I am going to let you in on a little secret. Now don't go thinking I am some crazy new aged hippie but like Nina, the main character in the book, I truly do believe in the power of  the Universe. If you pay close enough attention to what is happening around you, you are able to see that the Universe is guiding you. It is pushing you into certain situations like in Nina's case taking the bus to work because your car wont start. If Nina was not guided by the Universe in that moment she may have never  met Connor and what a shame that would be.Nina was such a great character. Having been hurt in the past and now being alone except for her best friend she learns to rely on herself. Attempting to protect her heart from further damage she turns to the Universe to guide her and shield  her from making the wrong decisions.  "Nothing and no one will ever hurt me again, because I'll know. I'll be ready for it." It is a lonely existence but one that Nina is living with and surviving by until she meets Connor.Connor is just a delicious man all around. Loyal and sexy with the most beautifully described sapphire eyes. When Connor and Nina meet you can sence the attraction immediately. Connor is funny and witty and just an all around great guy but alas no one is ever perfect and Connor is no exception. He has a past as well and while he is open and honest with Nina about almost everything there is something he is leaving out. Nina being as perceptive as she is knows this as well.I loved the dialogue between Nina and Connor. It flowed well and felt very easy. I loved how their relationship wasn't rushed, you wont find my ever hated insta-love here. Nina and Connor start off as friends and while Connor clearly wants more he is patient and understands what Nina needs even if she doesn't always know herself.When I pulled the piece of paper from the cookie and read the words, my hands shake. It's a message from the Universe. "The best relationships begin as friendships."I really did enjoy this book. The  drama in the story keep me entertained and intrigued to continue reading. Sapphire Universe had a great combination of romance and mystery to keep you hooked and moving along in the story. The plot twists and action were great fun, the characters were well written and the romance was just right.
