A CD soundtrack as an accompaniment for a love story woven around a woman artist will definitely be alluring. I find the title of this book attractive but the romance genre falls outside my scope. Congratulations on making the BOTD.

This romance sounds interesting. Since it sells with a music CD, I’m sure there is great emotion while reading it and listening to the CD. A story told from the journals of a woman is an interesting format and I’m intrigued.

Art is a subject that doesn't interest me, so I think that I would struggle to get into the overall storyline of this romance novel. I read romance, but I tend to pick romances that have a subject that will pull me in and I don't think this book will be a good fit for me.

This seemed to be an interesting novel where the the characters are relatable due to their being involved in previous love experiences that influence their actions and behavior towards each other. The historical flavor adds drama thus making it more attractive to the readers. Congrats!

This romance novel comes with a CD. I think that is a unique idea. But truthfully, I had a hard time understanding this review and can't really tell if this book is something I would want to read or not.

Latest Review: The Artificial Intelligence Rights and Responsibilities Act” by Alton Booth

Post by Jorge Leon Salazar »

Inspired by a poem and set primarily in the late 1970s. The author tells the story of a young art professional dedicated to redefining the legacy of a Spanish artist's work, which refers to the southern region of Spain in a town called Málaga, where flamenco culture begins its legendary flowering.

I like the subject of the book but it doesn't sound exciting. Of course, not all stories have to be exciting. There sounds like there may be something interesting to the romance in the book. The characters have things in common but it also seems like there's something mysterious there which always makes a good love story.

I can tell by your review that you are a fan of poetry and appreciate the beauty of it. I have never come across a novel that was inspired by a poem, but this one sounds very engaging. I like that you explained the intricate relationships of each of the characters and their ties to each other. I think that the cover photo is beautiful and the use of Spanish art as a plot line is great.

Reading a journal about a female artist who falls in love with a Flamenco dancer sounds interesting. It is bound to be captivating. Thanks for the great review!

This sounds like an interesting way to read about the culture of Spain. I like the premise upon which the story is built.
