Winston has a nicely flowing style that is easy to read. But not shallow. Both Marco and Sophie are great characters. They are deep and both wounded. Marco is especially compelling in his pain and desire for Sophie. Their relationship builds slowly. But it is not boring.You really want them to get together, and its great when they manage it. Very sexy moments between them. Enjoyable read.
A true romance
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book blew me away. I'd never heard of the author, and the title (let's face it) leaves a little to be desired, but like they say, don't judge a book by its cover (or title). This book turned out to be about two adults who've been knocked around by life, and who want (and deserve) to come together...but first they have to learn to trust each other (and themselves). We're not talking movie stars, either. This romance breaks away from those tired old plot twists. These people have normal, believable jobs, and behave in normal, believable ways. Nobody gets stalked or killed. There is no "other woman." All of the characters are realistic and sympathetic, and by the end, I geuninely cared for them--especially the hero and heroine. An immensely satisfying read that I know I'm going to keep for a long time. And I'll be looking for books by this author in the future.
