Gateway to Heaven is a moving story that had me feeling so many different emotions that I felt I was right there beside the two lead characters and their families from the start to the very end. Christian Slasher a sexy as sin hard rock star and Megan Shieve a prim and proper teacher/sculptor are instantly drawn to one another and a touching love story begins.Both with secrets, Megan had a traumatic experience as a toddler so all her family and friends smother her considering her too fragile for a sexual relationship with any man. She is softly spoken and innocent in Christian's (aren't all the sexy lead men called Christian...Nice) eyes. He evades the topics of his past marriage, living arrangements, and career as a singer from her, telling her he is a writerTheir innocent sweet lovemaking gave me goose bumps, with Christian being a sweet sensuous man willing to wait for Megan to be completely comfortable to go further. To the very end he is considerate and understanding, even disgusted in himself when he feels he was not gentle enough with Megan, even if in her eyes it was exactly what she neededDue to her past trauma Megan's mother and sister are unable to accept her moving on into the "wickedness" that is called a living sexual independent being, they want her secluded even if she is 26. Their guilt at what happened has Hillary (Megan's sister) warn Christian to stay away and even confide to him what is not hers to tell in her angry state to put him off Megan once and for all. Hillary believes that they are too different and he is a promiscuous man only after one thing from her sister.Trying to prevent anymore possible hurts, including the possibility that their lovemaking will bring back memories long since forgotten Christian tries to stay away. Unable to keep this up Megan realises that Christian has been told of her past and is devastated at his restraint passion as now he too makes her feel like a percaline doll about to break.This really is one roller coaster ride of emotion, heartbreak, trauma and a journey of love and healing. I loved it and would recommend the book to anyone after a contemporary love story with morals and values
