About the book:
Quirky Fiona McGrath loves her job as a Child Life Specialist at a Dunedin, Florida hospital. As a former foster child, she understands trauma and wants to ensure no child ever faces the same kind of fears she once did. But are fears truly in the past?
Gabe Cavenaugh’s life is right on schedule. As the youngest assistant Chief Financial Officer in the hospital’s history, he has much to prove, but he’s confident he can do anything he’s asked. After all, he’s secure in his faith and has the constant support of his family.
When Gabe is directed to make cuts in order to balance the hospital’s budget, his search leads him to the Child Life Program and to Fiona. How can this crazy, hat-wearing woman, who rides around on a sparkly scooter possibly be a vital member of the medical team?
As Fiona works to persuade Gabe about her job’s necessity, he begins to see there’s more to her and her work with young patients than wacky clothes.
But will she be enough to save her program? And could she possibly be enough for a man like Gabe?
My review:
This was an enjoyable story about a fun lady with a job you don't usually hear about. I really enjoyed learning about this unique job and what a difference they make in the lives of children. I also liked that issues were portrayed, such as panic attacks, and coping strategies were shown for that along with therapy sessions Fiona has because of the trauma she had gone through growing up. It was nice to see someone who wasn't perfect and didn't have it all together. I loved Fiona immediately; she was funny and caring and put the kids first, even if she looked silly doing it. I hard a harder time with Gabe. I liked that he wanted to find out what a child life specialist does before cutting the job but he seemed so stubborn about what he believed about the job. He also was quick to jump to conclusions about Fiona's intentions and would accuse her of things. He also seemed indecisive about his feelings for Fiona. I finally warmed up to him as he warmed up to her. They both had a strong faith though Fiona had a harder time accepting that she was enough, that God's promises were for her and that circumstances weren't her fault. There were a few good conversations about that. There was some suspense and some sweet romance. I would recommend this book if you like fun contemporary romance with a hint of serious issues thrown in.
