's review

it was ok

Boy this book had me going between 1 2 and 3 stars. Theres were parts I really hated and came close to just stopping, then other parts that I really felt for the characters. Some of the emotions they went through had me rooting for them, but no sooner did I start liking them, they would go and ruin it all and I'd be ready to just quit again. The rest of the time I was kinda bored.

I don't think I can really give this more than 2.5 stars. Too much against V's the small amount for.

Mandy*reads obsessively* Let me know how you liked it! I loved the cover and bought it, but I couldn't get past 1/3 ! Hated the MC!


Candice I'll be interested to know what you think of this one.


Deeze I noticed your rating was lower than the others Candice lol. I'm curious to see which side I'll be on too lol.


Candice Yeah, I wish I had actually written a review so I would know why.

*lol* I've been doing the same thing recently go back to see why I gave the rating I did only to find no review and I can't remember anything about the book!


Deeze Thats why most of my books are not up on GR lol. I can't remember enough to even rate let alone review lol. Sad face


Monika Hey Dee, this is why I don't leave review until later because later never comes.


Deeze Exactly lol. I have to review straight away or I'm lost lol.

I think this was back before I was actually writing any reviews.

So true! But James was such an awesome guy that I thought he made the entire read worth it!


Craig Sharp How are you finding Rescue me, Deeze? I finished it today.


Monika Hey Dee! I liked this book, you know that already but not all books are for everyone!


Deeze Hey Graig,
I'm finding it a bit hard going so far. Mostly the medical aspect is really anoying me. I want to report James not for kissing a patient, but for leaving in a huff all the time and leaving his patient vunerable to falls. Plus having all 3 friends gay or Bi suddenly is stretching my imagination I guess. Maybe I'm just nit picking again lol. But I'm at the point now when its two months later, so no more nurse/patient stuff lol. I do kinda like Matts turmoil though. Wether I'll still like by the end is still open lol.

Hey Monika,
Yeah I saw your review, A lot of friends like this with a couple not so keen. I'm not saying for certain, but I think I'm leaning more in the not for me camp. But I have been known to change my mind lol.

Lol, I'm finding myself wondering why I gave it as much as 3 stars, too, since what I remember most clearly was how much I disliked Matt, how horrible he was to everyone, and how I wasn't so impressed with James.


Deeze Matt certainly doesn't come over as very likable, its very hard to feel sympathy for him, and yet strangely enough every now and then I do.

That is pretty much what I remember...not liking Matt at all.


Craig Sharp Being in the medical field myself, I can certainty understand James POV. There has been times I have wanted to walk out of a patient’s room professionalism be damned. It really is a good thing I am a sweet, compassionate, gentle, kind person. :D

Ahhh but did you ever do it? Of course not. I find it easy to understand the temptation, but not so easy to believe the way James failed to be profesional. But then none of the medical stuff felt that real for me. I think some was the time line wasn't fully established. The way he could use his arm on the crutches? Wouldn't that of damaged or set back the healing of the shoulder? I thought he broke the arm but now I think I might of got that wrong. See I'm nit picking again lol.

Working in the psychiatric field I’ve had training in deescalating patient’s so no I’ve never walked out on a patient. As far as the medical healing timeline of the story it’s almost spot on, maybe a few days to a week out of real timeline. The only thing that would be totally impossible would have been Matt carrying James up the stairs also most probably the fight scenes. Self-preservation would have been at the forefront of Matt’s mind even up to a year, after the injuries he sustained, causing him to walk away from a fight.


Deeze OK Thanks. I guess I just assumed the arm injury coupled with the broken ribs would stop him from being able to use crutches.

The fight thing I found believable lol. I guess I saw that as Matt so blinded by his conflicting thoughts that there was no room for anything else.

I guess the fact that this is a fictional story means I really need to stop picking it apart lol. Sorry.


Craig Sharp No need for sorry, I love discussing alternant points of view. I find that it sometimes gives me insight to the characters or the story that I may not have thought of or over looked. ie. Matt being blinded by his conflicting thoughts that there was no room for anything else. That never really crossed my mind. Maybe I’m the one that’s picking it apart. LOL

Me too. Its part of why I love GR. Seeing what others think and feel. Thanks Craig. And you never picked, just help clear up a point or two.
