Publisher's summary
She's 33, unmarried, and stuffed into a Bubble-Yum-pink bridesmaid dress. And the whole town wants to fix her up with anyone with a dental plan....
Who's going to rescue Sadie Hollowell now?
Everyone in Lovett, Texas, knows Sadie has always been a "notional" kind of gal. She got a notion to leave town ASAP and never visit her daddy (bless his heart) again. Now she's back and got the notion to invite a good-looking, hard-muscled, total stranger to her cousin's wedding. Better a stranger than some of the losers she's dated.
Vince Haven got his muscles the hard way - as a Navy SEAL in Afghanistan. He's staying in Lovett to visit his crazy aunt - the proprietor of the local Gas and Go. Before he can get the heck back out of the small town, his aunt makes him an offer he can't refuse. Maybe he'll stick around Lovett for a while. Maybe he'll make a "go" of the Gas and Go. Maybe he'll rescue Sadie out of that pink dress!

Story
Daisy Lee Monroe thought she'd brushed the dust of Lovett, Texas, off her high-heeled shoes years ago, but she's come back home only to find that little has changed. Her sister is still crazy, and her mom still has pink plastic flamingos in her front yard. And Jackson Lamott Parrish, the bad boy she'd left behind, is still so sexy it hurts. She'd like nothing better than to avoid this particular man, but she can't. Daisy has something to say to Jackson, and she's not going anywhere until he listens.

Morton "Jacko" Jackman isn't afraid of anything. He's a former Navy SEAL sniper, and he's been in more firefights than most people have had hot meals. Lauren Dare scares the crap out of him. Gorgeous, talented, and refined, she's the type of woman who could never be interested in a roughneck like him. So he's loved her fiercely in secret, taken her art classes, and kept a watchful but comfortable distance. Until now.

Story
I knew fixing up my life with a fresh start on the hobby ranch I inherited in Hell’s Bells, Wyoming, would come with challenges. Things like snow. Wildlife. Local gossip about why my daughter and I are here. But the biggest challenge? My surly new tenant. He’s like a bear. Fascinating from a distance, but don’t get too close, or he’ll bite. His personality should be a good thing. I have no need of a new man in my life. But he’s not only my tenant; he’s also my daughter’s math teacher and soccer coach.

The proposition is simple: if ER nurse Claire Harper and her roommate, firefighter Graham Scott, are still single by the time they’re forty, they’ll take the proverbial plunge together…as friends with benefits. Maybe it’s the wine, but in the moment, Claire figures the pact is a safe-enough deal, considering she hasn’t had much luck in love and he’s in no rush to settle down. Like, at all. Besides, there’s no way she could ever really fall for Graham and his thrill-seeking ways. Not after what happened to her father.

The first time I met Winter Marks, I almost took her out with my Jeep. To be fair, she came out of nowhere. I flirted with her, and she flipped me off and disappeared into the woods on her bike. But she left me a souvenir: a single hockey skate. Seemed to me that divine intervention shouldn’t be ignored. She was my icy Cinderella, and I would be her Prince Not-So-Charming. Winter was more than just a sassy, badass hockey-playing hottie. She’s stuck in a prison of a life. And I’m the perfect escape. Neither of us expected to fall. Or for the truth to shatter us.

OK. Kind of.
I usually like Rachel Gibson books. They seem to borrow liberally from Susan Elizabeth Phillips plot lines and Gibson doesn't write a Phillips level or even at the level of Jennifer Crusie, but her books are light, funny sexy and a little bit sweet.
This one is OK. It shares some of the same characteristics as her other books, but there was a real disconnect between the main characters that I haven't noticed before. I didn't get the sense that these two were in love at the end or that they even particularly liked each other. And while I don't really need a HEA in a book like this, I do like some degree of closure. At the end, the demons plaguing them both were still there. Nothing was resolved. She still had the same parental issues. Her dad may have died but she still was crippled by his lack of interest. And he still had the nightmares to deal with. I am not sure what they really accomplished or if they thought being together would help them both.

Another winner from Rachel Gibson!
Rescue me is book 3 of the Lovett, Texas series by Rachel Gibson and its the only one available in audiobook format at this time (bummer). I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that this book is the story of Navy SEAL Vince Haven, who happens to be the brother of Autumn from Any Man of Mine. He seemed to be a sad lonely character in the other book so I was happy to see him find happiness.
Vince goes to Lovett, Texas because he buys a Gas-n-Go from his aunt and is remodeling it. This is a cowboy love story written in the way that only Rachel Gibson can. Great romance, funny dialogue, interesting story line, teary eyes moments and a perfect ending.
Narration: Kathleen Early is an ok narrator. Not impressed by her male voices and her southern accent needs improvement but it was pleasant enough to listen and enjoy the story.
Rachel Gibson is one of my favorite contemporary romance authors. She consistently delivers a story that you want to listen to over and over again. The best narrators for her stories are Nicole Poole and Susan Bennett. I recommend listening to this book after Any Man of Mine. Although they are from different series, this one does mention a few things and characters from that book.

Good book, but didn't have me riveted.
Would you recommend Rescue Me to your friends? Why or why not?
It was a good book. Typical love story and ended well. If you go into it knowing it's a book you can start and stop and not lose your place while your multi-tasking books, then you won't be dissapointed. I liked it, just wouldn't call it a favorite.

Loved it!
I read this book on my kindle and also listened to it on my iPod. It was great both ways. Rachel Gibson is one of the best and I really enjoyed hearing Vince's story. He was a very small character in Any Man of Mine so I didn't expect a book about him. The ending of this book was left open about a 28 year old girl listed on Sadie's Dad's will...the unnamed trust. I guess that is the next story!!! I can't wait.

I hate to say anything bad...but...
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Yes, mostly. This is a total chic lit escapist sex read. The hook up scenes are good because Rachel Gibson knows how to deliver a physical scene. I really really love listening to Rachel Gibson books. In fact, why doesn't Audible release more. Why? But I have to say, this was my least favorite book of hers. Even though I listened to it in a matter of days, it was a bit boring and the writing feels a little stale, repetitive and overdone. Yes we know they are just friends with benefits. We heard it 20 times. And yes we know he is emotionally unavailable....we hear it another 20 times and she of course never had great sex until she meets HIM. You told us. We got it. I hate to write anything negative about Rachel Gibson books because I like what she does...she usually has great characters a story, conflict, and romance. She's a great writer and I will always download her books. While this was not my favorite I still enjoyed it. I just didn't enjoy it as much as the other books.
Which character – as performed by Kathleen Early – was your favorite?
Vince's aunt with the hard raspy nicotine voice. I imagined that weird actress in the "magic bullet" infomercials. She's the one that smokes a cigarette in the kitchen in her moo moo while a bunch of clean cut suburban neighbors "magic bullet" garlic cloves, onions and radishes with cultish delight. She just doesn't fit the scene, just like Vince's aunt. More of her would have been fun.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No

Great break from the ho hum.
Not a bodice ripper, but a very good story. You get the emotional issues, the past trauma, and some really likable characters. Kept my interest and didn't cause me to want to quit listening. OK, I have read better but this is not a disappointment either. Go ahead and spend the credit, it is that good.

Same story line I love every time
Never gets old, he meets her, they hit turmoil, they fall in love. But what I love most is the elements that accompany the story line that makes it different each time. Love Rachel Gibson
