Rescued by the Ranger

Fantastic read, I am so in love with this book! A fast past book that made me completely fall in love with Garrett (a heart stopping sexy Army Ranger) and his sidekick Cowboy (his canine best friend)! Wounded while in Iraq, Garret Harding has returned home only to discover that his mother, who abandoned him years before, has died. Garret finds a letter from his Aunt Peg that his father had hidden from his and his brother. Garret is furious with his father and decides to head out to see his Aunt, he is looking for answers as to why she left him and his brother all those years ago. For years Garret and his brother Luke have been told that their mother was a druggie who abandoned them and was never heard from again. When Garret gets to town he decides to stop at a local bar and grab a quick drink but ends up with more than he bargained for. Instead he walks in to find Rachel Maguire, a beautiful red-head, being physically harassed by a guy. Garrett steps in and helps Rachel and offers to get her home safely but when Rachel finds out who Garrett is she is furious. After some serious discussion, Rachel agrees to take Garrett to meet his Aunt Peg, who just happens to live with Rachel. Garret decides to stick around for a while so he can learn more about his past but while there he also learns that Rachel has been keeping a secret of her own. Rachel ended up in Idaho and on Garret's mom's ranch after running from a crazy stalker 10 years ago. Now after all this time, the stalker is closing in on her once again. Rachel has no choice but to flee once again or risk the lives of those she loves. When Garrett offers to help she quickly refuses, not wanting him to get hurt or worst. I received an eARC of this book compliments of the publisher via Edelweiss for my honest review and opinion. All ratings and opinions stated are my own.

Exciting Action, Adventure, Romance This story has it all! A great, mountain-based suspenseful story, Army Ranger and Navy SEAL, and a killer, former military working German Shepherd. The plot is just great with plenty of twists and bad guys. I had no clue when the final reveal came about, and I read a lot of mysteries. I loved the dog, especially the interesting commands he had been taught. This book is the prequel to the Hearts of Valor series. I am so glad that I bought this book and I would do it again!
