I have avoided historical romances forever because I thought I wont be able to relate to the characters...when I started to read Written in the Stars I was not sure what to expect and would I enjoy it?Well.....I loved it! This is a story that encompasses historical romance, mysticism & magic, love and adventure and assertive women for main characters!So we meet Cordelia who is a Marine Archaeologist seeking the sunken wreckage of the Celestine and the treasures it bestows. This find is a right of passage for her in honour of her father who did not live to make the find himself. The Celestine is a legacy to Cordelia's ancestors, which makes this even more important to her. It is in the journals of Cordelia's distant relative Elizabeth that we experience the magic of another time and a linkage to modern day.This story was written with magnificent description that I felt I was there experiencing what the characters were. The story appealed to the little girl in me who enjoyed reading about witches and magicians - and the grown me enjoyed it too!This is a book that I didn't want to see end...in fact I would happily read again and again.A wonderful story that has touched my soul - and I recommend it wholeheartedly!
