Wow what a wonderful story.

This book is a sort of sequel to Sweet Annie. The main characters from Sweet Annie are peripheral characters in this story. You don't need to read Sweet Annie first since I don't think there is much through-story, but it is nice to know there's a connected book to read.

Without reiterating too much of what has already been said about this book - the hero is scarred from youth and thinks of himself as a monster. The heroine grew up poor and mistreated by her mother and then her husband who married her only because she refused to have sex outside marriage. Kind of a Beauty and The Beast scenario.

The story of them coming together both physically and emotionally was beautifully told and touching.

I read a book almost every day and it has been a very long time since one made me cry. This one did. Not in a bad way, more a happy sweet way.

Not a super sensual book, the love scenes are brief and without much description. But the love story is sensual and sexy without the details.

A real keeper.
