Week 1 - Rescued, book 1 in The Salvaged Series
At age sixteen, survival was all Colt Adams aimed for. Now at nineteen, he’s a college student and like all students who have finished their finals, Colt just wants to have fun and experience new things at local club DJ’s. But a night of harmless flirting turns dangerous when Colt collapses in the arms of a handsome uniformed stranger.
Who is this guy and why does he stay at Colt’s side until he wakes in the ER?
The past continues to haunt Colt but he’s not the only one running from regrets and memories he wishes to leave for dead. Can these two put their histories behind them to look to the future?

Colt has been on his own
since he was sixteen when his already abusive father tossed him out on the
lawn, literally, when he came out. Three years of making bad, but necessary,
choices and Colt is finally in a good place. He's in college, has a room in the
dorms, life is actually pretty good. Then a night at a local club ends
disastrously. Waking up in the ER with no memory of how you got there, not to
mention the hot guy you were watching is sitting next to your hospital bed, are
things Colt should definitely be concerned about.
Chris is just a few years older than Colt, has a
similar darkness in his past with his father and is also working his way through
college to be a Paramedic. He notices Colt the moment he walks into the club,
his clothing, his shy demeanor, everything about Colt says he should not be in
the club. The two exchange a few looks and shy smiles across the club,
thankfully, so when Colt gets into a little trouble, Chris is there to ensure
he is okay.
The first story in a new series that has
potential. Chris and Colt are smitten with each other from that first glance,
that first shy, awkward smile. They have a lot more in common than either of
them even realize until closer to the end of the book. There were a few things
in the story that didn't mesh, couple times the change from one thing to the
next felt choppy, but overall I really liked this book. I'm intrigued
thoroughly... I want to know why the nurse in the ER called Colt by name,
before she was told his name. I want to know what's going to happen with Colt
and his estranged mother. And I especially must know where the next book will
take Colt and Chris.
There is definite chemistry that must be explored,
and though the potential for a relationship seems rushed, it will make more
sense when their pasts are fully revealed. Tortured souls tend to gravitate to
each other, and I'm hoping they can help each other heal. If you are looking for
a new Author or series with great potential, solid storyline and pretty well
developed characters, give this one a go.
Be sure to stop back by next week when I spotlight Evans Christmas novella and the first
of a 3 part Author Q&A will post!
