My review:
Great metaphysical romance. I loved the combination of dharma and romance. Too many people think that spirituality and sex don’t mix – inlcuding Daniel – until Penny helps him to see otherwise. The author does a good job of getting us inside the characters to see their motivations and angst, and the tension is bursting from the pages. An excellent read for anyone who like a good romance and especially for those who like a bit of wisdom within their pages. The book is also well crafted in all areas. Warning though, it’s pretty hot in places.
The author also calls it visionary, but it’s more metaphysical than visionary.
About the book:
San Francisco, 1955
Penny Fanning is the most popular torch singer at the most popular jazz club in the city. A broken woman, still haunted by the horrors of war, she has lost herself in roles she never wanted to play. She is engaged to the owner of the club, a man blinded by ambition.
When her fiancé’s long lost half-brother, a yogi and Eastern religion scholar, arrives from India, Penny finds herself drawn to his spiritual wisdom and mysterious allure. Soon, Penny’s world is turned upside down and she is forced to face her deepest truths.
A prophecy is set into motion, desire builds and danger looms. Until finally they must choose…
the path of dharma or the path of desire
