Spoiler Free Review by Krystal

Erin McIntyre is a survivor. Four years ago she bundled up her six year old daughter and set sail into uncharted waters with nothing more than the will to survive. When offered a place to stay and a new job by her best friend's cousin Adam, she simply cannot refuse...but Adam quickly becomes more than a friend. Scared to love again, and convinced that giving her heart to a man will only lead to pain, Erin remains steadfast, certain the only person she can trust is herself. But when her past comes knocking, threatening to tear her carefully constructed world apart, and the support of a person who believes in her more than she does herself will be the one thing that can keep her head above water. Will old habits prove too hard to break and leave Erin drowning in a sea of self-doubt, or can she let go of her fears and learn to love once more?

Adam Payne never thought he would find Love. He really wasn’t even looking for it. He fell hard and he fell fast for Erin McIntyre. Determined to show her that she is worthy of not only his love but worthy of herself. He will stop at nothing to make this woman his and when their love for one another surfaces into a love that Erin never thought would come her way her past comes back to haunt them all. Will Adam be able to Rescue Erin from her worst fear or will she pack up and run for the simple reason that the only thing she has ever known is her will to try and survive."

After Kathy announced that we would get Erin and Adams story, I absolutely could not wait. Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months and I anticipated the release of Rescue Me. And it's finally here, and I devoured their story in one sitting!


I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Erin McIntyre is a survivor. A scared, and broken single mother. We first met Erin in Shelter Me, she was Shaynes best friend. When Shayne moved to Michigan, she asked Erin to move as well. And she did, leaving her sister behind in order to make a fresh start for both her and her six year old daughter Sierra.

Adam is Shaynes cousin. Dark, shaggy blonde hair, and piercing green eyes. He was not looking for love... but when he set eyes on Erin when he helped moved her from Texas, he knew she was the one. He is a man that is not afraid to speak his mind to tell you exactly how he feels, the kind of man that will go out of his way for a single mother. Adam also offered Erin a place to stay when she moved to Michigan.

Erin is scared to love again, and convinced that giving her heart to a man will only lead to pain, Erin remains steadfast, certain the only person she can trust is herself. She wants to get out on her own, and when she goes to deliver the news to Adam, things quickly changed from there.

Adam is determined to show Erin that she is worthy of not only his love but worthy of herself,  he is going all out to make Erin feel beautiful and loved again. He wants to show her that is she can trust him and that he will never hurt her, and the past won't repeat itself. But for Erin...this is hard.

Holy Moly. Things get steamy between Erin and Adam...and Adam WORSHIPS Erins body.  Not only is he a good man, but hes an amazing lover ! Oh lord...where can I find an Adam of my own (sorry husband of mine).

"I am just getting started, my love. I don't think I could stop even if I tried. I have waited what seems like a lifetime to see you underneath me, and sweetheart, I am about ready to make you fly."

Not only is Adam a good man to Erin, but hes an even more amazing father figure to Sierra. He was able to steal my heart with the little glimpses of him simply playing cards with her, or the giggles and laughter leaving the two of them. And when Sierra wants to call him daddy....OMG...SWOON ! There is nothing better then a man being a father/daddy to a child!

Erin finally starts to give her heart over and Adam slowly starts to break down the walls surrounding her heart, but when someone from her past shows up at her doorstep, will Adam be able to Rescue Erin from her worst fear or will she pack up and run for the simple reason that the only thing she has ever known is her will to try and survive?

All of the characters in both Shelter Me and Rescue Me are fabulous. They all one big intertwined and happy family! Erins sister, Shelby, and Lukes brother Antonio, have something going on, and I am overly excited to hear their story in Keep Me. Shelby is a tough cookie, but I think Antonio is going to break her shell.

Unfortunately, so many women, well and men, these days are victims of Domestic Violence and abuse. Kathy only covered some aspects of it. Some women do not make it out of a Domestic Violence Relationship like Erin did and so many women do not have the support system that she does.
