Synopsis:

THE EPIC JOURNEY CONTINUES IN THE THIRD BOOK OF THE ELEMENTALS SERIES. 

Moving to a new town wasn’t supposed to be easy. But for Nicole Cassidy, it meant discovering she was a witch with never before seen elemental powers. Mysteriously given a mission that could help save the world, Nicole and four other gifted classmates journeyed to Greece, where they battled ancient monsters and barely escaped with their lives. 

Now Nicole and the Elementals have returned home, and while her relationship with Blake—the fire Elemental—is finally heating up, she can’t rid herself of the guilt that she’s responsible for the death of one of their own in Greece. But she must remain focused, because the portal to the prison world of Kerberos is weakening, and Typhon, one of Earth’s deadliest creatures, has escaped. Now the Elementals must retrieve the only object in the world that can destroy this dangerous monster—the head of Medusa herself. 

Follow the Elementals as they journey to the end of the world, unsure of who to trust, and facing choices that will put their lives and the entire world at risk. Will they all survive the mission? And if they don’t, will the ones who do be able to find the strength to continue? 

Find out in the riveting third book in the Elementals series, The Head of Medusa.

GR's Summary:

Join Jake & Chelsea, Stanton & Sofia, Brent & Kennedy as they navigate the hilarious and heartwarming hurdles of love, life and the law in this final addition to the Legal Briefs Series. 

There was a time when Jake Becker had it all together. He was controlled, driven, ruthless—in and out of the courtroom. Then, six irresistible orphans and their heartbreakingly beautiful aunt crashed into his perfectly ordered life. They changed everything. They changed him. Now he’s a husband, an upstanding member of society, a father figure—a family man. And he’s pretty damn good at it. 

Sure, he has to referee sibling smackdowns, re-learn algebra, ensure his clients stay of jail, and keep his wife happy—but it finally feels like he’s got it together again.... 

So, of course something has to screw it all up. 

It’s huge. Life-changing. Kind of terrifying. 

And it will be the most amazing, perfect thing he’ll ever do.

Excerpt:

Chelsea sits beside me on the couch, facing me, her legs tucked, her pretty feet curled under her. Yes—Chelsea has pretty feet, okay? I never knew feet could be pretty—until I saw hers. 

“So . . . that talk I mentioned before? We should probably have that now, while we can.” 

I take a sip of my drink and nod. “Yeah—I wasn’t at all hoping you’d forget about it or anything.” 

Her face slides into a grin. “Funny.” 

I look back at her, straight-faced. “I’m a funny guy.” 

When she doesn’t say anything for a few moments, I ask, “What’s up?” 

Because now I’m actually getting concerned. My stomach tightens as I brace for whatever’s worrying her—and before I even know what I’m up against, in my head I’m already planning all the ways I’ll take care of it. Because that’s what I do—and I’m good at it. 

But what she tells me next blows my fucking mind. 

“I’m late.” 

Two words—ten thousand thoughts exploding in my head at once. 

I’m a big guy, six-five, 225 pounds of muscle. Guys like me, our voices don’t squeak. But at this moment, mine comes damn close. 

“Like . . . for an appointment?” 

Chelsea inhales deeply, then breathes out, “No.”

Tucker McCoy thought the hardest mission of his life was over. After being deployed for six years, all he wanted to do was return home to his wife and daughter. But when he arrives home with roses in his hand, the last thing he expects is to be welcomed by a stranger. Being presumed dead for six years doesn’t help his cause as no one is giving him the answers he needs.

Now his mission is to find out where his family is and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to bring them home, even if that means bringing down the people involved.

Penelope McCoy has a secret and one she’s willing to keep until she can find someone to trust. In order to do that, she and her daughter must hide, change their identities and forget about their previous life.

For six years she’s been running and she soon realizes that time is catching up with her. Now she has to decide whether to run again or face the ghosts of her past head on.

Having Penelope on my bike now, with her hands caressing my skin, even if she’s not meaning to, makes me realize that I like her there. I’m enjoying the way her legs are pressed against my hips and the way her fingers graze my skin so innocently. Pulling off to one of the lookout points, I set both feet down and shut off my bike. “Watch,” I instruct, pointing to the sky. Without hesitation, she rests her head on my shoulder and I instinctively lean into her. I like it. I like the way I’m feeling with her right now. She’s here because she wants to be, not because of who I am. "What am I watching for?” “Birds.” “It’s dark, I can’t see a bird in the dark. No one can.” Realizing my mistake, I shake my head. “Fighter jets. They’ll be coming to land in a second.” “How do you know?” Because I wanted to be one until I found the SEALs. “When you live on base, you follow patterns.” Before I can say anything else, two jets appear and align themselves for landing. “Are you a pilot?” “No, I’m not cool like that.” “So what do you do?” Kill bad people. “I’m the guy who protects you while you sleep.”

Review:

The Archer Brothers Series has been on my TBR list forever! With the release of the third installment, Save Me, it was time to do a reading marathon and devour this military romance series. I don’t read many military romance books. I have to admit that I did not know what to expect of this series. The first two books involved a love triangle and I had my doubts. I try to stay away from book with love triangles, but many of my book friends recommended this series and I wanted to try it. I’m so glad I did because Here With Me and Choose Me left me at the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading! Save Me can be read as a standalone, but after reading this series back-to-back, I highly recommend you read all of the books. These stories are memorable and they will linger with you for days! 

Navy Seal Tucker McCoy has been away from home for six years. He’s ready to go back home to his wife and his daughter. What he never expected was to find Penny and his daughter gone. After he learns about his "death", Tucker is in a race against time to find Penny and Claire. The dangerous people that kept him away from his family are lurking around waiting for the right moment to make their world crash down all over again. Tucker will do whatever it takes to find his wife and daughter and keep them safe once and for all. The bad guys have no clue what Tucker McCoy is capable of when it comes to the people he loves. Years of his life have been stolen and he won't rest until justice is made.

I really loved how the author wrote Penny and Tucker’s story. It was important for me to know what was going on in both their lives and what they were feeling. Their dual POV delivered and even if it had a slow start before the action kicked in, I was invested in this story from the beginning. I needed answers after reading the first two books and I got them in Save Me. The author did a phenomenal job at resuming the first two books so that you can easily follow all the events in Save Me. My heart broke for Penny and Tucker just like it did for the characters that got caught in the mystery surrounding Evan, Tucker, River and Rask’s mission. Justice needed to be served and I was happy with how everything played out. This would make such a fantastic movie! I was at the edge of my seat and I wanted Penny and Tucker to turn the page and have a well-deserved HEA. 

My stomach was in knots for a good part of this reading journey. I was left speechless when I found out why Penny left with her daughter. My heart broke into a million pieces for this family. The more I read this story, the more it captivated me! I wanted to jump in the book and bring comfort to these characters. Some pretty twisted people have been lurking around them and danger is close now that Tucker and his friends are looking for Penny and his daughter. 

This was an emotional and healing journey for Penny and Tucker. I loved the friendship that all these characters shared and how protective and strong they all are of their family and friends. Tucker did everything he could to keep his family safe once he found them. He’s patient and kind and he loves Penny and his daughter with all of his heart and soul. Penny and Tucker were amazing characters to follow. I had an amazing time discovering all these wonderful characters and Heidi McLaughlin’s phenomenal writing style took my breath away! 

Rating:

I give, Save Me, by Heidi McLaughlin, 4.5 captivating, healing, emotional, powerful, edge of your seat, page-turning stars!
