Excerpt
“Sarah, you’re confusing me. Do you love him or not?” Jessie whispered as she leaned over my shoulder. I twisted my head to look at her. “Heart, mind, body, and soul. He’s taken everything, Jessie, everything and left me with nothing except a broken heart. He seemed so real, so true. He made me fall in love with him. God, Jessie, what am I going to do? I thought he was the man of my dreams. Literally. I was actually dreaming of him, Jessie. For months before I even met him.”
But Mike is determined to win her back.
My body was on fire, lust running rampant in my veins. Stepping closer still, I lowered my head to the side of her neck, to her ear. Just as I did the first time we met. My nose made contact with the shell of her ear and I brushed it with the tip of my tongue. Her hair was plastered to her neck, warm jets of water dripping off it. I slid the wet, clinging strands away, peeling the long tresses off of her throat until my hand slid across her bare skin. “What are you doing?” she gasped, pushing against my wet chest. Gazing into her hooded eyes, I saw desire swirling in their cerulean depths. “Seeing if you taste as good as I remember,” I replied and pressed my mouth to her collar bone. “Oh, Mike,” her voice trembled as hard as her body did. Her hands came up to my neck and fisted in my hair, she tugged hard for a moment. Then she pushed me away. “You shouldn’t be here. I… what you did.” A ragged sob escaped her lips. “God, what we did… in your bed. In her bed. It…how could you do that Mike? How could you betray your wife like that?

Misunderstanding and heartbreak…
Sarah Hopkins and Mike Hart fell in love but in a blink of an eye, it was lost. A misunderstanding had Sarah running and Mike in a tailspin.
This is the second of what I realize now is at least a trilogy series. There is high drama here as Mike and Sarah both try to deal with their separation. Mike’s feelings are worn on his sleeve as he really does fall apart after Sarah leaves.
I am always happy to be sucked into a “greatest love of all time” story but I’m having a hard time understanding the level of despair Mike feels when Sarah appears lost to him. I get that that they are attracted to each other, that the dreams they had of each other made them familiar to each other before they even met, but I think I am not ‘feeling’ what they are feeling, despite hearing it from their points of view. I’m with Mike’s friends and family, as they are also struggling to find answers to ‘why’.
Ending on a cliffhanger again, with no real resolution to any of the conflicts, I eagerly await the next installment. ~ Diane, 3.5 stars
This is the second book in the Saving Sarah collection. Mike and Sarah finally reconnect after a two-week hiatus. This was due to Mike having an accident and being unable to continue his search for Sarah after she ran away at the end of the first book. Both Mike and Sarah have to face up to their new found feelings and decide if they want to go with it or fight to the bitter end. Sarah believes Mike has betrayed her trust in him. She flees to L.A to be with her best friend and lick her wounds. But fate has a funny way of tying this couple together. So, do they finally get their happy ever after. They certainly have a raunchy get together and there is a surprise in store. Sarah is on a date with another man and this make Mike mad. Fists fly and not long after so do the clothes. I really enjoyed this second book and I'm looking forward to the last one. Hopefully, we'll see what that nasty man, Scott has been up to. I recommend this book to anyone who loves romance with a bit of suspense to it.
Book 1 ended with Sarah running away from Mike, after she finds the family portrait of Mike, Candice, Joey, and Megan. She thinks she slept with a married man. Mike leaves a note asking her to stay and let him explain everything, after he's called to pick up the kids from camp. No, no, no. It's time to run again. She decides to head to LA early. She has to fly since Bessie, her pink VW bug, met her fiery death. On the plane, she meets Donny the boyfriend of her best friend Jessie. She has to decide stay at hotel or stay with Donny and Jess. After Sarah left, Mike had a fall causing him to spend 2 weeks in the hospital. How is he ever going to find Sarah with all the time he's been out of commission? He will not give up and come to find out Mike knows Donny and Jessie. Will Mike and Sarah finally reunite or is this the end? What about Scott? Is he still looking for Sarah or has he given up? I highly recommend book 2 in this series, but you'll appreciate it more, if you read book 1 first. There is a book 3, but it's not available yet. I can't wait to read it!!!

I read book one and right on buy the second the series is really good and you will bite your nails, the story is one fast because get to the point and that is one thing that I like it, I felt the pain where Mike suffer!!!!!!!!! OMG this man is every woman’s dream, yes I like that, the story like I said is very well written and you going to love it!! I 100% recommend it and cannot wait for the third book, I want my HEA!!!
Good storyline but graphic sex not necessary. Also grammar and editing is atrocious. Who in the world is that bad at putting sentences together and spelling. Awful.
It's absolutely embarrassing to release a book with that many grammatical errors. A first grader could have done a better job than that.
Great second book in this series!! Picks up right were book one leaves off. Enjoying the story and characters and can not wait to see what happens next!!
