Sasha has had a hard time of it lately, as an attack has left her fearful and distrustful of men. When a snowstorm causes an accident, she stumbles to the nearest residence. Finding it locked and no one home, she tries to get in through a window and gets stuck. When Forrest Tucker comes home to find a pair of legs hanging out of his window, he's concerned about her injuries and her skittish behavior. As a fellow student, Forrest quickly discovers why Sasha acted the way she did, and even when the situation makes trouble for him, he's determined to help Sasha through it.I wasn't paying attention when I bought this and hadn't realized this was a Christian romance. While I wouldn't normally wander into this genre on purpose, I still read and enjoyed the simple romance.I thought Forrest was a freak of nature; it's hard to imagine someone that self-less actually existing. Sasha is a sympathetic character but the best thing about this is that she's a work in progress from beginning to end; she's taking the steps towards moving past her experience rather than letting it rule her life. Yes, she starts out skittish and jumpy, but that's to be expected as it reads as if the incident is fairly recent. It's only by the gentle coaxing of Forrest that she finally starts to move on, and that made this a very satisfying reading experience for me.*This is a clean romance.
