This may sound as if it is a typical scenario of poor girl/rich boy, parents interfere and girl gets dumped. If that is what you think, you are definitely in for a surprise. This plot carries the love story so much further and involves so many people that, regardless of the genre which you normally favor, you should absolutely enjoy this book. Ms. Mary Eason has presented a uniquely slanted storyline and taken the characters into an area which will ensure that you will like something about them.

Her primary characters, Carrie and Tyler, are polar opposites, but they each supply the deficiencies of the other. Ms. Eason has written these characters as strong, independent, loving individuals who, no matter how many times they are together, the reader never gets tired of the scenes. The sensual tones are addictive and the sex is nothing short of explosive.

After Carrie and Tyler’s inevitable breakup, she sold her business and relocated without telling him where she was going. This gave the author another chance to introduce characters with totally unexpected personalities. The cast, both primary and secondary, were well written and believable. I found this book to be extremely sad in several places. I shed tears. I laughed. I cried again. The main thing I was not was bored.

Whenever an unusual situation developed, Ms. Eason wrote a distinctive, unexpected conclusion. Several times I felt the book was coming to an end with nothing settled. That was not the case. The final was not as I expected, but the journey was worth the wait. Obviously I loved the book.
