Veena’s review of Saving Grace (Love Under The Big Sky, Book 4) by Kristen Proby
Contemporary Romance published by Kristen Proby 30 Nov 15
I enjoy conflict as much as anyone else, but this sweet and sexy story, with its sparkling dialogue, just hits the right spot. At the end of the book, I realized that there’s still a place for good old-fashioned romance with scintillating characters who make an emotional connection that sustains them and readers all the way till the end.
I just knew when her friends send Grace for a ski and spa weekend and talk about the billionaire bachelor owner of said lodge that she’s destined to meet and fall in love with him. She impressed me from the get-go with how real she is, klutziness and all.
It’s inevitable that she mistake Jacob for her ski instructor, because, for real, the young college kid he’s speaking to just could not be one. Jacob, of course, steps smoothly into the gap and takes over without a blink, quickly graduating her from bunny to expert in the same short span as he navigates relationship bases.
Grace and Jacob are wonderful protagonists who are just so right for each other. This book is a like a version of chick flick that has the right emotional intensity that sustains a reader from beginning to end. My only regret is that this a short book, being novella length, so I it comes to an end much too quickly. I definitely want to find the earlier books in this series and read them, since I so enjoyed meeting the girls.
Ms. Proby is a relatively new discovery for me, but I love her writing an,d along with the Boudreaux series, which was my introduction to her, I want to go back and read some of her other series.
Grade: A
Summary:
Sparks fly like snowflakes when a klutzy but gorgeous novice crosses skis with a hot resort owner in this tempting tie-in to New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby’s popular Love Under the Big Sky series!
Grace Douglas is on a practice run for her friend Cara Donovan’s bachelorette party ski weekend in Aspen. The problem is, despite living in rugged and picturesque Cunningham Falls, Montana, Grace is the clumsiest person ever born. To prepare for the trip, she is taking lessons at a local ski resort. She just prays that they have an ambulance on standby.
Sexy hotelier Jacob Berkley is ready to play ski instructor, but he quickly discovers that the best place on the mountain for Grace is in the lodge with a hot toddy. Her sense of humor and easy laugh quickly pull him in, and soon he’s determined to help her get off the bunny slope for a fun vacation with her friends. He just didn’t expect their steamy chemistry to trigger an avalanche of desire straight to his heart.
