As some folk's say, it's been a minute since I read this enjoyable book. Though I first downloaded and read it several months ago I never got round to writing a review.Zuri and Christophe characters are well-rounded, vulnerable yet strong when they needed to be and infintely loveable.I like the way Christophe eventually stood up to his domineering Mother and decided to live life on his own terms. Zuri also matured, emerging from the protective wings of the family she fought so hard for to discover who she was.Overall a touching, sensual story about two flawed but remarkable individuals set in a backdrop of intruiging corporate drama, betrayal and family upheaval. I also agree that the vivid descriptions of the lush island of Martinque had me longing to visit one day!Overall, I believe a well written book will speak for itself (pun intended ;D)and I am always willing to acknowledge and celebrate what in my opinion is solid, creative storytelling. We cannot all love the same things and there is absolutely nothing wrong in differing opinions! A wise person said to me many years ago, 'the cream will always rise to the top'. Quality can never be hidden and will prevail.Peace
