This is the kind of hot, emotional, soul-touching story you would expect from Anne Calhoun. After reading Liberating Lacey, I was so impressed with how this author balances hot eroticism with a compelling, emotional storyline. She continues that tradition with this book.This is the story of Ronan (awesome name, just conjures up vision of hot, alpha male) and Thea having a steamy love affair except that for Ronan, it has become more than that. He wants more. She doesn't.Breath on Embers is really about Thea. Thea is a young widow unable to overcome her grief after losing her husband during the holidays a year before. She moves to New York to lose herself. She wants to be "in the void", not feeling, just existing.Ronan has to convince her to re-engage in life. He is persistent and steadfast. And though, she rebuffs him at every turn, he is more than understanding.The timing of this novella couldn't be better. As the cold descends upon us outside, this story is sure to raise the temperature of the reader inside.
