I am a huge Kathryn LeVeque fan. This is my favorite contemporary novel of hers. The narrator is excellent, and able to convey all the emotions of the characters. The story moves along at a good pace. You can’t help but root for the two main characters, Cord and Alix. Are there really men out there that are as thoughtful and deeply feeling as Cord? I say, absolutely! I married mine 20 years ago, and we love each other more today than 20 years ago. Please keep writing your contemporary novels! Just like the novels “Darkling, I listen” and “Purgatory”, the stories just keep getting better! All 3 of these titles are worth your time to listen along.
