Have you ever wanted to go back?I’ve contemplated it everyday for the last six years.Knowing once I did, I’d wreck everything all over again, but still—I dream.Until last night.My past came back to me.As I finished my set, looking through the smoke and flashing lights, I see him. The wreckage still written on Chord’s face, tells me hell’s coming. I can’t erase the hurt my leaving caused, and I’ll … erase the hurt my leaving caused, and I’ll be damned if I let him wreck us even more.
But when I utter one word, I know we’re finished before we can even begin to pick up the pieces.

I loved that this story was as realistic as you can get. Full of emotions.
This has got to be the best book of the series. I have had so many “awww” or actual crying moments with these two it is ridiculous. Chord and Sarah have been best friends since they were in kindergarten. He has protected her and loved her until one day she’s gone. Their story is one that will do so much to you emotionally that I can’t even convey it. This author writes a story that has you knee deep in drama, emotions and moments that dictated the moves of these two it’s painful. The love that last. The love that grows. The love that kept them and grew is what we all dream of. It doesn’t feel like a book it feels like you are welcoming friends. This author just keeps getting better and better and so does this series. I love these two and love all of the characters as they show all of the love and welcome to these two. I love Sarah, she stands strong thru everything even when she has to fight off his old flames. Other people, insecurities and time are their worse enemies.
There are so many moments in this book that I want to mention, hell that need to be mentioned but then you would have no reason to read it. This author is amazing, the book had me crying, and I do mean ugly crying and then laughing thru my tears. It’s the best combination of all you look for in a book. I thought the last one was amazing but it doesn’t compare. This series continues to get better with each book, how I have no clue.
This is my first time reading a story written by this author and I was really impressed with the raw emotions that were flowing. This 4 star story really gutted me raw.
Sarah and Chord met in kindergarten and have been best friends since then. Sarah comes from a broken home. A mother who didn’t care for her. After being best friends for years they admit their feelings for each other and then they get separated unwillingly . Chord never stopped looking for her and then he finds her. They will go through heartbreaking events that will leave them raw and exposed. This is their journey.
Beautifully written with an amazing storyline that was spread out through many years. There was some heartfelt moments as well as some pretty intense heartbreaking ones. This is not just a love story, it’s about family coming together in times of needs. Bottomline is this is a must read.
Standalone told in a dual POV with an HEA. I recommend this story.
WHERE IS THAT TISSUE!!!
A wonderful, steady paced, easy to follow, heartbreaking, gut wretching read that cuts straight to the soul. This one in a million reads that bring you to your knees in a second or strong as steel in the next. You’ll fall in love with the characters as their personalities transform and you get to know them. Their past is demolish at its finest. Only a soulmate can make that diffetence. Leaona has shown her true talents at its finest. With scenes so realistic you felt like you’re intruding but you can’t look away. If it were a trian wreck you’d be on the tracks. An incredible read I would recommend to everyone who loves a good cry as well as the love story of a lifetime.
This is he story of sarah and chord buckle up and get your tissues at he ready because your going to need them. Sarah and chord’s story takes your on one hell of a journey be prepares its a rollercoaster of a ride…
Wrecking Us Saving You takes you on an emotional journey that will stay with you forever.
Absolutely adored this book. Will tug every possible heart string you can imagine! Highly recommend this beautiful story.
I’ve never been so wracked with emotion so intense as I was reading Wrecking. I was gutted through each turn of the page, completely broken through the end. Absolute must read.
Where do I even start!?….
I was so excited to read Chord’s story.
About half way through the book, I have to say I hated Leaona and what she did to Chord and Sarah. I didn’t want to read it anymore but I COULDN’T put it down. I was so emotionally invested in the characters and the amazing Silas. All I kept saying to myself was, “How could she be so cruel at such an amazing point in these people’s lives?”
I was torn apart between hating Leaona and loving her! My heart broke and then was mended back together by the way she ended the book. The stress, the strain, love, exhaustion, and everything this couple endured you could feel to the point where you’re heart died right along with theirs. You cried for them because how dare they go through what they did after so many years.
I absolutely loved this. I really can’t describe how amazingly written Wrecking Us Saving You is. You can see how much Leaona has grown in her writing from book 1. I wish I could get into detail about what happens in this book because I could sit here forever and type out every little thing in the book I loved!! Hands down my favorite book of all the books she’s written. Very proud of Miss Leaona, as she should be!!
Fell in love with Wrecking Us Saving You at the same moment Chord fell in love with Sarah, when they were in Kindergarten. Such an incredible story of love conquering all! There are no words to describe this book without spoiling it. I could not put this book down and, yes, it gave me a book hangover. Buy this book, find a comfy spot, and a box or two of Kleenex, you’re going to need them.
