I received this book as a gift from the author.I LOVED this story. It's got it all. Romance. Suspense. Intrigue. Treachery. Fantasy. Humor.Two worlds collide through a marvelous, magical mirror. Modern day Rowena peers through the glass into Caedman's ancient world of warriors, kings and kingdoms, rivalries and wars, castles and keeps, curses and legends, and he gazes just as easily through the glass into her modern world. Caedman needs Rowena's golden key to keep his father's kingdom from destruction. To gain the key, he has to win Rowena's heart. In doing so, he loses his to her. Ah, I believe he won mine as well. Ms. Nuest impressed me with her command of narrative and dialogue, switching easily between Rowena's modern verbiage and Caedman's ancient, flowery language. His romantic words made me want to swoon.One moment the author tickles the reader with clever humor, the next she plunges the reader into dark despair right along with the heroic couple. Rowena's Key is a smart, sexy, magical tale. I will definitely be reading the remaining books in this series.
