Beloved by Corinne Michaels

Beloved (Salvation, #1)

by Corinne Michaels

Men suck.

They break you. Leave you. Take everything until there's nothing left. And frankly, I'm done allowing them to make me feel insignificant. So, forget men. I'll just throw myself into my job, because at least that never fails me.

Jackson has other plans, though. I refuse to be impressed by his perfect body, the cute dimple on his cheek, or the rugged stubble on his face. Jackson Cole can be resisted.

But, I'm only fooling myself.

He's going to wear me down. I can feel it. In the end he'll prove that once again, I'm no one's beloved.

When you look at the genres for this book, it's listed as romance and military fiction. I've never read military fiction before, and I didn't really think it'd be for me. What I came to realize while reading this book, was that it was more or less a regular romance novel with just a little military thrown in there. Don't let the genre throw you off! I do expect more military things in the next book though.

Speaking of the next book, this book ends on a cliffhanger. I was finishing it up at night, at 1am to be exact, when the book ended with a huge cliffhanger. I got so annoyed that I could't go to sleep, and so I went and downloaded the sample of book two, just to see what would happen next. I of course went and bought the book the next day.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the book at the beginning, it felt more like a mediocre book to me. It was a bit slow, and I'm not really into the whole "girl meets billionaire boss" trope. However, it got better towards the end and I came to really enjoy it. I loved how Jackson treated Catherine, and I loved Jackson's friends.
I don't feel like we saw the full potential of Catherine, she didn't come as far as I was expecting, but I enjoyed her journey.

I was thinking this would be a two star read for me, but then the ending happened. The ending you guys!!! Be prepared and have the next book lined up already - you can thank me later ;)
