If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would. This book was on my most anticipated list from the moment I found out Jennifer was writing it. I loved the plot & story line in the first two installments but I must admit this one is my favorite. This book pulled so many emotions from me I truly felt the love Adam had for Brynn through the writing. The twists & turns had me shocked, and the story line made me not want to put the book down when it was time to sleep. Brynn is a character that pulled at my heart strings, her life was filled with so much tragedy and through it all she remained strong, you can't help yourself as a reader to pray she gets the happiness she deserves. I think Jennifer did a phenomenal job writing this book. I didn't want this book to end, but the ending was bittersweet and made this journey well worth the time. In my opinion this book could be read as a stand alone, but I HIGHLY recommend the whole trilogy. The characters have a permanent place in my heart. Thank you Jennifer for allowing me to BETA read for you, it was an honor!

***** 5 Cranky Stars *****
Thank your lucky stars that you can get the whole series at once now. This series is amazing and highly recommend. I will try to do the final book justice with this review but if I were you I'd just buy the series now.
There's so many characters in this series but I never once got lost in translation. Adam is still plagued by guilt and Eva is trying to start her life out as an adult. The series starts with Brynn as a young girl and shows all the challenges and pain that she's endured. The pain and challenges continue and keep you turning pages. I don't want to ruin the series by giving anything away so I'm going to keep this vague.
Nothing is what it seems. No one is immune to the pain, danger and the suspense that keeps you connected to this story. Jennifer Sivec did an amazing job with series and I can't recommend it enough.

I love this series.
This book pulled at every emotion I have.
My heart goes out to Adam. All he ever wanted was Brynn. He stayed by her through everything. The good, the bad and the ugly. He waited years for his love to wake-up. I can't say anymore or it'll give it away.
Poor Eva can't catch a break. It's hard without a mom. Even harder when she's right there and can't hear what she thinks, be there for her in every way like a mother should. She meets Chris, thinking Hey this is what I've been missing only to find out something completely different.
Nick is amazing. His love for Brynn never stopped. When he finally gets the guts up he realizes it and goes to see her only to find out she's in a coma from the accident. Still he try's to talk to her.
Jack comes in at the right time. He's handsome, sweet, and loves. He's not looking for anyone. It just happened.
This series is a must read. You won't regret it.

Well, what can I say but Wow that was intense. Poor Adam is wishing and hoping that Brynn will wake up. He misses so much with all of his sorrow.
Poor Eva can't seem to catch a break. it must be hard to live without your mother who is there in body and one that is not awake. At least she has Kelly. They she has Chris. Only that is so twisted when you read about it.
I also felt sorry for Nick who only wanted Brynn and couldn't because of her accident. All of this just seems so mixed up and twisted because of the car wreck. The beginning to an end.
This book did not disappoint. I am so glad I finally got to read it and see the continuation of their lives.

This is such an amazing series. A must read. This is the final book in the Eva Series. I laughed and cried through the whole book. It's written so well. The characters are amazing. I love how she made them seem so real. What a great way to end this series. You will not be disappointed. I love all of Jennifer Sivec's books. I volunteered to review a copy of this book.

I received this book as an ARC copy and am volunteerly leaving my review. This was such an amazing conclusion to such an emotional and wonderful series. If you have not read the first 2 books, "Saving Eva" and "Losing Eva", do not read this book yet. This is a series that I highly recommend to every reader. This entire series is filled with every single emotion that a person can feel and it also has some of the most heartbreaking situations that can occur in life not just in a work of fiction. I am so impressed by how Jennifer Sivec successfully created such an amazing series with the most amazing characters and the way she went into great detail with bringing those characters to life. I fell in love with each character and I felt all of their emotions as if they were happening to me. This is and will always be one of my most favorite book series ever written and I am so very grateful that I was one of the lucky ones who was able to be there from the beginning and had the opportunity to be a part of Jennifer's ARC team.

Great series
I absolutely loved this series! You get completely hooked on the characters and this story as Jennifer writes about the good, the bad, and the ugly. It’s a perfect mix of love and romance, as well as mystery and the thrilling twists and turns. My only problem is the grammatical errors I noticed in all three novels. But it doesn’t affect the storyline!

What a great final book in the series. So much happens In this book not even sure how to review it properly. Eva so many characters so many endings, beginnings and cleared up stories. Past and present collide hard in this book, I loved it. What an amazing series

A very uplifting novel about forgiving yourself and finding your way to move on through tough times. Excellent read!!!

Sometimes when you start a series you have a vision in your head of how it will end. Sometimes the series ends exactly how you envisioned and you walk away pleased. Sometimes it ends the exact opposite and you throw the book in frustration. The Eva series ended not how I envisioned it, but in a way that made the entire storyline complete. Every character we met has fulfilled the hopes they promised to us since book one and then some. I love the depth in Brynn's transformation, I love Adam's enduring persistence, and I love Eva's youthful outlook on life. This was a perfect closure to the series and I am glad that I got the chance to read it. Emotionally heartbreaking and uplifting, Saving Eva is absolutely superb.

I read this book, not having read the first two in the series. However, I don't think that affected my reading experience at all. Saving Eva is unexpected, in many ways. I loved the relationships throughout the story, both the good and bad. Brynn and Eva, mother and daughter are two very strongly written female leads. The men in the story are also very well written. I didn't expect the book to affect me as much as it did. I loved the whole storyline and how you didn't know exactly what was going to happen from one chapter to the next. I definitely recommend this book and now will probably go back and read the other ones.

