Description

Rocky Lionakis has been a wheelchair user since a fall in college. He plays bass guitar in Cornerstone Fellowship's worship band and shares his testimony every week with the campers at Towering Pines summer church camp. At peace with his chair, he has settled into a boring but successful career in technology... but then stunning camp counselor, Gia Rinaldi, enters his life and turns it upside down. Lifelong preacher's kid and occasional wild child, Giavanna Rinaldi, has always learned things the hard way. With a trail of bad choices in her wake, she has finally grown up and found her niche as a student of Christian child psychology. She returns to Camp Towering Pines where she's worked since high school, but unsettling dreams and an unexplained illness lead her to a harrowing discovery. Will Rocky and Gia's budding romance survive her trauma? And is their bold decision an answer from God, or a serious step outside of His perfect will?

After meeting when Rocky suffers a fall but refuses to let Gia help him get back into his chair, the two are attracted right from the start, but it's a developing thing, not 'love at first sight'. Gia is having some unexplained health issues, and when the explanation becomes clear, she has to face buried memories and not-so-well-buried resentment. Leaving the camp they both worked at, she ends up in a hotel with no idea where to go from there. Rocky comes to the rescue, but wants to be able to rescue her more permanently. But is marriage really the answer? And when things seem to be falling apart all round them, will they be able to work together to hold their marriage together?

For some reason I didn't approach this book with particularly high expectations - but I was pleasantly surprised. The writing, setting and characters all drew me in and kept me interested. Watching the characters and their relationships develop was interesting, and I particularly enjoyed the meeting between their respective parents. The resolution was very satisfying, though I'd like to see more of their married life in a future book. Overall, this is an author I'll be looking out for more by. Recommended.
