Review: Weak 3 stars.  Emotional and sexy, but not much plot.  It's shorter than a typical novel.

GATEWAY TO HEAVEN by Beth Kery.STORY BRIEF:Christian is a lead singer rock star.  He wants a quieter life and to create a different type of music.  It's lust and maybe love at first sight when he sees Megan.  He ardently pursues her.Megan lives a quiet life as a sculpture artist and teacher.  Everyone walks on eggshells around her because she was sexually abused when she was three-years-old.  She loves what Christian makes her feel - love, lust, passion.OPINION:This is sensual and almost entirely about their relationship.  No other plot.  So, the misunderstandings between them are the plot.  There are several of these.  For example: one person makes an inaccurate assumption and walks away, or walks away without explaining so the other person thinks the wrong thing.  Some of this was ok, but one really bothered me (in spoiler below).The story is their back and forth until they finally get together at the end and know they love each other.  This was nice if that's your mood.The sex scenes were worthy of the genre.There were a handful of errors that a spell checker would not find, for example "ever" should be "never," "hair" should be "her hair."CAUTION SPOILER:Right after they have sex for the first time, Christian acts strange.  She asks "What's wrong?"  He says "Nothing."  Then he leaves.  Now she is depressed thinking he didn't like sex with her.  His thinking is he was not gentle enough and he was mad at himself.  But does he tell her that?  No.DATA:Narrative mode: 3rd person.  Kindle count length: 3,201 (369 KB) 228 pages.  Swearing language: strong including religious swear words, but rarely used.
