Apart from the unnecessary sex scenes, I enjoyed this fast-paced and well-written story. I enjoyed the sense of place, the beautiful descriptions bringing alive the warmth, colour and fragrances.
It had the usual formula of misunderstandings and mutual love/hate relationships but it was the writing style that kept me hooked.
A lovely love story that is an addictive read, beautifully scripted as is expected from this thrilling author. I will be smiling all day. I do so love a happy ending.
