I sandwiched this novella in between current non- fiction and my next fiction that I know is going to take me longer to read. I find that's a successful relaxing technique when the in-between book is easily read, but well-written!
The Adonis Touch by Rosemary Gemmell
This was a really nice, quick and well-written read. Just the ticket for a late summer read when the night's are drawing in.
The idea of the gods and goddesses of Greece /Cyprus still being around in contemporary times is an interesting one. I might have to go back to Cyprus again to check that out since my one and only visit was a good number of years ago. Though maybe the fact that I'm still happily married would nullify a visit to meet Adonis anyway? (Errr, Nope- I'd go just for curiosity's sake!)
Was the relationship between Mike and Katie going to come to fruition anyway without the nudge from Adonis and Aphrodite? That is a big question the reader must ask themselves. When it's love coming around a second time it makes for a different kind of read. Mike's a truly patient guy but Katie seems, at times, a bit too tentative for me but hey! - When singled out by the god and goddess of love then a certain inevitability must surely follow.
I'm now only 6 books behind schedule on my Goodreads challenge but I'm not trying to cheat by squeezing in some novellas- it just so happens that some have been on my kindle for a few months now and it's time for them to have a turn.
Slainthe!
