BLURB:

Can two men from wildly different worlds prove to be each other’s salvation?

Trevor isn’t surprised that he’s a twenty-year-old virgin. He sees himself as skinny, clumsy, and shy, and is sure no one could possibly want him. Vincent Dombruso is about to prove him wrong.

Mysterious and troubled, Vincent masks a lot of secrets behind his handsome exterior. As the spark between them ignites, both men are surprised to find a kindred spirit in such an unexpected place. But Vincent’s Mafia ties and whatever he’s not telling Trevor could destroy their chances of a happily ever after.

Salvation is the fifth book in Alexa Land’s best-selling Firsts and Forever series, but each book is written to stand alone, so jump in anywhere.

REVIEW:

Note to self. Only start an Alexa Land book when you don’t mind staying up half the night to finish it!

Seriously, I love this lady’s books. They are all standalone, but they have a whole host of characters that follow through to each book, and I’d really recommend you read them in order so you know who everyone is. It will make for a more enjoyable read.

In Book 5 of the series, we have the story of Trevor, who we met in book four when he was sneaking extra cookies into his pocket from a buffet. Trevor has become the working partner of River, the caterer, and their business is really picking up thanks to my favorite character, Stana Dombruso, affectionately known as Nana.

Trevor met Vincent Dombruso at an event he was helping catering, and instantly clicked with him.   For some reason, Vincent, a drop dead Italian Mafioso, seems to have a thing for Trevor. Trevor doesn’t understand because he sees himself as a skinny, shy, nothing special sort of guy. Luckily Vincent is out to prove him wrong.

But Vincent has some dark secrets. How will Trevor react when he finds out some of Vincent’s dark past?   What about the mysterious nefarious activities that it appears Vincent is currently involved in?

In addition to Trevor and Vincent’s story, we also have the wedding of Christopher Robin and Kieran, as well as some other updates on the characters from the previous books. Since they are all connected in some way, I tend to think of these guys as one big happy family. Lord knows Nana has adopted them all if she isn’t already related to them, so I guess that makes sense!

As always, I really enjoyed the book. This book, like all her books moves along quickly. I highly recommend it, and the entire series. Keep following along, next week I’ll be bringing you a review on book 6, Skye Blue!
