As my demons threaten to consume me, she proves again and again why she’s always been my saving grace. We may have missed our chance all those years ago, but Marines never quit, and I’ll be damned if I ever let her go again.

Ok so I've been waiting for this book for a while and let me tell you the wait was well worth it because Amanda Carol delivered an emotional military/second chance at romance were the couple first had to face heartbreak, loss and healing before finding their happy ever after. In other words, prepare yourself because this story is a rollercoaster of emotions.
Cassie and Dylan were high school sweethearts who were hoping for a future together but destiny had other plans for them and Dylan goes to serve in the marines while Cassie stays with a broken heart. Years later Dylan is back , but he is not the same man Cassie once knew.
My heart goes for Dylan, as an ex marine he has seen an experienced horrible things while serving, he suffers from PTSD and carries guilt for leaving Cassie the way he did. Luckily for him Cassie never stop loving him and she is there when he needs it the most.
This was a beautiful story and I can't wait for the next book in the series. -

And here I was, thinking this story will be easy on me…… 😭😭😭

I received an ARC of this story and this is my voluntary review. -
This book is part of a series and while it can be read as a standalone it should be read in order for the best understanding and secondary character(s) backgrounds. Saving Grace (Heroes of River Falls #2) was worth the wait! This book is not only a fantastic second chance romance it also is extremely well written. The author took the time to research and get actual feedback from veterans (especially those that suffer from PTSD) and it shows! As a veteran I was touched by the amount of knowledge and emotions she included in this book to thank her personally.

This is the second book that I have read by this author and this an amazing series. This is a Heroes of River Falls book #2 it is part of a series but can also be read as a stand-alone.
This is Cassie and Dylan's story and they go through so much. They were together and so much in love when they were younger and some how they end up apart. Years pass and it seems like they are leading totally different lives, well that is until they end up seeing each other again
Dylan is an ex marine and is suffering from PTSD. He needs Cassie in his life more than even he realises. He is a detective and is trying hard to do what's right.
This book has it all the drama, the suspense, the emotional heart ache and loss and all the twists and turns.
I loved how this author has written both of these characters and how she has brought them both to life and made them realistic to the reader and after everything that they have both been through I was really rooting for them both.

The story of Cassie and Dylan was great. It’s a second chance romance without unnecessary drama … The conflicts and struggles were all applicable to move the storyline in the way it needed. A lot of the book focuses on the backstory and healing process of Dylan (and what drove him and Cassie apart in the first place).
The romance/love is there throughout and spice starts after the halfway mark. And it’s good stuff, a little kinky, but not extreme. 🌶🌶🌶/5.
I love that Amanda Carol develops characters and puts a good story on the page. I enjoy details and plot in my books… if you do as well, this book is for you! -
I absolutely loved Cassie's and Dylan's story. It was a rollercoaster rider of emotions. It made me tear up and laugh. I loved his Marine Buddy's and all of their friends. I love being back in River Falls. Can't wait for the next book

