BLOG TOUR REVIEW: Saving Steele by Anne Jolin


What happens when circumstances of life threaten the one thing both Jackson and Kennedy love? Saving Steele from himself may prove to be too much for Cross to bear.

THE ROCK FALLS SERIES IS BACK!! 
The 5th installment, SAVING STEELE, is now available for purchase!

SAVING STEELE by Anne Jolin
Rock Falls Series #5
Genre: Contemporary Romance
- SYNOPSIS - 
Kennedy Cross had her heart broken early in life. It wasn't someone or something who betrayed her—it was her own body. Despite it being all she’s ever wanted, Kennedy will never know what it feels like to feel her baby’s feet kick from the inside out. Having been pronounced infertile at only eighteen, she redirected her life the best way she could. 

Eight years and a degree later, Kennedy is one of the most well-loved first-grade teachers at Rock Falls Elementary School. It doesn’t matter that her college boyfriend left her because he wanted children of his own. She has twenty-two of the most gorgeous six-year-olds who adore her and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

Jackson Steele deals only in extremes. He falls victim to manic episodes lasting for days, sometimes weeks at a time, sending him reeling from volatile highs to devastating lows. It’s a living hell just being inside his own mind, and that hell has taken everything he’s ever loved away from him. But what if, this time, it gives him something? An untimely gift from God and a brunette with legs eight miles long will bring him the most unforeseen joy but also his most challenging of tests.

What happens when circumstances of life threaten the one thing both Jackson and Kennedy love? Saving Steele from himself may prove to be too much for Cross to bear.

- EXCERPT -
I’d totally become a yes girl where hot guy, dad to mini hot guy, Jackson Steele was concerned.
So that brings me to now, turning off my ignition and willing my body to move from the safety of my driver’s seat and up to his front door.

It’s okay though. I’ve come prepared. I’d written a list of things not to do when I arrived at the house on a yellow Post-it note.

1. Don’t hyperventilate
2. Don’t sweat
3. Don’t touch him
4. Don’t say the word “penis” or any of its synonyms or any parts of the male anatomy in general
5. Don’t drool

Putting force behind the fist I’d raised to knock on the door I immediately begin to fall forward as the offending panel of wood swings inward and I face plant directly into a hard male chest.
Rats! There goes rule number three and quickly too.

Mmm. But he sure smells nice.

“Easy, babe,” his voice is a deep manly chuckle, large hands settling on my waist.

I feel that “babe,” that chuckle and that contact in all the right places, even a tingle or two in some wrong ones if I’m being honest.

Considering I’m relatively close to the brink of insanity this morning, it isn’t all that surprising that in that second, instead of pulling away, I take the opportunity to tilt my head back and look at him, really look at him, for the second time since we’d met.

Big mistake.

Should have added a sixth rule. Don’t look at him either.

- ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Anne Jolin -

Hey y’all, 
I was born and raised in Ladner, a small farm town just outside Vancouver, Canada. I grew up riding horses, shooting guns, and driving in trucks. 

I never expected to be an author. A massage therapist? Yes. Take over the family construction company? Yes. But an author? No. Writing was something that snuck up on me and rooted itself into my life. It was beautiful to discover that love, and I’m truly grateful to say I’ve found my passion. 

Since I’ve always been a creative person, it feels amazing to harness all of that energy and use it to tell a story I love. I enjoy incorporating bits of my real life into the stories I write. What parts are true? Hah. I’ll never tell—what would be the fun in that? 

If I could leave y’all with one thing, it’s that life’s far too short to not live it out loud. Drown in your passions, hold on tight to the things that inspire you, and chase your dreams relentlessly. I can promise you without a doubt that you won’t regret it. I know I don’t. 

Mad love, 
Anne Jolin

Sonja's Review


Anne Jolin's Rock Falls series is one of my absolute favorites and I was sad reading Keeping King because I thought it was the end and I was so happy when it ended in a way that you knew there just HAD to be another book! It was a crazy ending but I didn't care because it meant another book and it also meant that Jackson would get his own story and I really wanted to see him get his girl. Saving Steele was even better than I expected it to be and I completely LOOOOVED it!! 

Kennedy is so adorkable! She has these little quirks that are just so cute and entertaining that I couldn't help but love her! But when you put all those aside, it's really who she is inside that truly makes you love her. She's sweet, genuine, kind, and you just know she's not the type to play games or stab you in the back. Kennedy is loyal and totally wonderful! 

I think I always felt a little bad for Jackson because he lost Hannah, but I don't think that it was until Keeping King that I really wanted him to find his own happiness and I'm so glad that he has! He does have his issues that he has to deal with but he's a better, stronger man and simply irresistible. I loved how he was with Ryker - he's so sweet and patient and loving - and I loved the way he was with Kennedy with all his alpha-like tendencies but also his tenderness and passion for her. Jackson is quite the man and he made me love him, melt for him and swoon for him! 

Saving Steele is beautiful, charming, and endearing. It made me laugh and sigh and melt the whole way through and the moments with Ryker and Jackson or Ryker and Kennedy or with all three of them were just so precious and special that I just wholeheartedly fell in love! This was a wonderful read and I hope we get Colt's book next! 

Saving Steele is a standalone, it's told mostly from Jackson and Kennedy's POV, and they do get their well-deserved happily-ever-after!!
