Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 06 6, 2012
This is a story of intrigue, romance, suspense and love; the love between a father and daughter. This book is full of twists and turns with an unexpected villian. Formally called, "A Time For Legends", a title that the author didn't choose and didn't want, now has it listed as The Unicorn's Daughter, a title that I think is more fitting anyway.James Lynde is a war veteran turned spy with the CIA. Code name: Unicorn. After the war is over, James decides to find himself a wife and job so that he can appear "normal" without blowing his cover as a continued spy. He marries the boss' daughter and gets the cover that he so desperately needs, appearing a normal, up-standing member of society with a job, wife and home.However, he doesn't love his wife. Through the loveless marriage comes a daughter named Jaime. As most little girls do, she is wrapped around his finger tightly right from the very beginning.But, because of her loneliness, her knowledge that James doesn't love her and has never loved her, Jaime's mother dies, killing herself. And, as if that isn't bad enough, Jaime soon after all of this is told that her father has died too.As strangers posing as relatives come to claim Jaime, to raise her, Jaime continues to have questions. Questions that she won't rest unitl she finds the answers to.There is also a romantic element to this book as well. Jaime meets a man by the name of Nicholas, who works for the American Embassy. He falls firmly in love with Jaime, but she's having committment issues. Tickling at the back of her mind is the whereabouts of her father. When she finds cards and packages with a postal date after his disappearance, her quest begins.Jaime's been betrayed by those she trusted and used by the man she loved. Now that she has Nicholas, will she ever be able to make a commitment? Will Jaime find the answers she's looking for? Will she find her father? And, if she does find him, what kind of a reunion will they have?  Set over several decades, and several different countries, this book will have you wanting--no, needing--to find out the answers.This was a great read from a book published a long time ago. With a new title and a fresh new cover, I'll bet this book is better than the original just because of those two elements. I give this book 5 stars!!
