"September Ends", written by Hunter S. Jones and an anonymous English poet.

This is an unpredictable book. It was nothing like what I had expected it to be when I started reading it. As a teacher and an avid reader, I am not only interested in finding a good plot, but I also tend to look for more literary aspects in a book. I was intrigued after a friend recommended this book to me to find out how a romance writer with a history of steamy-hot novels will blend her writing style with the voice of "September Ends", written by Hunter S. Jones and an anonymous English poet.

This is an unpredictable book. It was nothing like what I had expected it to be when I started reading it. As a teacher and an avid reader, I am not only interested in finding a good plot, but I also tend to look for more literary aspects in a book. I was intrigued after a friend recommended this book to me to find out how a romance writer with a history of steamy-hot novels will blend her writing style with the voice of a metaphysical poet. Incongruous though it seems, they achieved a uniform style, each offering their readership a taste of their unique talents.

Why I thought this was an unpredictable book? Let me tell you about my experience with it. I bought it a few days ago and I started reading it at once. I read up to chapter 14 that day and only made myself to stop because of the late hour and the fact that I had to go to work early in the morning. It is that fast a read and it has HOT-HOT scenes that all romance fans will love. Work got in the way and I couldn't read it for the next couple of days, but the story was imbued in my mind. I picked it up again last night expecting the second half of the book to be equally lustful and that's when the unexpected happened.

Here I was then at 5.20 am. emailing my friend with a tear-streaked face and an overwhelmed heart. It took me at least twenty minutes to write a simple email. I could not find the words to express what this book made me feel.

If I was to give a subheading to this book, it would be "Life in full circle". Love, heartbreak, hope, love, pain, hope again... Isn't that how real life works? That's the message of this book. Liz Snow, the main character, goes through a lot of hardships, as we see in the first half of the book, but life has a way to show her what she should be looking for....what really matters...what we should all be looking for or expecting out of life.

I'm sure that each reader will discover something different in this book. It seems to have everything: lust, real love, pain, positivity...thrilling prose, thought-provoking poems, wittily-funny blogs...

So, high stars from me. This is a book with a difference and I honestly hope it will find the place it deserves on the book market.

I've been reading a lot of new (to me) authors lately, Hunter being one of them. I have to say, I found her writing to be refreshing, different and...new. Absolutely nothing I've read out there is like it even a little bit. It's poetic, fun and endearing. A definite must for any fans of the genre to enjoy.
A 4.5 rounded to a solid 5 rating. ...more
