The Recovery Run

De: Melissa Whitney

Narrado por: Harlow Wilde

He may be the guide, but she’s the one taking them to the finish line in this Brittany Runs a Marathon meets Wild Hearts Can’t be Broken contemporary romance.

Nearing thirty, Jensen Larsen still hasn’t hit her stride. The visually impaired assistant disability coordinator never chases what she wants. Jobs. Friendships. Love. Faced with another romantic disappointment, she’s ready to run toward what she wants, just like her brother. The year they turn thirty, men from her family run a marathon and find the love of their lives.

There are a few obstacles in her way; Jensen hates running, and her idea of a marathon is binging Bridgerton. Trust issues from past relationships continue to make it difficult for her, as a blind woman, to find a guide runner she trusts. Enter her brother’s best friend, Dr. Garrett Marlowe.

For the last five years, Garrett has only worried about himself. Outside of being a reluctant cat dad, Garrett isn’t looking for emotional attachments. Until the woman who both vexes him and makes him smile needs help.

It may not just be Jensen’s stride that Garrett, the experienced marathon runner, is helping find. As Jensen deals with her trust issues, Garrett faces the pain of the tragic event that led him to seal off his heart. With each running session, Jensen and Garrett must learn to trust each other and themselves.

But marathon training, just like life, is a mental game, and the obstacles they face may trip them up before they even reach the starting line.
