Change of Heart by Jennifer Moore
Book Description:
This summer, Nathaniel Cavanaugh vacations in Lobster Cove to spend quality time with his kids after his estranged wife’s tragic death. Successful and well-connected, he is on the fast-track to the highest legal positions in the country, but his family life suffers. After an accident throws Val nearly into his lap and costs her a job opportunity, Nathaniel surprises himself by overlooking her outlandish appearance and lack of qualifications to offer her a job as his nanny for the summer. Valdosta McKinley wishes for an internship at a Paris Art Institute to use her newly acquired art-history skills. She knows Nathaniel could never develop feelings for a girl from a trailer in a rural West Virginia holler—a lesson she learned the hard way years earlier. Will pursuit of their professional goals require Nathaniel and Val to give up the dream of being a family?
Review:
I've read and enjoyed several books by Jennifer Moore, so I jumped at the chance to review her latest novel, Change of Heart. The modern setting is different from most of what I've read from Moore, but she did a great job with likable characters and an intriguing story. Lobster Cove was also a great setting for Nathaniel and Val to meet.
I really enjoyed Val's character. She didn't fit the mold (either in Lobster Cove and with Nathaniel's people or with the stereotypical West Virginian trailer born and raised people). She was very interested in art and got a degree. She had goals and dreams, and also a very good heart.
This was a Cinderella, rags to riches type story. It was clean and an enjoyable, fast read. I'll definitely read more by this author.
