My Salvation (Salvation, #1) - Great New Book-Check it Out!!

***A gifted copy was provided by NetGalley for an honest review*** Caliana Crawford is a smart, sexy, gusty, very intelligent yet broke woman. She quit her dead end job and goes home to the cabin by the lake that held so many wonderful memories for her. Cali wants to find herself again, not to feel the negative emotions of late ( betrayal, loss ). She never expected to see Owen Matthews again. Owen was her crush from long ago and although they never really acted on it, she always kept a soft spot in her heart for him. Owen is a very successful man but he has never forgotten Cali. He hasn’t seen her since her aunt’s funeral. Owen has been in love with Cali for a long time but never thought he would get the chance to act on his feelings. Cali and Owen quickly renew their friendship and it turns from friendship into relationship into something deeper. The book takes the reader on a ride of the lives of Cali and Owen, there are many twists and turns –Owen has some things in his past which require him to have a security detail. There are incidents that up that security detail x 10. I want to say now- these people are past help. They are seriously deranged. I do not want to give any spoilers but just understand, they are sick sick *puppies*. The escalating incidents kept me on my toes and kept me continuing to read on in fascination. We get to see throughout the book just what a sweetie Owen is and just how much he cares for / takes care of those he loves. He has a way with words and this is just one time that he is declaring himself to Cali. Owen takes the weight of the world on his shoulders and Cali struggles to take the weight off his shoulders to help with his burden. They make a great couple.In between Cali’s ex-boyfriend causing issues for them and Owen being stalked, the couple faced a lot but the couple worked thru a lot to stand tall and stay together. There was a great secondary cast of characters in this book --Piper, Avery, Ethan, Emily, Steven, Adeline, Erik, Rose, and all their family, friends, and loved ones. I can’t wait to see books for them. I hope Owen’s brother Ethan gets a book next. Overall, I really loved this book and can’t wait to see what is next by this author. I couldn’t put this book down and will ready anything she writes next. My rating: 5.0 stars *****
