3.5 starsDon't you love when books surprise you? And I don't mean with fancy twist and turns. I mean, I really love it when a book can suck me in. Obviously, I was interested in this story or I wouldn't have taken it for review, but I was quickly pulled into Pippa's life and I was really sad when the book was over. I think that's a good sign. Don't you?I could relate to Pippa. Maybe it's because I was an athlete, so I understood her determination. I also generally liked her though too. After taking a year off from skiing, she makes her comeback. It's not as easy as she thought it would be. Not just physically, but mentally. She's also surrounded by the people she's been training with for years. Those same people were friends with the loved ones Pippa lost. Memories, new competition, and new love interests can be challenging to balance and confront.I loved the way Pippa and Hunter met. They meet at the airport, both on their way to the training center in Utah. He's cocky, charming, and not at all the kind of guy that Pippa would typically pick. They found a connection through sports, but it went deeper than that. There's more to Hunter than just the all-star snowboarder. I fell for him pretty hard.Overall, I really liked Carry Your Heart, but I will mention that it needs some good editing. That said, I think the story has good direction and I'm anxious to get my hands on the second book, Crash Into Me. I'd definitely recommend giving this one a try.
