Book Review: Rescue Me

When Deputy Sam Brooks commits to something, nothing can sway him--not just on the job but in his private life. He's the one who stuck around to take care of his mother after his father's accidental death. And he's the one--perhaps the only one--who believes Sierra Rose is the perfect girl for him. Safe, practical, and organized, she's nothing like her hippie, impulsive, bleeding-heart sister, Willow.

Willow, however, has been in love with Sam Brooks for as long as she can remember. But she wants her sister to have a happy ending. Besides, Willow has other things to focus on--namely, nabbing the job of her dreams. Best thing for her to do is to purge Sam from her heart.

Neither can predict the events that will bring them together in a fight for their lives in the forbidding wilderness of Glacier National Park. Stranded, injured, and with the winter weather closing in, Sam and Willow will have to work together to save a crew of terrified teenagers. As they fight to survive, they might just discover a new hope for love.


My Reflections:

Ah, Susan May Warren, I love you! I'm so glad this book came out so close to the first titled "Wild Montana Skies" in the Montana Rescue series.

Action packed, emotionally charged and extremely intense are words I would use to describe Warren's "Rescue Me". This is the second book in a row that has a myriad of characters to account for. I think I am getting the hang of it though..just go with it.

Layers upon layers of life are contained in the pages of this novel, it's far too much for me to summarize neatly. But messy life is real and Warren has a gift for painting her characters with the perfect mix of complicated situations.

Deputy Sam Brooks is steadfast and logical, too bad matters of the heart are not as easy to detangle.
Is Sierra ready for a serious relationship and can his heart catch up where his head is leading?

Willow the perfect name for this character, passionate and faithful to a fault. Fading into the background. Can Willow put her real feelings aside and let love pass her by?

Will brothers Sam and Pete Brooks be able to heal from the family tragedy that has severed their relationship? Or will the chasm between them be just too much to forge?

This book is akin to a waterfall, one chapter tumbles down into the next careening you forward over the edge of the last page until you gasp for air finding yourself already fully submerged. Hopefully, the next two books will be released just as quickly, I have been left adrift, thinking on this plot well after it has concluded.

If you are craving a book where nature rules and the untamed wilderness is at battle with man, look no further, this one has that and so much more.
