I think I’ve read my favorite book of the year, and it’s only January. Other books, need not apply. With all the buzz from my bloggy friends on Broken Wing, I knew it would be good. And good is just no good enough to describe this book.
It’s not only an epic love story of Gabriel and Sarah, it’s about friendship and healing with things life has thrown your way, that you had no control over. Gabriel’s tarnished goods, and he believes he’s not salvageable. In the event that sets this book up, he meets Sarah’s family and the two are drawn together. Months go by and they haven’t acted on the attraction. One night, he’s invited to Sarah’s room, he believes she wants his services from his profession as a former courtesan. She doesn’t, she wanted to share the stars with him, and with that Gabriel feels there may be a chance he’s able to heal, but only from Sarah. That night starts a friendship, one that Gabriel never had, and one that Sarah needed. It is these encounters that you feel their walls coming down and a wall of love being built around them. It is months even after that, that their love is professed. As soon as that love’s professed, Gabriel goes pirating to bring back a fortune and win Sarah as a wife. It is that moment I knew something bad would happen and it did. He’s taken away from her for years. YEARS. Can a love based on friendship last after a tarnished life has been thrown right back into hell?
I won’t say anything more for the readers that have not yet had the pleasure in reading this book. This book is dark, emotional, but has the star power of Passion by Lisa Valdez and The Raven Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt. I know that I can’t pick up a book right away, I was so immersed in every word on every page. I have purchased 3 more copies of this book. One to let people borrow, one to give to a friend and one to give away on my blog! That’s right, if you haven’t read this book, leave a comment and you’ll be eligible to win. Make a post on your blog and double your chances, just leave the blog link in your comment w/ your email address. I’ll announce the winner on Thursday 1/22, you have until 8pm EST on Wednesday 1/21 to enter.

Hi Cindy! It's so great seeing readers still loving and raving about this book long after the intense buzz around it has diminished. I would love a chance to win a copy... and even pimped your contest on my blog HERE. Thanks so much for the chance to win! :)
Hi Cindy!

I've heard so much about this book and would love a chance to read it!!
Thanks Barbara (how did the hubby deal w/ An Affair to Remember?) and Amy I'm so glad you all, Anna, Kristie have this online campaign to pimp Broken Wing. Anyone want to make that into a pictured link???
Squeeeeee!! I'm SO glad you loved this one!! Isn't it just grand? It spoiled me for other books for a while too. In fact, it wasn't until I'd read this one 3 times (!!!) back to back that I could move on. I feel almost like a proud mama that I was one of the first to read and recognize the specialness of this book :)
This sounds like a very interesting read. Guess I'll have to give it a try!
Kristie, it was AMAZING. I'm having a hard time picking up another book. It is special, so unique. So moving. I can't say enough about it, and can't wait to read more from her!!!
Keep spreading the news!!!!
I would also like the chance to win this book.

Well, I don't have a blog but I've heard a lot about this book, so I'd love to get a copy.
This is one book I keep hearing so much about. I haven't yet bought my copy so I might as well try my luck here. Thanks for the opportunity!
Hi! You make this book sound great! I'd love to wind a copy.
Count me in too! I added it to my wish list on PBS, but with nearly 50 people waiting it could take a while...

You give totally awesome reviews. If I were not waiting to buy books until after I have raided my mothers boxes I would have bought it this morning on Amazon!!! This is the first that I have heard of this book. I can't wait to read it!!
Oh yeah and please add me to the drawing!!
Those comparisons have convinced me - put me in the hat please! :-)
OMG! I would love to win this book. My Borders doesn't have it.
