Where to begin...
There are so many good reasons to read Rescue Me...it's a beauty and the beast tale with so much passion and heart-wrenching horror it was like riding a roller coaster and hoping someone didn't die along the way.

This was my first read by this author but boy...she does't pull any punches...she just goes right for the jugular. I wasn't quite prepared for how much she puts her characters through and there were many times I found myself pulling away from the story because it just hurt too much. I must be a lot like James though because I just kept coming back for more!

Matt did not have a lot of redeeming qualities in my eyes but I am a sucker for a tortured soul storyline. In this case, Matt's disfigurement was not his scars but what was on the inside...he was cold, sadistic, short-tempered, homophobic, hurtful and violent at times. It was in those times with James reeling from Matt's inexcusable behavior that I wanted to stop reading but I was so invested in James right from the beginning that I forced myself to continue, desperate for James to have his HEA.

I will say that the sexual tension in this book is out of this world...and the times that these men come together was filled with so much passion! It's during these moments that Matt manages to communicate his feelings for James in the only way he knows how.

In the end we are rewarded for all of the abuse the author puts us through with a truly beautiful and emotionally satisfying end to the story.
So, if you are up for a love-hate story with all if the good stuff thrown in the mix, Rescue Me is sure to satisfy!
