This was a truly wonderful love story about two people from different races who learn to see and love, beneath the surface.  They learn beauty is really more than just skin deep.
It was gripping and both our hero and heroine made you care about them.  The author did a good job in her descriptive skills so we could envision what they looked like, something many authors no longer do.  It made the story so much better for me.

This is a tale of two people who passionately loved each other but just could not break up or be happy together.  I was very moved by the story, which I'd never heard, and felt regret for all those whose self-imposed barriers short-circuit their lives.

I have seen poor reviews of this book and I couldn't disagree more!  This is one of the greatest love stories ever written.  Many say that the character of Rebecca is to innocent, weak and dumb for the story to be believed.  Not true!  This book is a love story of Rebecca and Race. The whole book is about cherishing that which is important and learning that others do indeed give you strength.  I believe it is a loss not to read this book. I will keep this book to read over and over.

A wonderful love story about a young couple.  They come from families that magically gifted.  Their gifts are both wonderful and disturbing.  The time is during the Viet Name War.  Their lives are shattered.  Can they find happiness and love again?  Read to discover how lives are affected by the war and the magical gifts f these special people.  A special thanks to the City Owl Press for this ARC.  It did not influence my opinion of this book.

I really loved the commitment and undying love between Lawrence and Maria. I love a true love story with pure commitment and not letting anything get in their way to be reunited. This would have to be my favourite part of the book. I haven't read Farmers and Cannibals as yet, so this book was my first introduction to them.

I also enjoyed the storys plots and twists and the sneaky cult-like behaviour and the way it was portrayed, especially in the part where Abraham laughs. This behaviour I think was well portrayed as it was also well portrayed in But The Angels Never Came. It is almost like the author has had first hand experience.

Thanks for the great read.

I have to say that this wonderful short story was indeed a true love story to me.  It's what a lot of us feel when we see someone beautiful and think OMG, there can be no way she is interested in me.  I myself have such bad self-esteem that I don't think I am pretty enough, smart enough, or loveable enough to catch someone so beautiful.

This is a great story that helps me change my mind.  Its hard to say anything more about the story or I will give it away.  But its worth reading and re-reading..

I ordered the paperback months ago and I am really glad I did.  What a wonderful love story about two souls who cross paths and "time" to find each other.  I loved it and I will look for more from Beverly Shearer and will order more paperbacks if

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book and I was surprised by this love story that was very different from what I usually read. Both main characters are/become handicapped in a different way - Anni mental and Matt physically - and have known each other from work but have never been more than colleagues. After Matt's physical condition gets worse he's more and more drawn to Anni - his secret crush for years.
I loved Annabelle Costa's genius writing style that describes very detailed Matt and Anna's rich personalities and life struggles. The storyline flows so easily and lighthearted although the topic is not sugar coated.

As another reader wrote, I can only underline his/her quote: "Even our imperfections are perfect and serve a purpose".

This book is truly a love story from front to back. I loved the book and recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good,mushy love story. It was easy reading and can be read quickly.
Some reviews have stated that the characters in this story were too good to be true. I disagree. Suzanne, Matt and Nicholas and Kate may have not been perfect people but in each of their eyes, they saw no faults in each other. The old saying "Love is blind" is so true in this book.
The book ended the way I wanted it to end. I sort of expected the outcome to be as it was.

This was a beautiful love story filled with two tortured souls who found one another in their dark worlds of loneliness. Mrs. Meehan has weaved a magical web with the this dark new world of the carpathians and it is wonderful. I really loved this story I could not put it down. Shea and Jaques were two tortured souls who found each other and decided they wanted to navigate this world together. Beautiful!

This is such a good book. I liked both characters very much. They were very human and imperfect and wonderful. I loved the development and progress of the relationship. This is a very real love story about overcoming a major life threat that could happen to any of us. Aaron did a great job of taking responsibility for getting the medical side right, and for getting the psychology of all the characters believable and sympathetic. This was a most enjoyable and satisfying read.

What a wonderful love story!  Gabby is a complex sassy character who has been through so much in her life that she has a hard time trusting relationships.  As for Jason, what a wonderfully intriguing person he turns out to be; handsome, manly and yet sensitive.  Without a doubt, I will be recommending this book and am heading off to purchase the sequel.

This was an excellent story! About inter-racial relationships. This took place when it wasn't accepted at all. A very well-written, touching story about two people who fell in love during the war. White woman and black man. The woman got pregnant and had impossible choices to make. Something beautiful can happen in the end when everything else goes wrong.

I really enjoyed the story. Two people so different in many ways and so alike in some others. They were a perfect match for each brought out the best out of the other.
