Kat Owens has moved
away from Charlotte NC to accept a position at a small marketing agency,
Sinclair Marketing Group or SMG. This is a fresh start for Kat, a chance to
earn the VP position that would finally prove to her family that she is doing
something with her life, not just floating by like her parents think. While at
a party for SMG, Kat runs into Erik Monteague, the one night stand from thirteen
months ago that she hasn’t been able to forget or move on from. Kat doesn’t
have time to be distracted by Erik, she needs to reach her goal, and
unfortunately a man in her life doesn’t fit into that goal at this
time.
Erik Monteague, owner
of Monteague Boating, is a client of SMG. Erik can’t believe that Kat is in the
same room as him after all this time. He is the one who normally walks away,
but when she left from their one night together before he woke up, he thought he
would never see her again. Erik is a typical playboy, he doesn’t do
relationships anymore, not since ten years before when he lost his almost
fiancé. There is something about Kat though, something that keeps him wanting
more, but his past won’t let him.
The way that Kat and
Erik interacted was believable and not forced. You could tell that the passion
they shared that single night all those months ago hadn’t died in the tiniest
bit, and when they would get together again the passion would ignite, and it
did! I loved when Kat didn’t take anyone’s shit, especially from Elise, Kat's nemesis and her message
to Erik was hysterical. Kat felt that until she made VP she would never make
her family proud, especially her Granddad (which I loved that she called him
that because that was what I called my grandpa).
I felt for Erik, the
incident that happened ten years before really did serious damage. He had short
term affairs, never any form of relationship since that time, and never wanted
more until he was with Kat. He tried to keep his feelings from forming into
more and when he failed at that, he did the typical guy thing, he pushed Kat
away. When his past almost recreates itself with Kat, he finally opens his eyes
to see that he needs Kat in his life and that she has helped him
heal.
This is the first book
in the Heat Wave series, and I really enjoyed it. I am looking forward to the
rest of this series. I was able to read this is one afternoon; I can only do
that if the book really draws me in, and Savin’ Me drew me in from the
start.
*****Savin' Me is currently free until the end of this week!!!******
