Five stars!!

Fletcher has proven herself to be a one click author with contemporary romance. But she has also proven herself to be an extremely captivating narrator as well. I have always connected with her written words and felt them to my core. Hearing the author bring her characters to life just added a depth to the whole story that was heartfelt and riveting. It’s a beautiful book, beautiful series, and beautiful performance.

This cute romantic romp is an easy read for an afternoon. I am enjoying the cute town this author has set this series in and tend to enjoy the lost love trope. The heroine was quirky. Rose and Liam both carry their own baggage and idiosyncrasies. Don’t overthink this one – it is a cute story set in a charming town.

I got sucked into this world immediately and just couldn’t put this book down. Just an amazing book that needs to be a one-click for every MC lover.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this first book of this series and was looking forward to the next installment. Thankful to say Matthews did not disappoint. To have a complete picture of the story as it unfolds I do recommend this be read in series order. However Matthews does a beautiful job telling this story in a way that it can be read on its own without missing much. Intrigue, deception, romance, and some time travel allow this historical piece to enthrall the senses and unfold beautifully. I love a good historical piece and found myself wonderfully transported to the Highlands. Loved every page.

Nash does a beautiful job being true to the roots of the fairy tale but placing it in a new time with new circumstances. I flew through the pages and will be eagerly reading this classic again. Looking for a clean feel good romance? This is for you!
