This novel was beautifully written, although at times difficult to read and I was very impressed with this new-to-me author. SHELTER US by Laura Nicole Diamond definitely fit the bit. However, I also still enjoy the occasional serious and touching story - one that really makes me think and feel. I find that I read a lot of light and fluffy books that appeal to me more because of the warm temperatures and the sunny skies. Summer is the perfect time for me to read women's fiction.
