B L U R B :
Sometimes a single flame can ignite a love that lasts a lifetime.
Milo Phillips knows the meaning of pain. Suffering through the most intense physical agony of his life, he’s confined to a hospital bed to bear it alone. More than once, he wishes he’d died in the explosion that melted and mangled his skin. Darkness consumes him, snuffing all the joy in his life and leaving an empty hole in its place.
But one day, a flicker of light sneaks into his hospital room, driving away some of the hopelessness. For the first time in months, pain isn’t all he feels.
The flicker’s name is Sara Foster, his new nurse. Milo just hopes that Sara can see past his scars. Because underneath, his heart has begun beating again just for her.
R E V I E W :
The Candle Palace is a romance that is sure to warm your heart. Milo and Sara's story was a combination of pain, healing, love, and tenderness. I easily lost myself in their journey, and finished the book in just one sitting. The story was told in mostly Sara's point of view, so we were privy to more of her thoughts, feelings, and background. I felt more time went into developing her character than his. I liked the Milo we were shown, but felt I didn't really get to know him on a deeper level, and I needed/wanted a little more. That aside, the emotion, romantic believability/chemistry, and smooth dialogue made it easy to invest in the relationship and bond as it grew and strengthened between Sara and Milo. Perry's writing was descriptive and engaging. For a novella The Candle Palace was a little on the longer side, but that's nothing to complain about. Any extra time spent deepening the connection between the two main characters is fine by me! If you haven't read any of the books in the Jamison Valley world you definitely should. The Candle Palace was a great addition to the series and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to those in search of a sweet love story to read.
