Rescue Me
by Heather R. Blair
Rett Davis doesn’t rescue people. Not anymore. The former Special Forces operative has made a quiet home in the mountains of Idaho, surrounded by solitude and the horses that need him. He prefers four-legged creatures to the two-legged kind anyway.
Until he lays eyes on her.
Izzy Kozlov doesn’t lean on anyone. It isn’t safe. But when the young dancer’s past catches up to her in the most violent of ways, she doesn’t have a choice.
The big man with the dark eyes and the perpetual scowl won’t give her one.
Rett is determined to keep Izzy safe, but she’s just as determined to keep her secrets. When a storm sweeps down off the mountain and those secrets come calling at last, Rett must perform one more rescue…
And hope it doesn’t go like the last one.
Come read about the men and women of Purgatory, Idaho, perpetually caught somewhere between heaven and hell. *Rescue Me features Dane “Fish’ Munroe from Susan Stoker’s Rescuing Bryn.

This was a great romantic suspense read! Rescue Me includes cameos from Dane from Susan Stoker's book, Rescuing Bryn, but it is primarily Rett and Izzy's story. Rett is a former Special Forces military man who has a sad past and survivor's guilt. Since he retired, he has been a recluse, living in a cabin in the Idaho mountains. He only comes down the mountain to the closest town, Purgatory, for supplies. But one day when he is visiting town something happens and he steps in to save Izzy from danger. Izzy is a former ballet dancer with a poor family life and a past that has her on the run. She is hiding out in the Purgatory, working as a stripper, when her past comes back to haunt her. Rett saves Izzy and takes her to hide out in his cabin in order to keep her safe. As the two spend time together, these two begin to fall for each other. They must face demons from both of their pasts in order to face a future together.
I really enjoyed this book. Rett and Izzy were complete opposites who attracted. He was a gruff cowboy and, despite currently being a stripper, Izzy was innocent and full of sunshine. She stole his heart and melted his gruff exterior. They made an unlikely pair and a perfect match. Their chemistry was amazing and I definitely felt the love between them. I enjoyed the story and found it was a great balance of suspense and romance. I have not read the Susan Stoker series this book spins off of, but that did not affect my enjoyment at all. Also, this book is a novella, but it feels like a full length book.
Overall, Rescue Me is a sweet, sexy and suspenseful book! I enjoyed seeing Rett and Izzy's relationship develop. I look forward to more from Ms. Blair in the future!
Thank you~~~ <3
