One of my current TV show obsessions is the CW's Hart of Dixie. There's something magical about small country towns where everyone knows each other and they have these wacky parades and holiday events. Nobody else captures the charm of these small towns like Rachel Gibson. She always manages to write the best love stories that are romantic, light and witty, yet still manage to tug at your heartstrings.
Rachel Gibson once again takes us to Lovett, Texas. Rescue Me is about Sadie Hollowell and Vince Haven, who we have briefly met in Rachel's previous books (Crazy On You and Any Man of Mine). Sadie was a miracle baby, but her mother died and left a 5-year olf girl to a father who had no idea what to do with her. As a result, Sadie ends up being raised by nannies and sent to Charm School. By the time she turns 18, she leaves Lovett, Texas and only comes back to visit her father every couple of years. To say their relationship is distant is an understatement.
Now, 33-year old Sadie is back in town for her cousin's wedding. On te way into town, she sees a guy with a broken down truck on the side of the road. She decides to rescue Vince Haven, who is an ex-Navy Seal, and gives him a ride into town.
Although it's clear that both Sadie and Vince have some serious issues to deal with, it's also very clear that they have some serious chemistry between them. But Vince makes it clear that he doesn't do relationships. Since Sadie plans to stay in town for only a short while, they agree that they are the perfect candidates for a one night stand. But Sadie's father has some serious health issues, which force Sadie to stay in Lovett longer. They end up becoming friends with benefits, with more emphasis on the benefits part than the friends part. After Vince comes to Sadie's rescue a couple more times and they spend more time together, they start to also progress on the friends part. But will they let each other be truly rescued?
Although I mostly read YA books (with very few exceptions), Rachel Gibson is my all-time favorite author. I have every single one of her books, have read most of them at least twice, and have read my favorite three (Truly,Madly Yours; Tangled Up In You and It Must Be Love) at LEAST six times each. Rachel Gibson once again creates a perfect chick-lit romance book. Packed with plenty of Rachel's trademark witty dialogue and scorching hot scenes. There's even a hint towards the end of the book as to who the heroine of the next book will be, and like always, I can't wait to read it! Rachel Gibson proves why she is one of the best romance writers and she will continue to be on my automatic-read list. I'm very excited to read the next book in the Lovett, Texas series! Rescue Me is a must-read for anyone looking for a hot romance book!
5 out of 5 sparkly stars!
-While other girls went home and practiced their etiquette lessons, Sadie shucked her dress and ran wild. As a result of her mashed education, Sadie knew how to waltz, set a table, and converse with governors. She could also swear like a cowboy and spit like a ranch hand.
-He was the kind of guy who made Sadie uncomfortable. The kind who wore leather and drank beer and crushed empties on their foreheads. The kind who made her stand a little straighter. The kind she avoided like a hot fudge brownie because both were bad news for the thighs.
-"In fact, I'm afraid to raise my arms."
"Why?"
"I don't wanna fall out of my dress."
He smiled and glanced down at her out of the corners of his eyes. "I promise to catch anything that falls out."
-"Usually I'm better with my hands." His gaze slid to hers and he raised the bottle to his lips. "But you know that."
Yeah, she knew that.
-Women appreciated that and always wanted more. But not Sadie. She didn't want more, and he didn't know how he felt about that. He should be thrilled. It was perfect. She was beautiful. Interesting. Good in bed, and only wanted to use him for sex. Perfect.
So why did he feel mildly pissed?
-"When you lock everything down tight so that the pain can't get out, you also keep good stuff from getting in."
