Luckily, a handsome agent for a local animal protection group comes to her rescue, taking her to their facility where she finds out all about their work. While there, she finds herself not only falling for the endangered animals, but the rescue agent who does their protecting.Will Brody open his heart to a city girl?

Adventure, suspense, wonderful characters and a safari vacation that turned into so much more!
Jenna enthralls us by landing the hero and heroine in South Africa, where wild animals abound and two people might have the chance to fall in love!

He had come back to his land of birth and gotten a great job with the Wild Animal Protection Agency. Tracking down poachers, protecting the animals and of course the people who found themselves in trouble.

She was taking a vacation to go on safari and found herself in a difficult situation. But fate brings her a hero to rescue her and they meet.

Great story that brings the plight of animals to the forefront but also takes us on a journey that will lead to love.

Skidding scooters scooby! Jenna waxes poetic justice delivering one sensationally tantalizing, delightfully delectable, incredibly tumultuous, skillfully compelling, incredibly addictive, boot-stomping rock-my-world piece of wonder, raising the stakes and pulling out all the stops, stringing through every essence, nuance and sentiment, jetting this jewel to staggering heights. Anarchy and chicanery run rampant, brimming with riveting drama, gripping intrigue, underlying threats, brutal tactics, cruel truths, devious schemes, spiraling danger, electrifying suspense and unnerving situations ensue, futures are forged and revelations are disclosed, exhibiting the soaring ups and agonizing downs inspiring in it's depth and breathtaking in it's strength, blasting this bad boy to life spectacularly. Cunning diversions and calculated maneuvers combine in a tempest of brilliant strategy and perceptive deductions, mindful of the broken boundaries and crumbling perimeters binding as foreboding and dread increase and amplify, observing the daunting trials and trying tribulations, while cognizant of the perilous twists and wicked turns unfolding, attentive to the witty quirks and defying bents, putting our characters through their paces, fusing this gem together seamlessly. The characters interactions and charged atmosphere along with relatable qualities and individual traits add depth and diversity, transforming into amazing personalities. The scenes are abundantly descriptive with colorful details that blend and flow, creating a majestic backdrop that's so rich and lively it feels as though you're part of the story instead of on the sidelines, feeling everything the characters feel. Fabulous job Jenna, thanks for sharing this little treasure with us.

I love wild animals - especially in the wild! I think humans should do everything possible to preserve their habitat and help those animals and punish those who hurt either one. This book touched my heart because it was about South Africa and about fictional characters trying to stop poaching and other ways people hurt wild animals. It was beautifully written. I wanted it to keep going and not stop! Sarah is just a "tourist", although she's an environmental lawyer, and gets robbed and left on the side of the road on her way to her dream safari in South Africa. Brody is an agent for the WAPA and finds her but can't get her back to her safari so shows her what he and his fellow agents are doing to protect animals. I loved the danger, the variety of things the agents did, the characters and of course, the animals themselves! What a wonderful story!

I really enjoyed this story that took place in Africa. Sarah sure did not expect for her vacation to be what it turned into. Though there were some bad things happening, she not only got to spend time with rescue agents who hunted poachers and helped protect the animals. She also got to meet Brody who saved her from some dangerous situations and taught her everything about his job which was great for Sarah as an animal rights lawyer. After vacation ends she is is torn about going home when her heart is now in Africa, Brody will have to share his deep feelings to help her decide. I received a complimentary copy and my review is voluntary.

Enjoyed Brody and Sarah's story! Sarah was finally getting to go on safari, but before she even got to the hotel, she was robbed and left to fend off wild animals on her on. I was biting my nails, until Brody showed up to help get her and the taxi driver to safety. Brody was finally where he always wanted to be. Is it possible he found someone to share it with. My nerves got a real ride dealing with a hyena attack and looking for poachers turned kidnappers. If you like clean, suspenseful story, you want go wrong with 'Rescue Agent for Sarah'. I highly recommend. I received this book from the publisher. The thoughts and comments are my own.

