James "Jamey" Tucker is the new guy in town, working towards a permanent position with the Appleton Fire Station in Pennsylvania. Being the rookie, he's responsible for many tasks and duties within the firehouse. One morning, after battling a particularly nasty blaze, Jamey is commissioned to cook breakfast for everyone. Not having enough supplies, he heads to the local grocery story to gather the necessary items. He wasn't counting on the hot blonde he encounters to find her way into not only is line of vision but his heart, too.Heather Longhurst is an RN at the County Hospital, and works in the pediatric unit. She's grocery shopping for candy canes and cookie dough for the Christmas party for her kids. When she gets a little help at the cash register from the hot firefighter behind her, she know he has her - hook, line, and sinker.  After Heather extends Jamey an invitation to the Christmas party at the hospital on Saturday,and he accepts,  both parties continue on to their respected destinations.Jamey is then informed that he has weekend and holidy duty from now until after the first year - which includes the Christmas party at the Hospital this coming Saturday.  Knowing he may blow his chance with Heather he informs her that he'll be unable to attend Saturday.  Will Jamey be able salvage what small amount of a potential relationship he has with Heather?Santa to the Rescue was a very cute, clean, romantic Holiday short story.  Both characters are easy to like and they've been written very well.  The strong connection and potential of getting to know each other gives Jamey's inability to keep his promise to Heather about the party the strained emotions needed to keep the reader engaged and hoping for a happy ending.  Jamey's actions through the remainder of story are genuinely felt and believable.  I certainly rooted for the happy ending and that Jamey would somehow make things right.If you're looking for a wonderfully written short story of about 60 pages, make sure to pick this up. Santa to the Rescue is a feel-good story that will fill you with romance and holiday spirit.Review Copy Courtesy Of:  Entangled Publishing, at no cost in exchange for an honest review.
