what are readers say!

This is a beautiful love story between two people who had many challenges to overcome to be able to be together. While I love the story, I felt the constant reassurance of feelings was a bit much. It is beautifully descriptive but often repetitive. However, I do appreciate the fact that it tackled the prejudices of society and the way it resolved conflict.

I recently finished reading Simply by Love: Swimming Between Two Sweet Waters, and I must say, it’s a gem that exceeded my expectations. This beautifully crafted book is a poetic and heartfelt journey that explores the depth of human emotions and the complexities of relationships with such grace. The author’s writing style is both engaging and evocative, drawing the reader into a world where love and self-discovery flow seamlessly between moments of joy and reflection. The narrative is rich with metaphors that paint vivid imagery, making each chapter a sensory delight. I found myself moved by the characters’ journeys and the universal truths embedded in their stories. If you’re looking for a book that touches your heart and resonates long after the last page, this is it. A truly inspiring and unforgettable read!

This book crafts a heartfelt and complicated love story that tests the limits of loyalty and choice.

But when Andrew returns, alive and still in love, she’s caught in an emotional storm, torn between two men who both claim her heart. With captivating secondary characters and unexpected twists, Hugoson explores the painful, often impossible choices love demands. This poignant, beautifully told story is perfect for readers who crave romance with real stakes and depth. Loved this book.

This book plunged me into the tangled lives of Elisabeth, Andrew, and Erickson in a way that felt intensely personal and real. Jimmy Hugoson masterfully navigates the complexities of love and relationships, capturing the essence of human emotions with beautiful prose. As Elisabeth’s world unraveled, I found myself deeply invested in her journey of love, choices, and self-discovery. This book reminded me that the path to true happiness is never straightforward and often requires making tough decisions.

A difficult read. In a story with many things left unsaid and constant repetitions of certain words like, solace embrace, relation, etc., we navigate between point of views and characters without any description of the characters and what happened to create the conflict. Only on chapter 14 does the reader find out that the first husband had been deployed and was declared dead then came back to his wife. I find lots of telling, very little showing, with multiple repetitions of thoughts and scenes. I suggest to the author some positive and strong editing to improve the overall quality of the story.

I read this book during a weekend getaway and couldn’t put it down. I didn’t realize until I started that this was the 3rd book in the series (now I definitely will go back to 1 and 2). The characters were well-developed, and the plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat. The author’s writing style is both poetic and engaging, making the story come alive. While the pacing was a bit slow at times, the overall story was worth the read. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good romance with a touch of magic.

It’s a very nicely written love story, Paris. Many people are at a loss in this world when it comes to romance, and the bar is set so high at times that you have a hard time finding peace, but this book has a nice journey toward inner peace. It’s a good read if you’re a fan of heartfelt romantic stories.

This final volume of the series is gorgeous. I enjoyed every line and the introduction of Bertrand adds something magical that makes me ask what next? Paris, the city of love is well described and at sometimes I feel I was walking in the streets myself and went to visit the Eiffel tower and Notre dame de Paris among other historical places.
