From the very first line, I knew this would be a novel I would fall in love with. I did that and so much more.

There are so many elements to this story that I loved. A woman with a hidden past, she doesnt even want to confront, finds herself in the last place she ever wanted to be. And she just might be falling in love.

The writing is so incredibly strong. The characters grow from the very first page. Subtle twists to the plot keep the story always moving forward. And I wasnt sure to expect with each new chapter.

Its the kind of novel I *love* to read. Dialogue that zings, characters that have so much growth to make, but as a reader, I cant help loving them anyway. A plot that makes a reader so eager to know how it all ends, and yet writing that makes me to want to stop and just savor every word.
In short, I really didnt want it to end.

Katie Ganshert may be a debut author, but this novel does not read like a debut. Surely she has been holding out on us and there is a published backlist. And yet there is just enough room to grow in her writing, that I know the next book will be even better.

Its that kind of book. Womens fiction/romance fansthis book will become your new best read. Its making my 2012 best list. Easy!

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the author for an advance copy to review.
