I really enjoy Gina Whitney's writing in general but Saving Abel was not exactly my favorite story by her. Every character seemed to have some drama or hidden agenda that the story just felt over the top at times. I never connected with Gia or Abel and they didn't seem to connect with each other -- well sexually they did but not emotionally. The story was super steamy...super! However, I felt that the strength of the story hinged more on the sexual interactions between the characters rather than other interactions -- such as their relationship itself. And, Gia and Abel weren't the only two characters who seemed not to connect together well. Gia and BFF Cindy felt more like frenemies than true friends and their interactions with each other were...awkward.Be prepared to loathe Gia's mother and Morgana. Two major witches! I will commend Whitney on her book villains. She writes them quite well in all of her books, and these two "ladies" are no exception. Vile!I also credit Whitney for crafting a unique story -- a Dom rocker! Never seen that done before. I liked the plot twist about Gia and who and what she really was. Major cliffy there. But, I am intrigued and look forward to seeing how Whitney resolves their conflict. That story promises to have much more potential to allow a deeper connection between the characters.
