LOVE this book. LOVED.
I am not a winter sports girl.
I watch it on the Olympics more than anything. I grew up in Atlanta and we went to the beach and I knew one or two families that skiied. Fast forward to college, I went to school in the mountains of North Carolina and I went skiing once. I spent 90% of the time fearing for my life and while being pulled up off my ass by my sweet and patient college boyfriend. A few years ago, I went to Big Sky, Montana and once again, attempted to ski. I LOVED Montana, in fact, I love Colorado and Montana and I'd love to go out there again and watch other people ski and snowboard. My butt was made for sitting on a beach, not sliding down a mountain on it.
Another fun fact about me, I came very close to going to PT school. I ended up getting a degree in sport management and coaching. I spent a fair amount of time in the athletic training room, wrapping ankles and treating injured athletes. So, the rehab and physical therapy aspects of this book were fascinating to me.
Ms. Jordan deftly combined the rehabbing of an elite athlete (physically and mentally) with some super hot passion and romance. That's one thing I really love about her, you always get a great plot and some seriously hot sexy times.
Julia has been burned professionally and personally and her trust, where men are concerned, is pretty much nil. Enter Noah, who is a well- known party hard snow- boarder. I wondered how in the world Ms. Jordan was going to bring these two together and in more ways than just in the biblical sense. There was plenty of that because Noah and Julia had chemistry in spades.
I think what I enjoyed was how the professional relationship was developed into a friendship and then blossomed into a form of trust between them. Developing that kind of trust was a big deal for both of them. Julia was in entrusted with every aspect of Noah's care, his diet and his body. They even began socializing with the same people and she became friends with his friends. Julia needed friends, she needed people she could trust and she also needed someone that believed in her and her abilities.
I enjoyed every bit of this book and I cannot wait for more from this series!!
