Review: Meet Me in the Garden by Rosa Sophia

This book was published on January 10th, 2015 by Limitless Publishing, LLC. I received a copy from the author in return for an honest review. 

A columnist for a popular magazine, she attends a function in Palm Beach at the famous Breakers Hotel, only to cross paths with graphic designer Ian Gardner—who appears to hold the key to her visions. The more time they spend together, the more Amalie realizes how much she wants to be with him. And how much she fears admitting that she loves him.

Ian can’t remember the past, but he is drawn to Amalie with an intense passion he’s never felt before.

Many moons ago, they met in a garden. Different names, different faces—but their souls were still the same. Unable to resist her, Ian falls deeply in love. He remains by her side as she battles severe facial pain, not knowing what it is or if it could kill her. Frightened for her, he swears his adoration without ever speaking the words.

But their devotion has dangers, and they’re about to be faced by hazards neither of them could have foreseen... - Goodreads.com

I liked this book more than I thought I would. I rated it a 4/5 stars because some of it did not really seem plausible at first. It was definitely interesting though. 

Amalie doesn't really know why she's dreaming what she is, but she doesn't seem to have any kind of interesting in finding out beyond brooding about it. I couldn't figure out why it was so important that we knew about the dreams she was so uninterested in. Why does the reader need to know if Amalie herself is just going to disregard them as not something she needs to research? 

Ian felt a little too convenient. Does that make any sense. It felt like he was there just because in the dreams that she had a mate. It was obvious who he was supposed to be right away. I didn't know why this was important to have him in there, especially when he was just doing nothing at all to help further the story.

What really made me give this story 4/5 instead of 3/5 was the actual story writing. I love the way Rosa writes. You sometimes forget that you're reading. You feel like your standing or sitting right there in the room as it's happening. I love how she hooks you with the story. I actually asked her about this one and it's very neat when you find out what is really going on in the book. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book of hers I have. (Orion Cross my Sky).
