A slow-burning, later-in-life romance that has a tropical feel

There are stories that rush toward passion.

And then there are stories that breathe.

I wanted to share a recent reader review of The Color of Love because it captures the heart of this novel far better than I ever could:

★★★★★
“A rewarding character-driven romance that focuses on emotional depth.”

The Color of Love is not a fast or flashy romance—and it was never meant to be.
It’s a story that unfolds gently, through quiet moments, thoughtful conversations, and the slow, honest work of healing.

This reader noticed something that mattered deeply to me while writing it:
the relationships are shaped by life as it’s actually lived—not cliches.

The characters are not idealized.
They carry their pasts with them.
Love doesn’t arrive in a blaze—it grows through doubt, trust, patience, and emotional openness.

For readers who understand that real intimacy takes time, this kind of love feels familiar… and comforting.

The setting, too, plays its part—offering a calm, emotionally rich backdrop that allows transformation to happen quietly, without force. A place where reflection feels natural, and where love is allowed to arrive in its own time.

If you’re drawn to romance that values depth over drama, and stories that honor personal growth as much as desire, I think The Color of Love may resonate with you.
