Review: Fun Quick Read

This novella was just OK for me. I liked it, but I didn't love it. Cora Grames goes to England to house sit for her stuffy aunt and comes across a sexy man in the mirror and tries to figure out a way to make it work with him while also figuring out just where the heck Aric is and why he is even trapped to begin with. Quirky enough plot to get me interested.You get the happily ever after at the end. There is a creative twist that brings our two lovers together, however, the thing that really put me off was Muffin, the fairy godmother. She just appeared out of nowhere and was all up in Cora's business and Cora just opened her mouth up and blabbed her life away like they were old acquaintances. I would have appreciated a slower reveal of everything that was going on instead of Cora and Muffin being all buddy-buddy from day 1.The mirror sex scene... Wow! That was creatively done. That scene alone brought my review up from a 3 star to a 4 star review, and not because it was so steamy, but because the sheer creativeness about how that could logically and physically work were mind boggling to me. Kudos to Myles for coming up with that! Best part of the whole story.At 53 pages, this story was very short and while you get a whole story, it seems clipped. Myles could have stretched it out 20 more pages and gave us some more meat and longing between Cora and Aric before giving us the resolution. The story could still be classified as a novella but the plot could have been more fleshed out. However, that's just my opinion. I like things to build steadily and not combust too quickly. This one combusted rather quickly. I read this book in less than an hour, so it's an easy time waster if you've got nothing better to do. I'm not sure If I would read any other books in the series though especially since they are plays on old fairy tales. Who knows. This one was alright though.
