Elliot Mabeuse

This is a review for the online version of this novel.

It tells the story of Conner Devlin and Emma Fiore, who meet each other at the Poetry course he teaches and she follows. Poetry is not the only thing he teaches her and she does more than simply following his lead.

Being an online text, the typos are naturally forgiven, and are insignificant compared to the writing style, which is for the larger part thoughtful and evocative, and rare for the genre.
(An exception must be made for the words used by either character in the heat of their passion; these are rather crude and repetitive, as one may or may not expect.)

In his Smashwords biography the author writes: "What interests me now is not so much the things people do, but how they feel about what they do—male and female dynamics, how we connect to ourselves and each other and to the world at large."

This text is a depiction of that interest in a story. It is not the kind of romance a harlequin reader might appreciate, but as a depiction of two souls connecting, it is among the best I've ever read.
