Publisher Description
Who knew fate could twist a tragedy into a second chance at love?
Samantha Winters lives her life the way a good accountant should—measured, deliberate, and safe. After watching her father die in a tragic skiing accident, she decided never to allow risk into her life again. But she didn’t count on falling for Nick Chastain, who embodies everything she doesn’t want in her safely constructed world.
Against Samantha’s warnings, Nick plans a dangerous kayaking trip over spring break. Furious that he’s so careless with his life, she ends their fledgling relationship with harsh words.
Two years later, Samantha is desperately in need of a change. When she learns her grandmother has had an accident and is in need of a caretaker, Samantha quickly packs her bags and heads to Thunder Creek, Idaho. But nothing could prepare her for the surprise awaiting her in her grandmother’s hospital room . . . Nick.
With the charming backdrop of small-town friends, beloved cousins, and a whole church congregation rooting for them, can they set aside the disastrous ending of their first try at love? Has Nick changed enough to meet Samantha in the middle—and can she realize that a risk in love might be worth taking?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hatcher (Another Chance To Love You) creates a joyous, faith-infused tale of recovery and reconciliation. After suffering a head injury while kayaking, Oregon State University wildlife and fisheries professor Nick Chastain has a hard time keeping up with the difficult work of academia and eventually takes a job with an irrigation company in Thunder Creek, Idaho. Soon after arriving, he comes to the aid of an elderly woman who has fallen off a horse and broken her ankle. As it happens, the woman is his ex-girlfriend Samantha's grandmother, and before long Samantha arrives in Thunder Creek to care for her. As Nick integrates into the town, his dwindling faith is bolstered by the active church community, and dinners and excursions around Thunder Creek give Nick and Sam the chance to untangle the web of miscommunication that started with Nick's kayaking accident and ended in heartbreak. Although the repaired relationship evolves slowly, the romantic set-up is convenient to the point of disbelief, and the secondary characters never develop. The bright spot is Hatcher's believable portrayal of Nick's faith evolution as he learns to let go of unhealthy ambitions and desires.

Samantha wanted control in her work and in love. Seeing Nick being careless, for an adventure, she says hash words. Now two years later, see is returning to Thunder Creek, to help her Grand mother. Arriving at the hospital, who does she meet but Nick once again.This was a tender story, of two people who are older, and hopefully realize what they once shared. About forginess and second chances. Her stories are of family, and love a good combination for readers to sit back and enjoy. Given ARC by Thomas Nelson for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.
