MAN! This story was dark! and deep!
Poor Dancer. He went through hell, more than once and despite all the many many times he acted badly toward Carrie she never gave up on him. She probably should have, a couple of times, actually, but I'm sure glad she didn't.

Wow
This deals with a number of dark subjects and it doesn't shy away. But it is handled well. This book was surprisingly good. I have never read this author and bought it on a whim. I would highly recommend it, but know that it is dark. It is so worth the read if you can handle darker subjects.

I wasn't sure what to expect when reading this one as I didn't enjoy the first book as I thought I would, but I love it when I'm wrong.
I fell hook, line and sinker on the first page.
I haven't come across many books where the male was a sexual assault victim and Jordan Marie did a wonderful job playing with my emotions on this one.
The inner turmoil of a big burly biker being a victim of such an act, that he sees himself as weak has made for a fantastic read, and I don't mean that in a sick and twisted way.
It was nice to see if from a male POV.
Jacob "Dancer" Blake was sent inside for two years for saving his little sister's best friend and his love interest, Carrie, from a certified rape attack. The acts of violence towards him while inside broke this man beyond recognition.
"Got something for you, pretty boy," the voice says as the darkness encloses around me. It was six words. Six words that would destroy me and start me on my path.
When released his anger and blame is directed toward Carrie.
"Hi Jacob," she whispers into the room and it makes me want to scream and roar at her. I don;t want her here. I don't want to see her, I don't want to deal with her and I sure as hell don;t want to hear that sweet voice saying my name. She's poison; she's a fucking knife to the gut repeatedly stabs. She's the reason my head is all messed up, that my life is all screwed up and most of all, she is the reason i want to swallow a fucking bullet.
He battles internally with himself on whether to carry on, That's the last thought I have before I release the park break, jam it into drive, and lay on the gas.
The blame against Carrie, Can she take away all the darkness?
The feeling of never being good or clean enough for Carrie, I should walk away, a huge part of me is even demanding it. My brain just keeps playing Russian roulette with my memories and sooner or later the wrong will escape and take... everything.
Until he's at his worst. I'm lying here in vomit with my pants undone, with my brothers watching. Is this rock bottom?
For me Jordan Marie did a stunning job of mixed emotions, horrible actions, and attempted isolation, of a man grieving for something taken with no consent. A man who suffered the fate of what he saved Carrie from.
A real page turner and highly recommended. :)

I wasn't sure what to expect with this story after having read Dragon's story. However, this story had me in its clutches from the prologue. The author covered a pretty rare topic that is not often talked about, especially in MC romance, that made my heart hurt. Regardless of who it happens to it is never a positive thing however, there is a hypocrisy to it happening to someone like Dancer/Jacob. I like that the author touched on this. I liked Carrie's patience and I liked with her love that he grew and healed.
My issue with the story was that there wasn't a resolution to the people that had been complicit or participants. I am hoping that in time that will come out as this storyline progresses. I am looking forward to the next book.
I read this as part of the Savage Brothers boxset but wanted to review the separate book too.

Guess I was hoping for a little MORE :|

I am a big fan of Jordan Marie. Breaking Dragon was fantastic read, and was counting down to Saving Dancer. Jordan Marie kept saying how difficult it was to write this book, what a challenge it is, and I didn't understand. I do now. It was addictive. It was traumatizing. It was full of love. It was full of hate. It was full of grief. It was full of revenge, the worst of all evils. Carrie has loved Jacob Blake (Dancer) since she was five. She went after that love at 18, setting off a chain of events that almost destroys everyone. Finally released, Dancer is a shadow of his former self, destroyed by his experiences in prison. The club is protecting Carrie from an unknown evil. Now that Dancer is free he feels the need to protect her, but blames her for the past. Dancer wants to love her, but hates her. He will battle with many emotions, memories,bad dreams, and desires. This is a story of conflict and resolution. This the story that shows that there is a fine line between love and hate. The question is what path with Dancer take.
