Rescued by Bailey Bradford


Title: Rescued
Author: Bailey Bradford
Genre: MM Paranormal Romance
Publication Date: March 1, 2010

Gabriel Staley was used to being an outcast in the small town of Shasta, Texas. More concerned with rescuing stray dogs from a cruel death at the hands of the local Sheriff, Gabe focuses on making a difference and standing up for what he believes is right. Mika Blackwell, a shape shifter who was banned from his pack, is new to the outcast status, and not adjusting very well. When Gabe heads out to rescue an injured wolf, he has no idea that his life is about to be eternally altered. As Mika watches the man approach him, he feels the universe tilt and realises that, while he may have lost his pack, he's just found what every shifter longs for - his destined mate. Together, Gabriel and Mika must find their way and fight for their love-from confronting Mika's former pack leader to stopping someone who tries to kill Gabe's best friend, Todd. When Todd's attacker comes after Gabe, Mika is determined to protect his mate at all costs.











A native Texan, Bailey spends her days spinning stories around in her head, which has contributed to more than one incident of tripping over her own feet. Evenings are reserved for pounding away at the keyboard, as are early morning hours. Sleep? Doesn’t happen much. Writing is too much fun, and there are too many characters bouncing about, tapping on Bailey’s brain demanding to be let out. Caffeine and chocolate are permanent fixtures in Bailey’s office and are never far from hand at any given time. Removing either of those necessities from Bailey’s presence can result in what is know as A Very, Very Scary Bailey and is not advised under any circumstances.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gabe was cast out by his parents a long time ago for being gay, his grandparents were lifesavers taking him in and showing him true love and that it's ok to be who he is. With their death he inherited their house and eventually turned the barn into a rescue shelter for stray dogs. When he gets a call about a wolf he never saw Mika coming.

Mika was thrown out of his pack for being gay and left to wonder alone, when he saw Gabriel he knew it was his mate, but how to explain that to him without Gabe running off? With everything he's been through he can't take another blow, but not taking a chance could be the worst thing he's ever done, not that Gabe's letting him go anyways.

This story shows what happens when a person is thrown out of their family because of how they choose to live their lives. Gabe is strong on the outside but inside you can see the pain left from his parents disowning him and their hurtful words. Mika likewise was not only thrown out by one or two people, but his entire pack and you can see what the loss did to him by the way it took time for him to trust Gabe. The two together are so sweet and the way they heal each other shows just how meant to be they are.

This story did very well with explaining the supernatural element and blending it in a great way .Add in some great friends and an attack turned mystery on them and you've got yourself a great mix in this novel.
