Love In Modena
If you've loved Luca and Naomi's story in Under A Namibian Sky, then you'll be thrilled by Love In Modena, the follow-up novella to that much-loved contemporary romance novel.

Theirs is a lifestyle others can only dream of.
But neither expects that an unforeseen foe in their midst would test their relationship to the limits.
"Often I am left with a feeling of 'what happened after' in romance books, and it was really refreshing to read a follow-up story." - Amazon reviewer.

Naomi and Luca have found marital bliss in Modena. Each day their love grows. They are stronger together than apart. Nothing could ever come between them... Nothing.
Under A Namibian Sky is a beautiful romance set in Africa, but when I heard the author was going to write a follow-up novella, I clapped my hands with glee. I was so looking forward to reading more about Naomi and Luca. I am glad to say that the wait was worth it. Love In Modena (A Desert Love Novella) by Angelina Kalahari, is a compelling romance and one I thoroughly enjoyed.
Often I am left with a feeling of 'what happened after' in romance books, and it was really refreshing to read a follow-up story. Things are not easy for Naomi or Luca, and the story was very compelling as well as heart-warming and romantic. Ms Kalahari's elegant use of language gave this story an almost poetic feel. I truly loved every minute of it.
I adored both Naomi and Luca in Under A Namibian Sky, and my affection for these two characters did not waver in the follow-up story. A lot happens in this book. Some new characters are introduced, and not all of them have good intentions. This drives the plot forward and left me turning those pages long after I should have called it a night!
The world that Ms Kalahari has created is both real in the telling and easy to visualise. The characters leapt off the page, and it is one of those books that I am going to come back to again and again.
Fabulous storytelling. Fabulous romance. Fabulous book.

I really enjoyed this book. It's a sequel to Under A Namibian Sky and such an unlikely and sweet romance. I hope the author continues with the story and I'll be looking forward to the next book!
