This is a slow-burn, real-world, contemporary romance, crime fiction story with hints of paranormal sprinkled in. It's 433 pages so there's plenty of room for the author to weave all these elements in carefully, purposefully, and with a sense of calm and purpose. The characters feel real and make real-world decisions the reader can relate to...

The story opens with Lieutenant Savannah Warner being injured on the job--and because of that injury, she's away when someone she cares deeply for is taken from her life. She needs time away from the job and finds a house to lease-to-own in a nearby small town. Unfortunately, the house needs some repairs. As does Savannah. As does her new landlord. The symbolism is fantastic.

There are paranormal elements that slowly creep in and pile on top of one another so smoothly that you accept them perfectly...they make perfect sense. They fit into the tapestry of the story Bloodsteel weaves until the climax of the story rips the mask off and reveals all. (I have a longer review of this in the SandySaysRead booktube channel.)

So Captivating

Author J.R. Bloodsteel hooks me from page one in "Our Saving Grace" is a story about Savannah and her new life. She moves out of the city and meets Brady, her landlord. They both face challenges but find a special connection. The book talks about how things happen for a reason and the power of friendship and love.

If you like stories about people finding themselves and falling in love, you'll enjoy this book.

This book was a great read. It made me laugh, cry, cuss a little, and smile a lot. The characters are very relatable and the story comes full circle. It's been a while since I'd read a book that was hard to put down. This one kept me reading because I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I hope there will be a sequel one day.
