I think Ive read my favorite book of the year, and its only January. Other books, need not apply. With all the buzz from my bloggy friends on Broken Wing, I knew it would be good. And good is just no good enough to describe this book.
Its not only an epic love story of Gabriel and Sarah, its about friendship and healing with things life has thrown your way, that you had no control over. Gabriels tarnished goods, and he believes hes not salvageable. In the event that sets this book up, he meets Sarahs family and the two are drawn together. Months go by and they havent acted on the attraction. One night, hes invited to Sarahs room, he believes she wants his services from his profession as a former courtesan. She doesnt, she wanted to share the stars with him, and with that Gabriel feels there may be a chance hes able to heal, but only from Sarah. That night starts a friendship, one that Gabriel never had, and one that Sarah needed. It is these encounters that you feel their walls coming down and a wall of love being built around them. It is months even after that, that their love is professed. As soon as that loves professed, Gabriel goes pirating to bring back a fortune and win Sarah as a wife. It is that moment I knew something bad would happen and it did. Hes taken away from her for years. YEARS. Can a love based on friendship last after a tarnished life has been thrown right back into hell?
I wont say anything more for the readers that have not yet had the pleasure in reading this book. This book is dark, emotional, but has the star power of Passion by Lisa Valdez and The Raven Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt. I know that I cant pick up a book right away, I was so immersed in every word on every page. I have purchased 3 more copies of this book. One to let people borrow, one to give to a friend and one to give away on my blog!
