A Veil of Glass and Rain by Petra F. Bagnardi

It's definitely a style that I don't think I've ever read before.“ (Jackie's Book World)

“The writing tied everything together, it felt like reading poetry. It’s hard to describe exactly what I mean, but it reminded me of other French and Italian novels I’ve read-there was a relaxed sensuality to the writing, not only in the love scenes (though those were definitely sensual!) but in the descriptions of scenery, food, emotions, and more.' (Stephanie Parent, author of 'Precious Things') The author is, I believe, European, and most of the book takes place in Rome, and the novel had a very European flavor to it that I found refreshing and different from my usual read. 'A Veil of Glass and Rain is a beautifully written, emotionally evocative book that I definitely recommend. Genres: Contemporary Romance, New Adult, Erotic Romance.
