Reviews for The Heart I Rescue
9 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Niki’s roommate, Marcy is determined to find the perfect man for her friend. With her twenty-sixth birthday coming, Niki feels no urgency to find love. Her blind date Chad would be perfect for Marcy. She does regret that her entire life could be minimized into one word: coding. Between assignments, she waited for Brian, the CEO of Elite Software to transfer her to a new client. Brian assigns her to her dream job at Helitronics, the largest DoD contractor for helicopter aviation electronics. Then Kyle Jacobs reenters her life and turns everything upside down. Niki has to learn to work with him since he also is assigned to the new project because of his military record and flight experience. Niki has a hard time letting go of the image she has carried of Kyle since high school.The letter she received just before her brother was killed by an IED carries a passion about getting to know Jesus. Somehow Niki has to go beyond the past, and move beyond her painful memories, then when her heart is open, she finds the One who can hold her heart and even make Todd, who seems to be sabotaging the project, insignificant.Karen Baney has penned a story and characters that linger past the last page. The reader is invited into the world of a computer programmer, a software engineer, or coders, or developers or whatever one wishes to call them. The characters are a “snarky, funny, unique breed.” Baney’s faith allows her characters to change. Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book for my unbiased review.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was a fun read. I enjoyed the different characters and how they interacted with the main character. Even for Christian fiction, this story was heavy on Jesus, but it was encapsulated enough not to detract from the rest of the story. I usually like my religious fiction a litter lighter handed.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed this book. It was a great love story. Two people who have been caught up in the past and trying to overcome those differences. They have a great group of support from friends and family. I wouldn’t say it was an unusual story, as to me it was pretty typical for a romance. However, there were different events within the book that made it different enough that I enjoyed it. It does have a lot of religious actions and events. To me that was the point of the story, finding Jesus, and other ways to deal with hard times and events that we may not understand. I enjoyed Niki’s character. She is a workaholic which is understandable, but amazing that she has accomplished so much. Kyle was also very likeable and a well developed character. I was a little annoyed with the off-side romance/relationship for Marcy and Chad, but not so much that it ruined the story.This is a very well written book with great characters and events. The author did not go into too many details of the country, but enough that I could envision what the area looked like.Verdict: 4 stars. Even though it was a typical romance, there were enough different events and interesting events that I enjoyed the story. Recommendations: To anyone who likes romance or anyone who likes to read religious books.
