I love reading mini novels and you can't go wrong when it's by Jane Porter.  Yet another great read by this amazingly talented author.  I fell in love with Estrella.  She is not only beautiful, but she is strong, compassionate and determined.  Carlo is the man you want to hate, but instead end up wishing he was yours.  I enjoyed this book from beginning to end.  Not only did the character's personalities draw you in, but the story-line makes you want to reach out and help those that are less fortunate.  I highly recommend this mini novel.  It's a perfect marriage of love, hate, romance and philanthropy.
