I’ll be honest, I almost gave this book a lower rating than I did. I’ve read many romances before that were basically insta-love or insta-lust, in some cases. And I understand that this is a billionaire romance, but I just thought that Morgan spending a lot of money on Ellie in one way or another after only having met her maybe a few days before was ridiculous.
Then there was the fact that he admitted to himself that he loved her, which in some respect it seemed to be what prompted him to buy her some of the things that he did. Next thing you know, however, he sleeps with her for the first time and then leaves her. He realizes he made a mistake and goes back. But then he pretty much does it a second time, claiming he realized her loved her and that it scared him. He’d already admitted to himself that he loved her at the beginning of the book, so it just made no sense to me.
And as for the writing, I found a lot of mistakes in it. It was more like a first draft, a rough first draft, as opposed to a finished product.
I can probably safely say that I’ll not be buying book two of this series. Now if it ever turns up on Amazon for free, I may get it. With the way it ended, I am curious about what is going to happen; however, it feels as if this new twist in the story was added as an afterthought. There just didn’t feel like there was any lead-up to where the story goes at the very end. Maybe there wasn’t supposed to be. I really don’t know.
This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I loved the way he made the relationship between Ellie and Morgan seem so real with all the ups and downs and mishaps. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Educating Ellie (Book 1 of Catching Fire Series) left me immediately wanting to buy book 2! Ellie and Morgan meet as her place of employment goes up in fire. Morgan rescues Ellie and that is the beginning of their “relationship”. They both have issues from the past that they have to work through. This book has a small amount of master and submissive, if it had more I would have given it 5 stars! This book really delves into the main characters, and the end which is a cliff hanger – leaves you really wanting more. Great book – worth the time to read – I still think about the book and its characters. This book has lots of steam. I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
I love this book!! I love that it does have some “realistic” feel to it!
Educating Ellie is mind blowing, you would never expect half of what happens.. It is well written and easy to follow!
Ellie & Morgan
She is a poor, low class waitress and an independent woman. She works paycheck to paycheck in order to only have what is necessary!
He is a Billionaire CEO playboy, who is use to getting whatever and whomever he wants.
Ellie meets Morgan when he saves her from a burning building, when the dinner she works at goes up in flames. She thinks that he is her angel. He thinks she is just another girl that he can have and leave!
What happens when Morgan and Ellie spend more time together?
Can Ellie handle a world she has never known?
Does Ellie really mean nothing to Morgan, will he really be able to walk away from her??
I guess you will have to read to find out!! 🙂
Love at first Save? I enjoyed the storyline to this book. I also enjoyed all the ups and downs they characters seemed to have. I am looking forward to reading the next in the series!
