Waiting Hearts by Beth Ann Stifflemire

This was a really nice read.  Beth Ann Stifflemire has a warm touch to her writing that I enjoy.  The version I received was an Audible version which I won in a giveaway. I liked that fact as I was able to plug my phone into my car's bluetooth and listen on my way to and from work.  I also liked the fact the I could speed up the narrator, as the original speed seemed a bit too slow for me and the way that I like to read.

The story is about Kayla Parker, 26 year old 2nd grade teacher.  Because of a heart condition, she tends to avoid the night scene and prefers to lead a quiet school teacher life style.  Her heart condition, having been apparently genetic as her father had died of it, causes her to have regular doctor's appointments, and medical regimens to abide by.

One evening she accidentally bumps into musician, Gabe Sanderson.  As the days go on, the run into each other as if by fate.  As they come to know each other, Gabe appears to accept all about Kayla, including her dog, Deke and especially her health concerns.

There are several twists and turns in the story.  It's happy.  It's sad.  It's all the emotions that are found in love stories.  I enjoyed this story very much and am happy to have had the chance to become acquainted with this author's writing style.
