Headstrong. Rachel Kinsey fits the description perfectly. The divorced soccer mom may be ditzy and as sympathetic to losers as a charity, but she knows what she wants. A man completely different from her unreliable ex-husband and the outrageous characters she’s usually doomed to attract.

Enter Jim Landers, the ideal candidate. An accidental encounter introduces her to the tall, dark attorney who loves soccer and kids. The only problem? He’s not prepared for a ready-made family and a woman as comfortable as a beloved sweater rather than a beauty queen. A woman whose kindness, enthusiasm for life, and unguarded honesty may disturb a man who values order, perfection, and serenity. Jim turns to the flawless yet distant Donna as a substitute for Rachel.

She should show him how much he means to her, but rejection from an absent father and a capricious ex-husband may have ruined Rachel’s ability to connect to Jim Will she risk herself, her son and their future by revealing how much Jim means to her?

A touching, tender tale full of gentle humor, about thinking too much and feeling too little. Rachel must learn to be heart-strong in order to find her soul mate.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Bonnie McCune credits her tenacity for the successes in her life. Since fifth grade, she has been determined to be a writer. A Saint Comes Stumbling In was her first published novel, but her interest in writing led to her career in nonprofits doing public and community relations and marketing. She’s worked for libraries, directed a small arts organization and managed Denver’s beautification program. Simultaneously, she’s been a free-lance writer with publications in local, regional, and specialty publications for news and features. Her main interest now is fiction writing, and her pieces have won several awards. Her civic involvement includes grass-roots organizations, political campaigns, writers’ and arts’ groups, and children’s literacy. For years, she entered recipe contests and was a finalist once to the Pillsbury Cook Off. A special love is live theater. Had she been nine inches taller and thirty pounds lighter, she might have been an actress. For reasons unknown (an unacknowledged optimism?), she believes that one person can make a difference in this world. McCune lives in Denver, Colorado, where she’s been married to the same man forever and has two children and three grandchildren. Read more about Bonnie at www.BonnieMcCune.com.

5,0 su 5 stelle Heart-strong by Bonnie McCune is not a typical romance story
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 23 agosto 2013
Acquisto verificato
Rachel Kinsey is a short, plump, semi-chaotic paralegal who can see the good in everyone. She runs on her emotions more than her head; heart-strong, not head-strong, and perhaps that’s why she’s dated so many of the wrong men. One day, she bumps into a stranger at the food store and feels an automatic attraction for the man who shares her opinions on the high cost of food. She assumes she’ll never see him again, but when her son comes home from soccer injured, he’s in the company of the stranger, a guy named Jim who has been helping the team.
Jim has also felt an attraction for the strange woman he met at the grocery, although he can’t figure out why. She isn’t anything like the ideal woman he has logically selected in an itemized list of attributes. When they recognize each other, they begin to date.
But this isn’t a typical romance. Jim isn’t ready to commit, and starts dating another woman, Donna, on the side. Donna fits his list of attributes more than Rachel does, and he goes back and forth between the two. It isn’t a love triangle so much as a case of indecision, being torn between logic and emotion, and not knowing what it is that he really wants.
The book is only six chapters long, making it a pleasant four-hour read. The love scenes are limited to kisses, and the attraction is based more on friendship than physique. It doesn’t follow the usual plot development for a romance novel. Actually, it’s more in keeping with “Bridges Over Madison County”. It’s about making up your mind, exploring what is in your heart, and learning to accept people just the way they are, faults and all.

Rachel, a single mother, makes a connection with a stranger at the grocery store. The connection is strong enough that she goes to the store when she doesn't need anything, hoping she'll see him again. Jim, the stranger, feels the connection, as well; he goes home and draws the woman's portrait. The two strangers continue to miss each other by mere minutes in the grocery store. Lo and behold, Jim was a semi-pro soccer player who hangs out and helps kids with their soccer skills at the park. (As a mother, this didn't ring true to me; I'd have been at that park in a heart-beat to see who the strange, single, childless man was, and why he was hanging around the kids when he wasn't a coach. Call me over-protective.)

I have to admit, I'm baffled by all the 4- and 5-star reviews on this little novella. I was torn between 2- and 3-stars, but Amazon's definition for a 3-star rating is "It's OK". Rachel is, quite frankly, loud and obnoxious. She knows little about soccer and yet she gets in the coach's face when he pulls her son out of a game; when Jim, who's at the game with them, points out that the coach was right to pull the boy out, Rachel goes and sits by herself, lying on her stomach at times, like some pouting little kid. I'm a pretty free spirit, but I can honestly say I never stretched out on the bleachers at one of my children's athletic events.

