Synopsis


Save 
verb \ˈsāv\ 

1 a: Keep safe or rescue (someone or something) from harm or danger.

Synonyms: rescue, come to someone's rescue, save someone's life, set free, liberate, deliver, extricate.

Saving lives is the end goal.
It's a responsibility I live with every day, the reason I wear the badge.
Built on a brotherhood that runs deeper than blood, this way of life has become my very existence...

Until Liberty.

I thought I was saving her.

I never expected her to be the one saving me.



I’ve always been a huge fan of River Savage and what a way to start a new series than a hot and sexy group of alpha men!  The men of Swat are hot is all I can say and Hetch is without a doubt one of my favorite men of River’s books.

Liam Hetcherson aka Hetch is attempting to become team leader of the Swat team but also trying to overcome some serious demons in his life.  He has suffered such tragedy and drowns his sorrows in women and alcohol.  He was sinking deeper and deeper until Liberty Jenson shakes his entire world.  When they find that sharing a wall between their two apartments becomes very entertaining for them both, they know they want to meet their new neighbor.  It’s quite funny how they actually do meet but it couldn’t have worked out better.

Liberty has been through a breakup and has sworn off men after dealing with a cheating ex.  She’s living on her own and running Boys Haven, a local boys’ group home and is quite a woman.  She loves her boys fiercely and will do whatever it takes to keep them safe, not caring if it puts herself in danger.  But, the more she tries to help, the more trouble she finds herself in.

Here comes Hetch and his team to save the day! Hetch is such a hot and sexy alpha male and I was in love from the moment he and Liberty met.  He’s demanding and controlling and just WOW is all I can say.  He’s oozing sex appeal and Liberty knows that he is her weakness when she is trying so hard to stay away from men.  But, who could deny this man?  Whew!

“This woman, she’s given me grace when I didn’t deserve it, peace when I didn’t know I wanted it, and love when no one else could.”

As Liberty and Hetch are getting closer, she soon finds out Hetch has been traumatized by his past and doesn’t know how to help him deal with it.  It’s only something that he can get past on his own.  I love how Hetch is thrown into the perfect way to confront his past and I enjoyed how well River blended that end so well.  It couldn’t have been any better than that.

“Because of her, I’ve been given a life I never knew I was missing.”

Hetch and Liberty are amazing together and I love him stepping in to help her with her boys.  I think I fell for him even more for that.  Once he had his heart set on Liberty, he knew he wanted to protect her and he does that so well.  The characters were written well into the story and River gives a great lead-in for future books in this series, and I’m hooked on these men already.  Each of the men have their own struggles so I can’t wait to see what River comes up with next after reading Hetch in this 5 star book.




Excerpt

They say moments of clarity hit you hard. Like suddenly a deep understanding smacks you in the face. Your vision becomes unclouded, and a truth that’s been out of your reach rushes at you. It’s in that second your perception of reality becomes so clear you can’t begin to describe it.

Some call it beautiful, some say it can be saddening, some even compare it to the moment your drug of choice washes over you, offering a moment of escape.

I wish I could I say my moment of clarity is an epiphany or some kind of life-defining moment that showed me where my messed-up life is going.

No, my moment hits me as the first wave of the orgasm I’ve been chasing the last few minutes washes over me.

“Fuck, woman, wait for me this time.” His voice pulls me from my haze first, reminding me how messed up I am.

Heat covers my body, not from the life-altering orgasm, but from embarrassment.

Without thinking rationally, I throw my vibrator to the floor and freeze, afraid to move, as a low moan pauses on my lips. The thump of my beating heart, almost syncing in perfect rhythm to the throb drumming between my legs.

Jesus, please tell me he didn’t hear me.

“Don’t go shy on me now, babe.” He half chuckles, half growls, and even though there is a wall between us, the words wash over me; Goose bumps prickle my skin as if his warm breath whispered over me.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit.

Slowly, as if by some freak of nature, apartment nine can see me through the wall, I roll off the bed and find myself on all fours.

Really, Liberty?

Fully committed to my actions, I slowly army crawl my way to the nearest exit.

A strong tap on the wall halts my escape followed by, “You still there?” Another wave of humiliation crashes over me when I take stock of my predicament.

If I don’t get out of here fast, I’ll be drowning in so much embarrassment, nothing will resuscitate me.

Unable to form a coherent thought, and not willing to engage with the pervert, I continue to low crawl my way out of my bedroom and into my bathroom. Closing the door, I stand, and quickly walk to the shower. After turning the faucet on, I strip the rest of my clothes off, then step under the spray of the water.

Jesus, that was close.

I have no idea what I was thinking. In fact, I know I wasn’t. Which scares me even more.

I, Liberty Jenson, would never take risks like this. If asked what prompted this change in me, I’d answer with two things.

Apartment nine.

And a self-appointed sex sabbatical.

It all started when I moved into my new apartment. At first, I was excited, ready for a fresh start. After a messy break-up, which included dealing with a douche ex who didn’t know how to keep his dick in his pants, I needed a new place. Somewhere closer to town this time, secure, and most importantly, affordable. However, finding a place close to the city, which was secure enough to make me feel safe and would still leave me enough money left over from my program director’s wage, proved to be a feat. After searching for five weeks, I was about to give up, accept defeat and move in with my mom and dad again. I mean it wasn’t the worst thing that could happen to a single thirty-year-old woman.

Right?

Luckily for me, I didn’t have to resort to such desperate measures when this place came up two weeks ago. After a quick walk through, I fell in love with the two bedrooms, one bath, and open kitchen living area. I filled out the paperwork, paid my deposit, a month’s rent in advance, and moved in five days later.

Everything seemed perfect.

That was until I realized how paper-thin the walls were between apartments.

It started out subtle, a sneeze in the early evening on my first night here as I settled into bed. A soft murmur of a man’s voice the third night.

But then came the sex.

The hot, wild, filthy sex.

The fourth night in my new apartment, I was woken to the low moans of what I assumed to be a needy woman.

My face heats up remembering the screams, the grunts. The deep baritone of apartment nine’s voice as he told the ‘bitch’ to keep it quiet.

Unsure what to do, I laid silent, listening to my new neighbor fuck some lucky woman into submission.

I’m not going to lie; I wasn’t turned on by it. I was set alight.

I never thought I would be that kind of person, the kind who got off from listening in on someone get off, but something in the way he spoke to her, something in the way he spoke to all the other women since, stirred a new want in me. Soon I found myself seeking out my room for a chance to hear him.

It was wrong.

So wrong.

But it didn’t stop me from wanting it.

The screams.

The deep grunts of pleasure.

I wanted it all.

I wanted it to be me.

“I’m officially going to hell.” I groan under the water, trying to wash the stupidity off me. Stupid would be the nice way of calling me a fucking idiot. And an idiot is what I am. Especially after tonight.
