The First Romance Novel I've Finished

Romance novels are one of my least favorite genres; only because, I've tried to read them in the past, and became bored with them. I would lay them aside, not even halfway in, regretting only that I could not finish what I'd started.

I took a chance on this book, as it was being offered for free. I was very, very skeptical. I had a bit of a slow start, but, that pace sped up quickly. I read large chunks at a time. The best thing for me, is that I became an onlooker, as it were, away from reality, watching a play. The story is wonderful. The only negativity that I experienced while reading this book was that the typos brought me out of the story to remind me that I was reading a book; and, then, I would have to make my way back to the intimacy from which I had been plucked.

If you like romance novels, try this one. I think what made it stand out, from my previous attempts at reading this genre, is the story itself. I envisioned the main character to be the author--sensitive, creative, romantic. The story, to me, is of a boy/man longing for a "one true love," versus, longing for a sexual conquest.

I wanted to give five stars for the story; yet, I only give four, due to the typo interruptions.

Beautiful just beautiful!

What a wonderful love story! It makes you fall in love over and over again. I've never seen such love that Hadriel has for Sophia, that even in his deathbed the memory of Sophia is so vivid. This book will take you to a wonderful journey of a one sided love, a young boy who fell in love with her bestfriend and the only girl who stole his heart and ran away with it. He grew old loving her and wondering if she has ever loved him in return. Beautiful just beautiful!

A heartfelt love story of love and friendship through a lifetime

A heartfelt love story of love and friendship through a lifetime. It is nicely paced and it is not easily predictable like other love stories. I loved how the beginning and ending tied into one another bringing the tale full circle and the characters closure. Very enjoyable.
