The plot certainly sounds interesting, and the characters well developed. Great review.

This sounds like it could be a really interesting book. I am interested to see if they will end up together and what the outcome will be in either position.

The author has a wonderful gift for character development. In this story you get to follow two people throughout the course of their lives and by the end you feel that they are your close friends. I Love this characters and it's really a great love story for the hopeless romantic, told in third person. Characters are well-developed and well-written.

In this book, you'll learn the story about Marion, Jonathan and Bella. So interesting

I started reading and I liked the way it is written, sometimes showing the main character thoughts. It is hard to keep up with so many suggestions for BOTD, I hope it does not just stay forever im the I want to read shelf

You wrote an excellent review and really did the book justice. I'm happy you enjoyed it.

Unfortunately, today's BOTD isn't one for me. I'm a HS teacher, and never in a million years could I look at this storyline in a positive light. A romance novel about a teacher and her student isn't one that interests me, but those who appreciate good writing with well-developed characters should check this one out. Thank you and keep up the great work!

I love romantic novels which have good twists in them. It is also wonderful to learn that it traverse continents and beautiful cities, I hope the adventure will not disappoint.

As a parent, it's hard to get past a high school teacher being attracted to her student and the implied relationship. Thanks for your informative review, but I'll pass.

I read the sample and I must say this is a beautiful love story. I must have this book. Marion and Jonathon are such lovely characters and I adore romance novels.

The story begins with the elderly Marion finding her husband Jonathan unconscious. As she awaits word on his condition, she reminisces about their extraordinary love story. She was his art teacher, eleven years older than he. But their love endured for many decades. Will Jonathan's illness mark the end of their romance? I'm dying to know.

I don't usually read romance novels, but this seems to have enough other elements to keep me interested. I like the travel aspect, I always love reading about different places.

When there is an attraction between a teacher and her student... How far will this attraction between Marion and Jonathan go... This is a well-crafted novel. Great review

This beautiful romance tells of the forbidden love betwee an art teacher and her talented student. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your excellent review.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting romance/erotic novel between a new teacher and her student, It might be worth a second look. Well done.

It seems like an interesting book but is not what I could look forward to reading.

Thanks for this review, this sounds like a really interesting book. It sounds like it toes the line in certain aspects, but I'm curious to see where the author takes the story and the characters.
