The town of Fool's Gold is still awash in romantic entanglements. For those that remember the Hendrix Family, Ford is home from his stint as a Navy SEAL. His ex-fiance's little sister, Isabel, is also back in town running the family bridal shop.
While Isabel's once unrequited crush has long since passed, she and Ford do still seem to enjoy each others' company. As can be expected, the rest of the Hendrix family is ready to see Ford and his brother, Kent settle down. Grandchildren are always nice to have. The bonus in this book is that we get to follow Kent through his foibles at wooing a war-hardened woman.
Four people each set out with goals in mind. Isabel has no intentions of staying in town long. Two have spent so much time in war zones that they've never had an opportunity to try loving. Then there is Kent; he's such a quintessential good guy that he might struggle with exciting the exotic Consuelo long term.
Depending on your mood, either Jo or Patience will be waiting with just your favorite treat when you settle into the latest Fool's Gold fantasy.

Rescue Me
by Rachel Gibson
Gibson takes a slight veer from her Chinooks series by focusing on the sibling of a previous character. Vince Haven has traveled many paths since leaving his medical discharge as a Navy SEAL. Proprietor of a relative's small town Gas 'n Go was never even on the short list of possibilities. Before he even makes his way into Lovett, TX, he encounters a notional lady that is bound and determined not to like him too much.
Sadie Jo left town years ago because she never quite seemed to fit in Lovett. Now she and her nearly sacrilegious flat hair have returned for a cousin's wedding. The plan is to get in and get out, but life has other plans for her. Sadie spends much of the book coming to terms with her past and trying to outrun her emotions with Vince as her new distraction. Predictably, two duo believes that love 'em and leave 'em will work as well as it always has, and, of course, it doesn't.
Gibson ties her characters to previous novels just enough to keep old fans happy without making new readers feel lost. It's quick, just a little naughty, and filled with the kind of sweetness we often forget to see in our daily lives.
