A Wonderful Story

Change of Heart is Marcia King Gamble's sixth full contemporary romance book.The author brings to us a beautiful written story about the only black skier on the U.S. Olympic team who suffers from a serious accident on the slopes, this hero is Beaumont Hill who is referred to as "Beau" in the story. Beau is matched with Shayna DaCosta, as his heroine, who is a former gymnast now a physical therapist assigned to his case.Now that is the preliminaries of this story. Now, let me express my thoughts on the overall book.Most readers of romance books look for a certain quality when reading. It is very important that it includes certain components to make the well investment worth our while, because for those of us like myself who are serious avid readers, spending money on books that are not up to par, so we say is not worth it to us.Well, this book is well worth the investment. Why? Let me list the reasons.The book has 282 pages in 25 chapters. Since the author has to cover quite a bit of territory in 282 pages, the story is very fast-paced, like one of those All-Nighters.The author does not make us wait half way through the book before she has the hero and the heroine meet for the first time. Beau and Shayna meet in Chapter 2, page 29 to be exact.The book offers us a good sense of humor and lots of laughter. There is a great deal of dialogue that occurs between the hero and the heroine. The secondary characters presented in this story add seasoning and flavor to the story that does not take away the focus of Beau and Shayna.There are two sub-plots going on with the developing relationship of Beau and Shayna but never do they over-play the major storyline. As a matter of fact, these sub-plots presented, allow both Shayna and Beau to interact more.Now in any romance story, there has to be some intimacy. This book does not fall short of the sizzling love scenes, which are very powerful.I strongly recommend this book, it is a well worth investment, especially to those who are seious avid readers of romance.While you're visiting this site, check out some of the other novels and short story collections by this author. There is a male secondary character who is an attorney, who I hope is considered for a book, cause I liked his role in this story.Thanks Marcia for a wonderful story with Beau and Shayna!!
