REVIEW

Gansett Island is one of my favorite series to read. It’s a sure read and I know I’ll come away happy, satisfied, and longing for more. Unfortunately, Rescue After Dark didn’t give me that “happy after reading” feeling I get after reading a Gansett book. We have had glimpses of Fire Chief Mason Johns in previous stories and I eagerly awaited his own HEA story. I enjoyed the chemistry between Mason and Jordan. They were funny and had great banter. I also loved that despite both of them having had past failures in relationships, they still took a chance on each other without an emotional back and forth. Sadly, this story just lacked something for me, be it content or character development, I can’t put my finger on it. There were plenty of sexy times, which the Gansett Island books are full of, but I missed the character depth and relationship growth. Some secondary characters were more prominent in this story that we only get glimpses of in the past after their own stories (Mallory, Quinn, Blaine) so I enjoyed reading more of them. We were introduced to a few members of the fire department. Fans of the series will enjoy this read and I look forward to the next installment in the series.
