Sasha has had a hard
time of it lately, as an attack has left her fearful and distrustful of men.
When a snowstorm causes an accident, she stumbles to the nearest residence.
Finding it locked and no one home, she tries to get in through a window and
gets stuck. When Forrest Tucker comes home to find a pair of legs hanging out
of his window, he's concerned about her injuries and her skittish behavior. As
a fellow student, Forrest quickly discovers why Sasha acted the way she did,
and even when the situation makes trouble for him, he's determined to help
Sasha through it.
I wasn't paying attention when I bought this and hadn't realized this was a Christian romance. While I wouldn't normally wander into this genre on purpose, I still read and enjoyed the simple romance.
I thought Forrest was a freak of nature; it's hard to imagine someone that self-less actually existing. Sasha is a sympathetic character but the best thing about this is that she's a work in progress from beginning to end; she's taking the steps towards moving past her experience rather than letting it rule her life. Yes, she starts out skittish and jumpy, but that's to be expected as it reads as if the incident is fairly recent. It's only by the gentle coaxing of Forrest that she finally starts to move on, and that made this a very satisfying reading experience for me.
*This is a clean romance.

Winter Chill is the
second book in the Seasons of the Heart series. This book tells the story of
Sasha, Katie's friend and classmate. Sasha can not stand to be touched by a man
let alone be too close to one, so it is no suprise when her car is stuck in the
snow, and she finds herself hurt, and stranded in the cabin of the campus
groundskeeper that she lashes out at him every chance she gets. Love proves to
be a powerful force in Sasha's life as Forrest, the campus groundskeeper and
fellow college student, feels God tugging at his heart to protect her in every
way possible. This results in Sasha sharing her awful secret, forgiving her
attacker, and a chain of events that lead to her attacker being brought to
justice. The icy exterior around Sasha's heart finally begins to melt away as
she lets Forrest help her and allows herself to love him. Excellent story!

"Winter
Chill" is my first exposure to talented Author Susette Williams and I must
say I thoroughly enjoyed it. In this romantic, Christian-based novella, the
main characters Sasha Steinfeld and Forrest Tucker, are well developed and
likeable.
The intriguing circumstances of their first encounter is sure to grab the attention of any romantic reader, especially the young adult or the young at heart. It is extremely refreshing to read such a clean...no sex, no swearing...kind of book. I didn't realize that "Winter Chill" is only one book, of possibly many others, in the series "Seasons of the Heart" until reading some of the other reviews. I look forward to future entertaining installments in this captivating series by Author Susette Williams!
