MY THOUGHTS
This was a fascinating book that takes the reader behind the scenes of a mountain rescue operation. It is the third book in the Montana Rescue series, and it really stands alone. I have not read the first two books in the series (although now I want to), and while the book hints at backstories I really didn't feel like I'd missed out on critical information required for Rescue Me to make sense.
The book begins with an incident that sends the hero, Sam Brooks, into a head spin and quickly draws the reader in. The interactions between the characters are complex and fascinating, especially between siblings (Sam and his brother, and the two female characters Sierra Rose and Willow).
Warren has a way of creating a setting that takes me out of my couch and into the wilderness in just a couple of sentences! Her stories are intriguing and full of twists that keep me reading late into the night.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Deputy Sam Brooks is deeply
committed to keeping the town of Mercy Falls safe. So he takes his role as
liaison between the Mercy Falls Sheriff’s department and PEAK Rescue very
seriously. However, he is also committed in his personal life. Once his mind is
set on something – nothing can sway him.
Despite
the opinions of others, Sam is sure that Sierra Rose is the perfect girl for
him. She is safe, practical and organized; a far cry from her hippie,
impulsive, bleeding heart sister, Willow.
Willow
feels torn between her love for Sam and her desire to see her sister have a
happy ending. At least for the time being, Willow focuses her attention on
getting the job as youth pastor of her small-town church.
But
when an arsonist strikes, Willow and Sam are forced to fight for their lives in
the forbidding wilderness of Glacier National Park. Stranded and injured with
the winter weather closing in, Willow and Sam will have to work together to
rescue a crew of terrified teenagers. As they fight to survive, they might just
discover a new hope for love.
