The result was a bachelor’s degree in English and history. After being fed a steady diet of books, she decided to learn about writing. ABOUT THE AUTHORĪnneka Walker is an award-winning author raised by a librarian and an English teacher turned judge. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255. The opinions I have expressed are my own. While I had an idea for what was going to happen at the end, there were a couple of surprises in there, too.ĭisclosure statement: I receive complimentary books from publishers, publicists, and/or authors, including NetGalley. The secondary characters (Tansy’s aunts, Marcus’s family, and the townspeople) all add to this story and make it richer. I would have liked to see a little bit more with Tansy’s dreams while she was at Rose Cottage as that was what initially draws Marcus to her, but other than that, the story was well written and entertaining.

While the first half of the book dragged a bit for me, things really picked up in the second half. Marcus and Tansy are likable characters from the moment they each walk on the page, and I was rooting for them. Fans of the fairy tale will enjoy picking out the subtle references throughout this book. Walker is a nod to Sleeping Beauty in a regency setting.
