review 1: My thoughts:This book is wonderfully written! Insightful and refreshing! A story of self discovery and the search for what is most important in life!This is the first true romance that I can remember reading that the author was a man, where I opened the book knowing that the writer was a man and I wondered about perspective and voice. I was impressed. He has shown a fantastic grasp of the intricacies of the emotions of both men and women. Kenneth Rosenberg has created characters that you can believe in. He has cast them into a world where money is power (sound familiar?) and the wants and desires of some are disregarded. The characters are realistic and easy to invest yourself into. The relationships portrayed are lifelike for the characters both when they are young... more and as they grow older. The story comes down to the choices between what you really want and what you are willing to fight for versus what is expected or desired by those in positions of power and wealth.The characters drive the story and keep you turning the pages, but the story itself keeps you holding your breath and hoping. Of all the supporting characters, Byron stands out the most for me. I think the friendship that he and Kate build is wonderful. I was thrilled when he throws away "the napkin" (you'll have to read it for details!). This action is him making what I believe to be one of the most powerful statements in the book; that he is no sell out and that honor and principles come before money!I loved Kate, the beautiful and successful architect making it on her own. Nick, what can you say about Nick...spoiled, rich, entitled, gorgeous, expecting. Of course these are what you see on the outside. On the inside they are both sad, unfulfilled, still hoping, still searching, still waiting. Truly worth a read! Don't miss out.
review 2: Wow. I really enjoyed this book. The characters were so well written and I was able to really connect with Katherine. I enjoyed the flash backs to the summer she and Nick met as teenagers. I thought for sure the story would end when Nick realized he still loved Katherine and called off the wedding to Fiona. I did not expect the journey that followed. I would have liked the ending to be better. The scene where they are inspecting the house and then go down to the lake and she voices her doubts just felt off. It made me a little mad. Katherine literally searched the world for him, put her life in danger in Africa to get to him and suddenly she has doubts? However I love how Nick pours his feelings out while kneeling on the ground. I would have been happier if the story had gone from Nick in the rain outside her apartment to the wedding scene by the lake. Overall the story was great and I look forward to more by this author. less
