This wonderful book is a must-read for fans of romance, and I suspect that it might even appeal to some readers who don't normally consider the romance genre their cup of tea. The story is sweet yet sad, touching and totally engaging. It's about two people who would have led completely miserable lives (and had up until then) had they not met each other and fallen in love, despite the considerable obstacles of their pasts and the shame they both feel limited by. This is definately a five-star read, but there are two things that could have made the book even more enjoyable to me. One, I was expecting there be at least some modest detail when the characters finally made love. There was a lot of build-up and other scenes in the book where sexual things were described fairly frankly. When the characters finally got together and it was only implied and not described at all, I found that surprising and dissapointing. I cared about the characters so much and was so into their story that I wanted to know everything that happened. The second thing is the epilogue. It sort of took me down from the emotional reading high that I had after the happy ending. In my opinion, the epilogue should have been earlier and showcased a happy time in the prime of their lives together. But overall, this was a fantastic read. I enjoyed every page of it and hated when I had to put it down. I definately recommend this to well, anyone!
