Where do I start? Do you ever find yourself 1/4 of the way into a book and find yourself slowing down because you already know you don't want to see it end? Yeah, that was me with "Ours is Just a Little Sorrow."Ms. Hayes can write scenes with such stunning detail. They will completely immerse you into the story. Sounds, smells, atmosphere - wow.I'm not one to gush often, but I need to gush about this story. I absolutely loved it.Other reviews have commented about this ebook being genre-bending. I agree with that. I went into it thinking it would give me a touch of Steampunk and perhaps a bit of romance and I left my brain open to whatever the author decided to throw at me. As a romance - A+. Hayes can write sexual tension. O.M.G. Wow. Loved it.See, I'm gushing.If you enjoy bedroom scenes that are packed with emotion, then pick this one up. I found myself slowing down yet again to savor the words on the page.It had a few niggly problems - I wish the author had given me more physical descriptions of the main characters. I got plenty of their traits, attitudes and beliefs, but I'm not sure if she ever described the lead female. I also would have liked an earlier intro to the mystery and maybe more scenes building up that story line of this short novel. One final wish - more time with the young boy, Phillip. He was a treat in the few scenes he appeared in.But none of those issues would make me take away a star from my ratings. It is a wonderfully written story. UGH - I loved this book! I want more like this from Hayes...and soon. Please?
