I found this book to be easy reading and well written.

It gives us a look into Internet dating for any of us that have not done this

The characters I found humerus and charming.

Ms Rumzi has just the right touch of pulling you into the story and the lives of her characters. What started out to be just a simple conversation between to people leads into romance.

This is for people who want a little drama, humor, and to just get away from the world for awhile.

I'm afraid I only enjoyed brief parts of this book. The rest was just...confusing. It is primarily told through emails sent back and forth by the main characters. Which was perfectly fine, until some of them were apparently out of order or missing/omitted. There were a lot of major aspects of the characters lives that you kind of had to assume or guess at through vague references. I honestly wanted to stop wasting my time and start reading something else, but I'm too OCD and had to make myself finish it. The sad part is I really liked the main characters. The author did a great job of giving you a feel for the personalities and lives of Salma & Merrick. I just think I was short changed everywhere else!

I was fascinated with this love story of the deep and passionate love of Salma and Merrick. Having met my husband online myself, I knew how true this story could be....A story of two strong personalities who are truly soul mates and therefore, cannot but be together. Merrick's past attempts to interfere with his future, but Salma, the warrior woman does her best to ensure they can be together....Real, passionate and spiritual too with the right mixture of my favorite Rumi quotes.. Loved it!

In their 40s Merrick and Salma stumble on each other. Life as he knows it changes because of a women's passion for life. This is a story of patience, love and the realization that it's never too late, no matter what your past handed you.
