review 1: 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. This book started off beautifully. A devastated girl meets an interesting quirky guy on an airplane flight to Colorado. The girl's long time, Olympic hopeful skiing boyfriend was killed a few months ago in a skiing accident and now the girl has promised his parents that she will clean out his apartment in Colorado so they don't have to face it. Her fellow airplane passenger is a party boy, best friends with a big name actor and son of a multi-billionaire shipping magnate. His high living lifestyle has caused him some major health problems including major open heart surgery. He is kind of lost, trying to put his life together.They have an immediate attraction to each other. She is still trying to overcome the grief of her boyfriend's death b... moreut she finds herself opening up with the attraction she feels toward Eric, her airplane acquaintance. One thing leads to another and she suddenly starts believing that Eric was the recipient of her boyfriend's donated heart and that explains her attraction to him.When the book started to go back and forth with their on and off again relationship and dealing with the real world, it got a little long. A third of this book probably could have been done away with and this would have been a 5 star read. As it was it was enjoyable and I really liked the two main characters.
review 2: A very different love story twist on a tragedy/organ donation story...Ren and Eric meet in the most random way and forge a beautiful friendship that has true love woven throughout but will they ever get it together and feel the same way at the same time??Beautiful story, wonderful characters, literally read this in a matter of 6 hours as I could not put down - thank you June Gray/Wilette Youkey for this powerfully moving story.... less
