Publisher's Summary

Ari, who comes from a loving family that has had more than its share of difficulties, is faced with the possibility of losing the love of her life. All she dreams of is growing old and having children with Jeff, but a family history and a conniving Rebecca could shatter that dream.

Trying to support Jeff and cope with all the truths and possibilities of her own destiny may prove to be more than Ari can handle.

Jeff's dream is to raise horses on his ranch in Mason with the only woman who has ever filled his heart and soul. But he's running the risk of losing her by trying to be the man he knows he should be. He's completely bewitched by the passionate and ever outspoken Ari, but needs to do right for the child that could possibly be his.

Despite all the odds stacked against them, can their relationship be saved?

Who ends a book like that ? Ohh wait Kelly Elliott does , that was no epilogue that was the worse Teaser EVER! Saved starts off exactly where Wanted ended. With a whole bunch of drama! Up. Down. Up. Down. It has hook ups, break ups, discovering new loves, losing your first love, birth, death…well you get the picture…up…down. What an emotional roller coaster!! This story will bring to the highest highs and then BAM, you are hit with the lowest lows. And just when you think there is no hope, there you go back up on those highs. A complete bunch of emotions run through you with this book. In this book, Ellie and Gunner are happily married. Ari and Jeff are determined to live a life together, which is easier said than done when Rebecca is equally determined to snare herself a baby daddy. Meanwhile, another pair of secondary characters, Josh and Heather, are flip flopping in a love/hate relationship themselves. Basically, some important storylines are neatly tied up with a bow, but at the same time, there is a whole new gift box full of questions and what ifs. This is a good book and an angst lover’s dream. Elliott has really stepped up her game with Saved.

Good But SO MUCH DRAMA!

If you're looking for easy romance to listen to, this one's not for you. About half of the characters have had car accidents and about a dozen misunderstandings that almost end relationships between the 2 books in this series. (And there's still one more book to go) Just when you're setting in from one drama another happens. It's too much. However as one feels when a train wretch happens I can't look away even though I should. Perhaps this shows how great the author is in developing the characters that you can't help but follow them. So if you can handle drama and non-stops roller coaster rides, and not necessarily the fun kinds, then give this series a try.

Lacks creativity repeated of dialogue

A lot of the story line repeated it self in different ways from the first book. The irony of similarity between Jason and heather relationship and Ari and Jeff from book one. To the accidents such as Eli and then josh, Josh's had a bit of a twist but then heather's mess up similar to jeffs just not as extreme as jeffs the story was a lot alike. Some of the love scenes seemed to lack creativity in difference from other scenes. Apparently everybody in the book loves the same and has the same moments.

Love this series

Well written stories about interconnected friends. Love the male characters and how they treat their women. Well worth a credit!

Delicious book 2 WANTED SERIES😘

So this is book is mainly focused on Ari and Jeff’s story in first half of book and it’s also told from point of view of all six friends; Elle&Gunner (book 1), Jeff&Ari as well as Heather&Josh. We hear a lot more from Heather and Josh in second half as lead up to the third book.
Both books so far are romantic, good ole boy with sexy&soft sides who are crazy about their girls; the girls are funny, beautiful as well as crazy in love for their boys. I especially love Ari, her bad tempered, foul mouth self takes no crap from anyone lol, especially psycho ex girlfriends trying sabotage relationships. I have admit sometimes I wanted strangle Elle in first book (very immature) and found myself feeling same about Heather...annoying. And I find the same language being used a little too much (don’t really need hear girls say “oh...my....god” in their internal dialogue one hundred times. I will also say that the boys get duped so damn easy by crazy girls I found myself smh....every guy (Gunner, Jeff, Josh) are written as “players” or “manwhores” in college & in set up scenes they handle hookups like pros and stay away from crazy clingers. Yet....when they finally fall in love they magically los

Good but...

The French was out of left field and cheesy. but a good story over all

Don't read unless you like Drama

This story is frustrating, and drama filled. Jefferson is a asshole every bit of the time. Unintentional of course, but he needs to be slapped. If you want a dripping romance story this is not for you. The story brought me to tears, as well as made me laugh, and it did have several romantic moments that died moments later as drama came into the story again. I hate women like Rebecca. However I did enjoy the story and it kept me in suspense to see where it was going to take the characters.

Another great story!

Kelley Elliot delivers again. I'm like a chain smoker with this series. Once I finish one, I have to listen/read the next book. Get hooked!

Horrible Narrators

The narrators have the same tone and voice for the guys and girls. The women narrator sounds like a raspy older lady when the characters are in their early 20s. Most of the characters have the same sayings and do the same things. I understand that a few may be the same every once in a while but seriously it's over done.
