The Rescue, By Nicholas Sparks...
THE RESCUE
When confronted by raging fires or deadly accidents, volunteer fireman Taylor McAden feels compelled to take terrifying risks -- risks no one else in the department would ever take -- to save lives. But there is one leap of faith Taylor can't bring himself to make: He can't fall in love. For all his adult years, Taylor has sought out women who need to be rescued, women he leaves as soon as their crisis is over, as soon as the relationship starts to become truly intimate.
Then, one day, a raging, record-breaking storm hits his small Southern town. Denise Holton, a young single mother, is driving through it when her car skids off the road. With her is her four-year old son, Kyle, a boy with severe learning disabilities and for whom she has sacrificed everything. Unconscious and bleeding, she -- but not Kyle -- will be found by Taylor McAden. And when she wakes, the chilling truth becomes clear to both of them: Kyle is gone.
During the search for Kyle, the connection, the lifeline, between Taylor and Denise takes root. Taylor doesn't know that this rescue will be different from all the others, demanding far more than raw physical courage. That it will lead him to the possibility of his own rescue from a life lived without love. That it will require him to open doors to his past that were slammed shut by pain. That it will dare him to live life to the fullest by daring to love.

I am a 29 year old guy, and I have read great book after great book. One night my girlfriend and I were having some drunk argument about who starred in some movie, and I bet her I would read all the harry potter books if I was wrong. Well I ended up being wrong and I had to read all the harry potter books. I hate the Lord of the Rings and all that fantasy stuff, so I was not excited about this, but I plugged thru the first two books, and by the third Harry Potter book, I was like a junkie. I had to have the next one, and the next one. I lost a bet and had to read a bunch of kids books, and they ended up being my favorite books of all time. There is a reason these books could outsell the bible if they were both released on the same day. I tell you, you can't go wrong with the harry potter series, if you can make it to book 3, you will be a junkie like myself.
