Rescue Me (Lovett, Texas, #2)

by Rachel Gibson

Get ready to play some Texas Hold ‘em…

Things are getting tricky for sexy Sadie Hollowell, about to be forced into a bubblegum-pink bridesmaid dress for her little cousin Tally Lynn’s wedding. And if that ain’t problem enough, the second she drives back into town, the entire population of Lovett, Texas will be fixing her up with the nearest available man – any man. She needs a rescue plan now. And good-looking stranger Vince Haven might just be the perfect ‘date’ she needs to get her family off her back.

But moody ex-Navy SEAL Vince Haven is only stopping by Lovett to visit his crazy Aunt Luraleen. ‘No strings attached’is his motto, and he’ll be damned if he acts as any woman’s fake date! Sadie’s out of luck again - but when Vince’s aunt makes him an offer he can’t refuse, he could be hanging around town for a while. And if Sadie gets that date after all, she might just get more than she bargained for!

This title, Rescue Me, can be seen in many different ways in this book. There is they way Sadie "rescued" Vince from the side of the road. There is the way Vince rescued Sadie from being dateless for a family event. Then, there is the deeper ways they rescued each other. Both Vince and Sadie had a great deal of baggage, but together, they slowly begin to unload and heal.

I thought they were fun to be around. I loved their banter, and they way they tried to deny their feelings. I liked how the relationship evolved, and changed. I do agree with other reviewers. The ending came so quickly following the conflict, in true Lifetime movie fashion. I probably would have been ok with that, if there had been an epilogue. However, I still was really happy with this book, and it left a smile on my face, which is pretty much what I want in the end.
