A 5-Heart book leaves me with a book hangover where I can’t stop thinking about the characters and plot for a quite a while after I’ve finished reading. Recently someone asked me what I consider the criteria for a 5-Heart (star) book. Life has taught Ondro not to hope, but then, he never believed in love at first sight either…. But with their separation looming, confessing his feelings would only lead to pain and humiliation. Soon, he catches a glimpse of the home he longs for. When he is put in a position to offer Jamie comfort without hope of recompense, Ondro doesn’t hesitate. Jaded Ondro never would have guessed he could fall in love during a brief layover-until now. During a layover in Basel, Switzerland, he meets Jamie, an American living in Scotland who is as brilliant as he is beautiful. The demons proved impossible to outrun, though, and now, desperate for somewhere to belong, Ondro is returning to start over. Eight years ago, Ondro Smrek fled Slovakia and the bigotry that drove his first lover to take his own life.
