My Review:

My Saving Grace is the first book in the Vested Interest: ABC Corp Series, an age-gap office romance that’s emotional, steamy and full of surprises that will leave you wanting for more.

At the beginning of the story we are introduced to Grace VanRyan, an articling law student who has recently interviewed to intern at Smith and Hodges, a prestigious firm. There she will be mentored by a lawyer before she sets out to work for ABC Corp. Grace’s love for corporate law is due to her father, Richard VanRyan who although is in marketing, she always loved to visit the legal department and ask a lot of questions.

Her life is pretty much mapped out, until she meets the lawyer who will be mentoring her, Jaxon Richards. He is incredibly attractive, smart and there are sparks in the air when they first meet. Yet, he immediately sets boundaries between them and tells her that she needs to work hard to earn his respect and she sets out to prove herself. As they get to know each other more things begin to change, Grace starts to see what’s beneath Jaxon’s lawyer persona and sees the caring soul that has suffered in the past. No matter how many time he tells her that she shouldn’t be falling for him, she still does and she is going to make him see that they might just be perfect for each other.

At thirty-eight years old, Jaxon Richards has accomplished a lot in his career and this has led him to land a job at a prestigious law firm with Smith and Hodges. He is good at what he does and he has worked so much to get to where he is today that relationships have never been in his plan at all. It’s his past that has shaped the way he views relationships and he thinks that nothing ever lasts. So when he meets his new intern, Jaxon is taken back at how Grace makes him feel. He finds himself being protective of her and the idea of being with her has him question what he has believed all along. Until a series of obstacles come his way threatening their future and he has to make things right with her before it’s too late.

I throughly enjoyed reading My Saving Grace, the characters are likable and retable. The story itself is full of ups and downs as the characters struggle to make things work. They both come from different backgrounds, Grace grew up surrounded with love her whole life while Jaxon hasn’t. This is what ultimately becomes a problem in their relationship, Grace wants a forever and Jaxon doesn’t know if he is capable of giving her that. Age also plays a huge factor as well as their work, they love what they do and they don’t what their work be affected if their relationship doesn’t work out. I absolutely loved the second half of the story, it truly picks up and we get to see Jaxon interact with Grace’s family and we get cameos from the Vested Interest Series characters as well from The Contract Series. Although ABC Corp is a new series, I would highly recommend checking out the other series, just to get the full effect. It’s evident that both of the characters have a lot to work on, but they have to lean on each other in order to make their relationship work. The ending was really sweet and it brings everything to a full circle. It was emotional and I cannot recommend it enough, you will not regret it! :)

My Rating:

About the Author: 

New York Times/Wall Street Journal/USA Today bestselling author Melanie Moreland, lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her beloved husband of thirty-plus years and their rescue cat, Amber. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them.

While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip.

Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling down stairs) and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She's learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.
