Nice, well detailed review. I liked how you mentioned in the review that the author is able to put words to emotions. Seems like an interesting read.

Great review! Excellent details on the book without giving away anything critical to the plot of the story! Sounds like a book I'd like to read.

I`m glad this is a romantic novel "without a lot of self-made drama". I might read it. Very well-written review.

Wow bluemel4, nicely done! You seem to have really enjoyed the book and your review was great! I agree that you did a great job selling this book but managed to do it without letting anything "spoilers" slip! F.D. Jones seems to have captured the characters in a great way and built a believable world for all of us to enjoy, thank you for your hard work. I am not always the biggest fan of romance but it sounds like this one might just pass the test! I look forward to reading it!

Latest Review: Island Games by Caleb J. Boyer

Post by LivreAmour217 »

This sounds like a great book, and you did a great job of conveying how much you enjoyed it. The 1970's are slightly before my time (I'm an early eighties baby), but I did listen to a lot of '70s music growing up and I like the idea of song titles for the chapters. I'd probably make a game of how many I recognize!

I am an early 80s baby too. The song titles at the beginning of the chapters are really well known songs. I was able to hum all of them in my head. It really helped set the tone for each chapter. Just an added bonus to an already great read. :D
