Hello, Agnieszka by E Journey was a great addition to the first book in the series. If you happened to miss my review on the first book you can click here to check it out but you don’t have to read these books in order. You can read them in any order that you want to. I have really fallen in love with this authors style of writing and with the characters in both of the books. There is something that I can’t put my finger on that keeps me coming back and not wanting to put the books down. This book takes place in the 70’s so I could be considered an historical romance for those of us that are younger but I don’t think of it that way. I did like the characters in this book but I think in the long run still like the characters from the first story. If you are looking for a great romance novel than you should check this one out.

About The Author
EJourney is a realist who thinks she has little imagination. Credit that to her training (Ph. D., University of Illinois) and work in mental health, writing for academics and bureaucrats, and critiquing the work of others. She’s been striving ever since to think and write like normal people.
She’s a well-traveled flâneuse—a female observer-wanderer—who watches, observes, listens. And writes. A sucker for happy endings, she finds enough that depresses her about real life, but seeks no catharsis by writing about it. For her, writing is escape, entertainment. She doesn’t strive to enlighten. Not deliberately. But the bias of her old profession does carry over into her writing. So, instead of broad shoulders and heaving bosoms, she goes into protagonists’ thoughts, emotions, inner conflicts, insecurities, and struggles to reach balance and grow.
