Customer Reviews

This book has a very intriguing story line!

I really enjoyed this book, and even though the prologue pretty much tells you the outcome, the story was quite enjoyable! I have not read one of his books in quite a while, and I will definitely seek out some of his older ones, and read the ones I have missed. I was really rooting for Evie in this one, even though at the same time you want Silvia and Matt, to get back together somehow! Evie and Matt had their amazing musical bond, that was very special, and you wanted them to go back to their duets, that made them so happy!

Powerful and captivating!

I have only read Love Story and after reading Only Love and becoming familiar with Seagal's other books I am looking forward to purchasing more of his books. This latest novel is a must-read. Much of the emotions felt by the main character were dramatic and honest. I felt as though I was experiencing the story myself. Seagal has the skill to put into words what many feel, but are unable to express into words or are unable to recognize. Many times one sentence alone captured a human's scale of emotions hitting it right on the head of the nail...True revelations of the inner-heart and thoughts of love and relationships. I loved it! I thought it wouldn't compare to Love Story and now I don't know which is better.

Fast-Paced/Engaging Narrative of Loves Lost and Found

This work is the first book that I have picked up, and been constantly unable to put down. It is an outstanding tale, well written if perhaps a bit "wordy" at times, and a bit unsentimental at the most poignant moments. All in all, a good work worthy of reading, and one that seems to "stick" in the mind well after the book is finished. One cares about the characters, gets to know them and like them. However, the most touching scenes and most emotional moments seem to gloss over a bit, and a bit more detail would add to the emotional impact for the reader.

enjoyable, quick-reading love story

remnids me of a sheldon book, in that once you start it, you'll find that you will want to read it quickly. . . but not to get through it; rather, because you are enjoying it . . . i did!

a must read, couldn't put it down book

This was the best book I have read in a long time! It was filled with all sorts of emotions, sad, happy, love hate, everything! I've always loved this author, and I think this is the best book he has ever written. A must read!
