    About this audiobook

    From #1 New York Times bestselling author Tami Hoag comes this powerful novel of passion, heartbreak, and redemption-a story that celebrates our capacity to love one time, for all time, even in the face of adversity and change.

    They say that each of us becomes an entirely new person every seven years. But Rebecca Bradshaw doesn't feel any different when an old lover shows up severely injured at the hospital where she runs the physical therapy department. Seven years ago baseball player Jace Cooper left her without a second thought or the chance to share the life-changing secret she swore she'd keep from him forever. Now he is back, wanting both her help and a second chance. Becca hasn't changed, and she doesn't believe Jace has either, but as she helps him repair his broken body and his fractured past, she finds she is wrong on both counts. The only thing that has stayed the same is the most important thing of all-and now suddenly time is running out.

      Straight from the Heart by Tami Hoag was published in 1989 by Random House and is 215 pages long. This book is one hundred percent contemporary romance. This is not one of Tami Hoag's trademark romantic suspense novels. Jace hit the major leagues and left town with a phone call to his girlfriend Rebecca. She never saw or heard from thim again for seven years. Jace lived the high life of money, parties, women, gambling and so on. But, then he injured his knee and his career in the majors came to a sudden halt.Now he needs Rebecca's help as a physical therapist to help him get his career back on track. He also knows that Rebecca was the right woman for him all along and he wants to win her back. Rebecca's heart was broken far more than anyone knew when Jace abandoned her. Now she has her career and more responsibilites than Jace knew. She reluctantly agrees to help him get his knee back in shape, but wants Jace at arms length when it comes to her personal life. Can Jace break down Rebecca's defenses and prove he is a changed man? I picked this book up at a library sale along with a handful of other Tami Hoag contemporary romances. I knew before I started this one that it wasn't one of her romantic suspense novels, but I was curious about her other stuff. Although written in 1989, the book isn't all that dated. Jace is just a guy that got caught up in the lifestyle and made some horrible mistakes and now has a chance to clean up his act and hopefully win back the love of his life. He's not an overbearing alpha male type and I really liked him. Rebecca was an overachiever and lived by a certain set of rules and could be hard on anyone that didn't measure up to her standards. There was some agnst but it was not silly and over emotional. I like this one better than I thought I would. I still like Hoag's romantic suspense much better, but don't dimiss these contemporaries out of hand. Overall I would give this one a B-/C+
