Summary: Not the love story I was hoping for
Review: When I picked this book to read, I hadn't heard much about it or read any reviews. I am a fan of Nicholas Sparks and I was hoping that this book would be a love story. What I found was a story with a lot of drama in it and only a small love story. It was a little slow in the beginning. I was about halfway through the book and the relationship between the two main characters still wasn't very developed. Don't get me wrong, it was still an enjoyable read(and a tear-jerker!). It just wasn't the love story I was looking for.

Summary: Another Sparks Love Story
Review: While driving in heavy rain storm, Denise Holton, a single mother, crashes her car on the edge of a swamp. She wakes up to find that her little boy Kyle is missing. A volunteer firefighter Taylor McAden rescues her and leads the search for the missing child. Our hero finds Kyle and this leads the child to bond to Taylor. The two soon fall in love, but our hero has a flaw that does not allow him to maintain a lasting, loving relationship.

THE RESCUE is a well written love story that revolves around the three main individuals. We have our flawed hero dealing with his demons, a mother who has devoted her life to her son and a child with a learning disorder. The character's are developed and believable. You will find it to be a fast read as well as you get caught up in the story. If you liked Sparks' other books, then this one is a must read.
