She's the woman he doesn't remember. He's the man she can't forget.
Bad boy Hank “Hazardous” Lazarus used to have everything: a gorgeous
girlfriend, a career as a freestyle snowboarder and a spot on the US Olympic
team. Nine months ago, after a bad crash in the half pipe, he woke up in the
hospital, unable to move his legs. Now he’s landed there again, but gravity is
not the culprit. With his family pressuring him to try a groundbreaking
treatment, Hank self-medicates with too much tequila instead.
Doctor Callie Anders has the courage to restart a patient’s heart with a
thousand volts of electricity, yet she’s afraid to risk her own. So she doesn’t
confess to her newest patient they met just before the accident, an encounter
that he doesn’t remember. Even as their friendship develops, she won’t admit
that she regrets turning down his dinner invitation, or that her heart stutters
every time those inked shoulders roll through the door of the therapy
department.
With another Vermont winter coming again, Hank needs a hand out from under
the avalanche of his disappointments. If only Callie were brave enough to take
the job.
This book is a standalone novel, no cliffhangers, no prior experience
necessary.
My take...
When I first started FALLING FROM THE SKY, I realized it was book 2 of a
series. Thankfully it is done where you don't have to read book one to enjoy
it. But I will say that after reading just a couple pages and seeing the
characters from book one, I immediately went and bought it. Their story
interested me so much. So if you are just hearing about this series for the
first time, don't think that my review of this book will ruin the first one. I
promise it won't.
I first fell in love with Bowen's writing in THE YEAR WE FELL DOWN. It was
absolutely amazing. The thing I loved most was the fact that the main
characters were in wheelchairs. To me, this was an obstacle I haven't read
before.
And I know what you are probably thinking: Overkill with the wheelchair
plot. I actually thought it would be too. Like the storylines would run
parallel to each other. Not so. I was pleasantly surprised that the author took
it somewhere different making them 2 totally different stories. Job well done.
Romance is another thing this author knows how to write. I love her
characters and I am smitten with the romance she tells. Now while I do favor
the love story between Hartley and Corey (THE YEAR WE FELL DOWN) the most from
Bowen's books, Hank and Callie come in a close second.
Looking forward to reading more and more books by Bowen and cannot wait to
see what fresh and entertaining stories she comes up with next. 5 Most
Definitely Recommend Stars!
