review 1: Remember what I just said about bad covers? This one just takes the cake completely. Do you know how many times I scrolled past this book because of this truly terrible cover? Forget all of your preconceived notions about this book. It has nothing to do with bikers, and the title is just the worst as well. If I had to rename this book, I'd definitely call it "Saving Eli." So, just pretend that's the name of it, mmkay?If I had to compare this book to something, I'd definitely say it runs along a similar vein to "Finding Home" by Lauren Baker, only a little more mature and fleshed out. Basically we have a 40-year-old heroine who knows what she wants in life (please let this be me some day), which is a pretty nice change from the wishy-washy new adults I've been devouring for... more the past year. The hero of the story is a much younger guy with a rough background history and a can-do attitude. Yes, we've got an age gap situation going on, and for those who know me, that is my weakness.
review 2: Fairy tales are good for our imagination. They stimulate it and help our creativity grow as well as taking us beyond our every day lives.There is also a moral behind every fairy tale and they teach us how we can be better, generous and that we all have strength – we only need to call upon that strength to believe. Eli Court did not believe in fairy tales until he met 39 year old Widow Marilyn Ballard. A chance meeting on a dark night brings Marilyn face to face with the street wise biker when he comes to her rescue. Eli Court is 25, he wears leather, has piercing and he rides a Harley. He is no Prince Charming. Marilyn Ballard has a past, an 18 years old daughter and long denied secrets.What I like about Gail Dayton is that she has created a beautiful story which deals with complex issues. The characters are well developed real, sincere and honest and they have to deal with so much sorrow and heartbreak throughout the story. Gail Dayton makes you feel their emotion and what they went through. This is a well crafted story between an older woman and a younger man.So if you want to find out if Eli and Marlilyn get their happy ever after then read this story. It will fill you heart. less
