Story
ER doctor Aspen Zimmerman is no stranger to pain and loss. The tragic death of her fiancé catapults her life into a promise of healing - of being the best damn ER doctor her hospital has ever encountered. After all, it makes her feel like she's making a difference when she couldn't so long ago. And when her most beloved patient suffers horrifically, all Aspen cares about is healing her - even though her son has a special way of igniting a fire she thought fizzled out long ago.

Until I Fall
Reviewed: 04-23-18
Would you consider the audio edition of Until I Fall to be better than the print version?
Both editions are priceless. Some authors write from the depths of their soul. Finally, one of her novels converted into an audiobook. The reader through the narrators' gift has given this story a voice, which comes to life and right off the pages.
Who was your favorite character and why?
All characters have an essential role in a story.
Which character – as performed by Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross – was your favorite?
Narrators Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross remain intent to masterly perfect the ranges of dialect range levels per character. The narration is perfection.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
"Among seven billion I'll always find you. I'll always choose you. Even before our souls branded each other, I knew we were meant to be together forever. I'm yours, yesterday, today, and always."
"I'd rather live one day with you by my side than a hundred years wondering if I had a soulmate."
"You aren't perfect, and you wear flaws as badges of honor."
" What if it doesnt work?" I like long-term challenges. We have a lifetime to fall in love over and over."
Any additional comments?
Aspen loses the love her life Michael… she has found a place where she goes in her vivid dreams and has stored the memories so she may never forget him. She fears she will begin to fail to remember him and triggers her to have specific panic attacks. Aspen and Anderson's characters encounter loss, life, and learning how to be in a relationship together. Will they both succeed despite all the difficulties life throws at them?
And to the Author; you continue to share and live another endless celebration with your loved ones you miss dearly with this novel. The memories will always live in your heart and on these pages. Your auntie was exceptional, but she only loved one person her true love and soulmate, Octavio. Our heritage is extraordinarily passionate and when we love we fall hard for that person. It's difficult to allow ourselves to find hope of every truly loving again. Your auntie Natalie found her happy ending through you with your excellent writing skills in this novel. You took bits of pieces and mixed them into your characters and brought them to life again and gave them a second chance.

Five years ago Michael Graham betrayed the only person who ever really knew him. Since then he's made an art of hiding his sexual orientation from everyone. Including himself. So it's a shock when his past strolls right into the Harkness College locker room, sporting a bag of hockey gear and the same slow smile that had always rendered Graham defenseless.

5 of 5 Ryker STARS!!! I need and want A RYKER EVANS! Where may I find a magic mistletoe to conjure up a RYKER? I was happy, crying, then needed a hockey ice stick to cause some damage (well no more needs to be said; My Secret ;)
Well-written compelling plot. Bennett knows how to write a humorous sex scene and have a reader laughing. Love the many deference of morals entwined into the plot. Thank you for the 101 on hockey. I'm speechless!
Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend this brilliant, sensual, romantic hockey novel.
