Description

A sex trafficking victim and a police officer walk into a gas station... it sounds like a sick joke. Or maybe, just maybe, it'll be the best thing to ever happen to them. Huxley "Huck" Scott just wants a damn cup of coffee. He has too much to deal with already between his demotion to patrol officer, his struggle with his sobriety, and his lingering survivor's guilt. The last thing he needs is another complication. And a complication is exactly what Olly will be. Oliver "Olly" Bradford just wants his ride to hurry the hell up. He has too much to deal with already between the man who he once loved now selling his body without his permission, the latest beating from a not so friendly "client," and the ever-present fear that tomorrow will be the day he dies. The last thing he needs is another complication. And a complication is exactly what Huck will be. When their two worlds collide at the all-hour gas station in town, nothing is safe anymore. After a brutal assault, Olly is placed under police protection in Huck's own house. Olly works with Huck and the authorities to try and take down the men who have ruined his life. There are lives on the line, one of them the man Olly considers his brother. Huck is trying desperately to rebuild his career. Olly is trying desperately to rebuild himself. Love is the last thing that should be on their minds. Except, both of them have finally figured out how to feel safe again, and that's a hard thing to let go. This book is a m/m romance that is rated Explicit and intended for mature audiences (+18) Content Warning: This book contains scenes that some might find triggering and/or disturbing, as well as explicit sex scenes between the main characters (Huck/Olly). This book deals with heavy topics including, but not limited to, sexual assault of minors and adults, forced prostitution, and physical violence. Some scenes containing sexual assault are depicted in graphic detail. None of the dark material in this novel is glossed over, as I believe it is important to Olly and all other survivors that their stories, no matter how uncomfortable, be heard. Please be prepared and practice self-care when reading Olly’s story. there is no violence between the main characters This book is the first in a series of 3. It is the end of Huck and Olly's story, and can be read as a standalone as far as their romance is concerned. The underlying plot of the novel will be continued in books 2 and 3 with other romantic relationships. The ending of the series is a HEA. Read more

  • An emotional story 100% worth the 700 pages
🤍💙 Book Review 💙🤍 Title: Safe Author: Taylor McNiff Pages: 685 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (All of the stars) ~ The story starts where a sex trafficking victim, Olly, and a recovering alcoholic detective, Huck, paths cross. What follows is a mix of emotional, difficult, angsty perfection. ~ This book was so beautiful and I enjoyed every second of reading it. I cried, I sobbed, I screamed, I ranted (sorry @leereadsalittle who had to deal with my VN notes) and I melted during the soft scenes. This book took me on an emotional journey and I'm 100% HERE for it. The story is mostly focused on the relationship between Olly and Huck and their different emotional journeys. Of course there are scenes that focus on the series overarching plot and the suspense plot, but it is definitely not the main focus of the book. The emotional journeys of both characters feel extremely authentic and realistic to the different characters and their experiences. The internal emotional conflict feels real and not over-dramatic simply to have conflict. Further, we all know how I feel about long romance books (not a fan) however this almost 700 page book read like a 300 something page book, in the best way. The pacing was perfect for the storyline without anything feeling like a filler. I was never bored and never thought to myself - yoh this could've been left out. Olly is a breath of fresh air and I adored him as a character. He is so strong, while still dealing with the trauma of his past and the danger of his present. All of this and he is still kind, caring and absolutely adorable. Huck was a really fun character to read and I enjoyed that he wasn't the perfect hero. He had his own problems and difficulties to work through. It's the emotional turmoil that causes conflict between the characters and I loved it - because it's not easy for two broken people to be in a relationship. However eventual good communication and absolute commitment to each other made for the perfect redemption arc of their relationship. ~ if you're looking for an emotional story, this is definitely the one for you. As always check the TW/CW and be safe. ~ ... show more

  • Not for the faint of heart
This starts out dark. I didn't look to see if there were trigger warnings, but I'm certain they would warrant an entire chapter of their own. Still, this is a well written book and I pushed through to the inevitable happy ending. I'm on to the second novel in the series, so there's that.

