CHOOSE YOUR HEART by Callie Hutton tells the story of Kerry MacKenzie, a midwife in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who marries her high-school sweetheart, Cody. They have a wonderful marriage, until the day Cody goes up for his flight lesson, and the plane crashes, killing him and his flight instructor. Kerry is devastated but has the overwhelming support of Cody's parents. One year after Cody's death, Kerry is starting to feel like she just can't move on. Her in-laws are smothering her, and every time Kerry brings up the possibility of dating again, she feels like she is betraying them by the way they react.
She decides that the only way to move on is to move away. She decides to move to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Far enough from Tulsa so her in-laws can't visit every day, but close enough that she can see them when she wants or needs to. She already has a job lined up in Albuquerque, so she packs up her stuff and off she goes.
On her way, she gets a flat tire in Amarillo, Texas, and of course her spare is flat as well. While standing on the side of the road contemplating walking into town, she is approached by a very handsome and sexy cowboy, Damian Greer. Here is where things get hot and interesting. Damian runs a cattle ranch with his family in Amarillo. He is a true gentlemen and tries to help Kerry as much as she will let him. He convinces her to let him drive her on to Albuquerque as it would be much cheaper and quicker than taking a bus and then renting a car. The chemistry between Kerry and Damian is instant.
CHOOSE YOUR HEART by Callie Hutton is a very quick read, at less than one hundred pages, but it really holds your attention and has quite a story to tell. The way Kerry tries to fight her attraction is, at times, very funny, and of course Damian doesn't help with that at all. He wants her badly and makes no bones about his feelings for her. She can't fall in love now. She has a plan to move to Albuquerque and become her own independent woman. Will she change her mind and her plan? Will Damian be there in Amarillo waiting for her? What should she do? You are just going to have to read CHOOSE YOUR HEART to find out. I know you will enjoy it as much as I did.
