"Each author has her own magic and each story is it's own enchanting gift"
Having read ONCE UPON A CASTLE, I couldn't wait to read
ONCE UPON A STAR. I can honestly say, each author has her
own magic and each story has it's own enchanting gift of
entertainment. "Ever After" by Nora Roberts
You know Nora Roberts; she's yet to write one that isn't a
winner. The woman can paint a picture with her words--it's
amazing! Allena buys a magical necklace and finds herself
on a magical trip. When Conal meets Allena, he realizes his
fight with the past is going to be even more difficult than
he ever imagined. A fanciful, entertaining read. "Catch A Falling Star" by Jill Gregory
Jill Gregory's historical short story is light on magic and
heavy on romance. I love historical reads and found this
one enjoyable. Princess Lianna is being forced into a
marriage with Ambrose the Barbarian. She hates the thought
of being married to a barbarian and resents that he will
not let her use her special gift. While Ambrose fights for
the right to keep his inherited property, Lianna finds her
self fighting for the right to keep her heart. They will
teach you a lesson in love and loyalty "The Curse Of Castle Clough" by Ruth Ryan Langan
A ghostly read. This is one of two that I enjoyed the
most. Warming up to the characters (especially Jamie) was
no problem at all! When dropped off at her next assignment,
the driver warns Estelle that the castle is cursed. Her job
is to estimate and sell some family antiques for Lord
Cameron, who is being forced to liquidate his precious
family heirlooms. A delightful read! "Starry, Starry Night" by Marianne Willman
This is the second of the two that I enjoyed the most. It's
a Time Travel that will captivate you, and a romance that
will move you. After coming to Cornwall, Lily finds her
self lost and in danger. A stranger appears to save her,
yet disappears again. Rees finds himself haunted by the
site of a woman in a white dress, and each time he reaches
for her, she disappears. A wonderful experience of love
reaching through time. Brenda Sue Weeaks /January 2000
