There are no words for how much I love this book. The author's style has a way of transporting the reader, whisking away the real world to leave only the story behind. And this is an amazing story. From the beginning, it's clear Omar and Devi are meant to be together. Their natural friendship just begs for more, which makes the transition to a relationship superbly organic. Much of the story takes place over a short period of time, but between the characters' shared past and the beautifully portrayed, insanely romantic setting, they couldn't have come together in a better way. This is so, so far from insta-love...it's more like a dawning of something that has been there all along. And in every, EVERY regard, I don't think anyone captures the senses as well as Ms. Warner. Her attention to detail allows the reader to thoroughly experience every moment, but these engaging details don't weigh down the story. Instead they provide a superb backdrop to the delightful crescendo of the relationship between Omar and Devi. This book is absolutely full of lines that are so artistically crafted that I actually savored them, and for that reason alone--for the beauty and subtly of the background--I'm sure I'll revisit this story. I'm thoroughly looking forward to the next book in the series, but in the meantime I liked this one so much that I actually gifted copies to a couple of friends. This is a must-read!
