“Tansy White doesn’t want to end up alone like her three aunts who raised her, but when she is betrayed by her would-be betrothed, she fears she might never change her fate. At her aunts’ suggestion, she seizes the chance to visit Rose Cottage, the country home of her late mother. For years, dreams of the cottage have haunted Tansy, and she is convinced it holds the answer to her hidden past. But after getting caught in a terrible storm, she meets a man who is just as determined as she is to learn all her secrets.
Marcus Taylor, brother to the Duke of Westmorland, is also troubled by vivid dreams. On a sleepless night, as a tempest rages outside his brother’s estate, he makes a discovery far more mysterious than any dream: a young woman, cold as ice, lies unconscious in the library, and he is sure she is the key to solving his problems. When she wakes, what begins as a shared quest for information turns into an unexpected friendship. As they piece together the fragments of their pasts, they discover a tangled web of lies, and their feelings for each other become just as entwined. But is their love as strong as their dreams . . . or their fate?“
With a whimsical and mysterious feel, this story is so wildly unexpected you almost feel like you’re being led by a fairy tripping through a forest on a grand adventure.
There were twists I didn’t expect, and though it began slow with a web of mystery, it was done in a way to create that feeling of whimsy instead of confusion and an aching desire to get more and more into their world.
Each of the family members was written in a way to irreversibly endear them to you and each villain was not as they seemed.
This is a sleeping beauty story with all the rights nods to the story you love, while being wholly and uniquely it’s own.
