• I have been waiting to read this Book since I finished The Coin and I have to say that the wait was worthwhile! Once again Mrs. Sierra keeps you in nail biting suspense while at the same time engaging you with the intense, passionate relationship of Richard and Gabriela.• Ms. Sierra is a master story teller. The characters of Gabriela and Richard are wonderfully complex and full characters...These two set the pages on fire! • The Book of Hours was even better than the first. Perhaps because it was like reuniting with old friends. It was just as exciting, fast paced and fun to read. It really moved. • The Book of Hours was a literary thrill ride! The characters were passionate and so well-written that you felt like you knew them personally. • What a wonderful sequel to The Coin. The Book of Hours had me hooked on the first page. • This is the first book I have read by the author and enjoyed her writing. Her prose is vivid and you don't have to guess what she is describing. Ms. Alonso-Sierra has a gift with words and it makes the book a pleasure to read.
