This
is a short yet delightful read. It appears to be part of a full length
story but is rewarding in itself.
Amber's
experience is a romantic dream. But it doesn't start out that way.
The guy she's been dating for a while, a hunk of a fireman and single
parent like she was, had left his cell phone at her house. Her
mission to deliver it to him turns into an unwelcome situation as she
has a tire blowout. She decides to walk the mile to the fire station
even though it is a dark, cold, and wet evening. Amber braves
potential kidnapping and other dire happenings. When she finally
arrives at the station, cold and wet, she has the surprise of her
life.
Are
there men really as romantically inclined as Amber's boyfriend? I
certainly hope so.
Wade
has done a good job filling in the story line through the thoughts of
Amber as she trudges along in the dark and wet. We finish the story
with a good feeling of reconciliation, forgiveness, and new
beginnings because of God's grace and mercy.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
