Reading Sandi Wilkins, Break-Away, was a change of genre for me, and I have to confess I wondered if I was going to like this story. I didn't have to worry as the more I read the more I became immersed in the tale between protagonists, Trista and Marcus.I found a story of two people who meet by blind date, looking for love. They have one thing in common - a love of ice skating and use this to ease tensions from their lives, a sort of establishing balance and equilibrium in life.Trista wants to find love, but worries about what effect it will have on her children and their future. Because she is soft and gentle, she hates to hurt other people and so is on her guard. She wants to take things slowly and ensure she is doing the right thingMarcus on the other hand falls for her immediately. I wasn't too sure about his character as he came across as pushy, over-bearing and a control freak. His part made me feel on edge for Trista and her children.The plot is simple but works, and because Sandi sets a good pace the story unfolds at the right speed. Emotional, heart-felt, this is not a sentimental read and the ending will come as a surprise to most.Recommended
