Reviews by Carrie & Toski
Toski: Save Me from Me is a story of a small town girl Dani- who tried to escape the "small town life" only to be drug back after the death of her father.
She is now starting over - unsure of where or what she is going to do. Immediately running into her past- her high school love Gage- it seems easy to just fall back to what is familiar and comfortable. The only problem? She does not feel about him what he does for her.
Then she meets him. You know- "the One" .. He southern, hot, and new in town - perfect for a good time. She sees him for the first time outside a local bar- with her enemy Loralee.. <--- I LOATHE that nasty piece of trash. You will too.. trust me
Holden is in town working for his fathers company- he isn't looking for a relationship. He doesn't have time for that. Then he meets her. The girl who puts him in his place- while he's in a compromising position;D
What starts out as a friendship- ends up blossoming into what they both realize could be more.
A true country boy- "the dock" becomes their place. The place they come to fish.. and other stuff- It just so happens that dock was already special to Dani- so Holden is giving it a whole new meaning. Dani being obsessed with her camera, she enjoys spending time there taking pictures and enjoying the beauty that surrounds her. Including Holden.
I would say I am SO #teamHolden- which I am but I am coining #teamdock
That Dock is epic. I want me some Dock. The Dock is on my to-do list..
Then some spoilerish drama happens with Holden's D-bag father causing a huge downward spiral for Dani and Holden.. At this point- she is bugging me.. I HATE when girls can't quite being ignorant for 2.5 seconds and just communicate.. ANNOYING ME but THANK YOU JESUS I get to the Epilogue.
*** The Epi in this story warmed my heart.. I'm an epi whore- I LOVE them.
To me the Epilogue can make or break the story- it's what you are leaving me with and Erika blew me away with this one! This epi took what may have been a 4-4.5 star rating to
FIVE STARS! *****!!! Yes, it is THAT good.
If you are looking for a book with a little bit of everything- Here it is.
Carrie: I loved Saved Me From Me! I love all of Erika Ashby's books but this might just be my favorite yet.
Dani Brooks wants to pretty much forget about the small town she is from and get on with her life. When her father dies she is forced to deal with it all head on. I love Dani! She is tough and doesn't care to speak the truth. She isn't fake. She is who she is and if you don't like it she doesn't really care. We get a softer side of her too as you read.
Trying to start over isn't easy especially when a past love returns, and a new one may begin...
Dani runs into Gage her high school sweetheart, he still love her, but the feeling isn't mutual on Dani's part. Then she meets Holden Reynolds.
Yes-- Holden Reynolds is a Sweet Baby Jesus moment for me! I loved him! He's hot, tough and Dani has met her match because he's not afraid to tell it like it is and speak his mind just like her.He's not interested in dating or a serious relationship. That is until he meets Dani!
The chemistry is off the charts HOT! The dock scene! <----- get me a fan and glass of wine after that one! Erika knows how to write a HOT piece!
As they grow closer things happen that could keep the two apart. I never like giving away everything so please go read Save Me From Me to find out! I give it 5 HUGE stars! One of my favorites to wrap up 2013.
I also have to brag of the amazing cover.It is beautiful and I can't wait for the paperback to be in my hands! Love it
Synopsis
Dani refuses to lose another parent due to her absence from their life. After pulling herself back together following the death of her father, she moves back to her childhood town to live with her mom. She’s slowly pulled back into the lifestyle she worked so hard to get away from ten years ago. She accepts that this is the life she has always been destined to live. Getting a job at the store down the road and hooking back up with her first love Gage, seems to be the logical way to go…that is until Holden Reynolds shows up in town.
Now that Holden is finally back home from the Navy he plans on following in his father’s footsteps. Still trying to move on from the one woman who had his heart, he busies himself in work and returning to the country boy lifestyle he’s always loved. The best way to get over someone is to get under someone, right? That’s his mindset as he travels town to town with his job perfectly content with being a rambling man…that is until he meets Danielle Brooks.
When Dani isn't leaving and Holden isn't staying will they be able to keep themselves from getting too attached? Or will they be just what each other needs to cut all the strings that have them bound?
“You can’t save me from me, Holden.” –Dani
