Unloved: first review posted!

Kerin over at Euro Reviews posted a very kind review of my story Unloved!

A little confession...outside of my circle of beta readers and personal friends, Kerin's was the first review I've ever received as a professional, published writer. It made me squeal with glee! She gave me five European Union flags out of five! I'm delighted.

Here's a link to the review.
Note that there are LOTS of reviews and other fun things on the Euro Reviews site! Take a little time to tour and enjoy yourself there! Kerin also kindly agreed to let me repost the review here.

Young Nona Hartley chose Jude Danzig to be her first lover and is devastated when she confesses her love to him and he coldly dismisses her feelings. She leaves Miami determined to forget him and immerses herself by taking over the operations of her family’s citrus grove.

Jude has never gotten over Nona’s rejection and decides to show her that he’s a different man than the one she abandoned two years ago in Miami. When he purchases a local competitor’s citrus grove, he’s determined to show her he means business…but will his painful memories still keep them apart?

Unloved is a sweet love story about a child that was punished for his father’s transgressions and therefore never accepted the existence of love. Jude’s emotional intensity translates into love and as he strives to understand his feelings, he still struggles to acknowledge Nona’s love. She helps him to understand his feelings and vows to love him for who he is and the man she knows him to be. Nina Merrill has penned a beautiful story and when I finished this story, immediately added her to my auto-buy list. Her talent for character development makes her an author to watch out for!
