Darra's Review:
I have been very lucky to have come across Vivian Winslow's series, The Glided Flower. I have not just read it once. But twice in this past month. Mind blowing. Not just reading it twice, but her books. With each turn of the pages, I wanted to slowly read each word to draw out every little detail of what happens to Lily.
Well, besides the cheating parts. You just get angry about that. Have you read a book that makes you feel what the character is feeling? That is great writing. And I believe Vivian did just that. Although I wish I felt all of Lily's adventures, I can only read and imagine. There are so many fascinating characters in the book, it is an over load in my brain! I can't help the smirk I am wearing just thinking about Rio.
What a vacation. Can we consider it a staycation now? Whatever people, read it and you will understand.
My rating? You will have to wait till Friday till I give my overall rating for the series. For now I have included one of my favorite scene's in the book. And a taste of Rio.
Excerpt:
Lily
was too on edge to relax. It wasn’t long before Marcelo stopped the massage to
ask her. “Why are you so tense?”
She
shakes her head in response. She wants to tell him it’s because she makes
terrible decisions when it comes to men, that she doesn’t completely understand
then and it’s all because her mother fed her some fantasy about finding a
prince who would always be faithful and good. Instead, a single tear escapes
and trickles down her face.
Marcelo
wipes it away and kisses her cheek. She looks into his warm eyes and pulls him
down to her. His lips are as warm as she imagined them to be. Lily gently bites
his lower lip, and he groans in response.
