Mariana Zapata seems to be the queen of the slooooooowwwwwwww burn. Her books have an entirely different feel to them than a lot of the quick read romance novels I usually sink my teeth into. These books move with a slow purpose. I also have read the Wall of Winnepeg, and I preferred this one. My one complaint with this one is that the epilogue is over in a flash. I wanted even more!
