I found this book unputdownable and stayed up far too late reading it! Single mom, Bailey, meets cop, Caleb, when he responds to a 911 call at her house. While they both think they have too much baggage for a relationship they can't fight the pull they feel toward each other. I loved the relationship Caleb has with Charlie, Bailey's daughter and they way Caleb and Bailey support each other and communicated. This book is clearly part of an interconnected stand alone series, but they do not need to be read in order. This book has quite a lot of spicy scenes so beware if that's not something you look for in books. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to reads who enjoy single parent and found family tropes!

Title: Saving You

Author: Alex Taylor
Genre: Romance

Rating: ★★★★☆

"Saving You" by Alex Taylor is a heartwarming and emotional romance that intertwines themes of rescue, redemption, and the power of new beginnings.

Bailey is at a low point in her life when she meets Caleb, the cop who saves her and her daughter from a dire situation. Determined to steer clear of men after a disastrous marriage, Bailey finds herself irresistibly drawn to Caleb, whose every act of kindness and protection slowly chips away at her resolve. As Caleb promises to always be there for both her and her daughter, Bailey grapples with her fears and the possibility of opening her heart again.

Caleb has long avoided relationships due to his own past baggage. However, meeting Bailey and her daughter flips his world upside down. His protective instincts kick in, and he soon decides he wants to make them both his. As they navigate their burgeoning relationship, they must confront their hang-ups about love and deal with the looming threat of Bailey’s ex-husband.

What I Loved:

1. Engaging Characters: Bailey and Caleb are wonderfully developed characters with relatable struggles and endearing qualities. Their chemistry is amazing, and their journey towards trust and love is deeply moving.
2. Emotional Depth: The story delves into the complexities of overcoming past trauma and building new relationships. It’s a touching exploration of how love and support can heal old wounds.
3. Protective Instincts: Caleb’s role as a protector adds a comforting and heroic element to the story. His commitment to Bailey and her daughter is heartwarming and showcases the power of love and dedication.
4. Family Dynamics: The relationship between Bailey, her daughter, and Caleb forms the emotional core of the book. It’s beautifully portrayed and adds layers of warmth and authenticity to the narrative.
5. Suspense and Drama: The presence of Bailey’s ex-husband adds a layer of suspense and tension, keeping readers on the edge of their seats and rooting for Bailey and Caleb’s relationship to succeed.


"Saving You" is a great read that offers a perfect balance of romance, drama, and emotional healing. Alex Taylor has crafted a story that is both heart-wrenching and uplifting, with characters that readers will feel deeply connected to.

The journey of Bailey and Caleb is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of love. If you enjoy stories about second chances, protective heroes, and the bonds of family, this book is definitely for you. Just be sure to check the trigger warnings, as some content may be intense for certain readers.

Thank you to The Author Alex Taylor & NetGalley for an advanced reader copy (ARC) in exchange for my honest review.

Loved this book so much. The fmc Bailey is leaning to try to set boundaries with her abusive ex husband. Fate happens when her 5 year old daughter Charlotte aka Charlie calls 9-1-1 to say her Daddy hit Mommy. Then the mmc Caleb comes in, wanting to immediately take care of this little angel. Charlie throughout this whole book refuses to believe she is not the main character. Overall the story is about people learning to love again not just one another but themselves and to work through their trauma. Super cute, spicy and fun ride. I look forward to reading the rest of the series now. Thank you NetGalley, and Alex Taylor for picking me to be an arc reader of this book.

!Lo ame!

Cuando pedí el arc no me di cuenta que era el segundo libro de Destined Love y creo que fue mi mejor porque no tenía ideas preconcebidas sobre la trama.

Disfruté ver a tod@s y que sigan siendo tan unidos, sobre todo me encantó como las chicas le dieron la bienvenida a Bailey.

Me gustó como se desarrolló la relación entre Caleb y Bailey y entre Caleb y Charlie. Todo se dió de forma natural, incluso cuando Caleb decía que no quería tener una relación sus acciones decían otra cosa y es que le era imposible alejarse de sus mujeres.


Gracias NetGalley, al publicista y Alex Taylor por el ARC a cambio de una opinión sincera.

Lovely romance with some steamy elements. I really enjoyed the dynamics of the 2 main characters and felt the addition of her child made the lead male very lovable. Will be reading more from this author!

Caleb es un policía, conoce a Bailey en un llamado, el exesposo la golpeo y su hija, estaba presente y fue ella quien llamó a emergencias.

Charlotte, la hija de Bailey, inmediatamente crea un vínculo con Caleb y de repente sin darse cuenta se abre camino a su vida.

Él tiene estrés postramautico por lo que no puede o mejor dicho no quiere tener una relación ya que sabe que no esta en un buen estado mental. Ella tampoco está en un buen lugar para tener una relación, su ex al principio fue bueno hasta que se casaron, luego se convirtió en un monstruo y no tiene la confianza para volver a confiar en un hombre.

No entiendo como que es al desquiciado del ex no le quitaron los derechos para ver a su hija, el tipo debería estar lejos y en encerrado en la cárcel.

Me encantó la relación Caleb y Charlie, desde el incio se volvió su hija y a Bailey la trataba como reina.

El único pero que le pongo es que él no buscó ayuda profesional y el poder del amor lo ayudo con lo del estrés postramautico.

Me alegro ver que todos estamos bien y lo del embarazo de Liv y Josh. Amé que las chicas siguan igual de unidas y me grito ver como le dieron la bienvenida a Bailey ya fuera si estaba con Caleb o no.


Nota para mi:
El siguiente libro es de Hannah y Grayson. Al parecer lo de la enfermera fue un malentendido porque él mencionó que dese hace 2 años ya no es mujeriego, pero le deja creer a sus amigos que no a cambiado, ¿será que lo que vio Hanna fue a la enfermera besándolo, pero el no le correspondió?

-Lily es mejor amiga de Bailey. Ojalá tenga su libro es muy linda.
