The reason the rate is not 3 out of 4 in my review, is because writing style adequates thoughtfully the author´s description of space details
.

I'm not sure if I understand if you consider this an asset or a flaw in the book.
However, I love art, romance stories and I have a deep connection to my Spanish heritage, so I think this novel is the perfect fit for me.
Thank you for your review!

This seems like a beautiful romance tale of two lovers brought together by the fusion of art and music. It sounds like a worthwhile read.

This romance novel sounds interesting, but not necessarily something I would read. I do appreciate the discussion of different cultures and the beautiful descriptions of scenery and nature. Congrats on the book of the day. Great review.

This sounds like a romantically and culturally atmospheric book with a lot of feeling and plenty of detail regarding art and music. I enjoy a tasteful romance and this book certainly sounds like it is a beautiful setting with a lot of background detail as well. Being a writer myself, I find romance between artists to be a fascinating concept and this sounds very enjoyable. Your review was very thorough and made the book sound interesting.

A book with a soundtrack and incorporates art with romance sounds delightful. Dance and cultural differences add to the depth of characters and plot in this poem-inspired novel.

This book sounds intricate and unique. Romance books are hit or miss for me, but I do enjoy reading about art and its history. I also love that it comes with a soundtrack. Thanks for the recommendation!

I personally enjoy in more contemporary romance novels. I had a bit of a trouble understaning your review and what you tried to say with it.

Thanks for the review, but I don't read romances or books with art history, and Savannah & Alfonso's story will not be the exception.

This book looks quote promising in review, I think, if potential reader is into this kind of thing. Which cannot be said about me, because personally don't like romance as a genre and therefore I will have to pass this one.
