Review: Romance within romance, recipe for a tragic ending or redemption?

Saving Drake is a novella length story perfectly suited for a quick mid afternoon read. Or so I thought. I had to take a couple of breaks to sort out thoughts and feelings which came up. Its not just a fun romantic comedy. Not by a long shot. It is the love story within the love story where I found romance rivaling Romeo and Juliet. Only more disturbing by far. An unexpected little essay on the other end of romance when the ever after part of ever after collects its grim reward for loving the right way. In for a penny, in for a pound... such is life. The rich characters in this novel makes both the old and the new seem joyfully and depressingly real. Real and touching. In just under 100 pages, this story paints two portraits. Two major and important themes. At least for me. I was not only entertained, I was moved upon occasion to near tears. For the small investment of just under 100 cents I was touched. A penny a page. I feel like a thief.
