A Healing Spirit
Melissa A. Hanson
A freak ski accident brings nineteen-year old Mia Kinney within minutes of death. Hurt and scared, Mia is calmed by the southern drawl and clear green eyes of her rescuer.
Twenty-one year old Dylan Blackburn is one of the first Ski Patrol members on the scene. As his patient is airlifted to the local trauma center, he can’t shake her from his thoughts.
As Mia fights for her life, Dylan, is haunted by the blond hair beauty, and knows he needs to make sure she’s going to be okay.
With a troubled past Dylan has vowed never to completely open himself up to another girl, but Mia continues to knock down every wall he’s constructed. When his past arrives at his front door and threatens once again someone that he loves, will Dylan be able to save Mia yet again? Or will he be too late this time?
A story of love, friendship, and the determination to turn a horrible experience into something worthwhile.
[rating=3]
A great story of how a support and love can see a person through a traumatic experience. There are two stories of healing here – one of Mia’s recovery from the physical aspects of her accident and subsequent fears and the healing of Dylan from his troubled past.
However, the story kept moving between too many narrators and that got a bit confusing.
Disclosure : I received an ARC of the book in exchange for an honest review.
When the synopsis mentioned Mia was a blonde, I thought to myself, “I don’t recall her being blond.” But then I looked back at the cover and saw they didn’t show the top half of the characters anyway… (Must have coffee!)
This looked fairly good and I miss my skiing days. TBR’d on Goodreads.
Yeah! Not that her hair colour matters. Good story line but complicated by too many narrators, LuAnn.
