Can anyone heal this rugged rancher’s broken heart?
Volunteer firefighter Jake McGregor can’t believe it when he arrives to the scene of a burning house, and finds out that someone in his small town has committed arson. When he looks into the frightened eyes of Faith Walker, he can’t imagine who would want to hurt her or her son, so why was the fire intentionally lit?
Faith has only been back in town a week, and already she’s wishing she’d never returned. Until handsome cowboy Jake rescues her and invites her to stay at his ranch, her old home town has been nothing short of unwelcoming. When she was sent away years ago, as a teenager and pregnant, she had hoped to never come back. Her dad turned his back on her, and she'd learned to fend for herself – the hard way.
Jake doesn’t particularly want a woman in his life, but he can’t turn Faith away. He’s been a bachelor since his fiancée died in a car crash five years before, and that’s how he wants to stay. Even if staying away from Faith starts to feel like the hardest task he’s ever endured…

I found this book to be a bit boring and pretty predictable. I knew everything would move pretty quickly, considering it was a short story and that is how they usually move along - but this one was just too fast paced in a romance and went exactly how you would think it would go, with out any surprise. It was an easy read - didn't necessarily hold my interest and the only "off throwing" part of the book, really wasn't that off throwing.
Jake is a volunteer firefighter, who is not played up much in the sexy department. He has weird mood swings through out the story, but once they have a bit of chemistry it's like everything about him changed, and he was suddenly "funny", but really not to me.
Faith just didn't interest me.. I didn't find anything that stood out from either of these characters.
Saved by the Rancher was a book to past time, and I'm glad it was a short story... I don't think I would have hung in for a full book.
2 STARS.
