saving.

My Review:
Really captivating this fantasy/romance with two protagonists original and different from the usual. Davey and Ethan are two strong characters, brave but not perfect, and that makes them very realistic.
Davey can not wait to go to college and go to live away. At school she has had a lot of problems and was not able to express the most of her capabilities. Suddenly she is in grave danger and a very mysterious guy seems the only one who can save her.
Ethan and Davey are a great couple, the chemistry between them is magical, there are sparks since their first meeting. A young rebel and the only guy in the world able to tame it: the perfect love story.
It's the second book I read by this author and I like more and more her style: the perfect band of different genres (romance, fantasy, sci-fi), the original plots, the fast and full of suspance pace and wonderful descriptions rich in details.
This is a wonderfully written romance which I enjoyed very much.
I have no hesitation in recommending it highly.

EXCERPT:
Remington
The rusted chains squeaked in rhythm with the swing’s low
arc. Somewhere in the distance, a raven cawed. Leaves fluttered about in a
crisp breeze, adding soft whispers to the existing melody. Davey sat and let
momentum propel her higher, trying to quell the thunder inside her mind as she
thought of how things used to be.
Palmer hadn’t taken her home. Davey would never allow that.
Instead, he dropped her off at the old, abandoned home of a dead woman who
everyone in town used to love. A trail in the backyard twisted through the
woods for about a mile and then ended in Resting Pines, a trailer park
containing over a dozen single-wide mobile homes all in desperate need of
repair. Every day, just as dark started to fall, Davey abandoned her thoughts
and the swing set to take the path to trailer number six.
“Hello.”
She hadn’t heard anyone walk up, so when the male voice
called out the low greeting, Davey was startled. She turned around, saw the
navy blue uniform, and almost bolted. Her eyes narrowed in recognition, but she
didn’t relax. “No one’s breaking the law around here,” she said. “You can go
away.”
The cop kept walking toward her. His mirrored aviators hung
from his shirt pocket, so this time, Davey could see his eyes. They were a deep
grey and reminded her of a sky considering a heavy rain. He was fairly tall. It
was easy to see that his uniform hid a well-muscled body, one that probably
looked damn hot naked. Had Remington not represented the type of authority
Davey loathed, she might have considered him good-looking.
Losing interest, she turned in the swing. The cop was
unwelcome, so Davey intended to ignore him. If he didn’t take the hint and go,
she would. It was getting close to dark anyway.
Again, his voice broke through her thoughts. “What is a
creeper?”
Davey started to spin around until she realized Remington
was already in front of her. “Dude, what’s your problem?”
“As of right now, all systems are functioning normally.”
“You sound like a freaking robot.”
Laughing easily, Remington crouched down. It put him below
eye-level, since she was still sitting in the swing. “Sorry.” He ran a hand
through a high-fade of thick, dark brown hair. “I’m straight out of officer
training. Before that it was military school. I may seem a bit stiff at times.”
Davey nodded slowly. “You’re a rookie.”
“Yes.”
“Great.” She pasted an unfriendly smile onto her face.
“That’s exactly what this town needs.”
“I sense you are being sarcastic.”
“Wow. You’re probably going to make detective soon.”
For a moment, his brow creased in confusion. Then Remington
looked away. Davey regretted making fun of him. He really didn’t seem like a
bad guy. “Look,” she said, “it’s nothing personal. Today has just been kind of
tough. That’s all.”
“Today has been rough for me as well. The department likes
to have fun with the new kids.”
Glancing at the sky, Davey stood up. It was time to go.
Officer Remington got to his feet as well. His grey eyes held her in place. “I
didn’t mean to disturb you.”
She studied him for a long time. “A creeper is someone who
does weird stuff like watch people sleep or bring up crazy stuff normal people
wouldn’t talk about.”
He grinned. “Or stares at someone for extended periods of
time?”
Maybe Remington wasn’t so clueless. Davey resisted the smile
tugging at her mouth. “Yeah,” she replied shortly and started walking toward
the trail.
“What’s your name?” he called.
Davey turned but kept walking backward. “If I meet you
again, I’ll tell you.”
She had no idea she would see Officer Remington again before
the night ended.
