WOW!!

This is perhaps one of the best romance books that i have read and trust me I read a lot. It's one of those books that requires you to curl up under your comforter on a cold day while the wind ragges outside. "A shy young teacher and writer,Melisande visits Rio to do research,never dreaming that she will be swept up into the sensual rhythms of Carnavale..........and into the the arms of a handsome tycoon". Melisande is a shy and conservative teacher on a research in Brazil where her future is sure to change. She is a type of person that is strong and yet afraid to discover the sensual part of her. Alex is a rich tycoon, he is a jeweler, who is afraid to trust women in general and when fate brings him in contact to Melisande, he believes that she is after his position and wealth. I personally believe that this is a well written book because both characters seem to be individuals with their own mind not depending on each other for support, i mean for a customary romance their is always the expectation of one partner begging the other for forgivness, we all look for that its just that this time both characters seem to recognize the importance of what happened and seemed to be able to hold on to that and yet move on. The secondary characters Maria and James were wonderfull and i wonder perhaps if there is a book about the because there are hints about their rocky road to love. Buy This Book Today!!!!!!!!!!.
