Review / Release Blitz: His Saving Grace (Austin After Dark #4) by Alexa Padgett


HIS SAVING GRACE
Alexa Padgett
Release Date: September 16

Jasmine Grace believed love had abandoned her, leaving only the deep regrets of a painful past. Then Steve Lincoln strides into her life—a rugged military veteran with haunted eyes and a heart barricaded by scars. Their connection ignites faster than a Texas wildfire.

Haunted by his own demons, Steve fears that surrendering to love will unleash the monster he believes himself to be. Yet, their kids see what Jasmine and Steve can’t: two souls meant to heal each other.

As sunsets paint the Texas sky in hues of gold and amber, Jasmine and Steve confront their pasts, embrace second chances, and, just maybe, learn to trust in love again...

MY REVIEW


After a life filled with pain since her first husband died, Jasmine wants love and companionship, but the man she's looking to seems to have too much baggage for that to ever happen. She can tell him all she wants, that he deserves love, but until he believes it too, she and Steve are destined to just be friends of a sort.

Steve knows he should just leave Jasmine to the dating it seems she's picked up, but he just can't. He can't let go of the vision he has in mind - of the two of them together for the rest of their lives. But he has so much baggage on his shoulders, in his heart that he can't figure out how to get out from behind it. If he really wants Jasmine to be his forever, he needs to figure himself out, because she deserves love with someone who isn't so damaged that he can't even tell her how he feels.

This later in life (50s) story really tugs at the heartstrings. Jasmine and Steve both had so much pain they were carrying around, and really deserved to live out the rest of their lives surrounded by love, their children, and their grandchildren. I hurt for both of them, especially Steve, and wondered how/if he was going to get rid of all the weight he carried in his heart. Thank God they found each other and all the love and healing they deserved.

Review: Waiting for You by Kate McBrien

Review of Waiting for You by Kate McBrien Justin and Lucy are apart, but for how long? Lucy's staying with her parents, but knows she needs to get out and start living her life again. But when she gets a chance to go to London, it just may be her chance to reunite with the man whose soul has been entwined with hers for centuries upon centuries. But first, our two fated lovers will have to not only reunite, but stay together, beat the odds and the people and/or forces who are trying to keep them apart. Waiting for You is a great followup to Discovering You. Justin and Lucy's story is exciting and passionate, and the mystical/fantasy/paranormal aspect just adds another interesting layer to their already wonderful connection. I normally don't read a lot of paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi romance anymore, but I loved it here in Waiting for You. It's subtle, but ever present and as I said, just makes their story all the more intriguing. I can't wait for the conclusio...
