Light and Shadows by Estela Vazquez Perez introduces us to actress Teresa Guzman who has gotten her big break and landed a role about the true life story of a murdered prostitute. It also introduces us to Eloisa Morales, a professional singer who is working on putting her life back together after the tragic death of her fiancé. Their lives become intertwined, along with the men who are in them, Joaquin and Marcos. Light and Shadows is a romantic journey through overcoming fears and learning to show your soul so you can learn to trust.

Estela Vazquez Perez has created a beautiful story of pain, searching, and love with Light and Shadow. I could really connect with this book and the characters within because of the issues they have to overcome. Love, while a splendid thing, is not always easy to accept; we all have our battle scars from life and living and I love that neither Teresa or Eloisa are perfect but they can learn. The writing style here is rich and brings forth images that will stick with you. I love it when I feel like I can just wrap a book around myself and stay in the world it has created. It takes skill for a writer to be able to evoke that kind of emotion and Estela Vazquez Perez has that skill. I would highly recommend this book to any reader who enjoys romance with deeper plots. It is not just about the romance involved in this book; it has many layers.
