Review Extracts:
—Few people can tell a story like Diane. The way she describes people, places, dialogue, and events, is nothing short of transcendent.
— Diane Munier is one of the most gifted writers I have ever encountered. Her first-person narratives are fascinating…
— This author’s writing is so very rich. Lots of details that really demonstrate a level of research that is often not present in love stories.
— Again I am mesmerized by this author and another awesome story. Great twists and turns…
