It's hard to say what it is about Harper Fox that sets her apart from all the other writers in this genre. Or better said, it's hard to point out only one thing. The characters, the story lines, the places she sets her stage, it's all beautifully written and skillfully arranged. This book, like all the rest she has written, draws you in from the very first page. But the combination of the above stated is a requirement for any good read. What Harper Fox does better than any other writer in this genre, in every book she has published, is something much more. She paints with her words; not only the stage and the characters in the most vivid colors, but the feelings, the scents and the sounds. Her books will leave a sweet taste on your tongue, a tingle under your skin; she lets you feel the rain, the ocean, the cold winter air. It is an experience both beautiful and exotic.I've read many books in my lifetime, across all genres. Some of the best have stuck with me. Certain sentences, a cleverly turned phrase, those are my weaknesses. I carry them around with me like other women wear diamonds; as an armor or an accessory, whatever the situation calls for.What Harper Fox has given me to carry are the sounds of a restless surf, the warmth of a gipsy campfire, the dust motes of a kingdom created, and so much more I could not put a price on. Neither accessory nor armor, rather a piece of magic and beauty, a flower that never wilts.
