Six years ago Alex Williams was having the best summer of his life.  Travelling through India and Southeast Asia with his friends, he didn’t think things could get any better, and then he met Julian Goddard.  Alex was attracted to Julian immediately but he was unsure whether Julian felt the same way.  He took a chance and the perfect summer went bad fast.

Julian has a lot of regrets in life but none more that the mistake he made that fateful summer.  A chance meeting at a costume party brings it all rushing back and the opportunity finally to make things right.  Is six years too late?

They say you never forget your first love.  Masks of Emotion shows that this is true and that sometimes, your first love is the one true love.  Alex and Julian's initial tentative exploration of their relationship was heartbreaking.  I was dying for them to find their way back to each other.  Ms. Thompson did not disappoint.  Masks of Emotion was like a fairytale romance but one that I believed totally.