Love or almost

Plans changed! Getting held up certainly wasn't the plan of adventure. Left along the roadside, she needs to figure out how to cope. Luckily an agent sees the fire and comes to her rescue. Can this be a sign of what her life could be? As an environmental attorney, her love for animals has always been her focus, now there is another element to this picture. This fast read deals with several issues and brings enlightenment to the reader. Definitely a great story.

A safari - and on the way to the location, the car is stopped, stolen, she is injured and so is the driver. And her phone was stolen. NOW WHAT?? Fortunately a Rescue Agent sees the fire she attempts to make to keep the wild animals away and takes them both to the compound (which she was totally happy about!). And so the love story begins among danger and fun and great food . . . .and through it all God watches out for her! SUCH AN AMAZING BOOK!!!

'It's like coming home for you'

Sarah feels South Africa calling to her and the moment she lands she feels like she has finally reached....home.
Despite the troubles she encounters you can see the happiness, determination and hope she has at being able to help not only the wildlife but WAPA too. Sarah steals your heart aswell as Brody's, a lovely tale of rescue and love found in the most unexpected of places.
I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

I have read almost all of Jenna's books, maybe only one I've missed. I think this was one of her best books ever! I really enjoyed reading about South Africa and the Wild Animal Protection Agency. I learned so much about wild animals and how they are mistreated. I am thankful there really are people in the world that do what they can to help them. This was also a sweet story about how Brody and Sarah met, and fell in love. An enjoyable read.

I enjoyed this book. I liked the setting in South Africa and I liked that the rescue agents were saving big animals. I thought Jenna did a great job describing the scene. I also liked the romance between the main characters. I liked that they cared about similar things and were able to connect through that shared interest.

I received a complimentary book from publishers, publicists, and or authors.  A review was not required and all opinions and ideas expressed are my own.

Excited to be going on a South African safari for a week, Sarah makes her way to the restaurant to grab something to eat before her bus comes. But lots of traffic and noise make it impossible for her to get back across the street to the bus. It leaves without her. Is she going to miss her safari that she saved so long for? Or is she going to encounter something totally amazing?
Great series by Jenna Brandt.

There's plenty of action in this book. Sarah is in South Africa for a safari, but when she lands she misses her bus and has to take a cab to the lodge, where her and her driver are attacked while fixing a flat tire. That's where she meets Brody who works for WAPA. Needless to say they have an adventure. Great story and can't wait for Falcon and Kylie's story. HEA

Jenna Brandt delivers another action packed adventure. Make sure you allow yourself plenty of time to read because you won’t want to put the book down. Road side attacks, poachers and kidnapping are just a few of the adventures within this book.

I was given an ARC copy of this book by the author. I did not receive any compensation. The views expressed are my own.

This book takes you on your own safari adventure along with Sarah who missed her bus and takes a cab where she and the driver get robbed. Brody who works for the Wild Animal Protection Agency comes along and rescues her then proceeds to inform her about the cruelty toward wild animals. Loved this book for the safari itself and also the sweet romance with Sarah and Brody.

Rescue Agent for Sarah is a romance bit is also about protecting wild animals. Set in South Africa, Brody is the agent tracking poachers and Sarah is an environmental lawyer on vacation. Their paths cross and many things are set in motion. I do not want to give anything away so I will just say that you need to start reading this book earlier than I did because I could not put it down.

Review of Rescue Agent for Sarah

This was a very good book and a valid concern. Too many illegal animals are being are being killed or being bought to live in environments that aren't right for them.

I loved that the setting was on an African preserve. Like Sarah, I have always wanted to see the animals in their natural habitat. Jenna described the hyena scene so well I could picture it happening.

African adventure

It was interesting learning about the poaching in Africa and what is being done to prevent it. I liked the excitement when Sarah had to be rescued. Rescue Agent for Sarah is a fun, quick story with great adventure and a touch of romance.

Love to read

I don't know what to say about this book. I liked it but not as much as the others in the series. Not as much depth or just something missing. However I am definitely to read on in the series.

Cute animals

The writing is a little redundant. The story is great with good characters. The characters keep thinking the same things and getting in their own way. The villains are not too believable. They could be improved.
