MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:
As a fan of sports romances, and someone who's read many of them, I was immediately delighted by the originality of the sport fueling this romance: snowboarding being the sport fueling the story and bringing two very different people together. From there the romance progresses in a similar trajectory, with a few unexpected twists and turns along the way, before ending on a cliffhanger.
Sam Booker is the star of snowboarding, a young stud full of cockiness, who at the start of the story has a life-altering injury change his life irrevocably. For two months he's in a coma with Kate Peters as his nurse which leads to an instant connection building up between them. Sam feels their immediate connection the moment he wakes up, he just needs to convince her of his feelings. With each turn of the page, through words and deeds, he goes out of his way to win Kate's heart. Some acts are romantic, some sweet, while some felt a bit silly and immature. Through everything though he was committed to Kate and I was definitely rooting for him.
Kate Peters is the older woman, someone with a painful past and secrets galore. She has lots of quirks and is someone who often seemed guarded. Being the older woman leant her an air of maturity compared to Sam and it took awhile for me to buy into their romance because of it. As the story progressed though things got steamier and steamier, Kate's secrets got closer to being revealed, and the ability for these two to form a permanent connection was left in the balance. Readers will find themselves entertained by this older woman/younger man tale, left clamoring for more after a dramatic cliffhanger ending, as these two very unique characters and their emotionally intense romance has me rooting for them to find their HEA.
My rating for this is a B+
*I got this book from the author for review in exchange for my honest opinion.
