Saving Emilee

By J.A. Smith
Saving Emilee by J.A. Smith digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The thing about growing up in a small town is that everyone knows you. They know your secrets. They know your shame. It's something that you can never get away from, no matter how invisible you are to those around you. No matter how desperately you just want to be seen.

By someone.

By anyone.

Before it's too late.

 

Emilee Jackson has lived in Independence her entire life. But she's still alone in her day-to-day struggles. She doesn't have anyone to turn to when her home life starts to fall apart. Even her friends turned their backs on her when she needed them the most.

Until a handsome stranger comes into the diner where she works. The only person to really see her as a person in need of a little help. Maybe even a little love.

 

Landon Strong isn't a stranger to life in a small town. He was raised in Independence by his grandparents, but he got away. As a successful architect, he started a new life for himself in the city. Closing out his grandparents' estate has brought him back to small-town life temporarily where he instantly falls for the innocent waitress at the diner.

Taking a risk he never thought he would take, Landon takes Emilee under his wing – into his protection.

But can he protect her when her past comes back for her?

Will he be able to get to her in time before everything they've worked toward together is torn apart before it ever really gets a chance to begin?

 

Saving Emilee is a complete standalone. It is a spicy contemporary romance written in dual POV with themes and content suitable for readers over the age of 18. While you may find Easter Eggs leading to other books written by the author, it is not necessary to read any of the other books in order to fully enjoy this one.

 

Trigger Warning: Saving Emilee includes rough and sometimes intense scenes that may be triggering to some readers including domestic abuse (not by MC) and kidnapping (Not by MC).

“"The story that I’ve been putting together for the last nineteen years was obviously written by some emo kid on a drunken bender after breaking into daddy’s liquor cabinet and swallowing a bottle of mommy’s anxiety pills." I don't know why but I love this quote from this book. It feels real and uncensored. Emilee is stuck in her hometown as a waitress at the local diner. Forced to endure unimaginable things, she remains invisible to those she grew up around. That is, until a stranger walks in. Landon sees Emi immediately and refuses to do anything less than protect her at every turns. But when it means the most, will be be able to protect her from the past? Let me say this, I immediately requested this book because sometimes I need a little emotional trauma. IYKYK”
“I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I started this book with high expectations. I have read other works by this author, and I like the way that she writes. This is a wonderful palate cleanser if you’re needing some thing between rains. It’s a wholesome, sweet, small town romance with the mfc being from the small town, mmc being from the big city, but grew up in said small town. It was a joy to be an arc reader for this book I can’t wait to see what else comes from this author. I don’t know if it was intended or not, but I could see the twist coming from the beginning of the book. For the type of book that it is, it works out perfectly but personally, I would’ve liked to have had a little bit longer spent in that middle ground where the twist happened. (That could just be from my dark romance reading lately). All in all wonderful book and I would recommend it to anybody that needs a palate cleanser or a small town romance. just a ground you back down to reality.”
