"Enthusiasm and humor take this story line a step above ordinary"
While reading this story you experience two separate
stories that in the finale combine for an exquisitely
satisfying ending. Baldric deLacey and Gilliam Marrick's love came to a tragic
end during the reign of King Edward II. In present day
Slocum, Indiana, Sydney Vaughn has been dreaming more and
more of Gilliam and Baldric. Sydney believes she is the
reincarnation of Gilliam and when security expert Baldwin
D. Lacey known as Winn, comes to install a security system
in her home she recognizes that he is Baldric... and
faints. While Winn believes she is a bit crazy, he finds himself
feeling more than desire for this purple-clothed sword
collector. He is here as a favor to her eccentric aunt and
he will not leave until he is sure that Sydney is safe.
How he got to arguing with her in front of the whole town
about making love in a past life, he'll never figure out,
but it made him an enemy of the local Sheriff who wishes to
marry Sydney. Now the whole town is involved and it is
anyone's guess how things will end for this trio. Will
they repeat the past or will the present bring the lovers
together? First let me say I do not particularly like reincarnation
themes as they tend to depend too much on predestiny. In
KNIGHT OF MY DREAMS the authors have successfully avoided
this cliché and have written an intriguing tale where the
actions of the characters although definitely influenced by
the past are not dominated by it. The interesting twists of fate and enjoyable characters
take this story line a step above ordinary. There is an
enthusiasm and humor revealed throughout the writing that
makes KNIGHT OF MY DREAMS a pleasure to read. When you
reach the ending, there was a revelation you will find a
fascinating way to close this love story. (For those who
usually read the ending first, avoid doing it with this
book.)
