Rescued Hearts by Jack Fisher

Candy was trailer trash until EMT Ryan saved her life. Though salvation and love begin to bloom for them both, deadly danger also lurks.

Have you ever fallen in love with an angel? Candy Carter has. A self-proclaimed trailer-trash princess, she seems destined to live a life of quiet deviance in Haven Hill, a dying rural town overrun by drug dealers and criminals.

Then, in her darkest hour, EMT Ryan Roth saves her life when a forest fire ravages her town. That fateful encounter doesn’t just endear him to her heart. It inspires her to leave Haven Hill and build a better life, much to the dismay of her jealous ex-fiancé, Paul Reynolds. She runs away, enrolls in college and tries to become the kind of woman who was worth saving.

But just as that life seems to be taking shape, Candy crosses paths with the man who’d been her angel, only to find out that he’s divorced and miserable. As they reconnect, old dreams transform into new passions and hope for the future for them both. However, Candy’s old life comes back to haunt her. Her angel may not be able to save her this time, or they may both lose their lives.

Reader Advisory: This book contains a scene of near-fatal overdose.

Candy is living a life she doesn't want. She knows she'll get stuck there if she stays any longer. After a near death experience, she knows that she needs more out of life than drugs and using her body to get what she wants.

Despite having a difficult relationship with her mom, leaving her is difficult – her mom has been her role model all her life and using her body is what she knows best. But when push comes to shove, Candy knows that she can do more with herself.

Ryan is a recent divorcee who has never truly lived up to his family's expectations. He has a strange back story and despite being a great EMT, knows that he was a disappointment. He crossed paths with Candy when he saved her and even though there have been hundreds of saves since, when she reminds him, he immediately remembers that fire.

This is more of a romance dealing with trauma than a true romance. I think that Ryan and Candy would have been more successful if they had more interaction than just in the end. While I thought that their romance was somewhat realistic, I also thought their interactions were slightly stunted. Overall, this was entertaining, but lacked true chemistry.

Jack Fisher was born in Washington DC into a large, loving family that nourishes creativity at every turn. He grew up on a steady diet of comic books, movies, and Saturday morning cartoons. That diet gave him an active imagination, one he channelled into writing. He began writing at age 16 and hasn’t really stopped since. He quickly developed a soft spot for romance, often writing fan fiction of his favourite fictional couples. Eventually, he graduated to writing stories about couples of his own creation, with a heavy focus on heated passion and powerful intimacy. He is currently single and lives just outside of DC. He is still a self-professed comic book lover and all around sci-fi geek while striving to refine his craft in any way he can.

Passion Relapse by Jack Fisher

Two recovering sex addicts. Two broken souls. One shared passion.

Mary Ann Scott was once an aspiring fitness model and all-around party girl. Now, she’s a sex addict whose recovery is making her miserable. Despite spending nearly a year in a treatment program, she struggles to escape the scars left by her addiction. Then, one night, she crosses paths with Peter Robert Rogers, a childhood friend turned handsome firefighter who just happens to be a recovering sex addict as well.

He comes into Mary’s life broken, distraught and vulnerable. Having experienced that feeling, too, she reaches out to him. Together, they try to help each other heal. But in doing so, Mary doesn’t just open old wounds. She evokes a wealth of pent-up desire…a desire that quickly consumes them both.

Now, she and Peter are nearing the brink of relapsing. They’re on the verge of giving in to their addiction. Will it break them once more? Or will it bring them together and finally heal their wounded souls?

Reader Advisory: This book contains discussion and recollections of murder, suicide, infidelity and death. Description of an intense BDSM scene.

Rachael – ☆☆☆☆
This book is about two recovering sex addicts, but it is also about a man and a woman that were friends when they were little and moved apart. I have to say that I really enjoyed reading about how the pair works through their issues and as they share their stories of how they came to be where they were.

I felt so bad for Mary Ann at first because while she was doing everything her recovery program demanded of her, she still didn't feel like she was getting better, at least not deep down, even though she was controlling her addiction. It took someone who knew her before her addiction had taken over her life for her to find herself again.

Peter is much newer at dealing with his addiction, but he immediately grabs onto Mary Ann and all the knowledge that she has gained in her year of recovery.

The two find that the program may help them in one way, but true friendship helps in a completely other way.

I will say that I felt like the revelation that occurs at the end of the book seemed a bit over the top to me, so that is where the loss in ratings came from. I would've liked to see the couple as they came into the revelation together instead of just being told how they handle it.
