Editorial Reviews

Review

"The story of Becca and Cade contains shocking confessions, entwining twisted plots and acts of selfishness and selflessness. Yes, there is a rescuer within these pages, but in the end, it's hard to distinguish who is the rescuer to whom... Ms. Omasta has been blessed with an imagination that is off the charts. Each story is like nothing you've ever read before; that in itself is such a treat." - The Kindle Book Review

Ann’s Top Ten list of likes, dislikes, and oddities:

1. I despise whipped cream. There, I admitted it in writing. Let the ridiculing begin.

2. Even though I have lived as far south as Key Largo, Florida, and as far north as Maine, I landed in the middle.

3. If I don't make a conscious effort not to, I will drink nothing but tea morning, noon, and night. Hot tea, sweet tea, green tea––I love it all.

4. There doesn't seem to be much in life that is better than coming home to a couple of big dogs who are overjoyed to see me. My other family members usually show significantly less enthusiasm about my return.

5. Singing in my bestest, loudest voice does not make my family put on their happy faces. This includes the big, loving dogs referenced above.

6. Yes, I am aware that bestest is not a word.

7. Dorothy was right. There's no place like home.

8. All of the numerous bottles in my shower must be lined up with their labels facing out. It makes me feel a little like Julia Roberts' mean husband from the movie Sleeping with the Enemy, but I can't seem to control this particular quirk.

9. I love, love, love finding a great bargain!

10. Did I mention that I hate whipped cream? It makes my stomach churn to look at it, touch it, smell it, or even think about it. Great––now I'm thinking about it. Ick!

5.0 out of 5 stars What Would You Do In The Face Of Danger?
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2017

The book was written in a way that you felt like you knew the characters Becca and Cade. Becca was in truth a kind and sensitive person. Cade was a generous and loving person. This book was different than most romance novels; it was about a woman who made a bad decision that had repercussions that went on and on. Cade reacted to Becca's error as any normal person would react, he was upset. But over time Becca paid for her mistake and Cade forgave her. This is such an interesting book that I highly recommend anyone to read. It is a quick read but very satisfying.

I enjoy Ann Omasta’s writing, and the technical quality of her work is good whether writing a short story or a full length novel. The Rescuer is a very quick read. The opening scene is very well done. I enjoyed both Becca and Cammie, however, I found Cade to be a very flat character. His dialogue was stiff and unrealistic. I didn’t feel the chemistry between Cade and Becca.
I enjoyed the story twist, but the ending didn’t feel genuine. Interesting premise and technically good writing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story!
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2017

When Becca Nickles notices a handsome man and his beautiful young daughter in the bank line next to her, she daydreams about how the three of them could be a happy family together. Then before she knows it, a gunshot sounds and a robbery is in progress. When the robbers go to take the young girl who happens to be deaf, Becca steps in and sacrifices herself in place of the girl. In the bank break room the hostage and robbers are gathered planning their next move. A ceiling tile opens, and the handsome father (Cade) of the girl appears to help. Unfortunately his helping seems to be giving the robbers directions on how to escape. Just about when Becca has lost faith in Cade, his plan works and they are left unharmed. What follows is a happy reunion with the daughter (Cammie) and leads to the beginning of a romance. However there is more to the story than we realize.

The author has done a good job of making the characters interesting and yet shocking the readers along the way. This is not an "and they all lived happily ever after" story, but rather a complex story with a heavy dose of reality thrown in. Happy ending aside, I loved the way the main character accepted responsibility and made the best out of an uncertain situation. There were some graphic sex scenes that I could have lived without and the story would have not suffered. However, the characters were certainly responsible and forgiving. It was a good story, enjoyable and satisfying in the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars UNBELIEVABLE! NOT YOUR AVERAGE ROMANCE!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2017

Ann Omasta has a rare talent when it comes to writing romance. This story is a fabulous twist on a second chance, redemption romance. The likes, of which, you've never read before. At the very beginning the depth and realisticness of the character just draws the reader into the story. It's very easy to believe you have this book figured out almost halfway through. But our glorious author has thrown the BIGGEST twist into this plot. So big I literally screamed when I read it! (My poor kitty was sleeping on my lap at the time.) After the plot twist I just had to keep reading to find out how the book was going to end. I could feel Bella's emotions with every page I flipped. I could empathize because I felt utterly lost and at loose ends too. I actually laughed in relief at the end. It's true the book didn't go exactly as I figured it would. Yet this book was a refreshing change from all the other romance books out there.

Warning: If you can't handle steamy, hot sex then be forewarned - there is one heck of a sex scene in this book. We're talking: I needed a cold shower when it was over hot! Graphic, full of details, crazy hot sex scene. But just the one.

I thought this was a unique quirky way to start a romance, hostage in a bank robbery. Wow what a way to meet a guy! Then comes the twist and complications. It’s a fun read that kept my interest from beginning until the very last page. I salute the author for originality and good writing style. She is on my to be read listing when she publishes. Her newflie doggy books are hilarious!

I originally gave this book only one star and didn't quite finish it. I don't like to leave them unfinished so I came back and finished it. The author did a perfectly acceptable writing job, much better than some I have read. I however was not as happy with her story. I can't tell why without telling details but you will know by reading it and you may very well enjoy it greatly as it had a happy ending.

What a beautiful story that begins in a bank and ends up with the rescuer being kidnapped. Becca witnesses a bank robbery while standing in line and offers herself as the hostage in order to save the others. Lots of suspense, drama and hope as the story unfolds. Beautifully written with enchanting characters and a page turning story

Daring His Passion (Daring Desires, #2), my thirty-third read from author Ann Omasta. Another, entertaining, and well-written read more adult in nature than other things I've read so far from her (as narrator the author does a wonderful job). I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. I'll be reading more in this series & from this author. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

A quick interesting story to read. This well written story has many surprising twists, danger, secrets and hot chemistry that all lead to a very addictive story to read. It is well worth a read as we find out about how Cade and Becca go about their second chance redemption romance. Very unusual romance.

3.0 out of 5 stars It’s cute and fun and not the least bit believable
Reviewed in Canada on October 10, 2019
Verified Purchase
It’s cute and fun and not the least bit believable. I was able to suspend my disbelief for long enough to finish the book, but it was a near thing on several occasions. Other than the complete implausibility of it, the thing that frustrated me the most were the time gaps in the story. There were several places where the plot would jump forward beyond a pivotal event and then we’d witness that event in a flashback. I found it quite irritating when I spent several chapters going “Wait! What did I just miss?” Then going back to re-read a chapter to try and figure it out where I got lost, only to give up and finally find out what had happened a chapter or so later. I almost hate to admit it, but after the previous two books, I think my favorite part of this one was that no existing relationships were violated during it.
