I just finished How to Save a Life and I loved it! This is apart of the Brown County Series so I would seriously recommend reading them in order to get the full effect of the characters since at times it overlaps together but they could be read by themselves. First is Not Alone with Emmalynne and Grady. 2nd is Runaway Love with Maggie and Charlie and now this one is Mike and Sheridan. They are all acquaintances/friends living in Brown County and also play in a local band. Mike has had his share of heartbreak. At the beginning of the story you find out what really happened and now it makes sense as to why he is so stand offish. Sheridan is running away from a very bad man and ends up in Brown County because she is hit by a drunk driver and Mike is the paramedic on the scene. They immediately feel something for one another but they try very hard to not acknowledge it but Mike wants to help her so he offers her to stay at his house while she recuperates. Close proximities always make the best stories for lovers. They both have secrets and they will come to light but will they be able to let their guards down to see what can happen between them? You will have to read and see.I must say that I didn't know it could get any better. This has to be my favorite in the series not just because Im a sucker for someone on the run but for me Amber just put me inside the story. I usually don't do that, I can read and read and read but damn, first time in a while where I felt like I was apart of the group. This was a good take on a story when there is abuse involved. I just felt Amber spins it into something original and I will be so ever thankful for that since I feel at times, I read the same old thing.Mike, lord have mercy, he was a hottie. Not only is he the a paramedic(can totally see him in his outfit)he is the drummer for their local band (can totally see him banging the crap out of those drums) but he is also the quiet yet tortured soul. I really felt bad for him. The things that he experiences, so sad. And Sheridan too. They should never have to live with what they did. I felt like Amber choose two characters that could only heal each other because of what they went through. Brava! One thing that I will say is even though they healed each other, the chemistry was on fire. Their banter, the sexual angst between them was hot. The build up was one of the hottest that I have read. Damn, when you read when they finally acknowledge it, be prepared. Be very prepared to fan the ever living crap out of yourself. F I R E!!!!One thing I love about series is the comradery between the characters. When you stick with the series, sometimes authors change them and you hardly recognize them. Not Amber. She was spot on with the characters, also with the secondary characters. Same old people, same story line between them. Amazing! I just loved that we were able to see what happens from all sorts of perspectives views that I truly felt like I knew the ins and outs of this whole town!Seriously, Im hooked. Amber is an author to be reckoned with. She is amazing and I cannot wait to see more.Story 5Sex 5Overall 5Reviewed by Beggin from Mommys A Book Whore
