If you have heard of this author you might wonder why I am recommending him to you for doesn’t he write thrillers? Correct, and strange, futuristic stuff as well as historical novels. Those he will continue to do. He seems to have turned himself into a writing industry with others fleshing out his plots, co-writing with him, but this bittersweet romance is his alone. It’s a Danielle Steel look-alike, entwining two deeply touching romances. What he is so clever at is pace. He really draws you in, leaving cliff-hangers at the end of each short section so he is almost impossible to put down. You should try him.

Then, just as suddenly, she learns that this new love comes with an unbearable cost...
