5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it! April 26, 2012

Paulina's Story is a wonderful tale full of happiness, sorrow, hope, and love. I especially enjoyed the historical setting and it even had me guessing a couple of times (which since I'm a history buff says a lot). It is human interaction at its best with a few tears along the way but ending with a smile. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to more wonderful writing from this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! April 28, 2012

I literally just finished reading this story. It is fantastic! I'm still moved by the emotional drama that takes place. Having a particular love for stories based in or about Portugal and Spain either contemporary or historical I knew I would like this however I can say after reading it now I loved it. It captures the time period well and really gives a sense of the characters life as it may have been. I really liked the religious aspect to this particular story. It still is a vital part of everyday life there as being Portuguese I have a little insight to this. Definitely looking forward to reading El Rey which this story is excerpted from.

Cute little novella. The author is wont to write clean love stories ( yes! "clean love stories", as mentioned on her profile) and this novella is exactly that. The love between paulina and Nuno is cute, tender and touching. I didn't want the book to be over. My words for the book - love and hope.
