When Kati Dunai travels to Budapest to settle her father's estate, the
last thing on her mind is the pursuit of pleasure. She's a busy
international conference planner, her life rooted in Manhattan. But
from the moment she sets foot in the city of her father's youth, it's
pleasure that pursues her. At the thermal bath spa hotel where she's
staying, she meets a Dutchman who reminds her of Béla Dunai, her
Hungarian refugee father, who fled his homeland shortly after its 1956
revolution. Jan Klassen is in Budapest to mend from a motorcycle
accident. His scars have healed on the outside, but inside, he cannot
forgive himself for the consequences his son now lives with forever.
Jan has never met a woman like Kati before. Her blend of New England
restraint with gypsy spirit captivates him. While Jan introduces Kati to
Budapest's leisurely pace of life, Kati introduces Jan to her own
leisurely pace of sensual exploration as their attraction to each other
grows over six magical days. When Kati returns to New York, their
relationship continues. But it's not just an ocean that separates them.
Kati's corporate job with frequent travel is the antithesis of the
slow-paced pleasures she enjoyed in her father's favorite city. Which
will Kati put first—her new career or her new love; a man who reminds
her of the father she never fully understood? And is it the Hungarian
pleasure-loving side of herself that she really needs to understand
before she can offer her heart to the man who has awakened her to who
she truly is?

From the author:
My inspiration for this contemporary romance came in 1997 when I
traveled to Budapest at the end of November to settle the estate of my
late father, a Transylvanian journalist and refugee from the 1956
Hungarian Uprising.I stayed at a thermal spa hotel where I discovered the delights of soaking in Budapest's mineralized thermal pools.
The chilly gray skies of off-season Budapest were mitigated in full by the stunning pleasures of relaxing outdoors and indoors in warm, mineralized waters.
The experience of soaking in outdoors warm, thermal bath waters while snow fell all around was mind blowing. It was an epiphany of the senses. Please do yourself a favor and visit the thermal bath spas of Budapest in the off-season.
If you can't quite carve out the time, download Budapest Romance and immerse yourself in my story of an American woman and a Dutchman finding each other in the thermal baths of Budapest. You will enjoy. Promise.

REVIEW
Romance - true romance- will linger in you for all times. This story is set in Budapest, Hungary, a beautiful place where romance can begin and last.
The author, Rozsa Gaston takes the reader to Budapest along with two very different people and their chance for romance.
Two characters, Kati Dunai, conference planner goes to Budapest after her father dies in order to settle his financial affairs. Then there is a social worker, Jan, from Holland, who is trying to get well with the sulfur thermal bathing. Two people, who meet with just a glance, find the beauty of Budapest, the pleasure of each other and a possible lifetime of love.
This story will tell how two people learn to enjoy each other, slowing down and taking time to take in the simple things that are so often looked over. We all can take a lesson from Kati and Jan.
