Review: Fantasy Romance Novella that leaves you wanting more
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 01 5, 2014
Reading the blurb, it was Rowena's profession (she's an antiques restorer) that caught my eye. You just know that antiques equals exciting stories. And I wasn't disappointed. Rowena buys an armoire, a purchase she's regretting until she finds a hidden key and magic mirror.The story starts off rather slow: I liked how Rowena showed the right amount of skepticism. It made her more likable and the story more believable (I know, it's fantasy, but I enjoy it more if there's a hint of reality in it). From the moment she embraces the existence of her prince and his world though, the story really kicks off and, together with Rowena, your thrown into this magical world.Rowena has no idea what's going on and she's trying to discover all there is about this other world. It's a bit confusing, all this new information at once and right when you think you're starting to catch up, the novella ends on a thrilling cliffhanger.Can you fall in love in just a day? Rowena certainly has the hots for this prince. AJ Nuest brilliantly describes the tension between them and although they are worlds apart (literally), the heat is just undeniable.I cannot wait to find out what happens next. Luckily, Rowena's Key is the first novella in The Golden Key Chronicles, so this story WILL be continued.This review was first published at M's Bookshelf: http://mssbookshelf.blogspot.be
