Description
Joy Anderson was young and trusting when she served as a guide for aspiring journalist Gabe Venture. Surrounded by the staggering natural beauty of New Mexico's Lost River Cave, Joy gave herself freely to the most extraordinary man she had ever known. But even the passion they shared could not hold him-and Gabe left Joy with a broken heart . . . and, nine months later, with a cherished, if painful, reminder of their lost love. Now Joy is a respected doctor with no room in her life for show more shattered dreams. And Gabe has returned at the pinnacle of his profession, longing to fill the inner emptiness that has rendered his achievements bittersweet. Joy, however, has nursed her wounds and moved on; he has arrived far too late to be welcomed back into her heart. But while there is still magic beneath the rolling New Mexican desert-in the breathtaking world of mystery and wonder where the miracle was born-can it ever be too late for love? show lessTags

Described on the cover as a classic love story, I have to agree! The prologue gave enough of the back story to get you intrigued and going into the chapters I was already hooked. The miscommunications that caused all the heartbreak were believable and frustrating all at the same time. The lingo about caving was enough to let you know what was going on, but not so much as to bore or sound to text book-ish. The ending revealing something about some of the lesser characters was a bit of a pleasant surprise. Well written and a great read!
Gabe and Joy have a history, one that should have been wonderful, but turned out to be just the opposite. They both thought the other had betrayed them, only to find out that was never the case. As they explore the Lost River cave, can they find themselves and each other?
A light and easy read, a simple of story of a love gone wrong that comes back.

Although I liked the love story, I got bored with all the caving talk and exploring. I just wasn't interested in that. I made it through the book but barely.
Star crossed overs, moderate sex, adventures in caving. a good enough junk read.
Okay but I didn’t really enjoy this author’s writing style. Something about the amount of rolling around in their heads.
Second chance at love. Cave spelunkers.
