Starting over is serious business
With her professional skiing career cut short by an accident, Hannah James is putting all her energy into transforming Snowy Sky Resort into something special. There's only one obstacle. Famous pro-snowboarder-turned-consultant Tate Addison has his own ideas about taking the Rankins, Alaska, lodge to the next level. But Hannah won't compromise her dreams. She gets that Tate is trying to create a stable home for his orphaned six-year-old nephew—a boy Hannah already adores. And if she isn't careful, she could also fall for the boy's too-attractive uncle. Is she risking heartbreak? Or do she and Tate really want the same things out of life?

My Review: 4 Stars
I love a good, clean romance with some depth and that's exactly what I got with A Family Like Hannah's. I'm a fair weathered fan of sports, meaning that aside from some basketball and what my kids are playing at the moment, most of my sports watching comes during the Olympics. I couldn't help but be swept away by the excitement of skiing and snowboarding, as a good part of the story revolves around Tate and Hannah working together to make Snowy Sky Resort a success.
Tate is a character with determination, as he is trying to raise his young nephew with the help of his old coach. I loved this adorable, molded-together family and loved the bond between them. Hannah is the middle child of a large, more traditional family, but she's the glue. Her charming personality, childlike awe of life, and eagerness to work hard overshadow her challenges in life and those traits are like a magnet to both the reader and the characters in the book. I love that this isn't just an easy, fluffy story, but had some real filling to go along with it, while maintaining a lighter feel--it wasn't heavy. What a perfect recipe for a great story!

Content: mild romance (kissing); a snippet of violence; mention of past drug abuse and child neglect. Clean!
