They are strangers, but both are there for the same reason - to kill themselves. Henry meets Christa on the Brooklyn Bridge in the middle of the night.

But no worries, because although this has very heavy subject matter, a very well-done romance emerges. When I first read the blurb to this story, I was a bit taken aback and unsure if this would work as a romance book. The Bridge by Rebecca Rogers Maher (contemporary novella). And if you want something a little less intense, try The Chocolate Kiss, which is truly adorable. I highly recommend you give this one a try. In the span of a little over 100 pages, this novella gives you pain, hope and some very sexy romance scenes. Kurt knows he could have been there more in the past for Kai, and starts to learn the depth of her depression and reassures her he wants her back. Kai starts to realize the hurt that has consumed her is fixable. At first, both are extremely awkward to be in the same room. But a meeting brings them face to face, and due to a bad snowstorm, they are stuck together in a cabin. Although legally still together, they have not seen or spoken to one another for over a year. After suffering several miscarriages and dealing with extreme depression, Kai walks away from her marriage. We get a glimpse into Kai and Kurt's turbulent lives. I'm a huge fan of Laura Florand's Amour et Chocolat series, which features Parisian chocolatiers and the women they love. Snow-Kissed by Laura Florand (contemporary novella). My Friday recommendations include three contemporaries - two novellas that pack a strong emotional punch and one that delivers a sexy Irish movie star.
