In the not too distant future, in a country battered by war, two men fight for the love of a woman they cannot live without. One love grown by an encounter in childhood, another by a chance meeting, not even amnesia or kidnapping can shatter the adoration Lucien and Alex carry for Grace. Already betrothed to one of them, Grace has to learn to trust once more before making her decision on who she loves more, and whose love she will accept.This is the premise of what is, on the whole, a romance story by K. R. Rowe, but it is so much more than that once you get deep into its pages. The book has its heroes and heroines, its share of vital bad guys, and a few good action scenes and hair-raising encounters that should cater for every reader. The prose is crisp and clear, not overly-complicated, and does its job of pulling you along at a pace that is neither too fast nor too slow but feels just right. Some lines are quite special, while some of the descriptive prose easily puts you in the middle of the scene.The novel has its necessary conclusion, but one that leaves the reader hanging on the cusp of more drama to come, which will unfold in a forthcoming sequel.The opening, unfortunately, did lend to a bit of confusion, as it jumped back and forth between periods of time and locations, but once the story settled into its groove the novel became a very satisfying read.Amber and Blue. Read it and find out which side you'll choose.
