Save Me
The standalone sequel novel to Promise Me: A Love Story series by CJ Thomas.
Note from the author: This is Trent’s happily ever after. Get caught up with what happened before this story ever took place and read my Promise Me series first.
Paige told me to go to Paris. It was a destination on our bucket list, something we’d wanted to do together. I wasn’t supposed to be going alone. She was supposed to be here, with me. But she wasn’t. She was gone. Torn from my life but not my heart. No, inside my heart she was still there, living, smiling down upon me and telling me to be strong. And that’s what made this trip so god damn hard. I needed her here with me. To keep me from falling apart and giving up completely. And maybe she was here with me, watching over me, because I don’t know if I would have ever met Elyse if it wasn’t for Paige. Now, if only one of them could just save me, then maybe I could find reason to love again.
Save Me is a complete standalone novel with no cliffhanger. It follows the life of Trent and is in the same world as the Promise Me series, as well as the Ruin Me series.
Save Me also includes a bonus book, Beyond Tonight Vol. 1, for my readers’ continued enjoyment. Thank you for making this all possible.

Second chance at love
I was heart broken at the end of Promise Me. The love between Trent & Paige was beautiful, I hated to see it come to an end.
Save Me is truly touching! I laughed and cried. Elyse and Trent meet on a plane headed to Paris & they instantly hot it off. But they have obstacles to over come. This book is truly touching, it has a real life story line and it kept me turning the pages. It's so worth reading, but have tissues near by.

Fantastic HEA for Trent
Trent’s story has been a tough one from the beginning, but this HEA is the absolute best for him. Elyse and Trent both have been through a major tragedy with their spouses, and neither really are ready to start over...but the pull between them make them realize it’s time. There’s still a few tears in this one, but mostly happier ones.

very good, but still sad.
Very deep emotionally. This was not the happily ever after with hearts and rainbows. It is a look at grieving and loss, with hope for a life after loss. The struggles these two go through evoke tears, so keep the Kleenex handy. Need an upbeat love story next- these past two books have really wrung out the emotions! Recommend.

Trent... OMG Trent. When his and Paige's story ended I was devastated. I was beyond excited to hear Trent was getting an HEA!! I so so wanted him to have one!
Tenet and Elyse have such a sweet and fun story. Of course there are some bumps in their road. But I loved this story so much!! READ IT!

I'm so happy that Trent was given a HEA. i love how this book talks about his love for Paige and his struggles with his grief and how to fall in love again

In the first chapter the words of loss and longing are so beautiful carried on for Promise Me I am completely choked up.

I fell in love with Trent in Promise Me. My heart broke along with his when he lost Paige. Now he has a chance, after two years, to move on. Meeting Elyse on the plane to Paris may be fate stepping in. Their immediate mutual attraction is palpable. Will it be enough to help them both move on in their lives?
