Michele G: I’ve been really lucky with my reads lately because I also read Wanderlove by Rachel Blaufeld and really loved it too – 4 1/2 stars! It was the first of her books that I’ve read and I don’t know why. She has some great looking books out there…so I’ll be reading more by her soon.

In the meantime, I really thoroughly enjoyed Wanderlove. Two broken souls meant to be together (at least that’s my interpretation)…their story crawled right into my heart and took residence.
