I love, simply love her romance books. No matter if she writes full length novels or like Between Then and Now, a sweet novella, I adore them all!! I'm not a huge fan of romance-only books, but Zoe's stories are simply the BEST ROMANCE STORIES ever. I'm not fangirling over here, just read her books and see for yourself, because her writing style and flow speak def for herself.You want to read romance that melt your heart, put you in awe, make you feel, make you want and long for more, without suffering through overly dramatic nonsense and too perfect or annoying characters??!! Well, then I can only advise you to read her Wardham series. Her characters are real and it feels as if I'm right in middle of the story; I can relate to her characters and understand their doubt/problems. And nope, I'm not married yet or have kids, it's just the way Zoe writes; her way of writing is just pure bliss to read and extremely refreshing. Don't assume she's all fluffy-tuffy, cause her sex scenes, geez, they made me fan myself BIG TIMES!! They're hot but not slutty,and she has this way of making your anticipation grow until you want to scream lol.Between Then and Now, which can either be read before or after What Once Was Perfect, is the story of Carrie and Ian. A couple that rushed into marriage 8yrs ago. Let me say it like that: A one-night stand gone wrong. Love didn't bring them together, but it was love that kept them together. For Ian it was love of first sight, while Carrie had other future plans then to end up on a farm, changing diapers.After 8yrs, both forgot to take some time off for themselve; their life contains work,kids,and household. Carrie is visibly unhappy but both push their unspoken distress aside and try to work it out... what best way to try to work it out, forgetting their 'problems' for few minutes other than with sex ;)?But the sex doesn't help and both hide something from the other...things that might could threaten to tear them apart. Until one day, when Carrie unexpectly calls Ian and hears part of a conversation she wasn't supposed to hear...."He was committed to getting them back on track, and hoped that after tonight,..."Is Ian able to keep them together after Carrie heard something, something she was supposed to?? Find out for yourself ;)All I can say is, I would soooo keep Ian... He is a keeper ladies, simply because of that: "He was hard and sinewy in all the right places, with shadowas and valleys she wanted to explore with her mouth and hands and eyes, but her tough went to the line where dark faded light on his arm, neatly following the curve of his muscles." ---btw his body didn't change that much over the years, so yep, he looks yummy and trust me, his words make your heart melt!!I can only recommend Zoe's Wardham series (and men), they're to die for!!
