Who Recommended Book to Me: Sheree of The Eclectic Reader wrote a wonderful review and I knew I had to read it!




I kissed her again, pulling her up into my arms. Kissing her was like breathing. I had to do it. I couldn't help myself. I pressed my body against hers. I could hear her breathing, feel her heart beating against my chest. My whole nervous system started firing at once. My hair was standing on end. Her black hair spilled into my hands, and she relaxed into my body. Every touch of her hair was like a prick of electricity. I had been waiting to do this since I first met her, since I had first dreamed about her.

My Thoughts:

There isn't much that I can add to the all of the other wonderful reviews out there about this book. All I can say is that this story knocked my socks off!!! I loved the dark gothic feel and the characters were very well crafted and developed. This is a love story that captures you from the very first time Ethan and Lena communicate with each other. I could not tell that there were two authors, this story is seamless and flows wonderfully!! If you want to read more about this book then visit the author's website: Some Loves Are Cursed. I'm very excited to know that there will be another book!!!

Highly Recommended!

  6. I haven't read that many reviews on this book and yours has my interest piqued! That's a sign of good writing if you couldn't tell it was written by two authors.
