Love’s Reverie (Stardust Duet Book 2) by K.G Fletcher- Review by Erin Clemence

Love’s Reverie by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

KG Fletcher brings her musical time-travel romance series back with, “Love’s Reverie”, the conclusion to the “Stardust Duet” saga.

Finally, pianist Philip and singer Kat have been reunited, after literally decades apart. Desperate to keep Kat in his life, Philip proposes, and Kat eagerly accepts. The two plan on touring together after they wed, but their plan quickly falls apart when Philip realizes he cannot leave their small town without literally disappearing. Kat does not want to lose Philip, but certainly can’t let him give up his dreams of being a famous pianist- and Philip knows that Kat has a wanderlust to travel and perform, and he, too, cannot be the reason she gives it up. Now, both are torn with the decision- do they give up their dreams in order to stay together?

Fletcher’s novel is every bit a cute, easy-to-read romance story, with time travel components that fans of “Outlander” will instantly connect with. With an old mirror being the only way to travel through the ages, “Reverie” brings together two people from two different generations, and connects them through their mutual love of music.

I struggled with the relationship between Philip and Kat in the first novel, “Love’s Refrain”, due to the large age difference between the two main characters. In “Reverie”, this was not an issue and I found the romance portion easier to accept, and easier to enjoy. There was also less misogynistic language in this one (being mostly set in present day, there was fewer “doll face” comments), which also made “Reverie” a more enjoyable read.

A delightfully sweet read, full of passion and a love of music, Fletcher’s writing flows well and her characters are adorable and extremely likable. I cheered for both of them from the first page. It is not often that a series of novels ends at only two entries, but I think it is appropriate for this one. Fletcher is able to end the series well, without overdoing it. The “Stardust Duet” duo of books will be enjoyed by “Outlander” fans, and fans of light-hearted romance.