In the final book of The Eve Series, Saving Eva, I was completely and utterly lost in the pages as I desperately needed to know how it ended. From Leaving Eva, through Losing Eva, and now Saving Eva my heart was a mess of emotions from sad decisions that broke me, tragic loss, anger and most of all love. You want so badly for Brynn and Eva to have the happy ending they deserve. The incredible writing of Jennifer Sivec makes you feel as if you are there with Brynn throughout her life. Such a wonderful book. Such an incredible series. I am sad that it has ended.

Jennifer Sivec has done it again with a well written novel. It has the twists and turns that any reader would want to keep turning the pages. She had away of keeping the reader hooked with the story and characters involved. The readers learn who to love and who to hate throughout this trilogy. I believe it ended on a high note and loving one too.
Eva and Brynn both had a lot on their plate in the books. But one thing for sure is they found what they both needed in the end. Which is what any person needs in life love, family and friendship. They had many obstacles over a life time of pain, until it all settled into a normal routine. Or as normal as they could get it.
If you want to read an action packed and romantic series than this is the one for you to check out. I highly recommend that you pick up from book one and read through the series, along with all of Jennifer Sivec's books.

I received this book for free as an ARC for a honest review. This was the 3rd and final book in the "Eva Series" and for anyone who hasn't read this series yet, I recommend you do. For those of us who had gotten the opportunity to read each book just as soon as they were each completed, this last book had us waiting for this conclusion and that wait was most definitely worth it. I fell in love with the characters immediately and by doing so, I felt every emotion that they experienced as if each event was happening to me personally. "Saving Eva", had given us the final chapters of each characters lifetime, whether we were left with happy tears or ones filled with heartbreak. I admit that I was left with both. In the end, every situation was put together perfectly. Thank you Jennifer, for sharing this beautiful story with all of us.

I am so glad that I got all three books close together as I don't think I could have waited patiently for the next. I have to say that this is the best of the three.
Adam's undying love for Brynn reaps rewards he never knew were possible. Even though Brynn has been in a coma for 20 years, he never gives up hope that she will wake up. If only he could get his drinking under control.
Eva meets the love of her life, Chris, but is he too good to be true?!
Everyone is happy and life is ticking along nicely when, WHAM! There's always someone from the past wanting to throw a spanner in the works!
Jennifer takes you on a roller coaster of emotions. You cry, love, laugh, recoil and cry again. It's a bitter sweet ending which you half expect, with a twist!!!
You need to read all three to get the full feel and depth of all the characters.
Well done Jennnifer.

Book three in this series did not disappoint. Saving Eva is the final book in the series, it is just as emotional, just as heart wrenching at times, but so well done. Although I enjoyed all of the books, this was probably my favorite. Jennifer Sivec definitely can spin a story and captures the heart and emotion of flawed characters, broken dreams, and shattered hearts. Great book.

* I received an ebook from the author, but that in no way influenced my opinion or review. *
This is the 3rd book in the series and you really do need to read the previous books to understand what is going on in this one. You could pick it up and be ok, but you won't get the full experience of the book or series without reading the previous two books. This book does pick up right where book 2 leaves off and the reader can instantly jump in and be fine, the author does a little re-cap but it is short and doesn't drive the reader nuts.
Brynn is still in a coma, 20 years later and life has continued on without her. Her daughter is all grown up and is ready to get married....but she still yearns for her mom. The plot is unique, and I did enjoy it, however, the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is that the odds of this really being able to happen are so impossible that the reader doesn't buy into the story 100%. I felt like I always had this "yeah, ok, whatever-ness" going on in the back of my mind that the story just didn't click at this point.
The plot is unpredictable, the characters compelling, and the karma is almost instant, but there is a lot going on....there are a lot of sub-stories that the reader really needs to pay attention. This is not a mindless read, this is the creator of book hang-overs....the reason that no book after this one will compare....it's just a lot. It's not bad being a lot, it is just a lot to tackle, comprehend and read....and the author does an amazing job with weaving the tale for the reader. She has them laughing, crying, yelling, and at times shaking their head in pure disbelief. This book has all of the feels and it takes no prisoners.
If you haven't read anything by this author, you need to start with this series and hold on tight - it's a bumpy ride! Sit back and be prepared to think about nothing but this story and these characters for days to come.

omg this whole series is awesome! this one has several deaths and people telling lies. its the continuing story. this one the woman has been in a coma for years she missed out on her daughters life. more people are hurt and lives are destroyed. thanks for giving me a chance to read this book!
April 27, 2017
This is a fast-paced, emotionally gripping tale that had not wanting to put the book down. There characters are complex and likable even when they shouldn't be.this is the third and final book in the series and I had no trouble following the story. The author does a great job of giving enough backstory so that I didn't feel lost. This is a wonderful story.
I received a copy of this manuscript from the author, my review has been voluntarily submitted.

What a beautiful story of life, love, family, betrayal, loss OMG, this book has it all!! I haven't read the first two books in this series but reading this I didn't feel as if I were missing out on anything. A definite Must Read and be prepared with Kleenex!!
April 29, 2017
This is a real shocker. There is so much going on in this book make sure you really have time to devote to the story because it is going to suck you in. This is the third book in the series and you should read 1/2 to know what is going on. Sadly I started with this book and was a bit off put but was able to figure out what was going on and wow this is one heck of a book. Very good.
