In his mid-twenties, the stoic and down to earth Fergus battles with sheep and snow and split loyalties. Sexual awakening heals him, confuses him and tears him apart. Does he have a choice in the unfolding of his life or is there no choice other than to follow fate? Does he put his fate in the hands of Charlotte, thirty years his senior and from a totally different social and cultural background? Opposing worlds meet, attract and repel. Will financial and sexual benefits outweigh his emotional and mental challenges? The reader gains clear insights into the psyche of a young, single farmer with all his inner conflicts about conforming to or rebelling against the tradition of generations. This novel is the second of a trilogy. The other two are called: LOVE OR LUST I (according to Charlotte) LOVE OR LUST III (according to Rhanna) Their styles differ considerably, because each novel is written in the first person from the perspective of the character mentioned in the title. This creates variation for the reader and puts the main characters in three totally different frames of reference.. A fascinating concept. What all three have in common is a Dutch frankness and openness in their style of writing, which makes personalities very palpable and recognisable. Readers easily follow how the characters' psychological and mental musings shape physical actions and longings, especially sexual longings. The books may well become bedside companions for women whose dreams and desires are as yet unfulfilled and for men who are still searching for the relationship of their fantasies.
