A Rescued Heart by
Natalie Replogle
Ava Williams, a Kindergarten teacher loves her kids and
works to make a difference in their lives, but is haunted by a broken
engagement that left her at the altar alone.
Matt Thompson is a police officer and SWAT team member who visits her
classroom to tell the kids about his job.
Attraction flares between them; Matt is interested in beautiful, kind
Ava, but Ava is afraid to trust again.
Gradually, they begin a relationship and Ava begins to trust again as
Matt patiently pursues her. Ava befriends
the mother of a student and becomes involved in trying to help her escape an
abusive relationship, which involves her in an explosive situation, bringing
danger into her life. Matt and Ava’s
love for each other grows and brings them together in spite of the
difficulties, and they are able to face and overcome the danger together. This book is a slow, sweet ride with enough
action and danger to keep the pages turning.

My opinion:
I chose A Rescued Heart because it was written by a local author who visited my library. While this book was a change of pace from what I usually read, it was a nice book, a quick read, and kept my attention. I'm looking forward to reading the next two in this series.
