When nineteen-year-old Jamie Abbott is outed to his very rich, conservative, and religious family, he faces the situation with his chin held high, refusing to bow to his parents’ demand that he denounce his sexuality.
Twenty-nine-year-old John “Kirk” Kirkland finds fulfillment in his work as a police officer and enjoys building community relationships at the local teen center, although true happiness has always eluded him.
When a domestic abuse call brings Kirk to Jamie’s front yard, a rocky relationship is born. Jamie doesn’t need a hero, but Kirk can’t ignore the unexpected protectiveness and concern he feels for the young man.
Desperate to prove he doesn’t need Kirk, Jamie succumbs to the support offered by a man with a dubious agenda.
Can Jamie concede that everyone needs rescuing from time-to-time? Will Kirk find his own happily-ever-after? Or will their relationship fail before it even begins?
**Saving Us is a hurt/comfort, age-gap M/M romance.**

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Escape into addictive, sexy, emotional M/M romance.

A.D. Ellis is an Indiana girl, born and raised. She spends much of her time in central Indiana as an instructional coach/teacher in the inner city of Indianapolis, being a mom to two amazing teens, and wondering how she and her husband of over two decades haven't driven each other insane yet. A lot of her time is also devoted to phone call avoidance and her hatred of cooking.

She loves chocolate, hot tea, sweet wine with friends, pizza, and naps along with reading and writing romance. These loves don’t leave much time for housework, much to the chagrin of her husband. Who would pick cleaning the house over a nap or a good book? She uses any extra time to increase her fluency in sarcasm.

A.D. uses she/they pronouns.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, touching story
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2018

Once again A.D. Ellis has written a wonderful, touching story. I felt all the emotions as I read. Saving Us is a beautiful romance but it is so much more. It deals with homophobia, violence(this happened before the story started), and predation. It also deals with inner strength, self-acceptance, growth, and overcoming the obstacles in life. I highly recommend reading this story.

Saving Us really touched my heart and made me cry. "For all the Roy’s out there." May there come a day when there are no more Roy's, and Jamie's, out there. A day when all families accept their children with unconditional love.

4.0 out of 5 stars Playing It Close to the Line
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2018

The major concern some might have here is that this is supposed to be a romance between a 29-year-old cop and the 19-year-old gay man whom he saved from a vicious beating by his father after he was deliberately outed--the difference in ages, of course, is what first pops up as a caution.

But that's a minor aspect of this very nicely plotted sidebar to the Breakfast Club series. There's lots of turmoil throughout, from cop Kirk's overprotective crush on a very stubborn Jamie to the secrets they stumble upon about each other.

And then there's a truly nasty sequence of events that form the heart of the plot--when proud and naïve Jamie gets swept up by a predator who you will hate immediately.

Needless to say this harrowing plot twist leads to a sweet ending that is even believable. Nicely done.

3.0 out of 5 stars Story just doesn't live up to it's potential!
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2018

I had a hard time rating this book because I kept wanting to like it simply because I got to interact with some of my favorite characters from Felice Stevens' "Memories with The Breakfast Club" series some more. However, she really didn't use those characters very well and then she decided to focus more on drama and angst than on the relationship between Kirk and Jamie. I decided on 3 stars based on the fact that I thought she did well in her development of their characters and what we got to see of them together. I think her concept of story was a good one... just not one that could be properly developed and completed in 98 pages. So much was left either never explored or worse yet not resolved, especially Alec's fate and also the results of Don's trial. The story feels like it was rushed to publication; an example is that the page listing the author's book starts outwith "If you enjoyed Adam & Kyle's story..." obviously it was cut and pasted from another of her books and she didn't even both to change the names to Kirk and Jamie.
Overall this story was ok... just no where near what it could have been.

This is the 1st book I have read by the author. I loved the story so much that I have to share - that I listened to this book while driving, at one point I was actually talking out-loud to the lead character like an exciting movie. Loved the story so much, I purchased 10 stories (2 bundle collections) more from the author!

This is a novella style book; it's short, but intense and sexy. It's a May/December M/M romance. I had to look up the May/December, basically there's a big age gap in the relationship. Good read, recommend.

OMG, another great entry in this e=series. What a perfect fit for the Breakfast Club crowd. This was terrifying and sweet by turns. With a real bad guy and a resilient and strong young man who fights back the best way he knows how this book will keep you on the edge of your seat.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not A.D. Ellis best story
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2018
Verified Purchase
I have read most of this author's books and series and this story just wasn't up to her usual standards. The relationship between Jamie and Kirk missed the spark, the lust, the intensity. The two men spend more time bickering at the beginning and worrying during their time apart before falling into bed in the last chapter of the book, without having actually developed any true connection. There is little background description and sometime the two lovers just felt two-dimensional.

I know this is a short read but there was no real depth to the story. I has to double check I hadn't read it previously as it was entirely too familiar. As I hadn't read it, I can only therefore label it as predictable.
