About the Author:
Petronela Ungureanu is a fantasy writer and a journalist living in a picturesque part of poetic Romania. She takes great pleasure in simple things like walking barefoot in the grass, or reading Jane Austen in front of a good fire, surrounded by her numerous purring cats. When the time feels right, she mysteriously withdraws in her favorite corner where she concocts fantastical stories about elves, fairies, gnomes and other wondrous creatures.

Tracy’s Review:
ARCreceived in exchange for an honest review.
Whilst this is not my usual type of book, I must admit, I really liked it. At times, it shocked me, and I wanted to belt her father over the head with something. This book, although short, keeps you wanting more. My only wish is that it was longer. Great book! 4 well deserved stars lover of romance and historians this one is right up your street
Jodi’s Review:
I thought this story was short and sweet. A cute love story between Portia and Philip. The only thing I didn’t like was I felt it ended too abruptly and thought the story should have went on at least a little more. 3 Stars!
