Review: Needed to be Longer...
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 12 9, 2013
This story is so short that it's almost over as soon as it's begun.  It's more fairytale than historical romance, what with the time traveling heroine, death seeing hero, and little leprechaun-like men running around!  Despite the short length, I found the love story to be quite touching.  Mary, the heroine, has OCD when it comes to clutter and comes across as a little flighty.  On the other hand, Cian, the hero, is a tortured hero and quite empathetic.  Poor Cian is cursed with the gift of Sight by which he can see the death of his friends and family before it occurs, but has no ability to change the event.  While reading the story I could almost feel Cian's despair and loneliness.  Overall, I enjoyed the book, but in IMHO it was way too short.  Don't let the 87 page count on the product page fool you....this story actually ends at 36% of that page count.  The rest of the book is a sneak peek at another of the author's works "To Sin with a Viking".  "A Wish to Build a Dream On" is a nice, quick read.  The perfect length for before bed reading.  A little longer would, IMO, have given the story more depth.
