Reviews:

A Woman Like the Sea by Anne Brooke is a really emotional and poetic short story. Frankly, I am amazed at how much I enjoyed it, at how easy it was to get lost in it. The writing is superb, and though in some parts the language is very flowery and complicated, it is never too much. The entire story is very intense, and tension, both sexual and emotional, is very palpable all throughout, which I believe fits the narrator – an artist who lives everything she feels through her paintings – incredibly well.” [Read the rest of this 5 star review at Dark Diva Reviews]
