Description

<p><strong><em>Have you ever awoken from a vivid dream and wondered which side of waking was real?</em></strong></p><p>Burt Higgins' retirement is not going well. His children have grown, and his wife has gone off to earn a late-life degree, leaving him alone in his sprawling suburban home. With too much time on his hands, he broods on the state of the world, obsessively following the worst of cable news and the Internet. Increasingly angry at the state of affairs, he nurtures a fantasy that a dark lord from another realm has foisted these problems on humankind. If only he could transport to that world, he'd confront the demon and use the magic found there to defeat the beast and end despair forever.</p><p>On a particularly bad news day, while housebound in the midst of a snowstorm, he retreats to his study to shut out the world and immerse himself in his books. When, on a whim, he lights a candle purchased in an obscure Prague curiosity shop, a magical guide appears and offers to take him on whatever quest he chooses. When he asks to become a hero in a fantasy realm, he discovers a more complex world than he expected, and battling evil with magic turns out to be far from his greatest challenge.</p><p><strong>EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS</strong> a specualtive fantasy adventure sure not just to entertain you, but to make you consider your life, your dreams, your goals.

Story Behind The Book

A trip to the sultry Greek island of Corfu with my best friend inspired this sizzler of a story. Hot beaches, blue velvet seas, an island steeped in legend easily set the tone for me to create a fictional couple; a lingerie model and a Greek businessman, both charming, both irresistible--except he has no wish to be tied to any long-term affair. I threw in some sparkly Corfiot wine, sun, sea, handcuffs...and let the laughter and passion ignite.

As they wait for him, Marigold runs to the conveyor belt to grab their bags but runs into a very sexy Greek man. The sexy man turns out to be Stavros' twin brother Dmitri. This story starts with a crash, bang and barely pauses to take a breath.</span><p>Marigold is not just there on vacation with her 'expecting' sister, she's also trying to heal her broken heart. Dmitri, besides being what anyone would want in a hero, also is a very over careful with his emotions. I must say that Ms. Black painted the two of them very well. They both had trust issues and secrets but they both were almost obsessed with one another.</p><p>I really loved their relationship, the ups and downs of first meeting and the process of falling in love. It is very dramatic and sensual, but it also had a happy ending which I wasn't sure it would have (hence the drama). Ms. Black wrote such a good story, I actually couldn't put this down. Then I went out and bought another of her stories. I loved this one and only had two wishes when I completed reading: I wished it was longer and I wished I had been to Greece.</p><p><strong>Overall rating</strong>: <img src="http://www.theromancestudio.com/images/5hearts.gif" border="0" alt="5hearts.gif" /><br /><strong>Sensuality rating</strong>: Mildly sensual</p><p><strong>Reviewer:</strong> <strong>Teresa T.</strong><br />August 25, 2011</p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma, Arial;"></span></p></td></tr></tbody></table><center></center><div style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;border-collapse:separate;"></span><table class="Bs nH iY" cellpadding="0" style="background-color:#ffffff;width:832px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-collapse:collapse;"><tbody><tr><td class="Bu" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;font-family:arial, sans-serif;vertical-align:top;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;"><div class="nH if" style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:1px;padding-left:0px;"><div class="nH"><div class="nH hx" style="color:#000000;padding-top:4px;padding-right:8px;padding-bottom:4px;padding-left:8px;"><div class="nH"><div class="h7 ie nH oy8Mbf" style="padding-bottom:0px;clear:both;"><div class="Bk" style="margin-bottom:10px;border-right-width:1px;border-bottom-width:1px;border-left-width:1px;border-top-style:solid;border-right-style:solid;border-bottom-style:solid;border-left-style:solid;border-top-color:#efefef;border-right-color:#efefef;border-left-color:#efefef;border-bottom-color:#e2e2e2;border-top-width:0px;width:583px;"><div class="G3 G2" style="padding-top:3px;background-color:#ffffff;border-right-width:1px;border-bottom-width:1px;border-left-width:1px;border-right-style:solid;border-bottom-style:solid;border-left-style:solid;border-right-color:#bcbcbc;border-bottom-color:#bcbcbc;border-left-color:#bcbcbc;border-top-width:1px;border-top-style:solid;border-top-color:#bcbcbc;"><div><div><div class="HprMsc mNrSre"><div class="gs"><div class="ii gt" style="margin-top:5px;margin-right:15px;margin-bottom:5px;margin-left:15px;padding-bottom:20px;"><div><div style="font-size:13px;"><font size="4">Here's a review from erotic romance author, April Vine, whose books are so staggeringly sexy, they make me quiver: </font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></div><div style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:11px;line-height:14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;line-height:14px;">I loved it Lelani Black!
