Another
awesome book by Hilaria Alexander! Her stories are rich in emotion with amazing
characters! The story just sucks you in from page one. And, the setting that
takes place in Amsterdam is mesmerizing. Ella is trying to find meaning in her
life. With two classical musicians as her parents, they insist that it’s her
duty to follow in their footsteps. But, she’s done pretending that that’s the
life for her. So she runs away to Europe. While playing her guitar on the
street, a man tips her more than others have. Their encounter, though, comes
off brash, and Ella is sorry and embarrassed. If she ever sees the man again,
she knows she must apologize. They do meet again. Ella does apologize. And, he
seems familiar somehow. When she finally realizes who he is, she is totally
taken with the man, musician Lou Rivers. As they get to know each other, their
relationship intensifies and Lou wants more from Ella. Ella, however, first wants
to make some decisions about her future. With that being said, their
relationship takes a turn for the worst. Will they ever find their way back to
each other??
Oh, wow, I
was so immersed in Ella and Lou’s story! It was beautiful and alluring! The
music. The backdrop of Amsterdam. The love story. Everything just was
breathtaking! I was going to give this 5 stars, but for some reason I just
couldn’t. Something was missing. And, if I have to be honest, I really didn’t
know what that was. Maybe I needed more angst. Like possibly the ex-wife
putting a crimp into Ella and Lou’s perfect romance. She maybe wants Lou back.
And, then Lou and Ella have trust issues. And, then having to fight to be
together. That might have done it for me. I’m not sure. Mostly this was a
heartfelt romance with two confident and courageous characters that were meant
for each other. Looking forward for more from this author...
