SAVING TOBY

SAVING TOBY
by: Suzanne McKenna
 
 
 

Synopsis:
Loving someone through their hard fall from grace takes a lot of grit.
Hired on as a caretaker to the ailing Mrs. Faye, Claudia Chiatmetti is drawn into the lives of the widow and her son — a world where sadness lingers and old wounds run deep. Empathetic to the family's plight, Claudia is powerless against the emerging feelings she has for the unruly Toby Faye. Up close, Toby’s blue-grey eyes expose a need she cannot ignore. His dark past will test her fortitude and expose her to danger.
Does Claudia have the grit to love Toby through it?
Saving Toby is a powerful and moving debut novel set on the south shore of Long Island. It is the first book of a two-part story that follows the emotional and inspirational tale of a young couple's journey to find themselves.

MY REVIEW:
 
I was given this book as an ARC, in exchange for an honest review.

I give this book 5 stars.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the characters, the story line, which felt like things that happen in real life, the challenges, the heartachs, the love, commitment, and how people really can change.

It also brought a few tears through out the entire book, but I still enjoyed it.
I am so glad that Suzanne contacted me about reviewing this book. There are so so many out there, you cannnot see them all, and I have to say I lucked up with this one.
I am always going through my books on my kindle (over 1,000) to see what I will read next. It is always hard to decide. But when oppertunities like this come along, it's even better. Especially when the book was so good.

So thank you Suzanne for the ARC. I truly enjoyed this realistic, down to earth book, and I cannot wait for the second part. Please don't keep us waiting to long!!!!
