Well I gotta say my first little taste of Jill Myles' writing was a huge hit. Mirrorlight was a very quick read but I loved it. There's haunted castles, a hunk of a man stuck in a mirror (naughty, naughty things done through said mirror) and enjoyable characters finding their way to each other against all odds. Really, how could you resist that?The storyline was pretty fun. Cora's been going through a rough patch and gets roped into castle-sitting for a family member (oh my god how fabulous would that be?!). I mean, other than having the ever living tar scared out of her the first night when a man shows up in her bedroom mirror! Of course her interest is sparked and with the help of a very quirky neighbor Muffin (who does things like making chicken soup with actual fried chicken pieces) she sets out to find out how this beautiful man wound up in a mirror to begin with.**quote**Cora put her spoon down in her bowl and smiled. "You're humoring me, aren't you? I probably just imagined the whole thing."The old woman's eyes were shred as they watched Cora. "What do you have to lose, girl?""My mind?""That's cute," Muffin said. "You think you still have it."She had a point.*****So the kinda neat/different thing about this one was that the hero never actually talks until the last couple of pages but it still all manages to really work. I loved the odd relationship between Cora and Aric and oh. my. things get really hot and creative between the two. You know, since he's stuck in a mirror and all. I'm a huge fan of creative sex scenes so this one really worked for me I loved the reason he wound up stuck in there as well. It's one of those catch your breath, tear up and squeeze your heart kinda things.All in all, Mirrorlight was an excellent mix of humor, sweetness and a little mystery from centuries past that combines for a wonderful read that will keep me coming back for more from Myles. It's a free read at the moment on both Amazon and B&N; and one I'd definitely recommend to all romance readers and fans of light time travel stories :)
