I was visiting friends, and this book was sitting on the coffee table. In spare moments I picked it up to read. I had not heard of the author before, yet the book jacket intrigued me, telling that Jill Shalvis' books are well received and making the story seem interesting.
The plot revolves around two people each suffering their own hurts and in need of each other, though they don't know it. Katie Kramer was in a horrific auto accident, the only survivor of a bridge collapse, and has flashbacks nightly in her dreams. Cameron Wilder, in a moment's lack of attention because he was thinking of his girlfriend's cheating, suffers an injury that ends his career as a snowboarder.
Katie feels she must make changes in her life and begin to live life as if it were an adventure, for she knows only too well how quickly it could end. She takes a temporary job in the Sierras for an outdoor adventure business, Wilder Adventures and Expeditions. She has no intention of staying, but plans to move on to her next adventure. Cam shows up in the middle of the night, after being estranged from friends and family, suffering pain, both mental and physical, and finds her in his bed.
And so it begins.
She gets under his skin. She knows just the right way to get past his defenses, learning slowly of his accident and what makes him tick. He's never cared to explain himself to anyone before, not even his family.
Along the way, there is an assorted cast of other characters, including his brother and his aunt -- and his ex-gf. There is both humor and poignancy in the book, and very, very good (and believable) sex scenes as the two fall in love and decide where their lives will go from here.
Perhaps they offer each other both salvation and adventure that will last a lifetime.
I'm going to read another of her books.

Cara Lynn is most likely to be found reading than anything else. Reading is her way to relax, but time is at a premium for her. Lately she's found some audio books that are read extremely well, but she can read to herself so much faster! She promises that next year she will listen to books in the car or when just hanging out at home.

I really enjoyed this book. I’m looking forward to reading book two in the series.
