Rescue Team by Candace Calvert-
Tired of running from her past, nurse Kate Callison intends to become
Austin Grace Hospital’s permanent ER director and make Texas her home.
Despite staff friction, she’s moving ahead. Then unthinkable tragedy
wraps the ER in crime tape, bringing swarms of media, legal chaos—and a
search-and-rescue hero who seems determined to meddle in her life.
For
Wes Tanner, nothing beats finding someone who’s lost; he’s known that
helpless terror firsthand. So he’ll expand his team’s lifeline of hope:
K9 tracking, swift water rescue, even horse-mounted searches. He’s ready
for anything—except Austin Grace’s prickly and dismissive ER director.
As
Kate and Wes discover more about each other, new respect becomes
something deeper. Kate wonders if her heart might have finally found a
home. Then an unsolved missing persons case—and a startling new
one—become catalysts that threaten the loss of all she and Wes have
found.

My Thoughts-
While Rescue Team is the second book in the Grace Medical series, you can read it stand-alone with no problem.
Books based in a hospital or medical setting are not my normal reads, however I’ve read a few now by Candace Calvert and have not been disappointed yet. I have a little trouble attaching emotionally to the details of the ER and also in this case Wes’ rescue team, but beyond those details that don’t grip me, I enjoyed the very solid storyline.
Not only do the two main characters Wes and Kate have depth, but so to the secondary characters. You’ll find yourself drawn into the mystery, heartache, and triumph as you live life within and without the walls of Grace Medical.
As Wes and Kate grow closer together, the truth about each of their pasts is big enough to tear apart their fragile relationship.
Can Kate learn that no mistake is too big for God’s shoulders, even if it is too big for the man she is learning to trust and love?
Rescue Team moves quickly, and there is not one single thread of the story that the author doesn’t wrap up in the end. While mysteries are solved and relationships are mended, the end is not what I expected, which is always a bit of fun.
For a great summer read, with a little something for everyone, I recommend grabbing yourself a copy of Rescue Team!
