Review

"The way Avery's inner turmoil was described along with her coping mechanisms had me riveted to the pages, and I admit I ignored all duties and read this book in two days. I would pick this up again to read as the messages within the pages are simply inspiring." ~ Romance Between The Sheets

"This book had my heart racing! I was literally devouring this book just to see what was going to happen." ~

    Let me start off saying that this book was not what I expected. I had not read the book blurb as I read the authors first book and really liked it. I had assumed that this book would be of the same genre. That being said I was still not disappointed.

    The story centers on two types of human relationships that couldn't be more different. It is a romance, a story of the discovery of an impossible love, while also exploring a subject that is more pervasive than we would like to admit.

    Avery, young, carefree and looking forward to an adventure of travel and exploration before starting college. What she had not expected or planned for was being swept off her feet by the very sexy and successful son of the very influential parents of her father’s supporters.

    It isn't long until the wolf in sheep’s clothing shows himself, but as happens, Avery's youth, inexperience and emotions outweigh her brain. The consequences will be felt for the next few years. A trophy wife in more way than one, Avery's only outlet and escape is her volunteer work at the hospital where she visits and entertains the children's ward.

    Max, fresh from an excruciating break up from his fiancé, moves back to an area that holds great memories from his youth as a vacation spot while growing up. Hired as the new physician in the same children’s ward he is struck speechless at his first sight of Avery. Something he was not looking for and probably not ready for. Such is love.

    Avery's reaction to the new doc is both thrilling and scary as it is unexpected. Her marriage has taught her to be cautious of male attention so when Max causes old feelings and emotions to be brought to the surface they're not welcome. At least not a first but there is a pull that cannot be denied or ignored.

    Love is the theme of the story in all its complicated and ugly forms. The love of a family can be both blind and in one case cruel. The love of marriage can be corrupted to monstrous levels and the true love of passion and acceptance can survive all.

    This is a book you read with emotion. You will feel the characters, you will call for blood, and you will rejoice for the miracle of true unending love that cares not what your expectations of life were but only what it has planned for your life.

    Avery is a carefree young girl who plans to travel the world when she meets Nathan, the son of her father's friends.
    They have a world wind romance and end up get married quite quickly. But instead of a marriage filled with love and happiness Avery finds herself trapped in a life devoid of love and full of domestic violence. Humiliation, rape and daily violence became the norm for Avery and her once lively spirit is beaten down.

    Then she meets Max.

    Max is a doctor at the hospital where Avery volunteers and the two have an instant connection. Avery tries to avoid him at all costs as the last man to flirt with her ended up in a Coma at the hands of her husband. But with Max being the only light at the end of a very dark tunnel she finds it hard to ignore him. Avery loves that her old self is starting to shine through the cracks and knows it's all down to Max. As much as he enjoys being with him Avery knows her husband is a very dangerous and well connected man and tries to warn Max off but he is more determined than ever to help her escape Nathan's hold.

    This book left me with mixed feelings. Is certainly not one for the faint hearted. Some parts were light hearted and fun ( I loved the karaoke) and then it would switch to heartbreaking and disturbing. Thank goodness I don't have any triggers but I found some of these scenes hard to read and squirmed on many occasions. That just shows how well written this book is as I wanted to help this poor women and at times felt as helpless as Avery did. It's hard as a women to read about these things happening to another women.

    The author did such a good job conveying the utter hopelessness Avery felt in the harsh life she was enduring that by the time the romance came into it, it took me some time to fall into the love story side. There is a tonne of angst in this book and I didn't come away feeling light and airy but it was a really interesting read and brought up a lot of questions and had a satisfactory conclusion.

    7 out of 10 Very good, would definitely recommend a long soak with this one. Also a few lighthearted cartoons on standby for when you've finished reading it.

    Let me start out, by congratulating Angela Snyder on a marvelous, astounding, encouraging; a nail biter to the end of the book, should be an award winning book!!
    Angela you brought me into this book and kept me in it for two days straight reading; only putting it down for my 3 yr old, cooking, sleeping, etc. lol
    I myself was on the verge of being controlled by a former fiancé , before I met my wonderful husband, Ricky. I was lucky to be able to fight and leave, but my friend who took my leftovers was unfortunate,.
    Anyways, the power of Avery's story was just amazing, incredible and how she hated it all, took that pain sadly. Thank God her Knight and Shining Armor, Matt walks in! I honestly felt like I knew this couple, like I could sit down and talk with them face to face. If that were to happen we would be friends for live bc this woman is a SURVIVOR, A FIGHTER!!
    I could go on and on about how much I enjoyed this book, but people no matter if you have not been thru abuse or anything near should read this book!! I really thought at first what an inspirational story, then I was like I don't know, it's not really my style, etc.
    However, THIS BOOK IS A TRUE INSPIRATION TO ALL WOMEN AND A REMINDER THAT WE ARE FIGHTERS! WE ARE STRONG AND TO NEVER GIVE UP!!
    Boy did I cry like a baby, bc you just don't know if Matt makes it... I have never cried like that with any book before!! 5 star hands down the best book!!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars This story was an emotional journey and it left me reeling!
    Reviewed in Canada on March 28, 2019
    I am going to start by saying domestic abuse is a very real issue and it can not be taken lightly in any way. This story sheds light on just one woman's journey through the pain and isolation of abuse, both physical and mental. Avery and Max have incredibly hard issues and circumstances to work through and Angela Snyder brings us to those issues and through them with a grace and beauty that is hard to find in such a dark and sad theme. Even though cheating is very much a hard limit for me, in this book I don't actually feel or see it as cheating, you may have to read the story to understand this point, and I highly recommend that you do. This story was an emotional journey and it left me reeling!

    5.0 out of 5 stars MUST read!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 21, 2015
    I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book.

    I have no clue where to start! I've been waiting-sort of-patiently for months for this book. I knew it would be brilliant, but damn, it was even better than I had anticipated!

    I just wanted to grab Avery from out of the book to save and hug her! She's a fantastic character, who unfortunately got the short end of the stick in the monster husband area. I could have quite happily killed Nathan, fictional I know, but still... He's an awful fictional human being!

    Then there's Max... *sigh*, well he's perfect, and I wanted to take him out the book for a whole other reason! He's amazing, and is everything Avery wants and needs, but didn't dare dream of. Their connection is incredible, I just love them!

    This book is written in spectacular detail and sets the scenes perfectly, you can picture everyone, everything and everywhere. Before you know it, you've been transported to a whole other story, and let me tell you, you feel every scene too! I honestly lost count of the amount of times this book made me ball like a baby! But that, for me, just says how amazing it is.
    I hope people who are or have suffered with any kind of abuse, find some strength in this story, it's truly inspirational.

    I really can't recommend this book enough, one click! An exceptionally talented author!

    Saving Avery by Angela Snyder a five-star read that will astound you. This is a sublime stand-alone about a subject that I have only seen done well by three authors and I am so pleased that Angela Is one of them, I am doing a rare thing and writing this review when I haven’t fully finished the book, I am almost there but I have loved this book so hard, I am concerned that if the end goes one way I wont be able to write the review for crying every time I think of this book, and I loved it so much I felt like I had to yell it from the room tops and not let it be hidden away. Angela Snyder has dealt with a subject close to my heart and I loved it, she shows us how any woman can be affected and how you don’t have to worry about that fact, you don’t have to be strong all the time, that was part of the thing I loved most. It’s a real story with characters you will adore, don’t let this story scare you away, you need it in your life!!
