Second in Sarina Bowen's Gravity series this books starts up about a year or so after the last one finished and it all about Willow's best friend Callie.
Doctor Callie Anders has the courage to restart a patient’s heart with a thousand volts of electricity, yet she’s afraid to risk her own. So she doesn’t confess to her newest patient they they met just before the accident, an encounter that he doesn’t remember.
Bad boy Hank “Hazardous” Lazarus used to have everything: a gorgeous girlfriend, a career as a freestyle snowboarder and a spot on the US Olympic team. Nine months ago, after a bad crash in the half pipe, he woke up in the hospital, unable to move his legs. Now he’s landed there again, but gravity is not the culprit.
Much like the first book I found it an easy and enjoyable read

Spoiler
even without Hank "miraculously" and completely unrealistically being able to walk again. It was a good story about accepting yourself as you are today instead of wishing for the past or a different future. I think if the book had ended any other way you wouldn't have seen as much character growth in the lead.
Love this book, how it talks of disability , great story!
It's been a while since I read this, so forgive the short and vague review.
I remember the hero ended up being disabled and it brought his Olympic snowboarding dreams to a close. But Hank and Callie made a really cute couple and they overcame a lot together.

Read all in one sitting on a Sunday evening. Not as sports-focused as I was thinking, but a good read overall. Very believable characters (for the most part, I'm not sure how much I'm buying that Hank is a great cook and violin player as well as a champion snowboarder!).
I think I've got the first book sitting on my Kindle still, so I'll be moving that up the TBR queue shortly.

Actually, this is the first of Sarina's books I did not like. It felt haphazardly glued together and totally awkward. What was it with the violine? The farm house? The quirky physical therapist? The detailed description of snowboard movie scenes? I didn't feel the love betweet the two, too, and Callies insecurities tried my patience a few times too often.
fast-paced
Thank you for writing this story and normalizing a typically uncomfortable topic for most. Having spent the majority of my adult life around disability sport and person's with disabilities your description of Hank's daily life and challenges for the first year following his SCI in addition to the both normal and unique issues faced when in a relationship with someone with a disability was appreciated.
Second time through, this time on audio book. This story has significant meaning for me and the types of stories that should be told more regularly.
This was a different kind of romance. I loved that it is not a typical romance, the hero is in a wheelchair and the heroine is a doctor. They way he chases after her to get her to go on a date is cute. a great story plot and fully developed characters that make you root for them until the end.
