Whereas Paradise Taken was in Kaye POV, this one is in Jake's POV and starts towards the end of Paradise Taken. Although many of the events are concurrent the storyline is different enough that you don't feel like you are reading the same story. This is the "stuff" we did not find out or understand in the first book.**Spoilers Ahead if you did not read book one**I have so much I want to say about these books that I don't even know where to start. I adored Paradise Taken, but Saving Us went above and beyond. The writing was phenomenal, I FELT EVERYTHING. I read this book as quick as life would let me. When I HAD to put it down I was so annoyed! It was one of those kinds of books.The way Paradise Taken ended left me raw, and emotionally spent. But I HAD TO KNOW what happened with the baby. We KNOW he is not dead, so why did Kaye say he was? What could possibly have forced her to be so cruel?I'd like to put it out there that you will NOT get these answers immediately. We go through a lot with Jake and Kaye before that happens. We see just how much he loves her, and just how wonderful a person he is despite the affair. He did not want to love her like he did, he just couldn't help it.We also get a good look into Rob, Kaye's husband. And wow... He is a real d#@kh%ad. He is controlling, arrogant, narcissistic, and by the end I wanted to kill him myself. I thought he was an okay guy that got hurt in Paradise Taken, but I ended up being glad Kaye left him because he became a monster.And Claire. Oh poor Claire :( She is an amazing woman--truly the real "heroine" of the novels. I wanted so badly for her not to hurt, but I knew that there was nothing to be done.And the sex--somebody ice me down! Wow! It is from a man's POV so I am not shocked that he thought about sex a lot - It read like an erotic romance. Which was just fine with me ;)"No one will ever love you as I have for twenty years. This is us, right here, right now, forever feeling what we do to each other. Even at my simplest touch, you're about to come. This is us, Kaye, forever. Never forget."Overall, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this two book series. I did like this one a little more than the first because I thought the Author's writing had evolved from good to great. Like I said before, she had me on the edge of my seat the ENTIRE time with Saving Us.~StacyHggBooks Unhinged Book Blog