Then we have Jim, who's just a snooty Mama's boy. He thinks Rachel is obsessed with money (she's not, she's just a single mother on a budget); in truth, Jim is the one who's an elitist with his own idea of the "perfect" woman, and the more he gets to know Rachel, the more he thinks she's not it.

Enter Donna, a model-gorgeous, professional divorcee, mother to one of the other players on the soccer team with Rachel's son. Jim, during the game in which Rachel is pouting, moves closer to lovely blonde Donna and the next thing you know, they're off on a little weekend jaunt to Vail, where -- naturally -- Donna is an amazing skier and can light the fire in seconds, blah, blah, blah.

More confusion, in the form of Ryan, the coach of the soccer team, ensues. Ryan and Rachel begin seeing each other. So now we have Rachel and Jim, Jim and Donna and Rachel and Ryan. I know, try to keep up. SPOILER ALERT: At Christmas, Rachel invites BOTH men to a little gathering at her apartment. She decides THAT's the time and place to talk to both men; she plans to tell Ryan she only sees him as a friend, and tell Jim she wants to see more of him. Ryan is okay with her announcement and tells her he feels the same way. Rachel later finds her sister and Ryan wrapped around each other; I saw this coming, but still found it seriously oogy.

If you're still interested in reading this book, I won't ruin the end for you. Suffice it to say, after finding nothing likable about any character in the story, I didn't really care about who ended up with whom. Another reviewer gushed about how wonderful and refreshing it was to read a romance in which the H/h were less than perfect, physically. While I agree with that, unfortunately, they had personalities to go with their imperfect appearances. Rachel, the immature, loud, obnoxious mess and Jim, the snobby, self-important, elitist attorney. Blah.

4,0 su 5 stelle A Cute Story About Realistic People

Some enchanted evening, you may meet a stranger... In Heart-strong, the chance encounter happens at the supermarket, not some exotic locale. I don't know about you, but I spend a lot more time buying groceries than island hopping! Jim and Rachel are people I could identify with because McCune makes them seem so real. Their doubts, blunders, and frustrations sound just like something I or a good friend could do/have done. This is a quick, fun read. I highly recommend it!

This captivating story with near misses and almost lost chances finds Jim Landers and Rachel Kinsey in a chance meeting at the market. They don't exchange names and there is no way to find each other again.

After their brief meeting, the couple is brought together by her son's soccer team. Jim finally meets Rachel when he brings her son, Scott, home with an injury.

Jim isn't ready for a ready-made family and she's afraid he's just another in a series of less than worthy men she seems to encounter.

Jim and Rachel are attracted to each other but there are other people in their lives. Jim dates Donna, another seemingly perfect soccer mom, but all the while thinks of the ditzy unorganized Rachel. She doesn't fit the bill of a perfect woman. Rachel is overweight, isn't efficient and klutzy but she's a great mom and she does get things done but her mouth - runs constantly. To say the least she's head strong.

Rachel is dating the soccer coach but it isn't the relationship she wants and she thinks of Jim constantly, tall, dark, handsome but noncommittal.

Through a series of misunderstandings and with a little help from Rachel's sister, Sharon, the couple work toward an understanding of what they really want in life is each other.

Ms. McCune's witty way with words makes this a delightful story. Jim and Rachel's attempts to see each other again at the supermarket and the misunderstood text messages are the highlight of the story. Kudos, Bonnie.

Rachel is a single mom with a love of all men, just never a suitable one. Until she meets Jim. Could he finally be the one? He appears to be normal compared to all the others. Given her track record that can’t be possible , so she waits to figure out what’s wrong with him. Does she wait to long? Will she find her happy ending with her Mr Right? Or will someone else see what she didn’t, that he really is a great guy?

Jim is not ready to settle down, but when he sees Rachel at a grocery store he can’t get her out of his mind. He is so captivated with her that he goes back to the same store several times hoping to run into her. He had given up hope of ever seeing her again when he finally finds her. He is delighted, until things start getting a little too serious way too fast. He begins to wonder if Rachel really is the one, especially when a seemingly perfect woman crosses his path. Will Jim find love with the woman of his dreams or will he choose Rachel with all her little quirks?

Heart-Strong was a cute and sweet romance. Jim and Rachel are believable characters with flaws and all. This was a fun, quick read. I enjoyed spending a rainy evening getting to know them.
