A Needful Heart (Contemporary Romance)

Book Description

Matt Calvin has watched Gina Carruthers sway up and down the doctor's office hallway once a month for four long years. It’s time to do something about this fascination he has with her. He knows he's not relationship material, but he doesn’t expect it to get that far. He just wants to talk to her, and put himself out of his misery once and for all. Things never go as planned, though, and when fantasy crashes and burns into reality, Gina pays the price.

Gina doesn’t blame Matt for her injury, but she is appreciative when he steps into her crazy life to help out. Proximity fires the sudden attraction between them and Gina can’t believe she’s overlooked the sexy carpenter for this long. Tattooed and intimidating, he’s not the type she's normally drawn to, but something about him tugs at her heartstrings. 

When a dire situation develops and they have to save a little boy, Matt loses control of his tightly held emotions. Though his heart aches, Matt walks away, both for Gina’s safety and his own sanity. It’s up to Gina to convince him love can heal any heartache.

Book Review

Love doesn't belong with men like Matt. He's damaged goods, and he has no right to fantasise about a normal life with Gina. Doesn't stop him from longing for her and thinking about her for nearly four years before he actually decided to man up and talk to her. That's when he ends up banging into her and she ends up with a fracture! He's feeling guilty and wants to take care of her. She's trying to let him know its okay, but she does need some help.

As they spend time together and Gina discovers more about this silent and string survivor of child abuse, she begins to have strong feelings for him. Then she gets drawn into the ugly situation of the little boy next door going through his own private hell. Just as the abusive guardian is about to cause problems for them Matt steps in and saves them. He also decides to step right out of their lives. As they obviously need someone better than him.

Its a well written book about Matt fighting with his own inner demons while Gina makes up her own mind on the subject of love and relationships. A good read.
