I'd like to take a swing at Hugo myself! This was a great story of the difference between selfish obsession and real love! Self love and the confidence it brings allows others to truly love you and respect you as you respect yourself! I learned these lessons in my own life! This book brilliantly portrayed all the emotions and fears, of both the abusive relationship and the respectful loving relationship! Wonderful book!!

Very cute and charming romance read that would be great to take to the beach with you! I am typically not a fan of romance thanks to Harlequin romances. I can read Ms. Dawson's and enjoy them because it is not that cookie cutter type of romance novel. The messages on the coffee cups that disappear when cold was a nice addition. The characters are never one-dimensional but well developed and interesting. I know when I get a romance novel by her that i know it will be good and can read them in 4 days or less even when busy.
