Rescue Me
3.5 Stars

Series note: Book #1 in the Military Men series as well as book #3 in the Lovett, Texas series. This is a direct continuation of book #2 in Lovett, Texas although much of the story takes place on the road.

An entertaining romance although the on-the-run plot could have been better developed.

Stella and Beau's opposites attract romance is fun, and the road-trip trope provides a good backdrop for it. She is cute, adorable and looking for "the one" while he is stoic and broody with commitment issues. They have great chemistry and the conflict at the end is believable and well-established by their individual backstories.

Nevertheless, Gibson lays the basic foundation for an intense and suspenseful chase scenario involving the Russian mafia that never fully materializes, which is disappointing.

Overall, this is an enjoyable read recommended for fans of Rachel Gibson, but there are better books for readers new to her works, such as Sex, Lies and Online Dating or Simply Irresistible. ( )

Boring. Enough said. ( )

Has the Rachel Gibson humor, quirkiness, and heart. Good chemistry between leads but storyline felt rushed. I liked it but strangely feel unsatisfied about the ending. ( )

This is a really good beach read if you want to lose yourself in a mindless story that moves quickly about two people that shouldn't be together fall in love. There were a few side stories that could have happened but other than that it was a fun read for a Saturday. ( )

We're back in Lovett, Texas - or at least on our way. Beau is trying to get Stella to Texas to meet her sister Sadie. Stella is trying to stay alive. This is a fun sexy story that takes us on that journey. I highly recommend this book!! ( )
