Cover Description:
Love is an open door…except when it keeps slamming in your face.
Hopeless romantic Milly Rose has had her fair share of heartbreak. Obsessed with all things Disney, she refuses to give up on finding her Prince Charming – he’s out there somewhere, isn’t he?
When Milly is given a job to investigate the origins of an historical building in the village of Clovers Rest, she’s not sure what to expect. What she discovers takes her breath away – a beautiful real life Cinderella castle, complete with turrets, a magnificent drawbridge AND a very handsome owner…Cameron Heartstone.
As Milly and Cameron begin to unearth the secrets of Clover Castle, they can’t ignore the intense chemistry building between them. But they’ve both been hurt badly before. Can they take a big leap of faith and find their own happily-ever-after?
Read on for my thoughts on Fairytale Beginnings. No true spoilers, promise.
I do not care what age you are at this moment in time. I want to take you back to the very first Disney fairy tale movie you ever saw. Snow White. Cinderella. Beauty and the Beast. Entangled. I want you to, for this moment, re-imagine the magic, the wonder, the glitter, the handsome hero, the beautiful maiden but mostly I want you to remember that unexplainable magical moment when you simply fell in love with these timeless characters.
I want you to hum “When You Wish Upon A Star”, sing out loud to “Tale As Old As Time”, waltz around the room to “One Day My Prince Will Come”, I need you to remember the shivers that went up your spine the first time you heard “Can You Feel The Love Tonight”. I want you to repeat those magical words of Bibbidi, Bobbidi Boo… I want you to believe in magic once again.
If you can do any of that (without feeling the least bit silly) – then you have found the hidden treasure chest that is Fairytale Beginnings.
Cameron and Milly are such a charming, delightful couple. Clover Castle is a magical place filled with secret passages, hidden rooms, buried treasure, a few ghosts, and a magic that will steal your heart. Step onto the greens of the village that surely has not changed for centuries, and is home to a wonderful cast of characters – many of whom you just might recognize their counterparts. A village with a protective dragon, a mystical ceremony and the feel of happily ever after each day of the year.
No, I’m not going to tell you this tale. You need to go pick this novel up and drown in the magic, the wonder and the love of two people who are living a fairytale – and yes there is an evil villainess, I’m certain you can pick her out easily. The cover description is enough to give you a taste of what is to come – the rest you should discover for yourself. I will say this… Fairytale Beginnings is pure unadulterated magical fun. And no one should spoil that fun for you before you read it for yourself. Go ahead, step into an enchanted forest and live the magic once again.
Fairytale Beginnings is available in paperback and for the Kindle
