To the Steadfast Review

8/31/2015

My Review

This is not your typical romance. This is a story about young love and how we don't choose who we fall in love with. We make the wrong choices and those we love don't always love us back in the way we'd like.

Cody was in love with Misha and had been since they were kids. Although Misha seemed selfish, and to a degree he was, he had a horrible home life and I felt he was trying to do what was right by his family while not wanting to completely let go of Cody. I could understand him, we can be selfish when we're young.

Although it didn't leave me with a happy, contented feeling, I did enjoy this read and I want to read the next book in the series.

Resolute. Firm. Unwavering

That was my love for him.

Steadfast for as long as I can remember.

As my best friend's brother, he ignored me before noticing me. He protected me, bought me my first beer, but eventually became my undoing.

There was a time I would have died to get him to notice me, now I'd do anything to forget him.

I'm not the one who can tame him, and he's not the guy who will change for me.

This isn't a story about falling in love, this is a story about falling out of love.

Unrequited love.

And finding the strength to move on.

Here's to the steadfast.

*This is a standalone story that crosses years from YA into NA genre, due to heavy subject matter this book is for ages 16 and up. This is not your typical love story.*

Title: Saving Leah
Author: Misha Elliott
Publisher: Booktrope
Release Date: Sept. 22, 2015
GoodReads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26148366-saving-leah

Synopsis:
Sometimes the only thing worse than revealing a painful secret is keeping it from the one who wants to save you.
In time, fractured bones mend and torn flesh heals. But what about a fractured soul? Years of abuse have left Leah scared and broken, in solitude with the only symbol of the person she used to be-her violin.
While in hiding, she never expected to meet the handsome and alluring Asher. Can he save her before all is lost or will her secrets become the death of her?
*WARNING* This book contains adult material including violence and sexual content intended for readers over the age of 18.
Excerpt:
“Didn’t you threaten me about what would happen the next time we were here?” Leah says tauntingly. I return her grin, taking the bait. “Wasn’t a threat. It was a promise about giving you exactly what you want, what we want.” My thumb runs across her bottom lip as my lips plant soft kisses all over her face, purposely avoiding her lips. She throws her hands around my shoulders, using them as anchors as she gets up on her toes to kiss me. When her tongue moves to enter my mouth, I pull back, starting over with the slow seduction of kisses. When she gets aggressive a second time, it’s met with the same result.
PreOrder: A portion of sales from this book from September-October 2015 will be donated to charities that work with domestic violence victims.

Author

Michelle Abbott lives in the UK and hates describing herself in 3rd person.

She writes new adult romance about heroes who fight against the odds and are protective of their girl.

She's an avid reader of romance, is addicted to coffee and loves wine and chocolate, so yeah, not the most healthy eating and drinking habits :-) She spends way too much time online when she should be writing. She collects teddy bears and occasionally knits a couple of rows on a sweater she started years ago, which she may eventually finish in time to wear for her funeral :-)
