just finshed it ( review submitted to Netgalley this morning) - an incredibly moving read, and just when i thought it was safe to relax there's the begiing to the sequel - arghh noooo...I need that book now Julia! When's it due out? I know DL isn't til feb 15 but I was hoping not too long after - not another year or so like so many reads?

So happy you liked Drawing Lessons, Jeannie! The follow-up book will be out later in 2015 (I can't stand to wait years for follow-up books either).

I'll look out for that. I so enjoy a "good" romance, one with backstory and bite and though there are hundreds of thousands of them on kindle so so many are just meh....that suits lots of readers of course - Mills and Boon made/make a fortune from the genre - but for me I need that extra spark.
