Corey Callahan's dream of going to college never included a wheelchair. But a hockey accident has left her with a spinal cord injury. Corey refuses to say her life is over; and decides to move forward with her admission to Harkness College. She is assigned a huge handicap accessible room which includes a wonderful roommate. Even better, the hot guy across the hall in the other accessible room catches her interest. Adam Hartley broke his leg in two places during a hockey scrimmage. Corey and Hartley bond over their mutual use of wheelchairs and their love of hockey. Too bad he already has a beautiful girlfriend.
This is the first book in Sarina Bowen's Ivy Years series. I'm not a huge fan of contemporary romance, so it took me a while to get into this story. I liked Corey from the first page. She wanted to get away from her mother and father who were totally driving her nuts while they tried to do everything for her. She just wanted some independence from them. Hartley was also likeable. His biggest downfall was his blind spot concerning his trophy girlfriend. The secondary characters were fun and will (hopefully) get their own books in the series.
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Nick Podehl and Saskia Maarleveld. Both did a terrific job. My rating: 4 Stars.