What do you say about a book that builds you up and breaks you down all at the same time? You say, Leaona Luxx what have you done?!
Wrecking Us Saving You was my first book by Leaona Luxx and I loved it. I wasn’t expecting that she would make me cry because when you ‘meet’ somebody for the first time, shouldn’t it be just warm and fuzzy feels? Wrecking Us Saving You will take you on such an emotional journey. I’m glad I didn’t read any spoilers and I will not spoil it for you either.
The story of Sarah and Chord is beautiful. The love they share is timeless. “You have been my heart for as long as I can remember, I can even tell you when you became my soul. It was the first day I kissed you, I knew there would never be another like you.”
After finishing Wrecking Us Saving You, I was reminded how important family is. To me, Leaona Luxx portrays very strong family values in her writing which must come from her own beliefs and her heart of gold. Well done!
Chord and Sarah have the making of a life long love. They meet at five years old and Chord is captivated by her. She is just trying to fit in and not be embarrassed by her upbringing. They become best friends throughout school until they are prodded to become what they each really wnat to be. They start dating and know that this is it for them. They make plans for college and beyond. Until she’s ripped away from him. Chord is beyond devastated. He searches for her and hires a PI to do what he can’t. The note that he found in her text book won’t let him give up. He has to know where she is and what happened to the child she was carrying. Years later and he finds her in the most unlikely place but won’t be walking away from her ever.
So I must say this was one of the best ugly cry books I have ever read. There is so much going for and against them that I was pulling for them on every page. It seemed just when they would get a happily ever after something else would get in the way, include the two of them. They are both stubborn to the point where they can’t express what they need from each other and that is where they fail. The support system in the form of family (both blood and not) is what gets them to see the other side of things. I can’t even tell you how much I adored their son. Silas was a typical boy but so much more. He brings everyone together in a way that you can’t help but love him. He has unconditional love for Chord’s family. And he sees what no one else can.
Every once in a while I’m in the mood for an angsty read. My hubby listens to me sniffling as I read and always asks, “Why are you reading something that makes you cry?” And I’ll reply, “Because it’s sooooo good!” This book…. it will stick with you for days to come and put you in a reading slump when you’re done. My favorite trope is friends to lovers… and Sarah and Chord’s story will tear your heart out and stomp it flat. (Be sure to have plenty of tissues on hand) And then ever so carefully, Ms. Luxx will piece it back together. But you will never be the same afterward. If this one doesn’t become a movie, Hollywood is missing out!
Chord & Sarah’s Story had me Balling my eyes out !!!
If you are looking for a beautifully written ,Emotional story about childhood sweethearts getting a second chance at love .Well you’ve found the right book and Author .This story gave me gooseflesh and made me sob like a baby .

Leaona Luxx this book is heartbreakingly beautiful and I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much reading a book, my kindle needed windscreen wipers. The beautiful cover grabs your attention and then your glued to the very last page.
Chord is One and Thayer’s youngest brother, this can be read as a standalone but I would definitely read the Cherry Grove & Highway 17 series as the characters link in.
Chord is from a loving close knit family, he knew from an early age how to treat the girls and when he met little Sarah who’s life was the total opposite of what he knows as family she stole his young heart. Teenage friends to lovers, then ripped apart, to find her after years of searching with the best gift life could give them, the sweetest most loving little boy, but life is cruel and about to put their relationship through the biggest test of their lives.
Will their love be strong enough to overcome their pain?
Will they get the HEA they deserve?
Rip out my heart!!! What an ugly cry. This took longer to read then normal but the emotional journey was hard. I couldn’t read it all at once without taking breaks.
Leaona has done it again. She has knocked it out of the park. This book is amazing. The characters are well developed, and will capture your heart. You will not be ble to put this down until the very last page. I highly recommend you buy this book.
This story was a ride like no other. I’ve read plenty of tear jerkers in my time but this one put me through the ringer and left me with a book hangover like none have before.
The characters in this story feel like family. These series, while individual, have an interconnectedness that makes each new story a dream to read and a ride to enjoy.
Chord has been a character I have wanted to read for a while now. He did not disappoint. He was a dream to get to know and left me feeling like he was definitely worth waiting for.
The storyline was engaging, emotional, raw and a joy to explore.
Leaona had fast become a #1Click author and this story makes you see why.
Never had a story touch my heart as much as this one has! This is a poignant love story that started in first grade. Chord knew when he first saw Sarah that she would be his forever friend. Through the years their friendship turned into love. This story is touching, emotional, funny ,and heart wrenching.
Sarah Puckett and Jarman Day are perfect narrators for this emotional, heartbreaking, story full of love. Every emotion, love, funny, anger, loss and heartache are felt ..Definately a have your tissues ready for this one.
