The setting is Berlin, 1989, a bustling metropolis of three million souls 110 miles behind the Iron Curtain. Marianne Tucker, still emotionally wounded from being jilted at the altar, decides to start her life anew, a journey that takes her from sunny San Diego, California, to exciting Berlin, the divided and dangerous capital city of Germany. While working as a Foreign Service Passport Officer at the American Consulate, she encounters her runaway ex-fiancé and tangles with the woman who had destroyed their lives.
I really loved this book. Stephanie's use of cold war Berlin is the perfect backdrop of the tangled lives of Marianne, Jake and Sylvia. The author uses her experience in country to add fascinating details to the story. The love scenes are not only erotic and fun, but have an emotional weight, or release, in this case, that makes the book truly outstanding. We'll done!
Love how the author transported me back to Germany, she was very descriptive. I could not put the book down, wanted to see what was going to happen to the characters. All in all, I really enjoyed it!
