Prepositions make such a difference, don't they? As someone who learnt English as an additional language (or English as a second language as it was called in my day), I sometimes get tripped up by knowing which proposition to use in a sentence. I'd like to think I've come a long way, but if I had to point to something I can keep working on, it would be this. It probably explains why in my head, I kept calling this book Stranded by the Hero, which of course would not be a romantic read at all. Regardless, I'm grateful that when I write, I have the chance to edit 😄 Hannah Jo Abbott's Stranded with the Hero is much more swoony because Carson doesn't strand Nicole! (That would be a bummer for the fourth book in the Heroes of Freedom Ridge series!)
Book Synopsis
Her solo adventure leaves her alone for the holidays, until her handsome rescuer steps in.
Nicole Simmons planned a romantic weekend getaway in the mountains. She just didn’t expect to be going alone. Leaving her cheating ex-boyfriend and her usual cautious approach behind, she is determined to enjoy her unexpected adventure.
Carson Leavey became an EMT to help people. When he meets a tourist stranded for the holidays after an unfortunate skiing accident, he does what comes naturally. He never expects to fall for the feisty woman he is trying to help.
Alone and injured at Christmas in an unfamiliar place should be a miserable combination, but can the charm of Freedom Ridge and a certain thoughtful EMT have Nicole dreaming of a future she never expected? Or will Carson’s own fears put an end to this holiday romance before it even starts?

Book Thoughts
Hannah Jo Abbott's book was a delight to read! I appreciated having a further glimpse into the life of an EMT, and better understanding the emotional challenges that come with this profession. I also thought it was neat timing that this book was released during the pandemic with the concept of having to work from afar. It was refreshing that work was a predominant theme in the book, as it felt much more realistic with Carson and Nicole navigating a work/life balance with their burgeoning relationship.
The spiritual themes in Stranded with the Hero were well-developed and point all the glory back to God. Having Him be credited for the workings of the characters’ lives felt natural and normative in this book. The inner transformation that takes place for both Carson and Nicole was impactful, especially in the context of loneliness. Living at Freedom Ridge Resort sounds like it would be a dream; who wouldn't want to read books all day while looking out at a snow-capped mountain?!
