A Unique Fairytale Re-telling!

I've never read anything like The Dreaming Beauty! One part fairy tale, one part Regency romance, this book is wholly unique. Told in dual point of view, TDB opens with Marcus Taylor (brother to the Duke of Westmorland), assisting his friend the (un)Masked Baron. It was a delight to see old characters, and the history buff in me loved this scene because of the subtle history lesson. Who knew Napolean attended one of King George's birthday celebrations?!

Marcus was a smart, kind, and thoughtful hero. I adored the meet-cute (who doesn't want to be reduced and cared for by a handsome hero, a la Jane Austen style?). The way he cared for Tansy, and her aunts, was heartwarming. As the story continues, readers learn that he is plagued by nightmares. And watching him unravel the mystery of his dreams was so satisfying.

Tansy White was a soft, caring heroine who is also searching for answers. And she believes the answers she seeks lie within Rose Cottage.

I loved watching Tansy and Marcus's friendship develop as they both sought answers. And when Marcus's brother Simon returns early . . . well, let's just say I couldn't put the book down from that point on! I recommend this book to readers who enjoy Regency romance, fairytale re-tellings, and companion novels!
