MY REVIEW
I really enjoyed this sweet book!
This is a new to me author and I really enjoyed her works.
This book has a little bit of everything from mystery to 2nd chances at love.
Branson Carhill is an unusual man. He loves his job and is good at what he does. Not too many people can say that. Even I didn't like what I did.
Sylvia is a mystery. I think she has done her roll well. She's also an interesting character. Sometimes I would love to do what she has done but I'm sure that I wouldn't get away with it.
I wish I could've gotten to know Sylvia a little better because I immediately liked her and admired her especially since she done what she did. She's my heroine!
The story was well written and the supporting characters were interesting too.
You see, I once upon a time could draw, paint, and whatever else there was to do. I took art classes. I especially loved to draw horses as they are my favorite animals. I lost that talent since I didn't keep up with it although I'm sure that if I practiced at it I can do it again. I don't know why I didn't keep up with it. Maybe music was my calling.
I love the way this author writes because her writing enabled me to" travel" to Paris. I was able to picture in my mind the people, art, the Effile tower in all of her glory and traffic sounds too.
She's describes these scenes beautifully so that I can "be" there.
There wasn't a thing that I didn't like about this book.
I highly recommend this book. It's short and sweet and to the point. Oh and lots of action filled in the middle.
My thanks to the author for a complimentary copy of this book. NO compensations were received and all opinions are my own.
