Today, I'm talking about a book I've just read and would
recommend. If you enjoy warm-hearted and touching and also easy to read, then
look no further. Elsa Winckler has written a novel set in South Africa which
will take you on a wonderful romance ride.
Blurb of
Touched to the Heart:
Discover beautiful South Africa in this sweet,
heart-warming Cinderella story about a blogger, a billionaire, and one chance
meeting.
When it comes to men, if physiotherapist Caitlin Sutherland
didn't have bad luck, she would have no luck at all. To help cope, Caitlin
starts blogging in her spare time, about the types of men she meets and the bad
dates she goes on.
While on duty during the annual Wines to Whales bicycle
race, a gorgeous, sweaty cyclist walks in and sets her hormones dancing. But he
is Don Cavallo; one of the four Cavallo brothers — hotel tycoons, famous as
much for their business skills as for the number of beauties regularly seen on
their arms.
Don Cavallo has his own issues with the other sex. He has
yet to find one who is interested in him and not in his money or hotels. But
when this sexy physio puts her hands on his back she not only touches his body,
but also his heart.
They've both been burned before, but neither of them can
stop themselves from playing with fire.
My review:
I enjoyed this story very much and
couldn't put it down. I like a story that's heart-warming, easy to read, not
bogged down with unnecessary fluff, and filled with conflict.
Caitlin is a physiotherapist and is very
embarrassed by her immediate and intense attraction to cyclist and hotel chain
owner, Don, when he comes in for a massage. Her touch on his back stirs
longings in him he's unable to quench. And Caitlin is drawn to him too against
her better judgement. She's sworn off men and even writes a blog about the bad
types she's dated. Hurt from childhood blinds her in many ways.
I loved the intense physical and emotional
attraction between the hero and heroine. The romance was touching and sweet yet
peppered with a lot of sexiness. The love scenes were hot!
I also enjoyed the large family interplay
in the novel which makes you invested in the Sutherland and Cavallo families.
I would recommend this lovely romance that
ticks all the right boxes.
I certainly hope the author intends to
write the stories of the other Sutherland sisters and their connection to the
Cavallo brothers, especially Hannah.
You can buy her book here: Amazon, Escape
Publishing.
A lovely review, Vicki.
