felinity 's review for:

The Rescue by Nicholas Sparks
4.0

Picked this up semi-randomly because I couldn't remember why I hadn't been reading Nicholas Sparks' books for years. (I think it was just lack of opportunity crossed with more pressing books.)

This is more balanced than some other romances I've read, though still obviously filling in some tropes. Denise is a very human character, with the joys and frustrations of being a parent; Taylor is driven by something in his past but still managing to be a nice guy; Kyle is just a sweetie.
