The Bridge by Shanna Hatfield digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

One Bridge. Five Strangers. A Christmas Eve That Changes Everything.

 

On a bridge suspended above the Willamette River, five lives collide for a journey through hope and hardship in a suspenseful, heartwarming tale of courage, connection, and the magic of second chances.

 

Sergeant Archer Raines has worked every holiday all year for one reason: to finally spend Christmas with his wife. But when a desperate man threatens to jump from Portland's St. Johns Bridge, Archer's expert negotiation skills are required to defuse the situation.

 

Rosalee, a high-powered accountant and mom-to-be, only meant to swing by home for a forgotten phone and client file. Then her car is caught in the chaos on the bridge, she unexpectedly goes into labor, and her carefully planned world begins to unravel amidst the unfolding drama.

 

Exhausted nurse Nova just wants to make it home for Christmas after too many night shifts. When the pileup halts traffic and Rosalee's baby is on the way, Nova puts her own plans on hold to help a stranger in need.

 

Carter, the owner of a busy tow truck business, regrets taking the call to clear the multi-car collision off the bridge. He'd intended to spend the day tackling last-minute holiday errands. Instead, he's praying the lunatic pointing a gun at him doesn't pull the trigger.

 

Fresh out of college and anxious to kick-start his career, Ian's running late when his car won't start the morning of his big interview. His rideshare driver turns out to be a captivating girl with a penchant for aggressive driving that narrowly saves them from being part of the wreck on the bridge, sending Ian on an unexpected path of his own.

 

The Bridge is the perfect uplifting holiday read and a story of how one frozen moment can thaw even the loneliest of hearts.

“6 ⭐️’s”
“WOW! Just Wow 😮 I may only be able to give this 5 stars ⭐️ But, it is definitely a 6 stars ⭐️ for me!!! I can now check off the prompt for (takes place in one day). On a Christmas Eve day, one bridge, one man’s choice that could change the life of five strangers, heartwarming/gripping story I have read in a long time. I ❤️ reading books where each unique character tells their story up to the point where the moment where they all meet each other and are not strangers anymore. 💕 Each having their own lives, situations, connections, and hopes!!! This book was clean, full of hope, second chances, love, faith, and courage!!!! 🥺 I will be thinking about this book for a long time and I’ll be trying the Peppermint Lush recipe in the back! 🥧😌Also, I recommend reading the authors note in the back, gives great historic facts about the bridge also how Shanna applied her own experience throughout the book. First book by Shanna Hatfield, won’t be the last! 🌉💕🥰”
“I was provided an advanced copy.”
“This is a clean story. A little romance, a little family and intersections of lives. There are several people in this story. A lot of lives that were affected by one event. A man who caused a crash on the St. John's Bridge in Oregon and is threatening suicide. It's very interesting to see the intersections. I liked the stories and perspectives of the five people. To see how this one event affected their lives. I didn't want to stop reading and read it over two days, but only because I had to go to sleep and work the next day. Otherwise, I could have seen myself reading it front to back with no stopping. It was a really great read with a few twists and turns. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.”
