Susan May Warren continues the Montana Rescue series with Rescue Me. The first book is recommended to follow the story more clearly, but enough rehash is provided that readers could get by without it. This book differs from the first, because much of the story focuses on characters in situations in which rescue teams are deployed.
The plot feels a little bogged down by the emotional turmoil of the characters. However, the interesting thing about that is this same turmoil is used to convey a message of forgiveness and relying on the Lord. Many characters are involved in complicated relationships that could be viewed as love triangles.
This story ends on a rather pointed introduction to the plot of the third book. Be prepared for some survival action, intense wildlife encounters and some romance. Plenty of stuff keeps readers jumping from one subplot to the next without any certainty about if or when the issues will resolve. Good thing Warren has another book in the works!
