Happy ever after's and dreams come true in Fantasyland. Follow the lives and loves of Steve, Rick and Sandi. This romantic story will sweep you away.As the title suggests, this is a fantasy story. The love between Rick and Sandi is magical and perfect. Sometimes it was a little too perfect for me. I expected from the blurb for there to be a bit more sadness and tragedy. Don't get me wrong, there is some very devastating moments but overall, their lives played out very much like a long HEA. For a while there, I was beginning to wonder what Steve had to do with the happy couple. My `AHA' moment came more than midway through. I won't spoil the story so if you want to know, you will have to read the book.I do have to commend the author on her excellent job on continuity. With this story spanning over 20 years it is easy to make a mistake in time references. Ms. Starling was spot on with her music and technology. The flow of the story is smooth and steady. There are quips and quotes from songs spanning many years throughout the book and if you are like me, you're liable to get them stuck in your head. You'll be playing name that tune and Lyrical Lingo at the same time.Fantasyland is the prefect book for the hopeless romantics. Anybody who loves a great epic love story will want to grab a box of tissues and read this book.I received this book from JeepDiva for the express purposes of an honest review. The opinions and rating of this review are solely mine and in no way was I compensated.Stars - 3 Flames - 2
