CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE |4+| Ashley Haney
REVIEW:
In the third and final book of the Holmes
Brothers series, Farrah Rochon takes us through the rough road of love with
Alexander Holmes. Alex is a widower who owns Holmes Construction and has been
celibate for six years due to his wife’s cheating ways. Renee is the special
projects coordinator at Alex’s daughter’s school who has recently moved to New
Orleans. Alex and Renee are instantly attracted to each other and decide to
explore their feelings.
Alex is the oldest of the three Holmes men. He has kept his wife’s wrongdoing
and indiscretions a secret not only to protect her memory for their daughter but
because of the shame he feels. He is a very loving person who is constantly
taking care of his family and employees but doesn’t take the time to take care
of himself. Renee is living in New Orleans to help her aunt repair her home
after Hurricane Katrina. She has never been in a casual relationship and is
willing to step out on a limb and see where a relationship with Alex will lead.
I like how the family and friends are tied in the story. They help keep the
story real by offering advice.
The majority of the story takes place in New Orleans. The story takes on a
realistic feel because it talks about the continuous clean up efforts since
Hurricane Katrina. The family goes to St. Martin for a wedding adding a more
relaxed environment that helps with the plot of the story.
RESCUE ME moves at an excellent pace. There are
constant conversations that keep the story very interesting and the reader
engaged. Farrah Rochon has added details and a captivating plot to ensure that
you won’t want to put this novel down.
I absolutely loved this novel. I purchased the two previous novels,
DELIVER ME and RELEASE ME
as soon as I finished RESCUE ME.
Renee and Alex are truly a match that was meant to be. There is a surprising
twist at the end of the book that lets you know how strong and loving a person
Alex Holmes is. I would definitely recommend this book and the other books that
are in the series.
