Lilly is still reeling from the death of her sister who was murdered. Now shes cleaning up the mess left behind and honestly doesn't want anything to do with her sisters ex Dave who according to her sister wasn't a great boyfriend. Then there's a hostage situation at a bank where both Dave and Lilly are at and managed to get away. They never expected something worse waiting for them and now they are forced into a situation where they both have to work together to get away from the deadly criminal who has them hostage again.

You know what I don't think I've come across a book where I sorta some what sympathized with the criminal which is a kinda wierd thing for me. That was one of the qualities of this book I liked about this book, I thought it was interesting getting to know him and seeing Lilly get to get him talking about himself. I mean the dude was cold, ruthless, and heartless but it was interesting getting a different side of the criminal. I enjoyed seeing how the two worked together in this impossible situation they've been placed in. I loved that this book was clean as well. I loved how truly caring Lilly was I mean even after everything the criminal was doing she still found it in her heart to help the dude. I mean she was sort of forced into a situation of helping but in her mind it was interesting the direction things went. With the amount of time I've said interesting I guess you can say that I liked this book and I really did. Highly Recommend.

Rancher’s Hostage Rescue is the fourth installment in the McCall Adventure Ranch. This was an interesting storyline but there was something in the story that I couldn’t connect with the characters. There needed to be more if a back story to better understand the characters. I couldn’t feel the connection between Dave and Lilly. I know that they both had an instant connection but because of his relationship between her sister Helen. I know that it didn’t feel right for Lilly because that was her sister and now she is having feelings for the man she loved. I did like that Dave was truthful with Lilly about his relationship with Helen and he felt bad. Lilly was a little hard with Dave with certain things that happened in their relationship but come on there is always two sides to a story. Now as far as the hostage situation it was okay but there was something also missing I’m not sure if it was more detail or maybe it was just the lack of connection to the characters. But no matter what I liked the story and I have to go back and read the beginning of this series.

After a bank robbery, 2 hostages rescue themselves and fall in love during the process. Plenty of suspense, but not very believable.
