Review: Patrick's Savior

Patrick's Savior by Nic Starr
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Patrick needs a place to live after he’s attracted the unwanted attention from his roommate’s boyfriend. It so happens that his friend Charlie knows of someone who needs a new roommate. And if there is an attraction there, so much the better. Put Patrick is the shy, nerdy, insecure type and may not ever act on his attraction to Simon. They’ve been living together for six months now and nothing happened.

Simon has an overriding need to help and protect others. When Charlie comes to him with Patrick’s problem with his current living situation, of course he’s going to help. And if he wants to take it farther than just roommates, so much the better. But he’s waiting for Patrick to give him a sign that he wants to take it further too.

Though all of the slow build to their relationship, both are dealing with their pasts. Patrick now has a stalker, someone who is leaving love letters in his bedroom. Things escalate from there. (And yes, I figured out who the stalker was fairly early in the story) Simon has a tragedy in his past, of the one he couldn’t save with his paramedic training. He thinks he’s dealt with it and is past it, but it does still haunt him. It also feeds into his need to save everyone else.


Another enjoyable story in the Heroes series. It has the slow burn to Patrick’s and Simon’s HEA. And the intrigue of the stalker. And although this is book three, it can be read as a standalone. But definitely better if you have read the other two. You’ll have a better understanding of the other characters and their relationships.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
