"This is the best romance I have read in a long time. To start with, the novel’s prologue and first chapter are brilliant. Within the space of only 18 pages, Long manages not only to start her story story with a bang, but also to introduce two families in such a way that I immediately wanted to read novels about each family member...Some sentences are so poignant that they took my breath away.... Do yourself a favor, get yourself a copy and enjoy. And make sure that you have nothing else important to do once you have started it." —Rike Horstmann
