Erica Abeel- Conscience Point (Unbridled Books 2009) 3.5 Stars
Conscience Point is the first Romance book I have ever read. Erica Abeel, the author, sent requested that I review her book and I agreed, willing to give any genre a try.

I like this book a lot -- echoes of Brideshead Revistited (one of my all time favorite novels) -- but with modern themes of idealism, looking for love, working women, aging, etc.
