Great!

Michelle Smart is a favorite author of mine. She doesn't disappoint in this touching tale. Rosa's plight, her thought processes, her vulnerability beneath the steel facade- all appealed to me. She ponders the question- can she be loved for herself? Don't we all question that- need that validation? I found Nicolai's approach to women and relationships somewhat offensive- but understandable as his past is revealed. His character must look to overcoming past mistakes and challenging self-imposed emotional limitations. We all take a risk when we allow ourselves to love- Can Rosa and Nicolai accept the challenge? Only the conclusion answers that! A story that brings home the importance of communication; the detriment that follows assumptions. More steam than romance. A true tale of self-discovery and personal growth- in the emotional sense. I definitely recommend it!
