I loved this book from start to finish. Don't we grow-ups yearn for an adult, sexy ,literate love story with lots of surprises and twists and turns? So, this novel never disappoints. Marek, former editor of Robert Ludlum, keeps this story moving and Heyn, with her in-depth understanding of what makes men and women tick, collaborate magnificently. They add their unique talents to give us a gift for Christmas. Wow! What a find. I can't wait for the sequel...

Then the beautifully written characters made my heart ache and all I could do was hold my breath and wait to see what happened. As much as this book is about the journey to love it is also a well written love letter to all of us, calling us back to a quieter more thoughtful way of connecting with ourselves and those around us.

In our age of Twitter, Match.com. texting, sexting, iPhones and Facebook, can two adults – he a West Coast book anthologist, she a Vermont maple sugar farmer – fall in love the old-fashioned way, through meeting, attraction, lust, adversity, resolution? No, says Jove, God of Gods. Yes, says his son, the God of Love, whose career depends on it. Jove allows him only one intervention to effectuate the passionate, iffy romance between Evan Cameron and Eve Golyakovsky, whose life experiences make them wary of giving themselves to one another, and he blows it. Because of an ice storm that threatens to destroy Eve’s maple trees, and Evan’s ex-girlfriend’s illness that compels him to take ...
