Maggie Miller is about to start her life
in Boston. She's done with grad school and has a good job as a pediatric
physical therapist. Maggie sees herself as plain and ordinary, nothing
remarkable. She doesn't see that surviving a horrific car accident that killed
her mother and brother as anything special. She's had bad taste in men and is
jaded, and has decided to lay low while she focuses on her career. Matt Slavin
is Maggie's best friend from college. He has an atrocious girlfriend, who hates
Maggie for no reason. But he also has this good friend from home. Ryan Milan is
a drop-dead gorgeous young attorney who, despite significant reservations, has
relocated to Boston to start his career as a prosecutor. He is good at reading
the people he's prosecuting, but cannot read women. Maggie and Ryan dance
around each other, never sure of where the other stands. After months of push
and pull, they finally realize that the other is actually interested. After
finally getting together, they are pulled apart by Ryan's family tragedy, and
he is unable to return to Maggie. Just when Maggie thinks she does not have the
strength to rebuild again, she finds she no longer has that choice. And when
they're finally reunited seven years later, Maggie's life is barely
recognizable... (Amazon)
Good Intentions is author Kathryn R. Biel's debut novel. It always
gives me a pleasant surprise when an author's debut novel is so well written
with a story that keeps your attention. I thought each character was
relatable and enjoyed getting to know them all. Although each character had
their own struggles, it was interesting to see how they handled their
situations. Overall, I thought Good Intentions was
a well written book and would recommend it to others. I look forward to
seeing what this author has in
store for the future.
Kathryn Biel hails from Upstate New York, and is a spouse and
mother of two wonderful, but exhausting kids. In between being Chief Home
Officer and Director of Child Development of the Biel household, she works as a
school-based physical therapist. She attended Boston University and received
her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from The Sage Colleges. After years of
writing countless letters of medical necessity for wheelchairs, finding
increasingly creative ways to encourage the government and insurance companies
to fund her client's needs, and writing entertaining annual Christmas letters,
she decided to take a shot at writing the kind of novel that she likes to read.
Her musings and rants can also be found on her personal blog, Biel Blather.
