Review # 1 was written on 2011-04-14 00:00:00 Kevin Farrens Be careful what you wish for! Charlotte made a small wish without intending to...the kind of passing thought we have every day but don't expect to ever come true. But Charlotte had received a ring through her late-aunt's will, and suddenly her small wish isn't so small anymore. Charlotte is the kind of character you have to love: quiet, kind, and a bit of a dreamer. She blends in with the drapes and hopes that someday her prince charming will actually notice her. When she suddenly becomes the most lusted-after woman in England in some alternate reality, she doesn't change immediately...and that's what I love most about her. She is still simple and modest, until she decides that "Lottie" can get away with anything and it's time to start living. "Shadow" Sebastian is another matter...he is a little shallow and sometimes says cruel things, but his love for Lottie makes up for a lot of that. Because we don't get to read from his POV until about 3/4 of the way through the book, he is a little two-dimensional at first. But after we start seeing into his side of things he "fleshes out" nicely. Not all wishes are meant to come true, and Charlotte learns this in a very painful way that was wonderfully written. She learns that love doesn't always conquer all, sometimes it only complicates things. But when she makes up her mind to have her HEA, she goes about it in a way so different from how she would have acted in the beginning of the novel that it's like I wanted to applaud. The plot isn't very complex or deep, but it is a wonderfully written and entertaining book. I'd recommend it to any fans of romance.

I can't see where people disliked the book. I thoroughly ENJOYED this book. I didn't want to put it down. I thought the book was well thought out in reference to the story line and I can't wait to read what happens to the rest of the characters. Maybe it was my low expectations but I really thought the plot line was refreshing from other historicals of tortured hero/heroine. The paranormal twist was good and since I like paranormal romances I enjoyed it. If you want strict historical this isn't your book. Charlotte makes a wish that unknowingly is granted due to an inheritance of a ring that apparently grants the wearer one wish. Since she is a spinster who is in love with her best friends brother that she has barely spoken a word to, the story that followed was a heartwarming tale. I also like that it wasn't a HEA abrupt ending. (I don't want to go into much detail because of spoilers) I hate when the book rushes an ending and I didn't feel this was rushed although Sebastian's and Rockhurst's "friendship" could have been played upon more but otherwise I loved this book. The book delivered (including some very steamy scenes that stole my heart --- and my breath!) I'm almost tempted to give it 5 stars but I will give it a solid 4.5 stars.