  • Slayed me
Wow. This read. It wrecked me and put me back together again. So much feeling. It’s excruciatingly tragic, and doesn’t hold back on – quite honestly – sickening details. But there’s also hope and love and a happy ending. So, Oliver – Olly – is a victim of sex trafficking, while Huxley Scott – Huck – is a police officer. The two meet during Huck’s patrol one night, and afterwards Huck can’t get Olly off his mind. It’s apparent to Huck that Olly’s trapped in a dangerous situation, and Huck wants to help. But Olly doesn’t trust easily and is reluctant to reveal the truth to Huck. Meanwhile, Olly’s circumstances are growing more dire and Huck fears that Olly’s running out of time. What’s so captivating, and simultaneously horrible, is that Olly is so deeply immersed in the nightmare of his life that he’s come to accept he’ll never find a way out. The abuse and rapes are his normal, and his captor and pimp Tyler is someone he feels a twisted kind of love for. Or rather, he used to before Tyler turned him into a commodity, and now he vacillates between fear and misplaced gratitude. It’s very black and white in the eyes of the reader, but in Olly’s mind everything is shades of grey. When Huck and Olly meet, Olly has more or less given up. He doesn’t expect to live for very long and doesn’t have the strength or will to fight it. Also, after seeing only the absolute worst of humankind for years, he can’t trust Huck and his intent. Huck has to work hard and patiently to gain Olly’s trust. The first part of the story was honestly both heart-wrenching and nauseating. Because McNiff doesn’t shy away from describing the abuse Olly is put through – in detail. And then, when Olly finally can get away physically from his captors, the trauma of years of inhuman treatment comes back with a vengeance. Olly’s been numb, but once in a safe place he’s still forced to re-live his traumatic past if he ever wants to be able to get past them. And Huck. He’s painfully attracted to Olly. But for obvious reasons he fights the attraction to not scare Olly, or worse, make Olly believe he owes Huck anything for helping him escape. Olly too is drawn to Huck, but they keep misunderstanding each other. And that’s actually one of my pet peeves. MCs living in their heads too much, not talking to each other and choosing instead to misinterpret the other’s intent. (Fabricated drama anyone?) And while I thought this was annoying, it didn’t bother me so much that it lowered my overall opinion of the read. Another aspect of the story, as if Olly’s struggles weren’t enough, is the fact that Huck is a recovering alcoholic. And he has a hard time with it. I can’t say I thought that was the most interesting part of the read, but I see the importance of it in relation to the overall story. Namely that even if Huck was Olly’s “saviour”, he wasn’t perfect by any means, but struggling with his own demons. Meaning he couldn’t be there for Olly 24-7. The one thing that was less than brilliantly portrayed is, in my opinion, the police investigation of the sex trafficking ring. I fully understand that there wasn’t really space to describe such an operation fully in this story. After all, it’s not a police procedural, the focus is on Olly’s and Huck’s relationship and Olly’s (and Huck’s) healing. But still, the parts that were included didn’t appear credible, and left me with a sense that McNiff just hadn’t done enough research on the matter. All things considered, the depth of emotion in this story is extraordinary. The darkness and desolation that’s eventually replaced by joy and hope. It’s nothing but enthralling. 5 stars. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • Wow this book
This book deals with a super heavy topic and I really feel think the author did really well bringing it forward. There needs to be more awareness brought forward. With that being said I really liked this story. I absolutely loved Olly. Who wouldn't? Everything he went through and all that Huck did for him. Their love was pure and I just loved it. The side characters were amazing. I really adored Fitz and Ash. I'm looking forward to reading the next book. This book was really good, long and full of raw emotion. ... show more

  • Obsessed
I’m obsessed with this book. It was spectacularly well written with characters that will stay with me for a long time. One of my new faves ever. I can’t even describe how this book made me feel. It was just so REAL. And poignant and gorgeous. I couldn’t put it down.
