This was a multi leveled book and a great one.

On the most basic levels it's the story of Judith and Carmen. They're two women in the travel business, one an agent, the other more of a researcher.

A second level is that they meet at a travel association conference in New York City. And while Judith is from New York, Carmen is from Chicago.

From there the story adds on the plots about both womens' families (or close friends) as well as contrasting stories of where they work.

It's an intricately plotted story, each level of it fitting into and around the others. It never seems as though any of the meetings of plots are forced either, they flow nicely into each other.

It's a fun read as most of Bella Books books are, but for some reason it show more seems like it has just a bit more depth than some of them. show less
A good, solid romance. I think this is the third time I've read it. I had already read my favorites of the author's this year and am working on my A-Z challenge and GR reading challenge so I didn't want to duplicate. I like the themes in Out of Love.
