Budapest Romance
Rozsa Gaston, author

Adult; Romance; (Market)

When Kati Dunai travels to Budapest, she stays at a thermal spa hotel where she meets a Dutchman who reminds her of her late father, a Hungarian refugee who fled his homeland shortly after its 1956 revolution. Over six magical days Jan introduces Kati to the leisurely pace of Budapest's thermal spa culture while Kati introduces Jan to her own leisurely pace of sensual exploration. But can their feelings for each other grow once Kati returns to New York and Jan to Holland?
Reviews
The traditional healing properties and beauty of the thermal spa baths still enjoyed throughout Budapest are the true stars of this thoughtful romance, which focuses on emotional connection rather than the physical kind. Busy American conference planner Kati Dunai is in Budapest to settle her father’s estate and mourn his death. Though she certainly notices Jan Klassen, a large and attractive Dutchmen with a kind smile, she only offers him friendship, in light of her father’s death and her short stay in Europe. As Jan and Kati explore Budapest and savor its baths, she slows down his physical overtures in favor of digging deeper into his psychology, allowing Jan to open up about his own challenges at home, such as raising his disabled son. Gaston (Black Is Not a Color) explores whether true love can cross oceans; readers may be skeptical, as Kati puts up one obstacle after another, but they will cheer on Jan’s efforts to win her over.

"A fascinating excursion to modern Hungary through the eyes of two very appealing characters who meet and fall in love in that famous old city."

Quirky Lady Bookworm

I went into this book with hesitation because I’m not a romance lover and I don’t usually read ‘chick lit’. The premise was fascinating to me and I decided, “why not?” I’m glad that I took the proverbial plunge and delved into this book. The main character, Kati, is mourning the loss of her father while Jan is there to recover from a motorcycle accident. Both of them have been dealt rough hands in life and are hesitant to open up to one another; especially since they are from two entirely different worlds. She is an American and Jan is Dutch; Budapest is just where they happen to meet. It’s fun to see the innocent flirtation of a chance meeting where both notice one another and look away when the other looks.

It’s something that all of us have or may feel someday, that “first look”, the curiosity, the fear of opening up to someone new and taking chances; as it is so relatable, it’s certainly easy to put yourself in Kati’s place…or even Jan’s.

It’s a wonderful story and I have to say, I’m quite delighted that I took a chance. I’m looking forward to her next book, Sense of Touch which is more in my wheelhouse as people say, as it is about Anne of Brittany and Queen of France.

I give this a four out of five; I would have liked more description about Budapest and been enveloped fully into their world. Regardless of that slight error; I enjoyed the book greatly.

"You will not want Rozsa Gaston's elegant and atmospheric Budapest Romance to end. This inspiring journey is a haunting story of true love that is all at once simple, beautiful, universal and loaded with heart. You will fall in love with the characters and get lost in the old time elegance of journeying to the romance of Budapest. As delicate as the snowflakes falling upon the majestic baths of Budapest, the fleeting beauty of Budapest Romance is arresting and to be savored."
