Review: My first, but not my last story from this writer!

I don't want to reveal too much about the story, as going in blindly--the way I did is best. The book description will tell you what you need to know about the actual story, but I want to tell you about the writing. This is the first time that I've read any of this authors work and I was thoroughly impressed with the lyrical feel of her words. It is what I look for in a good book. When I began to read her poetic words, I instantly settled down for a good journey, getting comfortable and sinking into that place where you know that you can get lost into a 'deep' story. That only happens for me when I can enjoy the words every bit as much as I can enjoy the unfolding story.When I had to put the book down for such mundane purposes as going to work, getting off the bus etc. the characters stayed alive in my mind as I wondered what was going to happen next. Once their tale ended I wanted more, but not because the ending wasn't satisfying, but because it was just that good. This isn't a long story--but that's not to be confused with a 'rushed story'. This author has taken the time to write descriptively instead of with instant gratification so that she can just get to 'wham bam thank you ma'ame'. I would have enjoyed this story in novel length because it has so much potential with all the visuals to take the story even further. There is a whole carnival world, and the dynamics of Tiny, and the rivalries...but I'm not here to point out what the author should do only to rate what she has done...and I give this a double thumbs up for a short, sweet and sexy story!
