REVIEW:SLINGSHOT is the fifteenth instalment in KL Savage’s contemporary, adult RUTHLESS KINGS MC erotic, dark MC romance series. This is thirty-five year old, Noah ‘Slingshot’ Connors, and twenty-two year old, Natalia Moretti’s story line. SLINGSHOT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion, or at the very least MATEO (Moretti #1).
WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Natalia and Slingshot) SLINGSHOT follows the building relationship between thirty-five year old, Noah ‘Slingshot’ Connors, and twenty-two year old, Natalia Moretti’. Natalia Moretti is the daughter of Las Vegas Kingpin Mateo Moretti, and as such is off limits, especially in the wake of her recent abduction, and subsequent rescue by the Ruthless Kings MC but Noah ‘Slingshot’ Connors fell in love the moment he laid eyes on our story line heroine, and placed himself in the direct line of fire as it pertained to Natalia’s father. As Natalia and Slingshot struggled to stay under Mateo’s radar, someone else is working behind the scenes in an effort to recapture what doesn’t belong. What ensues is the quickly building romance and relationship between Natalia and Slingshot, and the potential fall-out as Slingshot’s past return, demanding everything and more.
Noah Connor’s life spiralled out of control in the aftermath of his mother’s death by cancer, over twenty years earlier. Emancipating himself from his father at the age of sixteen, Noah eventually joined the Ruthless Kings MC, still pining for a family of his own. Meeting Natalia gave Noah thoughts for a future but our hero fell in love with a Mafia princess, and knew it would be an uphill battle to claim Natalia as his own. Natalia Moretti never knew hardship but as the daughter of Mateo Moretti, Natalia has always had a target on her back. Falling for Slingshot aka Noah Connors, meant pushing all of her father’s buttons but a more lethal and dangerous threat is about to be exposed.
The relationship between Natalia and Slingshot is one of immediate attraction; insta lust to love for our story line couple that threatens the relationship between Natalia and her father, and the Ruthless Kings and Mateo Moretti. Natalia is a natural submissive, and Slingshot demands submission in the bedroom, and more. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense with scenes of spanking, flogging, and erotic-asphyxiation.
There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including several members of the Ruthless Kings MC. Poodle is still grieving the loss of his beloved pet, while Reaper and Sarah are about to face a possible loss of their own. We are introduced to Natalia’s friends including Cora and Benji-Benji may be the Ruthless Kings newest prospect. The NOLA chapter of the Ruthless Kings make a cameo appearance. I am hoping the author has plans for their stories-SEER anyone !!
SLINGSHOT is a story of family, betrayal, vengeance and retribution. The fast paced and character driven premise is emotional, raw and twisted; the romance is compelling and energetic; the characters are edgy, spirited and animated.

“Knives, leave him alone.” Skirt groans. “He’s just a wee one.”
“He isn’t just ‘a wee one.’ He held his own. Who are you?” Knives asks, not sticking out his hand but running that damn ninja star across his knuckles like always.
“Benji,” my friend says. “Natalia, I’m so sorry about your eye. I shouldn’t have started anything. I didn’t like how he talked about you ladies.”
“No, you did good, kid,” Knives says. “You want something bigger, badder, and a bit messier, come prospect. We’re always looking for new blood.”
Benji rubs his jaw and nods. “Yeah, alright. Anything is better than going to the NFL to follow dad’s footsteps.”
Knives tosses his head back and laughs. “Ah, kid. You have no idea how many of us have fucking daddy issues.”
Slingshot comes outside, and he marches to me with powerful strides. The sun glints against his leather cut and his blue eyes; god, they hypnotize me. I don’t think he knows the power he exudes because he’s always holding it in. Without stopping, he wraps his hand around the back of my neck and bends me, dipping me over his knee as he kisses me, stealing my breath as his own.
A few catcalls sound out, and he pulls me up quickly, too quickly for me to piece together a single thought as his thumb brushes over my lips. “You didn’t go back to your seat. Good girls listen, don’t they?”
I nod and rub my thighs together when my clit begins to throb.
“Make it up to me by going out with me, right now.”
“Now? Right now?” I look around at my group of friends, and they’re all nodding.
“She’d love to go out.” Nora’s hand presses against my back, and she pushes me toward Slingshot.
“Well, there’s a bonfire tonight at the house,” Benji suggests. “If you want to come.”
“How about we meet you there? I want to change into something…better.”
Slingshot brings his soft lips to my ears. “Are you trying to tease me, Good Girl?”
I nod.
“Make sure you don’t wear panties, then. Text me the address.” He gives my behind a good squeeze as he leaves but then backtracks. “And be good while I’m gone, Natalia. You don’t want to know what happens when you misbehave.”
Oh, I do. I really do.
With hearts in my eyes and liquid heat between my thighs, I watch him mount his bike, which only leads me to think of all the ways he can mount me. The bikes grumble to life. The rumbles are deafening and shake the beverages on the table: the ice clinks together—the silverware trembles against the white tablecloth.
Slingshot does something I don’t expect him to do and reminds me how soft and tender his heart is.
He blows me a kiss in front of everyone without caring what others will think.
My knees are weak, and my brain is a complete fog as he pulls away.
“Oh my god, girl. You are so screwed,” Faye cheers before downing her drink.
“Nah, she’s about to be screwed. Right into a mattress!” Cora hollers and thrusts her hips into the air.
And then they begin to sing that damn song in The Sweetest Thing, and even Benji is cracking up laughing, but that’s not what makes it so bad.
Other people join in.
And I’ve never heard the word penis so much in my life.
I never want to watch that movie again.
Also, my friends need to come with a warning label. Society is never ready. I’m never ready.
K.L. Savage decided they were tired of looking for the kind of books they wanted to read. They had an itch that needed to be scratched, and as every girl knows, nothing scratches better than an alpha.
They write about gritty, alpha males, sometimes their dark sides, and the women they love.
If you have the same itch, their alpha males should fix that.
