It was about a married couple going through hard times and finding their way back to each other, as well. I really enjoyed it and I wonder if I would like this one, too. I'm not sure I'd care for the open ending, but marriage is always a work in progress and I would have hope they would keep growing and healing together. Beautiful review, Keertana! :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682335183798720529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-76691755519713790082013-08-30T17:09:25.593-04:002013-08-30T17:09:25.593-04:00If there is anything I like about books like this ...If there is anything I like about books like this its the emotional aspect. I love my emotional reads and I just now I am going to enjoy this even if it is a novella! Kai and Kurt sound like wonderful characters and I can't wait to meet them and see how their relationship develops. And of course the hot parts will just be an added bonus! lol ;p I can't wait to read this! Plus, I LOVE that cover! Glad you enjoyed this Keertana!

I'm usually not keen on reading novellas (or reading about married couples, for some strange reason) but I love the sound of this despite that and hope I can give it a try one day.

I haven't heard of this story before nor have ever read a book about woman who had miscarriages and I know what can it do to a person (my aunt had two and I know how much she suffered). Anyhow it sounds like an amazing read.

I generally avoid novellas like the plague because I never feel satisfied when the book ends, but it sounds as though this might break those rules for me, huh? I really think I need to read something by Florand...soon!

I keep meaning to start them sometime, but this one sounds so awesome, I might try this first. Especially since it doesn't mean a 3 book commitment. Thanks for the nudge, Keeertana! I've been reading more adult books recently and this one sounds like a good one to try out, too.<br /><br />Wendy @ <a href="http://www.themidnightgarden.net/2013/08/allouryesterdays.html" rel="nofollow">The Midnight Garden</a>Wendy Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471461156849725177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-30650840893109164802013-08-28T16:37:12.661-04:002013-08-28T16:37:12.661-04:00Sounds beautiful, but heartbreaking.

I'd pick the former. BUT I think this book sounds so true and relevant to life, and I love that the author tackled such an intense and heart breaking subject. I think I'll start with the former subject, but I may move onto this depending on how I like those. BUT with your high praise, I'm sure I'll want more like you do. <br /><br />I am a little wary that these characters' story ends in such a melancholy place, however, Though I imagine that a brokenness like this takes a lot of effort to heal. Will she be revisiting this couple, or is this novella complete?<br /><br />This is sort of relevant, but have you read Jhumpa Lahiri's book of short stories THE INTERPRETER OF MALADIES? It is an amazing collection, but I remember she has a short story in there about a couple that falls a part after a miscarriage. I don't remember all of the stories in the book, but that one still impacts me, though I read it ages ago.
