...So what’s this book about?
This
is a novella (approx 138 pages) about Gemma Melcombe and Terrance Ramsey. They
are characters from the Elemental Mysteries quartet (A Hidden Fire #1, This
Same Earth #2, The Force of Wind #3 and A Fall of Water #4). Elizabeth Hunter
published this story 6 months after she had completed and published the Elemental
Mysteries series and so I actually think this could be read after you’ve read
them all too, in fact, I think this story could also work as a stand alone
tale.
This
book is broken down into nine chapters including a Prologue and an Epilogue and
centres on Terry’s desire to open up Gemma’s heart into loving him as
completely as he loves her.
...So, what did I like about it?
I
am already a fan of Ms Hunter; her writing style, the characters she creates,
and the way she unfolds her stories to us. This book didn’t let me down.
Reading this story, I felt transported into the lives of “diamond-in-the-rough”
Terry and fiercely private and protective Gemma; the way they saw the world,
their priorities, hopes and insecurities.
I
enjoyed the flashbacks into Gemma and Terry’s relationship, giving us that all
important background information and Terry’s attempts to woo Gemma but it isn’t
all slushy lovey-dovey stuff, they are both vampires, after all! I loved that! This
story gripped me from start to finish and yes, a few tears did fall on a number
of the more poignant occasions.
...So, ummm, was
there anything I disliked about it?
No.
Can’t think of a single thing! Lol!
...So, basically what
I’m saying is...
I
really enjoyed reading this story! I loved getting to know Gemma and Terry.
Fans of romantic, relationship based books will enjoy this, as well as readers
of vampire stories.
