Book Review: Rescuing the Hero by Dawn Kinzer
A firefighter saves what he can.
An artist creates what she must.
From the ashes of loss, will love ignite?Sydney Swan’s dream goes up in flames when a devastating fire destroys her art gallery and studio. The fiercely independent artist is determined to rebuild Creative Express without relying on anyone, especially after past heartbreak taught her that accepting help may come at a cost.
Firefighter Landon Price, Dogwood Creek’s golden boy, returns carrying the guilt of a tragedy he couldn’t prevent, desperate to prove he’s still worthy of the faith others place in him.
With the gentle nudging of a wise and determined matchmaker, Sydney and Landon discover that healing often comes in unexpected ways—and that love may be waiting where they least expect it. But can Sydney find the courage to trust again? And will Landon realize that sometimes even heroes need rescuing?
Small-town charm and rediscovered dreams are always in season in Dogwood Creek, Tennessee.
JULIE’S REVIEW
Full disclosure, I am coming to you as a reader of this series. I LOVE the Dogwood Creek Matchmakers series so much. BUT, I am also a participating author. Our works are separate, and I had nothing to do with the creation of the other authored novellas. These are my opinions, and mine alone.
Rescuing the Hero features Sydney who is trying to buy an art gallery, and Landon, a firefighter who resists hero status. They both have past wounds that on paper would make the two seem unlikely. Thanks to Matchmaker Maggie, Landon and Sydney build a friendship where they heal from their past. Of course, with a fire starting the novella, sparks fly.
I thought this was full of hope, healing, and relatable themes. I loved the pacing and character build.
I definitely recoomend this novella.
