review 1: This is a truly wonderful novel. Reye is an amazing woman from the very first page to the very last. Yes, she is young and she does some growing throughout the novel, but at every step I felt for her and believed in her. Stephen, however, was a bit harder to associate with. Yes, he's a sexy and confident male lead, and he *almost* treats her perfect, but you never feel like he really deserves her, that he really is too weak and noncommittal for the kind of man she deserves. It's that *almost* that causes the main point of conflict in the final act. However, it is also one of the triumphs in the book. It's not a spoiler to say the relationship has a breakup, it's a virtual given for the IR romance genre, but what's unique is the path that takes them back together is not a ... more"they saw each other across the room" type of moment in final pages. Instead, soon (in terms of # of pages at least) after he leaves, Stephen knows what he lost and he grows in the man you really want him to be. We are then treated to the wonderful final chapters where he really courts Reye again, and we get to see the relationship develop for the second time and in fashion that makes Stephen worthy of Reye this time around.
review 2: Let me just say........WOW! The author has done an excellent job with this story. The essence of any good romance is how two people meet and fall in love with each other. The same should also be for IR romances but alas my experience has been less then stellar because many IR authors get two engrossed in the racial differences and forget to develop a realistic, meaningful story of how two people meet and fall in love. Thankfully Ms. Ruthie Robinson has done both and done them extremely well. I believe the story of Reye and Steven and more importantly I saw their complete love story over time and I became invested in the final outcome. Her writing was not bloated with unnecessary fillers but every word mattered and carried you through to a wonderful conclusion. Ms. Ruthie, you knocked this one out of the part and if you continue writing such wonderfully engaging novels you can consider me one of your biggest fans. less
