BLURB
Is love enough to pull two drowning men back from the edge of darkness?
No one will love you. Tek Ng has heard that statement his entire life, and after all he’s been through, he believes it. The tortured reality of who he is wars with everything else in his world. He’s got a fiancée he doesn’t want, a family legacy he wants to escape, and unrequited love so unavoidable he descends into sexual depravity with the last person he should. Tek is drowning, but he’s not sure he wants to be saved.
Quinn Storm hides in his quiet house, afraid of his shadow and his memories. At one time he had a husband and a life, but that was snatched away in a violent attack. Hardly daring to live, Quinn is alive only because he’s too scared to end it all himself. He’s drowning and wants no chance at being saved.
A favor for a friend brings these two men together just in time for Tek to watch Quinn unravel. Quinn quickly becomes the most important thing in Tek’s life, but can he trust Quinn to love him once he realizes what Tek is hiding? Just as they reach for each other, their reprieve is shattered by Tek’s demons, leaving Quinn with the realization that he’s not the only one in need of saving.
Warning: Contains references to rape and sexual abuse/assault.
REVIEW
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Avril Ashton has managed to completely impress me again with her final installment of her Run This Town series, (Watch Me) Save You.
This book overlaps books 2 and 3, (Watch Me) Body You and (Watch Me) Unmask You, but now we get to read about Tek and Quinn. And what a story they have!
Tek is essentially caught in a life he never wanted, as his father is forcing him to live a lie. He's living a life that doesn't fit him and doesn't feel right, as he's being forced to take over his father's human-trafficking business. Thus, he is spiraling and self-destructing as he's facing a future he never wanted.
Quinn is a man who is just as broken, as his ex left him, he's a mess and hates himself. Quinn is suffering with panic attacks, guilt and shame, as he's stuck in the past, just running from his nightmares. He's also a spectacular contrast between a tough exterior and a man drowning in his past, missing the man he used to be.
Their story contains murder, complications, rape, abuse, danger, rough sex, attempted suicide, drugs, romance, and human trafficking, of course.
The sex scenes are superb as they contain pure, animalistic need, lust, desire and desperation. It is hot, emotional, transcendental, and life altering.
Can I mention how much I love the Tek? The absolute dichotomy of his character is amazing, as he's a cross-dresser who loves feminine things, but is a cold blooded killer. I just love this. And the amazing acceptance of the real him by Quinn is breath-taking. Tek never expected to find someone that would accept him in a wig, dress, stockings, heels, and makeup. This makes some of their scenes so powerful.
Overall, their story is a spectacular, complicate romance between two men who desperately need to reclaim their lives, say goodbye to their pasts and embrace their futures. It's messy, it's raw, and it's riveting.
Avril Ashton is just amazing, as she has such a beautiful and masterful way with words. Her descriptions are perfect, creating elaborate, stunning moments. Her words are descriptive, alluring and captivating. She is a master of the English language, one that others should study to learn how to write such descriptive and mesmerizing scenes.
If you love a great, complicated, multi-layered story with complex characters, look no further than Avril Ashton's Run This Town series. (Watch Me) Save You is the final book and it is the perfect ending.
