Blurb

Luke Schumaker designs computer games, working from his home. Every day he walks his dog in the woods nearby, never suspecting that someone who is completely smitten is watching.

The watcher is Alex Shaw, and he too works from home, designing logic and crossword puzzles. Alex’s options are limited: he’s too shy to approach Luke and his wheelchair won’t let him follow into the woods. His solution? Secret messages for Luke in the crosswords he writes for the local paper.

When Luke decodes them, romance begins, but then they face greater puzzles, like Alex’s interfering sister and what commitment to a man in a wheelchair really takes. And, most puzzling of all, how do you know if love is real?

 

 

 

3 of 5 Stars

I absolutely loved the premise of this…Luke finding a personalized message in the crossword puzzle of the local paper as a way of introduction/flirting. And the story started out great…but the pacing of the book and conflicts presented were confusing to me.

As Luke decodes the messages, he’s charmed and intrigued. I love the way he figures out how to discover his admirer and introduce himself to Alex. Their banter is cute, and the wheelchair isn’t an issue and they’re getting along great. Then Luke does a complete about face without much explanation and we learn some things out of the blue about him…the pacing was just weird for me. He was a bit hot and cold. Then they were making up and back together.

This book had so much potential…if it had been longer and fully developed this would have been a 5-star read but it just wasn’t quite there for me. It’s cute and quick, but lacking the feeling, development and pacing needed to be the truly great story I was expecting.
