There’s nothing in the world like a woman with nerve. She’s smart as a whip, and beautiful to the core, but it’s her inner strength that finally captured my heart.
Caroline was always the quieter of the Rossi siblings, but what I didn’t know back then, when we were kids, was that all that quiet translated into a lot of strength.Ĭaroline is the strongest person I know. I didn’t pay much attention to her, but I did try to watch out for her when her when she was picked on by her older sister, Meg.
Josh Campbell, private equity fund manager:Ĭaroline was always just my best friend’s little sister who tagged along when we had important boy stuff to do. Josh would tell you that I love being right…and I do. The best feeling in the world is knowing I’ve been right about him all along, that he deserved every unrequited, adolescent tear I’d shed. This strong, handsome, brilliant man, loves me-the wallflower-and he loves me just as I am.
The Josh of my dreams, the one I wanted him to be, was exactly who he was-smart, down-to-earth and yes, unendingly loyal. He was everything I wasn’t, bold and brave, but what surprised me most was that he didn’t surprise me at all. He sensed the problems I was having with my boss rescued me from a Friday night setup encouraged me when I hesitated stepping out of my comfort zone. These are the same traits that brought me back to Josh as an adult. He was loyal and protective and he always looked out for those who needed it most, and while he doesn’t remember, he protected me from my older sister’s teasing more than once. He was eleven and I think, even back then, I knew he’d be mine someday. Josh was the oldest and I worshipped him the minute I laid eyes on him. The Rossi kids and Campbell kids became fast friends. We’d gone from having what I considered a perfectly sized apartment, with a park two blocks away to having acres and acres of land outside the front door of our big house on the estate grounds. We’d been living in New York City and I remember the change in lifestyle being a challenge for all of us. I was five when my father left his frenetic life on Wall Street to become an estate manager and our family moved onto the Rossi’s estate on Long Island. I have such strong memories of Josh from when I was younger. They didn’t hold back-here’s what they had to say…Ĭaroline Rossi, geotechnical engineer and aspiring romance author: Josh and Caroline from Unexpectedly Yours: Finding Your Other Half.Ĭharacters often have insight into each other we authors find surprising, so when I was thinking about this post and I wondered what Josh and Caroline, the hero and heroine in my second Forever Love Story, Unexpectedly Yours, thought about each other.
