Summary: The Sights, Sounds,and Smells of NYC
Review: I found this book by accident, sticking out of the shelf in a bookstore, and since it's set in New York, I bought it. I didn't realize I was going to be transported back in time! The details really put you there. The Lower East Side at the turn of the century was a horrible place, but the love story that prevails makes this book magic. The hero and heroine overcome poverty, prejudice, corruption, and all the evils immigrants had to face. I even read some books in the extensive bibliography. Diana Rubino really did her research. I give it 2 thumbs up!

Review: I LOVE YOU BECAUSE is an intriguingly unique book that offers a fresh
voice for romance readers.Vita Caputo knows where her roots are,
but being a good Italian girl isn't doing much to get her where she
wants to be. Then one day she meet a nice Irish cop, Tom McGlory.
Before either can stop the feelings, a chain of events threats to ruin
it all. Tom's cousin is murdered and all evidence leads to Vita's
father and brother. But in New York just before the turn of the
century, things aren't always what they appear to be. Vita and Tom
was find a way to be together, save her family, and bring to cultures
that hate each other together under one roof. Vita is the lead
character in a cast of eccentrics, politicians, and real people
fighting real challenges. Tom is no typical leatherhead. He is the
best kind of hero, sensitive, sexy, and loyal. Along with their
families, these two offer a dazzling look into a muted world in a
troubled time. Excellent portrayals bring them to life on the
pages. This is my first book by Diana Rubino, but it won't be my
last. Her style is natural. One word flows into the next, her
transitions so smooth you wouldn't know you weren't living it. Her
unique voice and exquisite attention to detail make I LOVE YOU BECAUSE
a stunning book. I LOVE YOU BECAUSE by Diana Rubino is all that and
then some. Everything about this book is what writing should
be--original and wonderfully executed. Bravo!
