Blue Rose

The debut novel of author Sui Lynn is unabashedly hot and sweet and romantic. The love at first sight between Quinn and Enjoji is beautiful, and reading about the two of them together gave me goosebumps. I found myself anxiously turning the pages to see what would happen when things started going south (not literally, it's an ebook, after all). I cheered with them, and I cried with them, but most of all, I felt for them, shared their joy in finding one another as they explored their fledgling relationship, and pledged their eternal love to one another.
Sui Lynn has a way of getting into her characters and exposing their hearts for all to see. By the time you finish Blue Rose, you'll really have come to know Enjoji and Quinn. The plot has twists and turns which will leave you breathless, and you'll wonder if they can possibly get past certain things which threaten to crush them and their newfound love. Many books have sex scenes, that isn't unusual, but what interests me is the ability of the writer to make a sex scene into a love scene, which Sui does, very well. It's not enough to read about meshing body parts, anyone can do that, that doesn't mean much - it's the love involved that makes the difference. And her love scenes are hot and romantic both. She brings them to life very handily.
But it's more than the love scenes. I found myself crying over the scenes with Quinn and his mother, their last scenes, in the hospital. She fills them with a tenderness which will tug at your heart strings and make you feel not just the pain but the bittersweet pangs of goodbye. As well as being there for the person you love.
I recommend Blue Rose to anyone who wants a really sweet love story, as well as a hot romance - once you read it, you'll want to read it again, and re-experience it. I look forward to seeing what this exciting new writer has in store for us in the future!
