Rating: 5 out of 5

I loved this book! The author, Jean-Louis McMillan, has created a contemporary romance with some really lovable characters with complicated issues. Adam is trying to overcome post traumatic stress disorder and a past in which he chose career over family. Jasmine has been the victim of a demoralizing marriage and now has difficulty allowing herself to be attracted to men.My favorite aspect of this book is the author’s exquisite descriptions of the electric energy between Adam and Jasmine. Set amidst a cast of the world’s political players, it’s like a Tom Clancy thriller meets Nicholas Sparks. You can literally feel the crackling between the main characters; their attraction to each other is so real and so strong, it transcends the limitations of the page and fills the room. The author did a very nice job of creating a romance that is so hot, so steamy, and so descriptively erotic; it is a stellar recounting of a love that surpasses everything that has become mundane about today’s works of romantic fiction.I simply refuse to ruin the ending of this novella for you. It will have to suffice to say that the ending is so packed full of surprise that this book will haunt you long after you’ve finished the last page. You’ll be left re-hashing the plot in your mind, wondering at all you ever thought to be true about love and happy endings.Well done, Jean-Louis McMillan! This book is much-deserving of the 5 stars I’m giving it! Let us hear from your pen again soon.
