Finding this baby on my kindle made for a great surprise. Even though this book isn't required to read after the Goddess Isles series ended, I sure would recommend it because it adds another dimension to that amazing series, and the characters, Sully and Jinx. Getting to see this love blossom even more than what was seen in the series feels like a bonus or reward after the hell I went through watching these two traverse a very VERY bumpy road to get their happily ever after. I don't take HEA's for granted and with these two I wasn't sure if they were even going to get one. That is why I loved this novella even more than the first one. It was just one more chance to see how these virtual reality simulations could enhance an already epic love story.

I am not sure how the author does it but she manages to create a vision with words that is so much more than words. If I close my eyes, my senses come alive and I come as close as I possibly can, from an ebook, to experience the touch, the smell, the taste, and experience the sights and sounds of these simulations.

I loved getting the chance to visit with Cal and Jess again, and also see Elder and Pim. I liked the surprise tie in with Q and Tess and would have loved if Sully and Elanor had also hopped on the same train as thought as Cal and Jess because I would have loved to see them both having that chance to love unconditionally. However, I understand that is not for everyone.

This book also had the blurb for the next book that Pepper is writing and I CANNOT wait. It also hinted at the possibility of another book that could have ties to this series if read the inferred meanings which has me SUPER excited. Granted, this author could rewrite a restaurant menu and I would get excited. There is a reason that she is one of the authors that I own every book that she has written. ( )
