On the heels of their previous collaboration, Once Upon
a Star, four of America's most beloved romance authors present what
is sure to be a popular collection of magical stories, wherein
princely gentlemen (both human and not) sweep dazzling damsels off
their feet and into a land of happily-ever-afters. Roberts opens
with "In Dreams," a lyrical, contemporary tale about a 528-year-old
magician who is granted only one week each century to experience
life as a mortal man and the woman who helps him understand the
difference between his fantastical powers and human-size love. In
"The Sorcerer's Daughter," Gregory takes her readers back to
medieval times, as a sorcerer's daughter matches wits with a knight
as they each seek to claim a mystical necklace. She wants the
necklace to free her father from prison; he wants it to win the
hand of a princess. Langan follows the dreaminess of Roberts's and
Gregory's tales with "The Enchantment," in which she gives the gift
of time to two workaholics by stranding them in a beautiful summer
mansion long enough for them to meet and fall in love. To conclude
this lush collection, Willman sends enthusiastic readers off to
romantic Venice in "The Bridge of Sighs," where a woman longs to
solve an old mystery and be reunited with her ex-husband. |
