My Review
Grace is heartbroken when her best friend dies. She has always been a loner, but now she really has no one else in her life. She prefers getting lost in a good book than going on adventures. Then, she meets David and all that changes.
David is a kayak instructor, and he manages to convince Grace to join in on one of their classes. Grace surprises herself by agreeing to go. David has his own demons to conquer. The last thing he wants is a commitment, but he can’t get his mind off Grace.
This is a sweet, poignant romance. It is inspirational and left me feeling warm and fuzzy with a few tears, too. It totally grabbed my heart. It's a very short novella, but it packs much drama into it.
I never read this author before, but I’ll be sure to check out the rest of the books in this series. I don’t think it matters what order they are read. It didn’t matter to me, and I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
