Saving Alexander Kindle Edition

Punishing himself for a horrific past that is not his fault, bestselling author Alexander Montgomery seeks redemption and love—and perhaps he will find it.

Famous author though he may be, Alexander Montgomery is not someone you take home to meet your mother. Seriously flawed, damaged by a horrific past, he’s trying hard to claw his way back to normality. But how can anyone respect what he truly is? His therapy involves regular sessions at Study in Scarlet, an exclusive S&M club.

Then comes Sage. Tall, with black hair and blue eyes, an up-and-coming actor with impossible charm and boy-next-door good looks, he’s the perfect choice to play the leading man in a TV adaptation of Alex’s latest best-seller. Even more, he is a man you introduce to your family. Which Alex would do—if he weren’t taken by another man who offers the punishments Alex prays will wipe away the past and make him the person he wants to be. Yet, perhaps there is another path to redemption. If only the solution would reach out and touch him.

Product description

About the Author

Sue Mac Nicol was born in Leeds, Yorkshire, in the United Kingdom. At the age of eight, her family moved to Johannesburg, South Africa where she stayed for nearly thirty years before arriving back in the UK in December 2000. She has written nine novels, two novellas and a screenplay since February 2012 and clearly believes in keeping herself busy. She has found herself wanting to stay in the genre that is M/M Romance so more can definitely be expected. Sue is a member of Romance Writers of America and Romantic Novelists Association in the UK. She is also a member of a rather unique writing group, called the Talliston Writer's Circle, which in itself has a story all of its own to tell and lives in the rural village of Bocking, in Essex, with her family. Her plan is to keep writing as long as her muse sits upon her shoulder. Her dream is to one day make enough money to give up the day job and get that big old house in the English countryside overlooking a river, where she can write all day and continue to indulge her passion for telling stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read..
Reviewed in Australia on 4 January 2017

Okay first up I gotta say the book tittle and blurb kept niggling on my mind to buy and read. So I just gave in, I'm so glad I did. Alexander has been through so much in life, as the author said Alex needs to be loved and I'd completely agree after reading this..
Alexander is in a B/S relationship with Eric at a club to give him what he needs once a week, but Alex still feels the hole within himself.
Christopher Sage aka Sage just got news he's got a part in a production of a TV series which has him excited about. Especially when he's the main lead roll, made is day. Sage meets Alex when they were introduced at his agents office, Alex being the author of the fabulous book being made into film.
My heart cried for Alexander, I prayed he would be alright.. Things don't go smoothly especially when theirs someone out there plotting to hurt them. This is a must read book..I loved it..

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I hadn't Saved Alexander for so long before finding this gem
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 June 2016

I am going to start by saying that this is the very first book I have read by Susan Mac Nicol, and I doubt it will be the last. I was pulled toward this book after seeing a teaser on Facebook and it certainly grabbed my attention.

The story starts in a dark place for Alexander (Alex) and I started wondering just what he was involved in, and how it would play out. Then in walks Christopher Sage, who is known as Sage and I fell for them both. Separately each man has his own issues to deal with, but put them together and you have a fantastic combination which just works.

Of course, things are complicated, but why would we want an easy ride? Alex has his own demons to contend with, and so many skeletons in his closet, he needs new one to house them. But Sage’s caring and compassionate side shone through for me, making me believe every word, touch, glance would make Alex’s world better, even when he doubted it himself.

The dynamic between these two worked, and it felt so natural even though Alex fought against it, at times I wanted to shake him, but I totally understand his reasons, so I can forgive him :-)

There is an underlying mystery threaded through this story which I tended to forget as I was too enthralled by these two men, then I had my thoughts, and it turned out my sneaky suspicion which I’d dismissed was right.

I loved this book, the emotions were real and well thought out, the pace was good and I really enjoyed getting to know these two, I just wish here was more to come from them.

4.0 out of 5 stars At first I had expected a little different....
Reviewed in Germany on 6 July 2015

I liked it very well. At first I had expected a little different, but the way it was, it appears correct. Bit by bit you get to know the history of Alexander, and more and more one can understand how it got there. Fascinating how he copes with his life. The story of Eric is described in detail at first, but somehow he is then irrelevant, although he is still very important to the story. First we read even what he thinks and then you know nothing of him directly. Sage is sensitive and understanding, yet easy angry and overreacting. When the Safe Word falls, I would have wished that he fights more, but rules are rules? gut wrenching! But the story goes thankfully on. And the elucidation of the whole drama is also very well written. The final like a fairy tale;)

5.0 out of 5 stars Saving Alexander !
Reviewed in the United States on 24 November 2013

This is my first book by this author, I must say , pure joy of reading the story. Saving Alexander is a book about needing to understand that wrong things can be better with the right person and with openness. Alexander had a terrible life experience and his way of coping with it was through S & M ( nothing wrong about it) but Alex went to the extreme because He didn't have , as per him, other ways to cope with the past. Sage is an actor that after auditioning for a TV show series written after Alexander's books is there and ready to work. They become friends , both struggling with desire. Finally they decide to start a relationship but under certain conditions. Sage is extremely patient and does everything He can to help Alexander. After a horrible incident and Alexander's fears resurfacing , the relationship falters. There are a lot external things also happening and influencing them. Alexander is a strong man and decides to ask for Sage's forgiveness. They are back together not without incident.
The book is well written , the story is a tale that will make you cry, laugh but most of all will show you , no matter what you can be loved.
The secondary characters are well done and add a lot to the story.
Saving Alexander is a book that needs to be read and enjoyed.

My Review:
This is a tough book...mainly because Alexander is a tough character to take. He's had a hard life that involved a horrible trauma when he was 17 yo. He's never recovered completely from that and is dealing with it the best that he can, but he's still not whole. Part of what makes him feel close to that is regular BDSM sessions with a hired Dom. He knows though that this means he will never be able to have a normal relationship and for the most part he can deal with that....until he meets Sage.

Sage truly has no idea what he's getting into when he gets involved with Alex, but by the time he does know, his heart is already involved too deeply to step away. Sage is in a tough spot...having to trust Alexander when Alex is involved with someone else...even if it is a form of therapy. There aren't many who would be able to stand by with that going on.

Like I said, this is not an easy book. It's painful to read how hard this relationship is for both these guys. They are good together for the most part but there are moments of such intense emotional pain for them. Alex hates what he has to put Sage through and would really rather walk away than do that to him, but Sage insists that Alex is worth it even through all the pain.

There's also a bit of a suspense story line throughout the book. That part of the story wasn't as good to me (I thought it could have been ramped up a bit more to really make it exciting), but it provided some extra drama for the guys which worked in the story line. And there is a lot going on here....the filming, Alex's writing, Alex's other relationship, suspicious criminal activity, old mental scars for Alex, Sage's family and health issues, and the evolving relationship between the guys.

For me, the second half of the book made the read for me. For some reason, it took me a bit to get into the story and that probably was because the story line with Eric was so off-putting to me personally. It was very interesting though with a definite psychological thriller edge to it that I always enjoy. I'll definitely be willing to read more by this author in the future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Angsty
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 August 2014

I have to stop reading books where people are abused - it makes my gut clench and I think about it constantly, but then that may be because the story is so very addictive. This was a good story, usual plot, starts out nice, you're introduced to the characters then something bad happens, there is angst and then it's overcome and we have a HEA. The perfect formula, but then you have to fluff it out. The fluffing in this was good, it didn't have any great surprises but I did find it a very compulsive read. I really like a story set in the UK as there are far more authors from the US and Sue Mac Nichol makes a pleasant change.
