Salvaged

A Saints of Denver Novel

By: Jay Crownover

Narrated by: Burke Stevens, Carmen Vine

The New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Marked Men books continues her delightfully sexy Saints of Denver series.

Hudson Wheeler is a nice guy. Everyone knows it, including his fiancée who left him with a canceled wedding and a baby on the way. He’s tired of finishing last and is ready to start living in the moment with nights soaked in whiskey, fast cars, and even faster girls. He’s set to start living on the edge, but when he meets Poppy Cruz, her sad eyes in the most gorgeous face he’s ever seen hook him in right away. Wheeler can see Poppy’s pain and all he wants to do is take care of her and make her smile, whatever it takes.

Poppy can’t remember a time when she didn’t see strangers as the enemy. After a lifetime of being hurt from the men who swore to protect her, Poppy’s determined to keep herself safe by keeping everyone else at arm’s length. Wheeler’s sexy grin and rough hands from hours restoring classic cars shouldn’t captivate her, but every time she’s with him, she can’t help being pulled closer to him. Though she’s terrified to trust again, Poppy soon realizes it might hurt even more to shut Wheeler out—and the intense feelings pulsing through her are making it near impossible to resist him.

The only thing Poppy is sure of is that her heart is in need of some serious repair, and the more time she spends with Wheeler, the more she’s convinced he’s the only man with the tools to fix it.

great series

not a huge fan of the male narrator but loved the girl. great series though

Amazing

If you could sum up Salvaged in three words, what would they be?

Heartbreaking. Amazing. Courageous.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Poppy. She went through so much but she has a spirit that can get through anything. She's a wonderful character.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If I could have, I would. I loved this book!

Epic ending

What an amazing ending to an epic series. First of all, I have to say that I didn't know I wanted to know more about Wheeler. He never really appealed to me much. Jay Crownover took Wheeler from a secondary character into a leading role. I love him, his dedication and his heart are beautiful and the way he loves Poppy is magical.

I often get tired of relationship problems in books. It always is the same thing, boy and girl get together, something happens, they break up and then get back together. Jay Crownover stomped all over this pattern and reinvented a romance. It was so refreshing for the drama to be against them and not against each other. I loved that about this book.

The negative is the narration. I feel Jay Crownover has ALWAYS had awesome narrators but this did not meet her standards. The male narrator, to me, didn't sound like the proper age range or voice for what Wheelers character was. The female narrator, albeit much better than the male, still didn't have that timid and meek quality I would think Poppy's character would have.

I love Jay Crownover, her books never dissapoint

Love! I'm always left wanting more and the added bonus of hearing was perfect 😍😍😍

Fantastic series

I only wish it could never end. I loved this series and every single character. The writing is so good and relatable.
