Re: Mirror of My Soul
Dear Ms. Hill,
Mirror of My Soul took me on a powerful emotional journey. I’d read Ice Queen and anxiously awaited the sequel. I was not disappointed.
Marguerite is a strong character, one who knows how to take care of herself, and she does so often and loudly. She’s my kind of heroine – fierce and honest. Marguerite is forthright about all her feelings – even the ones that embarrass her. If she needs space, she’ll take it. If she’s uncomfortable with affection, she’s quick to tell someone to leave her the fuck alone. She is the master of her own domain, the captain of her ship, and Tyler rocks her world because he is just as viscerally honest with his emotions. Tyler’s determination to share in Marguerite’s world is just as fierce as her determination to remain alone.
What follows is a passionate battle, one where Tyler and Marguerite are getting to know each other in ways that will shock them both. The beauty of their discoveries is the love that grows with each new secret revealed. They meet each other head strong and work to accelerate each other’s self-actualization through acceptance. Tyler and Marguerite bring out the best in each other because they allow each other to be weak, and in that process they give each other strength. They are each other’s important half.
Ms Hill, you have taught me a very important lesson. As adults, we only become more adept at hiding our childhood scars and insecurities. It is through a blessed union with another who dares to love us more than we love ourselves that gives us the strength to move from our childlike spaces of hiding, into an adult world of overcoming.
I do not expect many erotic romance novels, especially ebooks, to be full of literary depth or to leave a lasting impression. Many are fluffy tales, a quick candy fix that I enjoy to leisurely pass the time or take a break from life responsibilities. Mirror of My Soul goes beyond a superficial “Romantica” read and is a rare gem among erotic romances both in print and ebook. It engages all senses, providing more than a quick stroke story. It is sexy and passionate written with the seductive quality of a poet’s voice. Your beautiful way with words, impressive plot and evocative characters managed to reach inside my heart and draw out tears of redemption and healing. In your story you managed to take us full circle, showing us the most evil and beautiful of humankind. Thank you for sharing your vision and talent in Mirror of My Soul.
Sincerely, Solaine
