Rescue Me
Lara Van Hulzen

Sweet, clean romance! I thought this book was like some of the romance novels I used to read: Low drama/angst, characters don’t jump into bed after their 1st meeting, and they handle problems like adults (GASP!). If you enjoy New Adult, this isn’t a book for you. If you enjoy contemporary romance but don’t like the poor moral decision, excessive sex, and general unlikability of the characters, you will enjoy this book! The characters are well written, mature, and deal with issues and struggles like adults. It was a refreshing change from some of the current trends in romance novels (NOTE: I don’t dislike NA or contemporary romance with all the angst and drama and sex; Just look at the books I have read! I just enjoy a change of pace once in awhile so you might enjoy it as well!)
