The Heart's Discovery

Hope Valley Saga book 1

Anjaline Rodriguez thinks that mountain boy Gabriel Walker is a snob, even though she can't stop thinking about his fathomless eyes. Could he just be shy? Damian Vega could be trouble, but bad boys are hard to resist, especially when the good one seems like a judgmental know-it-all.

She thought her world had ended when her stepfather's job ripped her away from her friends and her dream of attending the prestigious Cotopaxi Academy back home in Quito, Ecuador. Anjaline goes from a tropical, densely populated Latin American city to a cold, drizzly Canadian village populated by three small families, complete with major culture shock. On top of being stuck in the middle of nowhere, she has no clue how to deal with two attractive boys.

Gabriel thinks the exotic Latina is too spoiled. He's never figured out how to talk to pretty girls anyway, and can't get rid of that stutter when he's nervous. It’s practically love at first sight. Gabriel knows he needs to tell her how he feels, but while he’s gathering his courage, Damian may just spoil everything. Will Anjaline return Gabriel’s feelings in time or will tragedy tear them apart before she has the chance?

Loved this book.  It's full of everything you need to keep a story interesting.  I fell in love with the characters & the story line...it kept you turning the pages to learn more..I wanted to know what was gonna happen next.  I laughed & cried with the characters.  It didn't end quite like I expected, but it was an amazing story.  This was the first book I've read by this author, but I can't wait to read Book 2 in the Hope Valley Saga.

I rate this book 4 1/2 stars
