This is an awesome NA story about an ex-hockey athlete heroine who had a spinal cord injury, resulting in her unable to fully use her legs. She uses a wheelchair or crutches. The hero is also a hockey player who broke his leg doing a crazy stunt and they meet at their dorm - he lives across from her. What I love about this story was how her disability wasn't 100% the main plot. The romance was subtle and devwloped really slowly and the h/H grew as characters as the story progressed. Try this book. So good!Zeee @ I Heart Romancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08120545951032621199noreply@blogger.com
