To say that I enjoyed this book would be a gross understatement. I was absolutely amazed with it! The story used to be one of my favorite fairytales as a kid and I'm glad that this version stayed so close to it and also managed to expand so well outside the original tale. Sorcha is an amazing heroine and the hero... well he's awesome. Knowing the fairytale I knew how this would end, and yet I was actually anxious while reading the last pages wondering if she'd make the shirts on time:)
I will admit that even in my fantasies I look for romance, and in this I was not disasappointed. In the end I was crying out for both of them; they totally deserved their happily ever after and were so perfect for each other. It was a very emotional and touching story that left me stunned for a while and totally immersed in the Celtic, myth ridden world. A fantastic read, that I highly recommend to anyone.

"I decided to change genre because the last book I read was too intense and I wanted to savor it a bit longer in my mind. Liking this so far."

Yes, it is true I'm afraid. Are you sure you want to skip it though? It's such a lovely book, you can't imagine how great it is!
Well that coming from you means alot. I'll give it a shot :)
Please do! You won't regret it, I can vouch for that:) The hero is to die for and the whole story, so close to the original fairytale and yet with so much added depth, is amazing. Plus, the woman can seriously write!
I also have the second book, also very very good, this one probably without any weird stuff you can't stand. I could give you that as well, but it still would be a shame to miss the backstory of the first book.
Will do Fani, thank you so much. All your recommendations so far have been amazing, you've introduced me to so many good stuff.I'm off to the beach, I hope to catch you later. Missed you this past week :)
Been on vacation, but I'll be back in Athens as of today evening. Perhaps I'll see you there:)
(view spoiler)[From the reviews here and there, I kind of understand that she gets raped at some point? Is it true? If yes, I won't be able to read it. (hide spoiler)]
