Haunted by his years at war, Boston paramedic Gael Dominic spends his time saving other people's lives. An empty house, a single friend, and living at work, Gael is not content with his existence, but he's close. Gael was expecting his overnight shift on Thanksgiving to be the same as always - manic crowds, heart attacks...until catastrophe strikes, and Boston's streets run with blood.
On the run from an abusive and politically powerful father, Silas has been on the cold, mean streets of Boston for days, injured, hungry and alone. When he wakes up in the middle of a nightmare, he expects to die in the same alley he was calling home.
Brought together by tragedy, Silas and Gael can't resist their attraction. Gael may have saved Silas, but it's his alleyway angel who brings Gael back to life.
As Christmas approaches, Silas and Gael learn how to love, despite their pasts. And as Silas' past closes in, Gael learns the greatest gift he could ever give isn't something bought in a store, but freely given from the heart.
Warning: Mature content. Violence. Male/Male sexual contact.

Where does Saving Silas rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's in the middle of the pack. I love the performance by narrator Derrick McClain, however found the character evolution somewhat lacking.If you’ve listened to books by SJ Himes before, how does this one compare?
This is my first book from this author. I like that although Gael 'saved" Silas, Silas was not portrayed as week or unappreciative. The instant attraction between the two men was plausible, and definitely a feel good vibe. I would have like to have seen more depth from Silas and Gael as individuals, more of their personal growth throughout the story.What about Derrick McClain’s performance did you like?
His ability to vividly portray the emotions and total feel of the scenes from the perspective of the characters. Derrick gives each character an individuality as far as tone, intonation, and dialect when it comes to their voices. I felt each character in this story was given a spot-on voice - especially his voice for Gael. This adds incredible nuance to an already good story.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I always cringe about the subject of abuse - particularly by a parent. Happy that Silas had the strength to escape and to accept the help and love of a good man.Any additional comments?
I kept waiting of a bit more depth from Silas - his character could have had a lot more conflict going on, with his history and all. It seemed as though his emotions and actions were being assigned to him at times, rather than percolating, being assessed, and then acted upon.Excellent narration/ Solid action/romance theme

What made the experience of listening to Saving Silas the most enjoyable?
I had love this story when I read it back in December and now with the audiobook it just made the story so much better. Gael and Silas I feel are made for each other. With Gael wanting to save Silas from his father just my heart want to burst. Then with Derrick McClain brings the characters alive. I thought I love this story before. Well he made me love it more. This is definitely a story that needs to be heard.Such a cute and sweet story with a great narrator.

Third-person POV.
This was the first book by SJ Himes that I've ever read or listened to and was very pleased. Likewise, I've not listened to Derrick McLain prior to this, but will be looking for more from both of them.
Gael was a strong lead. A combat medic veteran, now paramedic, he still suffered PTSD episodes a decade after returning stateside after becoming injured in the line of duty.
Silas suffered an abusive upbringing at the hands of an influential city figurehead, which only became worse when he came out to his parents. Fearing for his life, he ran with only the clothes on his back, despite it being late November in Boston.
An event of terrible violence brought the two men together, but something deeper connected them immediately, which was a good thing, because Silas was going to need a protector!
Great story, plenty of dynamics. The characters interacted well, dialogue was good. The conflicts were multi-tiered, but nothing was left unresolved. Predictability was little to none. The conclusion is solid enough, with an implied HEA.
Although the story did take place during the holidays, I would not necessarily bill it as a Holiday Novella. It had a dose of Romantic Suspense, plus a heaping of Sweet and Sexy.
