Jack Mitchell is an ex-football player
living a secluded life in a small town. That is until he
runs into Malaina, or more accurately she falls through the
floor of the dance hall on his property. He had been hurt
by fame in the past and Jack liked his life exactly as it
was now, until the woman he had come to trust blurted out
his secret.
Malaina Williamson is an English
professor, but is looking for a change. When she decides
that the dance hall, a town landmark, would make a great
store she cannot help but explore it. Falling though the
floor had not been in her plans. When the angry Jack pulls
her up from the hole they find themselves growing closer
despite Malaina’s family’s warnings for her to stay away
from him.
Take My Hand by Angie Willis is a sweet
romance filled with a lot of funny moments, including a
scene where Malaina builds a sand castle in the sand trap of
a golf course. I like the growth of the main characters in
this book. Malaina needs to gain control of her own life
and do what makes her happy and Jack needs to let other
people into his world. It was nice to see their story told
in such a charming way. |
