MargotSouth AustraliaAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Loved Everything About This Book!July 16, 2014MargotSouth AustraliaAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5What a great book - Candace Calvert lets us really know the characters deeply, and care for their outcomes. She interweaves numerous plots and keeps the reader on the edge of our seats. I felt for Kate, so determined to keep her shameful past a secret, even though it is destroying her hope and her life. Wes was a strong, faithful hero with past hurts of his own to deal with. So many hurts and secrets. And yet, it all comes to a very meaningful and satisfying conclusion. Truth really does set people free! Forgiveness of self and others adds to that freedom. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

KrisFairfax, VAAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Great novel about rescue teams and emergency roomsAugust 5, 2013KrisFairfax, VAAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Rescue Team, Grace Medical Series #2.My heart grieved for Kate Callison as I learned about her past. This book also opened my eyes to the difficulties in running a good ER — the pressure from the hospital management, the criticism from the patients waiting too long and the need to care for all patients well with reduced staffing (I actually read this book after spending a number of hours in an emergency room). But not only did I "see" the chaos in the ER, I also enjoyed learning more about search and rescue teams. And I found myself wincing as the author described Kate trying to walk after riding a horse for the first time in years — I have felt that pain, too! This book also explains the safe haven law, where mothers can give up an unwanted newborn safely, legally, and anonymously. I hope a book like this will save babies from dying from being abandoned.

VeraNorth CarolinaAge: Over 65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5the lost & the rescued - the hurting & the healedMay 3, 2013VeraNorth CarolinaAge: Over 65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Rescue Team, Grace Medical Series #2.I thoroughly enjoy Candace Calvert's books and requested to be on her short list of reviewers. So here we are with the second in the Grace Medical Series with "Rescue Team." The main characters Wes and Kate are thrust upon each other because their employment puts them directly in each others path. Wes is a search and rescue team leader and Kate is an emergency room supervisor. When Wes finds the lost and hurt, they are brought to Kate's ER.
Wes was lost as a child and doesn't want others to endure his traumatic experience or at least he wants to rescue the lost so they don't hurt as much. But he is still trying to come to terms with his own childhood experience. Kate has been running from hospital to hospital in short-term positions because she is actually running from life. Her past makes her run because she is hurting and she is lost and she believes she has done something no one will forgive. But Kate wants to make it perfectly clear to Wes that she doesn't need rescuing.
While the story is about the lost and the rescued and the hurting and the healed, it is also about forgiveness. The healing power of God's forgiveness for us and the healing power of our being able to forgive others. But this is a story of drama, too. Drama in the ER. Hospital drama with insurance liability and PR concerns. Drama in the field searching for the lost. Drama in family relationships. And it is a story of tenderness. The tenderness of being forgiven. The tenderness of a baby's touch. The tenderness of a gentle kiss.

RickMiddleburg, FLAge: 35-44Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Review from a Man's PerspectiveApril 20, 2013RickMiddleburg, FLAge: 35-44Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Rescue Team, Grace Medical Series #2.Ok,so I will admit that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Of course, I will also admit that I've done that to all of the books by Candace Calvert. So please, don't take my "Man Card" away just yet.
Kate Callison has spent her life running, now all she wants to do is take over as permanent ER Director as Austin Grace Hospital. The hospital is under a PR nightmare with the recent disappearance of their ER Director, a couple of deaths attributed to long wait times and an anonymous blogger keeping all of this fresh in the media. Wes Tanner runs a local search and rescue team on the side. A couple of rescues brings him into contact with Kate and feelings between them begin to grow. Kate isn't sure she wants to open up to Wes with all her baggage, but her feelings keep getting in the way. Now there's a missing baby and everyone is on the lookout. Kate runs away to clear her head when things with Wes take a wrong turn. What is so bad in her past that she can't overcome? Will Wes let her run without chasing? Is the baby ever found? Yes, you're right, GO BUY THE BOOK!
Is this a "guy's book"? I will be honest and say that this is not your regular guy's book. The theme is romance, redemption and a lot of talk about feelings. I will also say, though, that I enjoyed this book. The character of Wes has such a strong faith and belief system, but even he has an "AHA!" moment in the book that most men need to read about so that they can get their own "AHA!" moment.
