*Please read the first 2 books if you haven’t already. My review will contain some spoilers since it starts off where book 2 ended.*Amanda Heath brings us Rachel and Pierce’s story in this 3rd installment Save Me picks up where book 2 ends, with Rachel announcing a surprise.Amanda Heath open’s up the story in the prologue, we get to see how Pierce and Rachel’s life changed one night 7 weeks ago. After Annabelle ripped Pierce’s heart out by saying the words he never thought would come out or her mouth, “I can never love a weak man like you” , Pierce found something to take the pain away, actually Rachel found him, and that is how their story and life begins. If you are a fan of the series like I am, you know that Pierce has been in love with Annabella Gage for 11 years. Annabella was his world, she was conniving, evil and self-centered, and was dating his older brother Van. Pierce finally thought he had Annabelle for himself, but like the b**** that she is, she broke his heart, leaving him.Rachel is Channing’s sister, who we got to meet in the first book. She has long brown hair and brown eyes that hold a secret. After one night with Pierce Rachel finds out she is pregnant, but the sad part is to it all is he is the one person she knows nothing about. They didn’t really talk much before that night and things didn’t seem to change after either. However, That one night Pierce and Rachel shared more with each other and it wasn’t all about sex. Pierce was left broken hearted by Annabelle and Rachel’s boyfriend Kellan had just broken up with her. 7 weeks later, Wesley comes out and drops a bomb in front of Channing, Paisley, Kellan and Pierce that leaves them all stunned.“Rachel’s pregnant.”“This baby is Pierce’s. Not yours. I slept with him the night you dumped me.”If you know anything about this series, you know there are clicks and after this announcement was made, friendships and lines were crossed. Pierce is known as an ass in this series, so his response to the situation took me by surprise. He does not want her to get rid of the baby and he wants to be there for her.“You want me to get rid of it?”“Are you f****** nuts? I’d never ask you to get rid of a baby. It’s not the kids fault we got into this situation.”“I promise it’s going to be okay.”“I know it is G. I’m going to make sure it is.”Rachel’s parents want them to get married, but they don’t know it’s about their history and how they were only a one night stand. Pierce and Rachel decide while she is pregnant they will get to know each other and see how their relationship will evolve in the next 8 months. If they things are right then then they’ll decide if they should get married. The relationship evolves easily and it was enjoyable to read. They both had the support of each other and their friends. Pierce grew so much with the news of him becoming a father we see his protective instincts also kick in. The relationship is not a contemporary one, and things change quickly for the pair. Going form not talking and spending time together to one of exploring and getting to know each other. One thing these two did not lack was chemistry. Their sexual chemistry that was off the charts hot.“I’m glad you wanted to be here. I like you with me, I’m gonna kiss you, then I’m gonna take this shirt off and play with these pretty nipples, after that, I’m gonna take these little shorts off and use my mouth until you can’t take anymore.”“Please”“No need to beg, G. You don’t ever have to beg with me, I’ll give you what you want, just ask.”Things are not easy for the couple. Kellan is spreading rumors and he kepeps warning Rachel that Pierce is wrong for her. And of course we have Annabelle (the stuck a b****) that all of sudden pops up to cause trouble too. Let the drama begin.“You can’t love her! She got pregnant on purpose, can’t you see that?“She didn’t get pregnant on purpose, you idiot.""She probably tampered with it, I refuse to belief that you love that skank. You love me; you’ve always loved me. You can only love me.”Pierce and Rachel’s relationship are amazing together. Even though there are bumps in the road their relationship felt like it progressed naturally. They really felt like they were meant to be. They offer each other the support, unconditional love and they both bring out the good in each other. They fight to makes things work and build a future for themselves and their family. I really loved this book, it showed a side of Pierce I did not see before and I can honestly say I fell in love him. This is a fast read but it is intense. Secrets will be revealed and relationships will begin and others will end. The next book is going to be Victor and Ashley’s story, and it sounds like it is going to be hot and angst filled. Bring it Amanda Heath. I can’t wait for Victor and his dirty mouth!*received a complimentary copy from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review*
