Save Me

By: Mona Kasten, Rachel Ward - translator

Narrated by: Will Watt, Marisa Calin

The first book in the international bestselling Maxton Hall series—now a Prime Video streaming series—in English for the first time.

They come from different worlds, and yet they are meant for each other.

Money, glamour, luxury, power—Ruby Bell couldn’t be less interested in these things if she tried. After being awarded a scholarship to one of England’s most prestigious and expensive private schools, Maxton Hall, all she wants is to keep her head down, work hard, and get accepted to Oxford. She keeps her distance from everyone, especially the arrogant, rich, and extremely handsome James Beaufort, ringleader of the school’s party boys.

When Ruby discovers a scandalous secret about the Beauforts, she is suddenly on James’s radar. It only gets worse when James is forced to work with her to plan the school's annual gala. Yet the more time they spend together, the more they realize they share much more than they thought.

Falling for James Beaufort was never part of her plan, yet Ruby can’t help but let her feelings sweep her away. But James must make a decision for himself: will he choose what’s expected of him, or what he feels for her?

Just as good as expected

This book was everything I thought it would be after watching the show!! I truly enjoyed it and can’t wait for the next one!!

Save Me (Maxton Hall Series Book 1)

Save Me (Maxton Hall Series Book 1) ~- I listened to this on Audible, and right from the start, I was hooked. The narration pulled me in immediately it felt natural, emotional, and really brought the characters to life in a way that made it hard to stop listening. This is one of those stories where you say “just one more chapter”… and suddenly it’s hours later.

Ruby and James completely carried this story. Ruby is strong, focused, and determined to rise above her circumstances, while James starts off as your typical privileged, frustrating, closed-off character—but you quickly realize there’s so much more underneath. The tension between them? It’s there from the beginning and just keeps building. You can hear it in the narrator’s tone, and it makes every interaction feel real.

What I loved most about the audiobook is how the emotional moments hit harder. The arguments, the misunderstandings, the quiet vulnerable moments—they all felt amplified hearing them instead of just reading them. And let’s be honest… James will test your patience more than once, but that just makes the story better.

By the end of this book, I was fully invested. There’s enough drama, tension, and emotional pull to keep you completely engaged—and yes, it leaves you needing the next book immediately.

I absolutely loved this series and highly recommend it. If you enjoy listening to emotional, character-driven stories, you should definitely listen to this series—you won’t regret it.
