The Charm Bracelet

 


The Charm Bracelet

Kindle Edition, 157 pages



When Lisa Archer’s charm bracelet is caught in a mall escalator, she is rescued by a flippant but dashing EMT. Steve Rollins seems to understand only too well Lisa’s mixed feelings toward her escort, Dr. Bryan Cooper, who gave her the bracelet.

When Lisa and Steve meet again, the sparks fly. Steve is sure Lisa hates him, and Lisa can’t help comparing vibrant Steve to mediocre Bryan, although Steve makes her furious every time she sees him. She tells Bryan she no longer wants to wear the charm bracelet, angering Bryan, and both are injured in an auto accident. When Steve responds to the emergency call and finds that Lisa is one of the accident victims, his guilt weighs him down.

Will he have the chance to ask Lisa’s forgiveness and start over in his clumsy attempts to win her heart? With a lot of prayer and some manipulation from Steve’s sister, he may be able to charm his way into Lisa’s life.

This romantic novel has elements of Christian faith. The e-book also includes a bonus short story, “Wandering Irises,” by Susan Page DAVIS

My thoughts: the charm bracelet is a charming novella about a woman 
who's been courted by the same man for 3 years with no commitment 
except for a charm bracelet when she gets a new charm every 3 months. 
An accident causes a paramedic to come rescue her when her charm
 bracelets gets caught and escalator. Thus begins a rather hit and miss
 relationship that didn't seem to go anywhere until suddenly it did. The
 story was sweet, probability level was low, but it was a nice read. It was
 told more than showed but it was still enjoyable. If you like novellas and
 love charm bracelets and paramedics you will love the story. I was given
 a copy free and all opinions are my own.
