Book Description:
Five years ago, Laura Townsend's life was nearly destroyed when a head injury impaired her ability to use language and forced her to abandon a brilliant career. Despite her difficulties, however, she never lost her vivacious spirit or sunny disposition. Now she has a great new job at an animal clinic - and a handsome new boss who fills her heart with longing. But veterinarian Isaiah Coulter deserves a woman who can meet his needs. Battling her feelings, Laura decides that sometimes a woman must love a man enough to walk away...
When Isaiah first hired Laura, he wasn't expecting her to be such a breath of fresh air. Impressed by her healing touch - and captivated by her dazzling beauty - Isaiah finds himself falling in love. And he'll move heaven and earth to convince Laura that she's the woman he needs...the only one who can bring joy to all his days.
Rating: 4 Stars-Loved it
Everything about the novel was great! A very enjoyable read.
Review:
My Sunshine was about finding love and overcoming all obstacles to be together, which is what I expected. The majority of the books I have read by Catherine Anderson have one of the main characters with a disability, usually the woman. The stories are very inspiring and educational. I have learned more about some disabilities I knew existed, but never gave a second thought to.
Laura Townsend had a great job, lots of friends, a boyfriend, and a future, but she lost them all after an accident left her disabled. She was an environmental scientist, incredibly smart with a great future. Now, she has trouble saying words with more than two syllables, she can't read because she has trouble with letters, and can barely write. I really admire Laura's determination that took her from not understanding anything or being able to speak to speaking in full sentences.
Isaiah is instantly attracted to Laura. Laura brings something to his life that he had been missing. Being surrounded by family, he has seen his brothers and sister fall in love. He wants that for himself and he thinks he can have that with Laura.
The romance part of the novel was cute. The suspense part of the plot was obvious. Someone is trying to get Laura fired and I thought the villain was kind of obvious. I often feel this way about Anderson's books, but I read her books for the feel-good romance, not the suspense. I really enjoyed this novel. If you are looking for an easy fluffy romance, I suggest you try out Catherine Anderson.
