I’m pretty sure after reading this it’s safe to say Erika Ashby is a southern girl. In my opinion Save Me From Me is a great story about returning to your roots, defining your dreams and finding your way through the pain to the happily ever after.Erika knows how to make a first impression. There is what is well defined as a “Kodak Moment” that will have your head turning. You may even say at first glance Holden is the HOTTEST. DAMN. THING. EVER. Let me just say Holden is not shy.Dani is sad and for a lot of the book I was sad right along with her. Life is hard and hers is full of many challenges. Sometimes it’s hard to decide where to even begin to turn things around.  Holden has his own predicament to sort out. Essentially they start off on the same page. Trying to fill the gaps and the roles that have been either been put upon them or they have shouldered the burden they felt they needed to.This was a sweet read. The secondary characters added to the plot while the story really focuses on Dani and Holden always keeping them front and centre.  I will admit I thought Gage was an A Class A-HOLE. Harsh I know but he has some work to do to win me over. The pages turned quite quickly for me. My only complaint is that after an explosive start the steam factor dipped considerably for most of the book. I understood the reason and I certainly loved the humor in it ~ “Is there some trick to your chastity belt, Holden?” I just could have used a bit more of hot and sexy Holden time. *Blushing*Save Me From Me is a great example of the growth in Erika’s writing. She stays true to her characters and uses honesty to make them all very relatable. I would recommend this story to anyone who loves the struggle and enjoys seeing if the couple will come out the other side for their HEA.
