Her choice. His consequences.
Nurse Sophie Mattuchi has seen a lot of angry patients in the ER, but no one's ever rattled her like Jack Carter. He has no right to blame her for his friend's death. Sophie did everything she could. Didn't she? Yet his accusations sting, and that sets off all kinds of internal alarms. She's never cared this much about any man's opinion of her. But Jack is different. He stirs up feelings. Strong feelings. Guilt. Anger. Attraction. Curiosity. Sympathy. Sophie's definitely not interested in Jack, but even if she was, he'd never forgive her for the decision she made that night in the hospital. Would he?
Sophie's Path is a lovely tale of small town living, forming friendships, finding your place, and meaning and purpose for your life. It is a process of healing, letting go, and finding peace after a tragedy.
Sophie seems to have a saviour complex, she is very involved, wants to fix, help, and heal everyone around her. She is not afraid to get involved, restore and revamp what she sees is needing it. The tale is part of the series, filled with characters who have found their way to the small town. At times I felt I could have used more information about the people around Sophie, but was able to connect the dots after awhile. Sophie is trying to change herself, her behaviour, her diet, her habits, create a new her. She used to be 'flirt', and never formed any friendships with females, or deeper friendships with the men she flirted with. But she doesn't stop on changing herself, she meddles with everything she can. I didn't really get the flirting part, what was so bad about her behaviour, that other would have kept away from her, was she sleeping with the men, where the men in a relationship as she flirted with them, or what was the issue there, but it seemed to have a huge impact on her life and on her relationships. Jack was going through some changes in his life as well. The stages of his grief and overcoming the accident were clear, and heartfelt. I liked both of the characters, they had their faults, but they were trying to work on their issues, and better themselves. The romance was a bit surprise since there's no romantic involvement between Sophie and Jack, just a couple of conversations and kisses does not a relationship make, but they still found a way to each other, despite all the animosity between them previously. A charming and engaging slice of small town living, from the active nurse's point of view. The dangers and tragedies of life, the grief and joy, the love and loss, all have their place, as Sophie and Jack are building a new life, with meaning and purpose. ~ Four Spoons ![]()
