In Rescue My Heart by Jean Joachim, dog walker Rory Sampson is ran over by cyclist Dr. Hack Roberts.  Since Hack shows no remorse for the accident and Rory is injured, she takes him to court.  The summary of the plot sounded so good. I loved the idea of a dog walker taking on an arrogant doctor.  But the story fell a little short for me.First off I wasn't a huge fan of both of the main characters being in other relationships while they fell for each other. Not a huge fan of bed hopping. I was also annoyed by Rory constantly calling Hack's girlfriend mean names because of her weight.  It is rude to make fun of someone's weight whether someone thinks the person is too skinny or too fat.  I assume the name calling was to show off Rory's cleverness on thinking of so many different names for "skinny."  Instead it just made me think Rory was nothing but a bully.  Hack is a jerk for not defending his girlfriend...yeah Felicia was a "fake" girlfriend but she was still Hack's childhood friend who was doing a favor for him. Instead of saying enough is enough, he thought Rory was funny. Maybe she was...I just didn't get it. Neither of the main characters were very likable. The friends sound promising so I do plan on giving their stories a chance.
