Salvage Book One (Salvage Duet #1)
by Tiffany Aleman
Stereotypical trailer trash. That’s how people saw me. I’m Karmen Butler, the girl everyone teased, tortured, pranked—bullied.
After graduating high school, I left my shithole of a town behind with no intentions of ever returning. My dreams were within my grasp. Or so I thought…
Luck. That’s what was on his side. Brayden Stephens was on top of the world and the biggest prick of all. At least that’s how I remember him. Then he lost it all. His vices took over and now he’s a washed-up has-been with a cocky smirk and arrogant attitude.
Valued. That was how he made me feel. One night changed everything for us. In an instant I was lost to his touch, his voice. Everything about him captivated me.
Against my better judgment, I let him in. I let him see the real me. Since he’d walked into my office, he’d been trying to redeem himself of his past mistakes.
Glimpses of a love and life I’d never known before were all he had given me. Now he’s done it, the one thing he said he wouldn’t. He’s broken me. AGAIN.
Excuses are what I was fed. The truth restrained him, bound him to his past, and now, I’m left to deal with the aftermath.
Is there anything left to SALVAGE?
I don’t know…
You tell me.

Review By Gia:
Karmen is a great, strong character. She was bullied through high school and wanted nothing more than to flee her town. She got a break and went to college. When her mother passed she came home to help her father and she stayed. Her father passed away too but she still stayed in the town and has a job that she liked but it wasn't her dream.
Brayden stood by and watched as his friend Drew picked on and made fun of Karmen is high school. Brayden played in the NFL and was on the top of his world when injury sidelined him. He's back in town and is now working for Karmen.
Karmen is amazing. She hasn't forgotten about high school but she is willing to open herself up and give Brayden a second chance. There is more to Brayden then a spoiler rich kid. His childhood although was not as good as it seemed. Brayden and Karmen start off as co workers, then friends, then something more.
They have a lot of stuff to deal with. When tragedy strikes again, it might be to much for their fragile realtionship to handle. Salvage is a great emotional roller coaster of a read. I can't believe it ended leaving me hanging like that. I can't wait to read the next one.
