editor, but I have loved everything she has put out SO MUCH. Since this is the fourth duet in the same universe, following the same prescriptive plot, there was no way this would get over 4 stars. So why does this have only three?!

Without the spoiler... the "plot twist" that she was so proud of is why I took a star away.

With the spoiler...
Spoiler The fact that any of them would believe that Sean was a plant is insulting and ridiculous. Charlie had already tried to convince Axel that Cole was the leak, and Axel quickly put that aside, but he was willing to immediately believe that sweet Sean was the leak, just because the bad guys said so. I could not contain my eye roll.


Overall though, I still love Ames Mills. I am not sure how she writes characters that are just so dang loveable, but I did really enjoy the Forest Grove crew. That being said, my favorite moments were still whenever Gage or Caden popped up. I love those troublemakers so much.

I would still recommend this duet, but I hope that she leaves this universe behind soon because it is starting to get repetitive. I'll still read anything she publishes, but too much of a good thing will lose its appeal eventually.
