Truthfully, I'd given up reading "romance" novels this year due to my huge disappointment the last couple of years, not only with my favorite romance authors, but in other genres as well.Then I stumbled across this lovely book by Anne Mallory and took a chance, something I'd promised not to do again, especially by an author I'd never read before. Just goes to show, old dogs can learn new tricks.This was a riveting read, what I'd hoped for in all those disappointments mentioned above (be happy I don't catalog them by name, authors). This book has it all....characters that leap off the page and keep you driven to read on, an unusual, well thought out and thoroughly delivered storyline, erotic and believable love scenes (for those, like me, who can admit that's part of the attraction of this genre...for me, women who deny it are like all those men who used to say they subscribed to Playboy for the articles!), and a satisfying sense of closure. None of the characters were given short shrift, all the loose ends were tied up, and I hated, absolutely hated that the book was finished.I will definitely be looking into more titles by this author. The lady can write and at least in this book, doesn't shortchange her fans (of which there are many, I'm sure, and I am now one), or slap her name onto something that was obviously written by illiterate hirelings she keeps in the basement (again be glad I don't mention names).Way to go, Ms. Mallory.
