Oh, my!!! A handsome army ranger with a sordid past and an adorable furry sidekick stumble across a saucy red-head running from her troubles in the middle of rural Idaho – it’s a recipe for a hot summer sizzler! A fan of Dixie Lee Brown’s romantic suspense novels, I’ve read them all; but Rescued by the Ranger is my new fav!
On leave from a devastating injury while serving in Iraq, army ranger Garrett Harding uncovers a disturbing letter from his aunt - his father, Senator Harding, hid the fact that his estranged mother, Amanda Harding, had passed away. Determined to find out why his mother had abandoned him and his brother Luke when they were children, Garrett and his faithful German shepherd Cowboy set off to his mother’s ranch, the Cougar Ridge Lodge, in the middle of Idaho to finally put his past to rest. He didn’t count on meeting a fiery red-head with a sharp tongue and a grudge so deep he wants nothing more than to convince her he isn’t the heartless man she thinks he is.
As one of the Cougar Ridge staff, Rachel wants nothing to do with Garrett when he arrives - she’ll never forgive any Harding for the pain and anguish that they caused Amanda all those years, she doesn’t care one bit if the sexy, brooding man DID step in to save her from the local scum! However, there’s something about this ranger – she feels safe when he’s with her – and when her own troubles come to light, Garret resolves to help Rachel stop running from her past and finally face her demons while dealing with his own twisted family history.
From the beginning of Rescued by the Ranger, the action jumps off the page, and you feel the angst of Garrett and Rachel when their paths cross for the first time at the Cougar Ridge Watering Hole. The thing I like most about Dixie’s books is her character development. Her heroes are all alpha and very sexy with a sense of chivalry that makes us women swoon. And, her heroines are sassy and tough -complementing her alpha males perfectly. Rachel’s fierce wit and Garrett’s endearing sense of honor drew me in immediately, and the sexual tension and chemistry between them is palpable from the first page. You find yourself cheering for them all the way through. And, adding in a fiercely protective sidekick like Cowboy gave Garrett a definite likability from the start. Rescued by the Ranger has the perfect amount of spice and suspense with an HEA to die for, and I can’t wait to see if this book leads into another series!

OH MY GOODNESS, AMAZING! I absolutely loved Rescued By The Ranger by Dixie Lee Brown. I had a rough time with the beginning, and a lot of that stemmed from heroine, Rachel Maguire.
She totally rubbed me the wrong way, and the reason was she feared for Garrett Harding life. There were times I wanted to shake and tell her "He's an Army Ranger they just don't let any guy be a Ranger." So, you could see my frustration. It was good portion of the story that I just wanted to smack her upside her head. That wasn't the only reason I had a hard time with Rachel, the other reason was she wasn't willing to forgive Garrett for something he didn't know about. Basically, she formed an opinion that he was a selfish jerk. The poor guy had to prove to her that he was a good guy. She didn't make it easy.

Now you are wondering why I loved this story when I couldn't stand Rachel. Excellent question. It was Garrett and his pal Cowboy, they truly won me over. Also the last six chapters had my heart pounding. Garrett and Cowboy showed Rachel that they can be their for her and anyone else that needed him.

So, for the majority of the story we had Garrett trying to prove to Rachel that nothing bad is going to happen and she needed to trust him. Trust is not an easy commodity for Rachel to give, and its a good portion of the story for her to give it to Garrett. Once we hit the last six chapters, talk about a twist in the story. I didn't expect to see the stalker. An excellent twist to the story. We know that their is a stalker in the story, but it's not who would expect to be. I was kind of shocked. Those last chapters really had my heart pounding. The big lead to the end was just amazing. Definitely worth the read.

Rescued By The Ranger is definitely worth a looking into. Yes, I did have issues with Rachel and I struggle with her character. However, the story is just amazing. I love the interaction between Garrett and Rachel, because she didn't easy up on Garrett. When she was dishing him crap, he took it like a standup guy, because he could understand where she was coming from and he wanted to prove her that he was good guy. I hope we get a story for Garrett's brother and possibly a few other characters more.

Another fabulous read by Dixie Brown. She had me by page one. I don’t read much romantic suspense, but I’ll read Dixie any day of the week. What makes her different are her characters and the heart she pours into every page. Her characters feel like real people and the imagery is well drawn, the emotion realistic and heart-tugging. So that I don’t feel like I’m lost in a plot, but lost in their world. It pulls me in and I forget I’m reading.

Rescued by the Ranger is so far my favorite of hers. P ...more

Garrett and his pooch are good people, "man and dog both trailed her now. “That’s because I told him to stay with you.

Ms. Brown always delivers heart pumping suspense, interesting characters and steamy romance. With Rescued by the Ranger she gives us all that and more, adding a healthy dollop of heart with the engaging relationship between Garrett and Cowboy. Throw in an intriguing cast of background characters and I’m hoping this is just the first story in a future series.

I fell in love with Garrett, an Army Ranger with both physical and emotional wounds, the latter from his mother’s disappearance from his life when he was five. He’s got a big heart, though, and his relationship with his canine partner, Cowboy, is one of the highlights of the book. I like Rachel a lot, too, especially for her courage and for her loyalty to her friends and employers, Peg and Amanda (recently deceased.) But I was a more than a bit annoyed with her for jumping to conclusions – very negative ones – about Garrett, and then sticking stubbornly to them in the face of mounting evidence that he isn’t the coldhearted beast she believes him to be. I understand why she dislikes and distrusts him initially, because it stems from that loyalty I so admire, but her refusal to even ask the man why he acted (or rather didn’t) the way he did came across as more than a little immature. In her position, it would have been the first question out of my mouth! Then again, Garrett acts immaturely at least once, too – though to his credit, he comes to his senses pretty quickly.

