Amazon.com Review:
Denise Holden's life is a fragile mix of luck and hard work. A single mom of a speech-delayed son, Denise makes ends meet by moving to the small town of Edenton, North Carolina, and working the late shift as a waitress. When Denise crashes her car and her son Kyle flees the accident and disappears into the storm, her only stroke of luck is the quick arrival of Taylor McAden, a volunteer fireman. Taylor's got a knack for fixing people, and he can't help wanting to be involved with Denise beyond the initial rescue of Kyle.
As Taylor helps Denise recover from the accident and get to know the town, they discover a sweet bond and a magical chemistry that pulls them closer and closer. Though Taylor fits perfectly into Denise's family, he's unable to open his heart to being loved by her. As Taylor struggles to understand his conflicting desires, Denise questions the wisdom of gambling with Kyle's and her own emotions.
Author Nicholas Sparks has found a loyal audience for his stories about the internal battles that accompany the arrival of love. His heroes may be truck-driving manly men and his heroines emotional swamis, but it's easy to overlook the traditional roles when the complexities of human relationships are so beautifully described. Sparks has found his forte, and this novel is sure to be as popular as his earlier works. --Nancy R.E. O'Brien

- Oh Please
Freakin ridiculous.Love is never THAT easy.At least A Walk to Remember and The Notebook had some major conflict in them.True Believer was good too, but this one was a little too predictable.
Rating: - Nicolas Sparks never disappoints me with his story lines
I am midway in reading all of the Nicolas Sparks novels.The Rescue was the best one I have read so far. I could barely put the book down. I got so involved with the characters in the book, that I missed them for
days,when I finished the book.
Rating: - Truly a page-turner
The Rescue by Nicholas Sparks held my attention from the very first page.The excitement of it all and the story as it unfolds held my interest and kept me reading into the wee hours.I definitely recommend it.

- Rolling my eyes...
This is the most cliched story you can ever imagine.At one point, when Taylor took Denise on the date and then when they got back had strawberries and champagne and candlelight, I literally rolled my eyes.
Because I am not a person who can stop reading a book, I read to the end but was I ever glad when it was over.It was lame.I'm glad I only paid a dollar for it on my Kindle.It was on sale at the time I bought it.
