Review: A Taste of Sun by Heather B. Moore

My rating: 5 stars / It was amazing

Synopsis

From USA Today bestselling author Heather B. Moore comes the contemporary romance novella: A TASTE OF SUN

Winona Grant embarks on a summer-long visit to NYC to house-sit for her great-aunt after a nasty break-up with her boyfriend Paul. But when her aunt commissions neighbor Steve Monti to tour Winona around, they strike a deal. Winona has too many deadlines to play tourist, and Steve is looking for a distraction from his looming gallery opening. So Steve goes on the tours by himself, and Winona reports back to her aunt as if she’d gone too. The longer this happens, the more Winona wants to change her mind. Seeing the city with Steve might be the perfect solution to forgetting about Paul.

Note for readers: A TASTE OF SUN was previously published in A Timeless Romance Anthology: Summer in New York Collection.

My Review

I loved the characters in this novella! Winona and Steve are both confident and assertive people despite setbacks in their lives, and shared great banter. I read and enjoyed this story in the Summer in New York Collection, but since then I've visited NYC for the first time, and so this time when I read it as a single I was able to visualize the setting so much more vividly and had a richer reading experience. Another thing that makes this a short story one that stands out to me is the glimpse into the art gallery scene of NYC. It left me wanting more details, but I still finished it with a smile on my face and imagining what the future would be like for these two. A fun novella and a great deal for only 99 cents!
