Saved

4.5 Star Review of Saved (Honor Bound Book 1) by Angel Payne This is the first book in the series and one I really enjoyed. I have read other books from Angel Payne so I jumped at the opportunity to read this book as I have always enjoyed her writing style and the depth of characters that she writes about. Garrett Hawkins is still struggling to fight his way back from the horror of the kidnapping and subsequent death of the woman he loves, Sage Weston. Not caring whether he lives or dies, he goes through the motions as a leader of a special forces team, doing his job but not really living. Imagine his absolute shock and joy to find that on his latest mission, one of the women he has been sent in to rescue is in fact Sage and her co worker Rayna, who have been presumed dead for over a year. Both Garrett and Sage struggle to re build their lives, both having changed in so many ways due to the horrors and trauma experienced. Can these two tortured souls find their way back to each other and allow the love they shared to strengthen and subsequently re-connect? Or has the past twelve months destroyed any chance that Garrett and Sage have? I loved both Garrett and Sage and so admired not only Sage but Rayna for surviving such a harrowing and traumatic experience. Garrett is an alpha and dominant male, as are all the members of his team and it was interesting to see how both he and Sage struggle to reach a compromise as they learn to be with each other again as a couple. The secondary characters of Zeke and Rayna, along with the other members of Garrett’s team were just as interesting and I cannot wait to read their stories. There was intrigue, suspense, dominant and tender moments throughout this book and at times I truly felt I was on an emotional roller-coaster of a read. I

Garrett, a high-ranking member of a military special forces unit, believes he lost the love of his life, Sage, when she was among a group of aid workers who were kidnapped and killed in the jungles of Thailand a year earlier. He is in the midst of grieving the loss of his beloved when Sage and her teammates are rescued and the world as he knows it is turned upside down. This is the first title in a series of romantic suspense novels. This is the first title I've read by the author but I'll definitely be checking out more.

OMG the love, the tension, the action, this book has it all. When Garrett finds his love Sage alive after thinking she was dead for over a year we assume everything will run smoothly but it doesnt. His darkest desires which he tries to keep buried deep in his psyche awaken quickly and he doesn't want to expose Sage to them. But to his surprise Sage wants the same things as he does but is reluctant to do because he doesn't want to ever hurt her. It takes something happening to Sage for him to finally let go of his fears and let them both have what they desperately want. This whole book is full of intrigue, humor and emotions that I didn't want to put it down. I woke up at 5am and finished it at 7:30am. i also love Zeke and Rayna and can't wait to read their story in Cuffed. I have officially fallen in love with Angel Payne 's Honor Bound Men.
