About this listen

Once upon a dream, two cursed people fell in love . . .

Tansy White doesn’t want to end up alone like her three aunts who raised her, but when she is betrayed by her would-be betrothed, she fears she might never change her fate. At her aunts’ suggestion, she seizes the chance to visit Rose Cottage, the country home of her late mother. For years, dreams of the cottage have haunted Tansy, and she is convinced it holds the answer to her hidden past. But after getting caught in a terrible storm, she meets a man who is just as determined as she is to learn all her secrets.

Marcus Taylor, brother to the Duke of Westmorland, is also troubled by vivid dreams. On a sleepless night, as a tempest rages outside his brother’s estate, he makes a discovery far more mysterious than any dream: a young woman, cold as ice, lies unconscious in the library, and he is sure she is the key to solving his problems. When she wakes, what begins as a shared quest for information turns into an unexpected friendship. As they piece together the fragments of their pasts, they discover a tangled web of lies, and their feelings for each other become just as entwined. But is their love as strong as their dreams . . . or their fate?

This was a truly delightful story that is a wonderful remake of Sleeping Beauty. It is also a true Regency romance as well as a mystery with some very unexpected twists in the ending.

Tansy and Marcus are both characters who captured my heart early on in the story. However, there are many other delightful and intriguing characters…mostly good but a few questionable that absolutely had depths and character to the story.

The narration of the audiobook was also very well done. I highly recommend this one.

Delightfully surprising

I really enjoyed this book! I’ve listened to it twice now. I like the aunts and Marcus and Tansy. Lots of plot twists! I do get confused about all of the sisters with flower names though. Their history gets muddled for me every time. lol! All in all, a great listen and I love the author!! Her books are so good!

Unique storyline

Probably one of my new favorites of the regency romance genre! I really loved the growing chemistry between the main characters and enjoyed the slow burn of the mystery portion of the storyline. Noah Wall is always a perfect narrator as well. Definitely buy!

Loved this one!

Probably one of the best and most unique storylines in the Regency genre. I loved it. Not set in the typical London season (thankfully), Ms. Walker weaves us through unexpected plot twists, clever intrigues, fairies, dreams, and intricate webs of buried family secrets…. And ties it all up so well in the end. Narrator Noah Wall has the perfect intonations of each character voice without trying too hard or making it sound corny. Very much enjoyed this one and left wanting more.
