Despite that fact that the title sounds like a bodice-ripper, this book was a joy to read.  It was like eating flan.  You know how flan looks like a deceptively simple dessert and how it slides down your throat with such pleasure? But if you ever try to make flan, you understand that making it is really more an work of art than a task.

de los Santos' first novel is full of poetry and light and makes you feel like you're eating flan.  And you know all the while that this author is so talented that she can make it seem easy to write a book this wonderful.
