Seven Days in June

Seven Days in June by Tia Williams, 328 pages

When they were 17, Eva and Shane had a drug-fueled torrid week that left them both emotionally scarred from their rapid-fire intense love. Fifteen years later, Eva is both the single mom of a precocious 12-year-old and the author of an erotic series of novels about the forbidden love between a vampire and a witch. Meanwhile, Shane is both the reclusive author of a handful of critically acclaimed literary novels and a recovering alcoholic. A chance meeting at an author panel kicks off a week of getting to know each other again, both the good and the bad.

What a refreshing addition to the romance genre. Shane and Eva are complex people with difficult pasts and a LOT of baggage to deal with. But these elements don't detract from their chemistry or the steamy love affair that they embark upon. Without giving anything away, I'll also say that I LOVE the way this book ended. Well worth a read, even if you're not a romance fan.
