When a tropical storm serves up a second chance at love for a once-burnt-twice-shy kind of guy…
Champion surfer Ford Anderson is a classic shy guy. He’s far more comfortable riding the next big wave than he is braving the perils of dating. So when his best friend and self-proclaimed wingman tries to wheedle him into going on a blind date, he turns him down flat. A mere few hours later, a news … flat. A mere few hours later, a news alert identifies his would-be dinner date as the woman stranded on a sinking yacht.
Though he’s certified to handle water rescues, Ford can’t help feeling guilty, knowing the lovely marine biologist would be safely enjoying a meal on dry land if he’d asked her out like he was supposed to. With a storm brewing and the water turning treacherous, there aren’t many surfers who can handle the kinds of waves blowing in. In fact, he knows only one surfer skilled enough to handle the mission — him.
Looks like Ford will be getting to meet his brilliant and beautiful blind date, after all!

This book was ok. I liked Ford’s character but the blind date not so much. Liked the rescue scene where he had to surf out during a storm to rescue her. Short sweet story. HEA.
Loved the dialogue in this one.
The characters were very similar in wanting to avoid a certain type of match-up. They clicked right away and it felt like looking in on friends.
A really good short story of love and faith. Ford wasn’t looking for love, but after he rescued Shea, it may happen. Can they both have love, and can God help Shea mom of her cancer..
When a national surfing champion decides it is time to give back to others, he joins a search and rescue team that uses specially trained K-9 dogs. He is a new Christian and his first rescue is going to put his faith in God to use when a boating victim is caught just off the coast line in a storm. The only way to save the woman is to put his surfing skills to use. An entertaining short read.
A good book to read. 🙂 Shorty and sweet.. you’d definitely ask for more. Lol. I wish it was longer but I love imagining their what happens next on their love story.
A charming short story that involves a water rescue worker surfer dude and a wealthy college graduate. The fun part is that Ford turned down a blind date and he ends up rescuing her. The sparks are flying and they realize they ate just right for each other. I received a complimentary copy and I am voluntarily reviewing
I love these “rescue stories”! They always leave a smile on my face and a satisfying feeling in my heart. People who do rescues are very heroic and I appreciate their courage. Although Ford Anderson has been a “celebrity” in his own right as a world champion surfer, he’s still a shy individual. He’s been burned in the relationship dept. and isn’t excited about jumping back on that wagon so decides to skip out on a blind date invitation when his roommate offers one. However, shortly after that, he finds himself rescuing his “blind date” from the churning waters of the ocean as her yacht is about to sink! Of course he doesn’t know it’s her! He finds out Shay is the woman he was supposed to go on the date with and they hit it off immediately. I enjoyed both these characters and the sweetness of the romance.
Loved Ford and Shay’s story. Ford had been dumped by his long time girlfriend. Shay was tired of being guys conquest just because of who her father was. I read this in one sitting, in the middle of the night. Kept telling myself, “Just one more chapter, then I’ll go to sleep.” It was that good. If you like clean inspirational stories, you will love ‘The Blind Date Rescue “. I received this book from the publisher. The thoughts and comments are my own.
A sweet story of an unexpected meeting that was really meant to be!
Ford Anderson was a champion surfer and had just gone through a terrible breakup. Now all he wanted to do was train with the Disaster City Search and rescue and have some down time. But an unexpected rescue of a girl stranded on a boat in the storm, turns into an instant attraction.
Shay is the daughter of a famous Astronaut, wealthy and just trying to get through school and earn her degree, when she gets stranded on her boat in a storm. Being rescued by Ford Anderson is an unexpected happening.
Both need someone to care for them just for themselves. Not because of who they are or how much money they have. Can these two actually find love? Loved that they both were relying on their faith and prayers to help lead them through.. Truly enjoyed every word!
I normally read longer books, but this is by one of the authors that I know I will like her books, so I read it and really enjoyed it! A surfer saves a girl from the ocean during a storm and sparks fly between them! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romance!
Ford is a famous surfing champion who works as a volunteer for search and rescue. He has sworn off dating wealthy women after being dumped by a reality tv star. Shay is the daughter of a wealthy astronaut. Ford rescues Shay after she is dumped into the storm tossed ocean after the engine on her yacht stalls out. There was an instant attraction between them.
Loved Ford’s story!! He doesn’t do blind dates anymore. He’s a little irritated his wingman friend keeps pestering him. He’s tired of the women who only want to meet him because of his bank account. Little does he know, the girl his friend wants to fix him up with has a much bigger bank account, and enough reasons to avoid the spotlight as he does. When he meets her unexpectedly, the sparks of attraction are there. She’s afraid to tell him who she is, even though he’s told her honesty is tops. When she does finally tell him, he’s not as upset as she thought he’d be, since he’d had time to think and pray. He’s a new Christian, she’s renewing her faith after her terrifying ordeal that Ford rescues her from. Read the book to find out her name, how they meet, and everything in between!!!
I received a complimentary copy of this book, was not required to leave a review, and the opinion expressed is my own.
This is a short, easy to read story & very predictable. I was not very impressed with it, however.
