Heading: Sweet, Sweet Love
Who knew that a night out with her best friend at an L.A. Dodgers baseball game would be the beginning of what true love would come to mean toVirgie Washington in Vashti Ann Reed’s Believe in Love? A bad marriage ending in divorce seemed to concur with the verbal abuse Virgie endured during her marriage, and coincide with the loveless and lonely childhood she experienced after her mother’s passing when she was a small child. Thankfully she was blessed to become friends with Danita and enjoyed spending time with her family to fill a void that had been missing so long in her young life.
Having met Mitch through Danita’s fiancee, Virgie found him to be handsome and caring, and what appeared to be a chance meeting at the baseball game turned into both of them trying to decide if they should let the other know how they were feeling about the other. Virgie was having trust issues due to her family life and bad marriage, while Mitch was dealing with insecurities from a disability he was born with. Will Virgie be able to throw caution to the wind, take a risk and allow herself to fall in love with Mitch? Can Mitch find a way to work through his own hang-ups and give love a chance to grow with Virgie?
I really enjoyed Believe in Love because it is a story that allows the main characters to fall slowly, and sweetly in love without too much tug of war as it addresses disabilities and the usual reaction, and most times rejection that comes with it. I recommend this book to romance readers and those who are advocates for the disabled.
