I read so much that I really appreciate when authors make their characters unusual. The heroine here was a genius with poor social skills. Perhaps she was on the aspergers scale somewhere. Anyway she was enjoyable to read about. The hero was a good guy struggling to adjust to losing an arm in the middle east somewhere. Their relationship was sweet and fun to read. The only thing that bothered me was the amount of times that someone had someone else's back. I hate that expression probably from the amount of times I had to read it in a Kristen Ashley book. So it looks like this author had a long backlist so I'll probably give her another try. ( ) This story was different in that Bryn was a person that didn't do very well in social situations as she is blunt and full of details on many many subjects but she is perfect for Fish. I really enjoyed her story because she was so different from most of the women in this series. Fish is still dealing with the lost of his hand and can't handle being around people. But what Bryn thinks is that he needs her to help him navigate thru social situations and while she isn't expecting a romance, she just wants to help. Rescuing Bryn brings us the story of Dane, aka Fish, a former soldier who lost his arm in battle, and Bryn, a woman on the Autism Spectrum living her life in the wilds of Idaho. These two have very little in common which makes the relationship even more interesting! Dane has come to the middle nowhere (aka Idaho) to try and get himself together. He is struggling with PTSD and other issues after losing his arm. His friend and savior, Truck, keeps in touch via phone but is worried about Dane. Then, when grocery shopping one evening, he notices Bryn. Bryn has ASD and while she is brilliant and has a couple degrees in very advanced fields of math and science, she struggles with social aspects of society. She is fascinated by Dane, but he is a little touchy when he realizes her attempts to help him. They don't have a good first meeting but I think it was perfect and believable. You really can see the struggle Dane has with normal tasks, and you can see the struggle Bryn has with people. As they get to know each other better, you begin to see two very fascinating people! Dane is patient and supportive of Bryn, even though he doesn't always understand her obsessions. Bryn is protective and supportive of Dane without making him feel like a freak. Its an odd relationship on the outside, but its perfect! There is a small bit at the end that has some danger and drama but overall the story is not really about that. Rescuing Bryn is focused on 2 people with differences that make them outcasts in society finding the perfect person! Stoker's books are always character driven and Bryn and Dane's story is no different! I love that Stoker touches on people who are struggling in some way-physical struggles, emotional struggles, etc. Its impossible not to love her characters!

When you're a Delta Force soldier, you see a lot. Often too much. But nothing can ever prepare you to see your entire team die before your eyes... The loss of his Delta brothers--and his arm--has Dane "Fish" Munroe still struggling months later. He's moved to Idaho, where an isolated lifestyle is making things worse, not better. Not that there's anyone left to care. Actually, Bryn Hartwell cares. In fact, she tries to surreptitiously make life just a little easier for the mysterious man who comes into the grocery where she works late at night, only to get a tongue lashing for her trouble. Still, he's obviously hurting; someone has to worry about him, spurring Bryn to nurse Dane when he hits a particularly low point. Intrigued by the quirky, kind, socially awkward woman, Dane allows himself to get close to someone for the first time in ages. A potentially epic mistake--because when her interest in the prepper lifestyle puts Bryn in the hands of a homegrown terrorist, losing her could put Dane's mental recovery permanently out of reach. But once a Delta, always a Delta. And there's a team in Texas who are ready to have Dane's back at a moment's notice. **Rescuing Bryn is the 6th book in the Delta Force Heroes Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings. No library descriptions found. |
