I truly love stories with two different story lines that work together. Not many people like the whole idea of jumping to the present to the past. However, when done in a way that makes the reader enjoy it, now that's a talent. Now Sherrill Bodine and Patricia Rosemoor bring us such a story in Written in the Stars.As I read the story, I love how the authors start off in the present day and take us back in time by a journal. So, we see the story of Lady Elizabeth York and Will Grey's love play out and how quickly it had to come to an end. However, it wasn't really the end. I love how in the journal talked about watching the play work itself out. I guess the lives of Lady Elizabeth York, Will Grey, and Carlyle have played out a couple of times before they have reached the present day. I think they probably could have made this into an epic story. Yet, I'm glad they decided to focus on 1601 and present day story.With the present day story, I was a little worry with Cordelia Ward picking the wrong man, because she was present with two guys who want her. Innis Foley who has wanted Cordelia since she was 16, but unforeseen had to let her go, but it would seem luck was on his side. Yet, when Morgan Murphy steps into the light, Innis starts to get worry about losing Cordelia to him. Innis will do anything to secure Cordelia as his own. So, start to see the parallels between 1601 and the present day. Seriously, I worry that history wouldn't right the wrong from the past. I should know better, after all it is a romance.Seriously, a captivating story about the obstacles of true love. So, if are looking for something different in the ways of writing styles, you might want to give Written in the Stars a try.Copy provided by the publisher
