Every story I read of Harper's makes me like her more.  This truly is a great romance read, which honestly I don't typically like romance stories, but Harper has just the right mix of sex, heartache, and character development.  This means the romance is just part of the story and not the end all for everything.  Harper doesn't rely on just tugging at certain heart strings, she really tries to make her characters as relate-able as possible which is apparently really hard to do given how many stories are out there that rely solely on lots and lots of sex and nothing more.  The two MC's in the story each have their own life altering events that they are trying to deal with and I found both of their back stories to be truly compelling.  I also really enjoy the fact that there is a 15 year difference between the two women.  It puts into perspective that regardless of age everyone has their own crap they have to deal, as well as love having no age limits (super cliche of me, I know).  Marianne and Emily were given a rare and wonderful opportunity to find love and redemption.  As well as someone in each other that can help them see past their own insecurities and self imposed unworthiness.A truly inspirational, hopeful, and happy read.On a side note; I've never wanted to really visit Asia but Harper's descriptions of the beautiful locations in her stories make me want to pack it all up and move to a B&B; on the beach. :)**I received a free e-copy of Harper Bliss' Summers' End in exchange for my honest review.
