Borderline Love: Borderline Love Part 1 / Borderline Love Part 2
A collection of two new original short stories from author Debbie Macomber. First published in Macomber's Digital Magazine, these heartwarming stories are now available exclusively in this collection.
Borderline Love Part 1
Holly’s routine life of knitting and studying for nursing school is abruptly interrupted by a dreamy tall British man visiting her town. What would he want with her, a busy nursing student cramming for exams? Reluctantly, Holly allows Bennett cautiously into her life and just as things are heating up, he’s stuck in Canada when the borders close because of the virus. Will he ever return to thrill her heart?
Borderline Love Part 2
The distressing isolation of quarantine, lightened by Bennett arranging dinner dates via Zoom, is interspersed with her intense workload as a newly minted nurse. But Bennett frets about her safety and health, pressuring her to quit. Bone weary from work and stress, can Holly resist Bennett’s insistence that she quit her beloved job?

Awesome short story
I really enjoyed the story. I think this is the first one I've read that has brought in the most recent happenings of COVID.
I wish more of your books were on Kindle Unlimited.

Classic Debbie
Borderline was an easy read as are all of Macomber's works. As a short story it does not allow for all the character building and emotional situations to be told in great depth.
Overall it was a quick enjoyable read.
