Thanks for the review! This sounds like and interesting book. I’ve read The Crystilleries of Echoland by this author under her other pen name and The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. I enjoyed both books (though The Fountainhead is extremely long) and I’m curious to see another writing side of Tal Boldo.

Today's praise-worthy BOTD is a well-written romance that tugs at the heart-strings and touches readers on an emotional level. A story about love, sacrifice, the decisions we make, and the paths our lives take as a result. Thank you so much for your beautiful review! :-)

I will have to give this one a try. It looks very inviting, and I’m always enthralled by books that include correspondence between people. Sounds a bit quirky, but I like that approach to dialogue. Isn’t it great when you read a book and then you are lead to another? Happens to me all the time in non-fiction titles, and I love it! I’m never without a book on hand. Thanks for the insight on this one. I’m adding it to my shelves.

Thanks for the great review, but I believe one should be true to your wedding vows. This book is not for me.

I am not a romance fan, but the plot seems to be intriguing. I will set it aside for a rainy day for sure.

A book based on real love letters. And that too with good editing. Seems like a must-read :D

This sounds like great read. A book based on real letters/emails is always fascinating in that it gives you a rare look into someone else's life. The fact it also pulls from the wonderful Ayn Rand is a very nice touch. I'll have to give it a read. Thanks for the detailed review!

This book proves that romances can and should have the same complex characters and themes that other genres do. Great review!

cindyr2416 wrote: 14 Aug 2018, 08:16 I love a little romance with the suspense added. It might be that one little gesture that changes someone’s life and in this case two. I’m interested to see how this all plays out since they are both married. I also am interested in “Atlas Shrugged” now also.
I have to agree that the title is eye catching but I am glad that the book is a fiction novel, because I think that there should be boundaries when it comes to people who are married. I also look forward to see how it all ends.

It seemed to have a unique plot which makes it interesting and intriguing to say the least. The book cover is attractive and says a lot what to expect from the novel. Congrats and happy reading to all fans of the romance genre!

I'm intrigued by this book. Even though I'm not sure about romance, poetry and philosophy mix. You did an amazing job with this review. :tiphat:

I had wondered where the title of the book comes from. The quote you gave from Atlas Shrugged explains it perfectly.
