I heard about this book because Ruthie Knox recommended it, and so I bought it (Of course, because that is what one must do when RK suggests that one do something.)  I was expecting it to be good, but I was not prepared for the full, intense poetry of the story.  Cowan creates one of the most beautifully flawed set of characters I've ever read in a romance, and she does it in such a way that makes you want to simultaneously rip them apart for their foolishness and sob for their pain.  It's hard to talk about the story itself without giving away a lot of things that aren't in the blurb, but suffice it to say that this is one of the most romantic romances I've read in a long, long time.  It's a literary romance.  That category might not have existed before, but it should exist now, and its place should lie somewhere deep in the intersection between the circles of Courtney Milan and Paulo Coelho.  John Venn would be honored.
