4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,379 ratings

Retired Army Captain Liam Brosnan and US Marshal Chelsea Kilpatrick are forced to question what they know about a murder that forces them together. Uncertain connections from Liam’s military career rope them into a cloak-and-dagger investigation that offers more questions than answers. Being duty-bound while in the throes of grief is a dangerous mixture. They struggle with unexpected sparks of passion and question their loyalty to a woman they loved while a murderer closes in on his next target.

Will the explosive solace Liam and Chelsea find in one another lead to a love neither expected? Or will it blind them to looming danger and death? THE SAVIOR is a standalone romantic suspense novel.

    I made the title plural because of the story line, without any spoilers. I just want to say I've really never loved to cry when reading but when I got over that I found myself in a gripping story. It's refreshing to have honest characters, writing that just doesn't quit, keeps my interest with a great plot, strong characters and a wonderful love story with a happily ever after, or so one hopes! Can't wait to read the rest of the series.

    What a sweet and heart wrenching story! Cristin Harber has a best seller for sure!! This incredible story takes your emotions on a roller coaster ride of deep sadness and heartwarming excitement.

    There are an eye-opening cast of characters that keep the reader totally invested in this story to see just how crazy intense its going to be and how it’s going to play out. If you have read any of this author’s previous books, you will know what I mean.

    After Liam’s gut-wrenching loss, I didn’t know how the author was going to pull of a decent relationship between Liam and Chelsea without it feeling like a second rate rebound. Not only did she pull it off, but it is presented with finesse and grace which is honest and exhilarating. I forgot to mention that it is incredibly HOT! Once they let themselves acknowledge it, this couple have an intense sexual attraction!

    So many intricate twists and turns with exciting chemistry! A very well done introduction to a fabulous new series! I can’t wait for more!

    I loved it!

    I am an avid reader, especially this genre of book Cristin Harber is her usual outstanding self. I find her characters to have depth & a realism that many authors struggle to accomplish. Liam is strong & resilient. It may have taken him a bit to come out of the fog after Julia, but he & Chelsea find happiness. I like that Chelsea is strong, but not the in your kind face that has to remind you that she's a female in a male-dominated world. I also like how both characters have a never-say-die type attitude. When life kicked them in the teeth, they both got up and persevered. The fact that they found each other is just the cherry on the sundae. Great read, and great addition to my collection of Cristin Harber books. Looking forward to reading this whole series. Thank you Cristen Harber!

    I felt this story just touched the surface. It would have worked better if we had more of the relationship with Liam and Julia and felt his sorrow more.

    At the end of the story, I wanted Julia's parents to react to the relationship between H/h, but nothing mentioned. Then we have the story of the h and a secret she discovered of her mom. That just wasn't fleshed out either.

    Lovemaking outside of marriage heat level 5 out of 5. No cheating, no cliffhanger, HEA, little on romance and steam. Lord's name used in vain and crude words. I can't improve on the blurb, just giving you extra tidbits to decide whether to purchase. (ljb)

    SQUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
    I've been waiting, semi-patiently, for this book, this series, THESE WORDSSSSSS!!!
    Finally.
    And the words? They are oh, so good.
    The Savior is going to be the very first book in a brand new series by the lovely Cristin Harber. Though it reads as stand-alone, it is written in her Titan Universe; so fans may recognize little cherry bombs or "Easter- eggs" as Cristin would call them. I found a few and squealed when I recognized something. But if you've never read one of her books, you wouldn't be lost at all.
    As with most all Harber novels, the hero and the heroine are both bada**. Liam is a military contractor. Chelsea is a U.S. Marshall. And when the two team up, it's explosive and intense. The whole story is filled with suspense, an extra helping of action and served with a side of heartache. Cristin combines this all in to a beautiful story about finding justice for the pain, overcoming the past and creating a new future while taking down a terrorist.
    I have yet to write a Cristin Harber review that didn't contain most of the following warnings. Liam and Chelsea will steam up your kindle screen with lots of graphic naughty times. Your ears might burn a bit from Liams' strong language, but then Chelsea's' creative curses will make you laugh! Then there's the RPG's and fight scenes that make me need to mention "violence" and possible combat triggers. Pretty much all the stuff that makes it a mandatory read IMHO.

    AGES: 18+
    SERIES: YES.
    WARNINGS: graphic sex, violence, naughty language, drinking, combat/LEO related ptsd triggers
    RATING: 5/5

    Happy Reading!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Westin's Aces start their own series with some style
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 29, 2020
    I couldn't give this book five stars mostly because it lacked a certain something that would make it stand out as a Harber novel usually does.
    Maybe a lack of action, or lack of Jared's usual sarcasm or simply just a lack of direction.
    The story begins with a horrific incident and the writing is right and moves the story right along but then it stalls a little as personalities develop and we are left wondering what is going on behind the scenes while Liam is running around in circles.
    Perhaps the story would have felt more rounded if we had been given an insight into how Jared was swimming with the sharks and following his early character traits as a cold operator. It would have set the scene as the prequel to the Titan series and added a smile to Westin's aficionados.
    Yes, undoubtedly, I will be continuing the series
