Review: she writes from her heart!

I will give Christine Brae credit for writing another well written and beautiful book.The main heroine in this book is a 42 year old woman, Jade Richmond, who is a top executive at her company, rich, successful and smart. The only thing that is seemingly lacking for her is a real and deep true love. I have to admit here that I didn't connect with Jade at all. I didn't know her, I didn't understand her while I was reading this story and I wanted to SO desperately. I felt so removed from her because she was so cold and aloof and so superficial with all of her shopping expeditions and name brand clothes, shoes and bags.But as the story continued and I got to part 2 of the book where I learned more of her history and what happened to her, I was able to see why she would protect herself by remaining so impersonal because at that point, I did feel for her and my heart broke for her.This is not your typical romance story. It is completely different and was out of my comfort zone. But Christine does again what she did in her previous books and writes from her heart and gives us things to think about in our own relationships and lives. This is Jade's journey and while she struggled and eventually triumphed, I experienced every moment with her and that is my takeaway from this story - that Christine is an author I truly love reading - I feel so deeply when reading her books, she moves me with her words and I will definitely read more from her.So while I was confused for a lot of this book and didn't understand some of the things that Jade did nor did I agree with some of her actions, I wholeheartedly think Christine Brae is an amazing author and encourage everyone to give this book a try. <3
