A thrilling story with temptation and attraction in the most unexepected place. Beth's journey is one which is very exciting. The review is amazing. I would definitely read this book.

Even though I read the sample, I was not so sure about this book. Your review might just be enough to change my mind! It sounds fascinating. Thank you for your review.

If it contains intriguing twists and turns, then it is good enough for me. Religious vows are tough. Great review.

Great review, it gave me a better understanding of this book after reading the sample. I did not realize this book was based on a true story, that is interesting. I’m not certain the storyline line appeals to me, even though it’s based on a true story. I’m on the fence about this one, so I’ll give it some thought before reading.

This is an exceptionally gripping work of historical fiction. In some ways, is a classic tale of love between a young nun and a priest, but it goes far beyond conventional stories in this genre with some fascinating plot twists and unexpected developments. And the central character is a woman!

This is a book to look out for, must be very hard for Elizabeth to have experience such a gruesome fiasco while growing up. Thanks for this review.

A very interesting story that explores the relationship between Beth, a nun, and Rene', a priest. I like the setting on the island of Haiti and the plot sounds well developed. Sounds like a good book!

An intriguing tale of a nun that became a mum. It would be interesting to find out the reason why Beth broke vows. It is heartbreaking to witness the maltreatment of fellow humans, especially by those regarded as family.

Romance in a church sounds wrong but also interesting. I am curious to know if their commitment to God is lesser than their desires.
