When Michael Brannan and Angel Rivas last saw each other, things were not exactly hearts and flowers. Giving in to peer pressure, Michael broke Angel's heart, and she's never forgotten it. But when Fate brings them together again, Michael will do anything to show Angel how much he's changed.
Saving Me is the third book in the Knights of Red Horse series by Bella Juarez. It's a short hot little read, a quickie, if you will. I enjoyed the book well enough, but I really wish that there had been a lot more development of the characters. One minute Angel could barely tolerate Michael, still stinging over his rejection in high school, and the next, well, they more than kissed and made up. Although the two had known each other before, this felt a lot like insta-love, which always gives me pause. Had the book been longer, I believe that I would have enjoyed seeing how Michael and Angel's relationship unfolded over time, and seeing each of them evolve as people. As it is, I'd give 4.5 stars for the steam factor and the fact that the book is well-written, with a final rating of 4, because I really really wish that there had been more of the story to sink my teeth into. But, if you're looking for a super-hot erotic short, grab this one, as it just may be what you're looking for.

SAVING ME is a very quick but enjoyable read. Juarez managed to give a story that felt complete that actually encompassed a little suspense with Angel's mystery stalker. There is also a lot of heat when Mike enters the picture through an unusual service. Mike's relationship with Angel also ends up having a nice twist.
The only problem that I have with SAVING ME is that I would have loved to have had more. Juarez made Mike and Angel interesting and likable so I really wanted to get more in the way of both character and romance building. I also would have liked to have gotten more of a storyline with Angel's brother Marc. The little nuggets about him that Juarez drops would be enough to give him a book of his own with a well deserved HEA. See? This is why short reads are so hard for me. If I enjoy it, which I did; I want more, which I do. However, if you are looking for a quick, sexy, and enjoyable short read SAVING ME is a safe bet.
