The Hundred Loves of Juliet by Evelyn Skye






Do you ever regret keeping a book in you to be read pile for way too long? I do. If you have this book in your pile shove the rest aside and pick it up!

Helene Janssen has left behind a bad marriage and run away to Alaska to write a book. On her very first night she see's a man named Sebastien. Sebastien is the embodiment of a character in her book. She feels drawn to him and while he seems to recognize her he pretends not to and rushes off. This leaves her baffled and a further run in with him leaves her angry, frustrated and curious.

Sebastien is more than surprised to see Helene. He thought he had broken the curse that has resulted in her untimely death over and over again. You see, Sebastien is an immortal better known as Romeo Montague and Helene is a reincarnation of Juliet Capulet. They reconnect over and over again with the newest reincarnation of Juliet having no memory of her  previous lives but will Sebastien risk his heart and his beloved's life?

I have always been a fan of Shakespeares's Romeo and Juliet and this new recreation of their love story makes for an excellent read. It spans centuries, continents and various love stories that will make you heart ache.
