Summary: 3 Stars
STORY BRIEF:
Dione was raped at 18 and fears intimacy and love. She hasn't been with a man since (12 years). She works as a physical therapist with one patient at a time, living with them for months, helping them build and regain the use of their bodies. Blake was a successful engineer who was injured in a mountain climbing accident. He has been in a wheelchair for two years. He has no will to live, doesn't eat, and will die if he doesn't change. His brother-in-law hires Dione to help Blake. She moves in and motivates him by making him angry. She oversees everything in his life, his food, his sleep, his exercise. They end up helping each other heal and falling in love along the way.
REVIEWER'S OPINION:
This is one of Linda Howard's early novels, and it's on the short side. It isn't as good as her later works, but it's ok. Blake is a powerful successful man who gives up rather than fight to recover, which may not be realistic. I wasn't thrilled with Dione's reason for leaving Blake. She inaccurately assumed he didn't love her. I enjoyed reading about the healing process through diet, massage and exercise.
