This one was on the top 5 favorite Sparks books, right up there with The Guardian and The Bend in the Road. This one was about a volunteer firefighter named Taylor McAden. When confronted by raging fires or deadly accidents, Taylor takes risks that no one else in the department dared to take. He does whatever he can to save a live. But there's one risk that Taylor can't bring himself to take. He can't fall in love.
For all of his adult life, Taylor has dated women who need to be rescued, and once their crisis is over, he gets bored and leaves. The one day, a raging record breaking storm hits his small southern town. Denise Holton, a young single mother is driving through it when he car skids off the road with her four year old son in tow. What aggravates the circumstances is that Kyle, her son, has severe learning disabilities. Who comes to her rescue? None other than local hero, Taylor McAden.
Both are stricken with terror when they realize that Kyle is no where to be found after the accident. During the search for Kyle, the connection between Taylor and Denise takes root. Taylor doesn't know that this rescue will be different from all the others, demanding much more than physical courage.
Absolutely recommend this one. Nicholas Sparks provokes you to continue through his spellbinding story lines until the very end.
P.S.! Kayla I know you aren't a fan of Sparks, but since I did talk you into reading the Guardian and you liked it, I am recommending that you read this one too. Especially since it's about a volunteer firefighter, you should relate easily. I think you'll like this one.