Being new to Ms.Carol's work i've been looking forward to picking up her books! As soon as this one was announced it caught my eye right away. I started reading it as soon as i could and got into the Heroes of River Falls world! I so enjoyed this story!
Dylan and Cassie's journey was quick to capture my attention! As these two are brought back into each other's lives, i couldn't wait to see how everything would play out for them.
I really liked how these two had history. I was glad that i got to dig deeper with both of these characters. Whether it was things in their life, their feelings, or anything in-between, i enjoyed getting to see these two tackle things. I loved their chemistry and the way they made me feel so much!
With Saving Grace, Ms.Carol has created such a good read with realness and feels that will pull you in! I can't wait to go back and read the first installment, Guarded Souls! So looking forward to more from this author and this series!💙
*I volunteered to read and review a copy of this book from Peachy Keen Author Services / the author* -
I am a sucker for a second chance, military romance.
When they were in high school, Cassie and Dylan had planned on getting married before Dylan went to boot camp. Those plans were thrown away when Dylan shattered Cassie’s heart. Years later, Dylan is now a detective and he struggles with PTSD. He still loves Cassie, but is that enough to win her back.
I liked that this didn’t have the third act breakup (you all know what I’m talking about). Their relationship progressed, while Dylan learned to cope with his mental illness.
3/5🌶this was spicier than the first one👀. Dylan is much spicier than Dean.
GIVE MY MAN FORD A BOOK!!!! The man deserved his own love story. He should also be real and marry me.
Thank you to peachykeen and the author for this arc! -
This book is an absolute 5 star!!! The author did an amazing job on this second chance romance. She did an amazing job of showing how their pasts are affecting their everyday lives and how they are working to get passed them. The book moves at a great pace and once you start reading it, you won't want to stop. She does a great job at making everything realistic enough that you can feel like you are really part of the story.
On a side note, those spicy scene....daaaaaaamn! They are later in the book and they are goooooood! -
Sigh. This book put me in all the feels.
Dylan and Cassie were high school sweethearts, and planned to be together forever. When Dylan decided to join the Marines, he chose to sit down with Cassie's father and ask for her hand in marriage. Things didn't go as planned and they spent 8 years broken hearted. Dylan decided to come home and take a job with the local law enforcement, assuming Cassie was already married and had started her life. Little did he know what would transpire in his life the months going forward.
Trigger warning: PTSD/suicide -
The power of love
This is a wonderful second chance romance! I love Dylan and Cassie . Their story shows the power that love can have. Not only between them but the power of the love of their friends and family. Also I love that the story show family is not necessarily who we are related to but what we make it. This wad my first book by Amanda Carol and I fell in love with River Falls. I will go back and read the first book in the series and I can't wait for more. -
I knew Dylan and Cassie’s story was going to be an angsty one from the moment I read the prologue – but boy was I in for a ride!
Dyl and Cass complete each other in a way no one else can and I was rooting for them from the start.
I can’t see where Amanda takes us with the rest of the series! -
4.25 stars
Cassie and Dylan were high school sweethearts. But Dylan left to be a Marine at 18 and he broke Cassie’s heart at the same time. Now it’s been 10 years since then. And Dylan is back in town. They never got over each other and they fall in love all over again.
I started crying during the prologue of this book and I pretty much cried at least once every chapter after that. This book just made me so emotional and it was a ride to read, but one I loved.
I absolutely adore pining in books. And there was so much pining in this book and I loved every second of it. I loved how they were always in each other’s thoughts, it was just so sweet and lovely to read about.
I really loved the relationship in this book. Cassie and Dylan were just so well suited. And I loved the relationship development in this book. I just loved how they slowly but surely rebuilt their relationship, that just really worked for me.
Also, I just loved their communication so much. I loved how they easily talked to each other about everything, that just really worked for me.
One of my favourite thing in books is representation. Dylan has PTSD I absolutely loved how it was shown in this book. I loved how present it was in Dylan’s life and how it seemed to affect his every move, it was very realistic to the situation he was in and it really worked for me. I really loved this representation of PTSD and it seemed super well done to me. I also really loved how much care the author tackled this topic. Also, special mention on the emphasis this book put on Dylan getting help and therapy, I loved that so much.
Also, I just adored how much of a support Cassie was for Dylan. I loved how she was always there for him, that was just so sweet to me.
I received an ARC of this book, and this is my honest opinion. -
Saving Grace is book two in my Heroes of River Falls series. It's a second chance romance with an ex-Marine hero who is dealing with PTSD from his time over seas. It's been ten years since he last saw the love of his life Cassie Newton and she is still heartbroken over their break-up. As he spirals, Cassie realizes that she never stopped loving him & will do anything to make sure he gets the help that he needs in order to cope with his trauma.
Out of all my books, this story was the hardest to write and most emotional. There were times when I was writing certain scenes that I was crying. But the one thing I did not want to do was gloss over Dylan's PTSD. I wanted it to feel real, because it is real. Dylan represents so many service men and women who are suffering with this disorder. I personally know a few, so I knew I had to treat this with the utmost care. I hope that this book takes you on an emotional journey like it did me, and in the end, you'll be crying happy tears for Cassie & Dylan. -
Couldn't put it down. Just what I needed it to be. From continuing the story of the previous book, to the second chance romance that everyone was rooting for. Sometimes it felt dark and hopeless, and that hurt my heart. Yet there was always that bit hope, so desperately needed.
A couple moments felt a bit too easy to me, and a couple seemed a bit unnecessary when there was already so very much drama. Yet overall it came together to be a one sitting read that left me anxiously craving more. -
I loved this book and I felt every emotion while I was reading it. Dyland and Cassie were everything and you can't help but fall in love with these two. This book will rip your heart out but it will be healed by the time you finish reading it. Take a chance on this book and you won't be disappointed.
