I voluntarily share my review on behalf of Reading Through Her Eyes
Saving Graves is book two in The Club Irons Novels but can be read as a standalone. This book is centered on Anthony Graves, A Dom at Club Irons that we first met is Drew Sera’s Everett Gaming Series, but only as a 17 year old boy. This takes us on the journey of Anthony becoming the Dom he is.
Overall Thoughts: After having read The Everett Gaming Series I thought I’d been in loved with Anthony, but this book brought a new love for him to light. We got to see him as a 17 year old struggling with abuse that nearly kills him. Your heart can’t help but break as we watch Anthony suffer while his estranged father tries to help him overcome the abuse of his past. I related to the character because of my own personal past, we each have triggers that bring back flashbacks of what we’ve endured. Drew Sera has a way of bringing the emotional aspect to her writing that will allow you to feel it as if you are the character. Like the rest of her books I’ve read I was left crying for what Anthony went through, angered that his so called mother allowed him to endure what he did and joy that his father was trying to help him as best as he could.
Note: This book is not for the light hearted. It does contain dark content and needs to be read with caution if you cannot handle topics such has child abuse or BDSM elements.
Oh, my heart hurt for young Anthony! The unspeakable pain and suffering he endured as a child were horrific. One should never fear those who are supposed to be giving him care and protection. We previously met Anthony in the Everett Gaming Series, but now we see just how he came to be one of the most sought after Doms, after surviving an abusive childhood and being left for dead. I don’t think anyone could read this and remain dry-eyed.
Anthony was a broken man in a dark place, lost and unable to accept and love himself. God bless Blake for coming into his life just when Anthony needed him! I love how Drew Sera weaves such a touching and emotional tale of bleakness, desolation, and renewal of spirit. This is not a romance story by any means. It’s a story of a man rising from the ashes and learning how to be comfortable in his own skin, and to know that he can take control of his life on his own terms.
I loved this darkly beautiful and emotional story, and I feel like I know the characters and can relate to them on some level. Another piece of the puzzle has been slipped into place in the life of Anthony Graves. This was such a brilliant and amazing story!
Totally hot, and very emotional it takes a special author to be able to write about all the tragic that happen to Anthony and make him a strong dominate man that some how came out on top in life. Drew Sera is that good to make you feel like your in there with the characters and you feel the pain, tears, laughter in the story of Graves .
Loved it
This book is a emotional ride.I never cried so much through a book but it was so worth it I ache for Anthony and can’t wait to see where his story leads him. This is such an emotional and painful journey that Anthony goes through and my heart aches for him.
Oh my lord, I love Anthony!! What a great book!! Drew Sera you rock, this book is worth more then 5 stars, it’s a must read.
All of Drew’s books keep you waiting for the next page, and this one does not disappoint in the least. I was hooked on Anthony Graves from the Everett Gaming Series, and to read this book showing his emotional story as a child growing into a young man it heart wrenching. Anthony is such a emotionally wrecked loving soul who has to overcome so much in a short time, it’s so hard to see how he develops in to a character in the other books who becomes so giving and caring about everyone around him. This story is so well written you can feel the emotions of everyone in it and will not want to put it down.
if you haven’t read the Everett Gaming series or the other Club Irons books I highly recommend you do.
Wow what a emotional story. Drew Sera had me rivited from the very beginning. Anthony’s story had be crying and falling in love. I couldn’t get enough of this book.
This was an amazing book. Saving Graves takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride through Anthony’s life. The things you learn will have you in tears. This is a must read book.
Omg this book is amazing. Drew sera has the ability to make you feel every word she’s written. This book tore at my heart and made me love Anthony all the more. I love learning more about how he came to be the man that we all love. So excited for the next book. Written to perfection and I highly recommend.