Despite Rachel’s deep-seated reservations about Garrett, there’s a strong physical and emotional attraction between the two. The threats to Rachel’s safety mean that their relationship actually progresses fairly quickly in real-life terms, though it takes about half the book before she completely relents in her attitude toward him.

The suspense and romance are balanced pretty well, and I only had a few complaints on the mystery-suspense side of things. The first is that the main villain, Rachel’s stalker (whom I did suspect from pretty early on), used two things I think would have been hard for him to acquire, let alone know how to use properly. (I can’t say more without spoilers.) The bigger issue is that, having built the tension to a real fever-pitch, Brown resolves it in a matter of moments. I was expecting a much bigger or more protracted showdown, and instead it was almost a “blink and you’ve missed it” resolution. But that was only a minor detraction from a book which otherwise kept me turning the pages and reading far into the night.

One final note: There are hints that there might be a follow-up book about Garrett’s brother Luke – a Navy SEAL – and one of Rachel’s closest friends. If so, I’m definitely on board to read it!

FTC disclosure: I received a review copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are entirely my own.

Garret and his dog both come home as wounded warriors but Garrets wounds stem further then a bloodied deployment. Bringing his dog home so both of them could heal, he discovered his father’s betrayal and ventured off to a mountain town to find the truth. Arriving to find the life of a mother he never knew, he also found Rachel. Their meeting was dangerous from the start and introduced Garrets big, sexy alpha male side when he stepped into her bar and helped Rachel out of a bind that could have ended with her being abducted. Her appreciation doesn’t last long, there relationship taking a nose dive once she finds out who he is.
Garrets mother was an important person in Rachel’s life. She heard many stories about the two boys who abandoned their mom, leaving her broken hearted until the day she died. Rachel was ticked off that he had the balls to show up now that her friend was gone considering she spent most of her life hoping her sons would come back to her. There wasn’t a filter in the world that could stop Rachel from voicing her distaste for this guy and telling him to take a hike. Fortunately for her he didn’t listen.
The reason, Rachel was in trouble and hiding from a past that was slowly sneaking up on her. Although it could cost her a life she had come to love, her guilt at putting the people around her in danger caused her to run away from the only family she had. What she didn’t count on was Garret who followed her, wanting to help even when she continued to run.
I have to admit that I didn’t like Rachel very much at first. I can’t put my finger on it, it was just something that rubbed me the wrong way. I almost thought Garret was a little too good for her. She seemed so petty and quick to judge despite her own issues. What turned it around for me was Garret. His undeniable attraction to her as well as his devotion to help her at all cost made me stick it out and I’m glad I did. I slowly realized that Rachel was damaged goods just like Garret but for different reasons. Those reasons made her a hard woman and what I thought was bitchy, turned out to be passion. She was passionately loyal and passionately protective of the people she cared about. That passion also took this story on a wild ride as she constantly ran from her feelings and her problems.
Ultimately, this story ended perfectly. The unexpected plot twists towards the end kept me screaming at the pages for Rachel to get her shit together and stop being so hard headed. I was happy when she finally listened to my whiny self and claimed that sexy man who saved her ass more than once through the entire story. I am such a sucker for happy endings and this one made me happy. I truly love the way this author writes and look forward to more from her.

When Garrett finds out his father has been hiding the truth about his mother most of his life, he takes off on a road trip to get some answers. At the arrival to the resort, that his deceased mother owned with her sister, he meets a feisty Rachel, who is not afraid to step into a fight. It is obvious Rachel has some secrets, and is not ready to part with them to a total stranger.
The family drama in the story, from Garrett's mom and dad, the addiction, the past events, the half truths, and lies, the truth is revealed to a certain extent. It is painful, the hurt and resentment is deep, the lies have made an impact during the lifetime, Garrett and his brother Luke have some work to do, to find out the truth, what to believe in, and where to go from here.
While trying to find out what really happen to his mother, Garrett is enticed by the beautiful Rachel. The troubles seem to hunt her, and Garrett is more than ready to help her, protect her, and keep her safe.
Garrett is an honest, loyal, honorable, man with integrity. He is easy to like and admire, his dog, Cowboy, is just adorable. Rachel is a bit prickly, hiding from a crazy stalker for ten years has taken its toll, and trust doesn't come easy to her. She has her moments of light and fun, but mostly she carries the weight of the world with her, and is intense, understandably. But Garrett sees her as she is, her true self, and is falling hard for her, willing to do anything to keep her safe, and giving them a chance at a future together. And he has to fight for every step of the way for her and for her affections.
The danger, Rachel lives with is a continues strain on her, for ten years now. The danger is constant, looking over her shoulder tiresome, but to survive, that is what she has to do. And now her stalker, Jeremy, is right on her heels, and the hunt is on. It is scary, the fight against him is not just a mental battle, but this time he gets close enough for physical terror, as well. No one is safe, the race against time is on, and there's no much time on the clock.
I really hope there's a series coming out of this, since there are several things I am still wondering about, like how about Luke, Garrett's brother?!
The story is well written, interesting twists in the plot, lots of intriguing characters, and a dog you will fall in love with
