Desperate to escape and protect her younger sister, she does the only thing she can think of to hide—become a mail order bride and mother to two young children. Louise knows nothing of mothering or managing a home, and it’s sure to be the perfect cover.
But when Louise arrives at her destination, she’s surprised to learn she’s not the only one with a secret. With peril surrounding them, will the man she’s supposed to marry help once he discovers her past and the danger she’s brought to his quiet life? Or will the secrets from his past return to hurt them both?

So many secrets!
I loved Louise's story, we have already had Mattie's book earlier this year, so to finally get the second half of the story is awesome.
Louise, Jake, Ellie and Phil are such a sweet family, sharing love, laughter and hope, they prove that family can be created as long as love is given freely.
An lovely read on Kindle Unlimited.

The story timeline was confusing. It takes place on 1912 around the Titanic voyage and sinking. The FBI is a part of the story, but the Bureau of Investigation aka BOI or BI, founded in 1908, did not get the name FBI until 1935.
At the beginning of the story, I was confused as to the nationality of Louise and Matilda, why they were in England, and how Matilda was to travel “back home,” wherever that was. Their train trip to meet their mail-order husbands was disjointed, not really sure where they went until close to the end when a state was mentioned.
The story overall was good, so many loose threads were a distraction to me.

Louise and her younger sister must escape the man Louise was supposed to marry, so they go aboard their cruise ship under assumed names to escape the fiancé and his criminal associate. But unfortunately, it's the Titanic! This story would have been interesting enough with just the two young women fleeing danger, but Sarah Lamb takes us aboard that iconic ship, as well. Forget about having a chance at love (this is a romance novel)--will the two young women even survive, and if so, how? This is another great story from a fine author.

Amazing story
I previously read Mathilda's story and was enthralled. Louise's story was very thrilling to read as well. In glad that the two stories meshed together so well since it has been awhile since I read Mathilda's story. Louise's story had some surprises that I didn't see coming and was such a n interesting story that I read it through in one afternoon. I highly recommend both of these stories. They make you feel as though you actually know the sisters personally.

I love this series. This book is a companion book to the 7th book of the series, Matilda. The two sisters survive the Titanic and separate to become mail order brides once they arrive in New York City. There is just one problem, they were unsuccessful in leaving their problems behind in England. Sarah Lamb gives us romance, danger, humor, and a few twists. I was glad to get “the rest of the story”.

I really enjoyed this historical read about two sisters who find themselves in a situation that called for quick thinking. Louise and her sister Mathilda take a ride on the fated Titanic and get rescued by the Carpathia ship. They arrive in New York and head west to become mail order brides. Jake is a shop keeper and undercover FBI looking for a helpmate for his children. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat wanting to know what happens from chapter to chapter.

3½ stars.
This was an interesting story but very short and wrapped up very quickly. The way the mail order bride aspect was dealt with did not seem feasible. Even if they didn't go through an agency, but started correspondence directly, I've never read of a mail order bride sending a telegram to say they on their way without any form of correspondence or anything. Seems odd. And this applied to both sisters! What are the chances? I still enjoyed it though.

Louise: Rescue Me - (Mail-Order Brides) Book 16
I enjoyed this book so much, it's the first time I've read a book by Author Sarah Lamb. This book has a sweet and different storyline, intriguing characters and with bits of suspense, it kept me contended and involved from beginning to the end. Will be checking her other books out! Recommend. JudyE

Good
I like how it weaves the Titanic into the story. A good read, not your usual run-of-the-mill stuff. Plenty of tension and quick thinking by Louise to rescue them from dire straits. The bad guys don't seem overly bright, but it's a good read with a satisfying ending. Nice and clean too. Want to read more if they are like this one. A good escapist afternoon read.

Sweet and exciting romance
I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this book since I'd had it in my Kindle library long enough to forget the blurb. It's an exciting adventure that kept me eager to keep reading, and an adorably sweet romance that develops quickly, yet believably. I really enjoyed it!

Titanic Trouble
When an evildoers' deeds stretch across the Atlantic, can Louise protect herself and her sister? Running from a forced marriage into an arranged one, was she going from the frying pan into the fire? And what about her sister, Mathilda? Obviously, if I answered these questions you wouldn't need to read the book, and you really want to because it's a lot of fun.

Good Story
Louise and Mattie have become young women who lost their patents and are in dire straights financially. Through their father's attorney, an arranged marriage was made for Louise. Turns out the man was a wanted felon. The story will keep your interest from the very beginning.

Secrets
Louise: Rescue Me was a good story to read. We have already met the two sisters, Louise and Mathilda, in the book Mathilda: Rescue Me. Now we follow Louise after they split up. Louise also arrives in a town to become a mail order bride. Trouble is sure to follow her, but can’t seem to tell Jake her secret. It seems that Jake has a secret too. Loved it!

I enjoyed the book! This is the story of Jake and Louise. Louise is the sister of Mathilda (Rescue Me Brides #7). There is action and excitement near the end. I highly recommend reading this book (and reading Mathilda if you haven’t already read it)!

Great book
I really enjoyed this book. I loved the children almost as much as Louise. I'm glad everything worked out and Louise got her happily ever after. I recommend this book.

I very much enjoyed this story. Mail order brides are always intriguing and the story are so different. This one was short and delightful.

I think the author just tried to do too much. She threw in the titanic then the mail order bride felt like an after thought. It was just okay. I wasn't a huge fan.
