This is my first book by Natasha Preston and it will defiantly not be my last, she has found a new fan in me for sure.
Save me is a tale of Love, Pain, Heartbreak, Depression, Second Chances, Finding redemption and ultimately a beautiful journey of true love, self discovery, and acceptance.
PLOT
After losing the one person she is closest to Tegan goes on a downward spiral very fast with no likely way back anytime soon. Her Family is at a lost of what to do to help her.
Tegan gets from bad to worse.....enter two very different men on a mission to try and help her heal from the wounds she refuses to face.
Her Journey is a painful one with shocking devastating lows and a few uplifting, heartwarming highs. Her Family also goes on their own search for healing and trying to forge anew path in life.
The premise of the book is a really good one and that situation could happen to pretty much anyone who has lost someone close to them. Anyone who picks up this book can walk right into Tegan's shoes and experience all her ups and down through her eyes and feel her struggle.
CHARACTERS
Kai~ Oh My Lord I loved him from the get go. Sexy, Funny, Charming, Intriguing with a massive heart and a caring soul. His journey with Tegan began just a few weeks after her fathers funeral on one of her many drunken nights out he was the ninth in her one-night stands and part of her new self-destructive behavior. They clicked and he saw something in her that he recognized and an unlikely friendship / no strings attached relation ship begun which might I add is extremely HOT.
Kai presents as they typical bad boy with his tattoos and ripped jeans but he is nothing but a sweetheart with a dirty mind and mouth.
He felt something for Tegan but because he was once in her shoes but only much worse so he recognized she was in no state to start a relationship. I have to say I admire him for playing the waiting game,
I was team Kai from the start and I rooted for him to win her heart and get the girl in the end.
I loved their friendship and how it developed into something magnificent.
Will Tegan see what is right in front of her?
Will Kai ever confess his true feelings for Tegan before its too late?
Tegan~ Petite blonde bombshell with a feisty personality and sad green eyes. After the death of her Father she completely losses it, the once sweet innocent caring young girl is long gone , now replaced by a hardened exterior and a bitch persona. Drink and sex is her way to escape the pain of losing her father and that drives a wedge between her and her family. She pushes them all away and isolate herself, preferring to numb rather than deal with the pain.
Drowning in her sorrows, will Tegan be able to pull herself above water?
Has she succeeded in driving her family away forever?
Will she ever be able to get over her fathers death and move on with her life?
Lucas~I was surprised somewhat when he popped up and pretty much backed Tegan into a relationship with him......the girl is broken the last thing she needs is a relationship. Even a blind person could see that but, in the end I get why he felt the need to act upon his feelings her her.
So Lucas is the son of a heart patient that happens to have received a heart from non other than Tegan now deceased father so yeah a little messy and unconventional.
Lucas is a Handsome, Caring and genuinely a nice guy, he has an instating attraction to Tegan and once he sees just how much she is struggling he really wants to help her. And you have to like him for that, she was a mess but he saw beyond that.
Can a relationship born from tragedy survive the deadly waters of grieve and Tegan's self destructive behavior?
SEXY FACTOR
**Fans Self** Hell yes there was plenty Of Sex in this book to keep even a horny bunny satisfied.
Kai and Tegan's hook up are just smocking, detailed and well written. there two have a great sexual chemistry. And just to clear things up just in-case there are any confusion. Once Tegan started seeing Lucas she ended her sexual relationship with Kai but her became her best friend, spending time together whenever they can.
Tegan and Lucas physical relationship is more toned down but still Hot.
The sex is written very well and not repetitive each scene had something different and new, I enjoyed every single one especially that bike scene in the woods....oh and the Tent.....by the lake. well I liked it a lot.
SUMMERY
Over all a very well rounded book, that is very well written with a heartfelt plot and down to earth characters that are relateble and very much likable.
The flow is good I loved that the book is written from all three POV's it allowed a much deeper connection to the characters and understanding.
I took off one star because somewhere along the way I lost a bit of connect to the story and characters, for a few chapters but apart from that I do not have a bad word to say about Save Me.
If you are looking for a book that has it all a heartfelt, plot and great characters with two hot guys and real pain that bleed from the pages then this book is for you.
Give it a shot it might just surprise you, the way it did me.
4/5 From Natasha xxx
