Love in Madness

A Husband for Beauty by Lindsey Hart

Dallas is a musical genius that gets lost in trying to get the music down so he can get it out of his head. He is a recluse that forgets to eat, sleep and bath all in the name of the music. Leena is a woman that has loved Dallas for half of her life. Since she was 15 she has slowly integrated herself into Dallas' life. Cooking, cleaning, caring for Dallas when he gets lost in the music, taking care of all of the life details for him has become Leena's existence. A huge event takes place forcing booth Leena and Dallas to step back from the daily routine and re-evaluate how they have been living their lives together. Will this new examination and learning period alter their path and bring them both love or will the madness win and forever leave them both in darkness?

It is at this time that I would normally say one click this one to find out and don't get me wrong, you should one click and find out. I just want you to know that I feel that Lindsey Hart may have done to good of a job writing Dallas. His madness is all consuming and frankly I think the 15 years that Lenna has spent caring for him have been detrimental to Dallas and to Leena. I am not sure she isn't a touch mad herself. But that is really where I am going with this. You must suspend critical thinking and reality while reading this story. It really is a Beauty and the Beast or even Phantom of the Opera retelling and that is where you need to keep it. If you really dwell to much in the details you might miss the whole point of the book, at least the point I took from it, love can even find its way through madness.

Happy Reading!
