In The Fairytale
In The Moments book 3
Releasing December 2014
Synopsis:
In Every fairytale there's anger, hurt, and love. For
Raleigh Jefferson her fairytale is no different.
Since she was a little girl, watching Snow White meet her prince as she frolicked through the forest, the idea of Happily Ever After was embedded in Raleigh's mind. Her heart skipped a beat over the Beast's love of Belle, and she knew she'd swim the ocean to save her black haired prince from drowning, even without a mermaid tail. Destiny and forever. She wouldn't settle for anything less.
She wasn't looking for a man to frolic in the forest for her. If she were to actually witness such a thing she'd probably smack the man for acting a fool. But she did want her own Cinderella story. She wanted to glide down the aisle in her own glass slippers toward the man she loved, the one who returned that love unconditionally.
She never knew how hard this dream of hers would be until she met Him. Will the truth of the world around her and the pain that can be carried in someone's heart be too much to handle, or can Raleigh find a way to truly live... In The Fairytale?

About the Author:
Joan Duszynski lives in Virginia with her husband and their three kids. Woods surround her home and she loves the privacy and quiet it brings. She wasn’t always a reader, so that moment when she picked up a book and found herself engrossed in its pages and unable to put it down will never be forgotten. It eventually led her to want to try and write and share stories of her own, in hopes that others will find themselves reading and getting lost inside of them. Thanks can’t be expressed enough for your time and interest. Please feel free to connect with her either through Email, Twitter, or Facebook.
I first fell in love with the cover of In The Stars. I think it is breathtaking. ;-) Then I read the blurb and I just knew that I needed to read it.
I was mesmerized with this treasure. There is a love triangle but no cheating which is a huge plus in my opinion. I really dislike cheating.
The heroine was Caroline. She was feisty and real. I really, really liked her except her indecisiveness irritated me a little. I understood to an extent because I liked both men but then again I just wanted her to choose.
At first, I thought that Eric was an ass, sexy, but an ass none the less. He redeemed himself as the book went on though. ;-) He exuded a bad boy vibe that seemed to excite her. He was also intense, sexy, and a total Alpha. I couldn't help but drool a few times.
The other man was Kyle and he was absolutely perfect. :-( He was sweet, extremely attentive and super sexy. Oooh and he was a musician too. I really liked him.
I won't tell you who wins her heart because that is not how I roll. You'll have to read it yourself and go through the same sensations that I did.
Her friends Raleigh and Tara also help to make the book as well. You know how much I love great characters. :D I especially loved the camaraderie and banter between them.
I laughed, swooned, melted into a panting puddle of goo a time or two, enjoyed the friendship that they shared, had a little frustration while waiting to see who she picked, some indecision myself at who I wanted her to pick, and just couldn't put it down.
I don't need to look to the stars to know that this book is a winner. If you like romance, steam, and don't mind some indecision as the heroine chooses between two great guys, you want to put this at the very top of your list.
I received an ecopy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. It was sensational.
My only regret is not asking for the second book to review as well!

You did all the work. I can only offer my opinion of the book. If you hadn't done such a wonderful job with your words, I wouldn't have liked it so much. :-)
DeleteI'd love to read book 2 and I will but I am really swamped with reviews next month. That is why I only signed up to review book one. :-( I'm not sure how quickly I'll be able to get to the next one even though I really want to.
thank you a lot for coming to see us and if you don't have a time limit yes please trust Brenda with book 2 yes she is busy at the moment but she is true to her word so even if it takes time she will give us her opinion and more than probably get us addicted quickly to your books
DeleteThank you Brenda. You can send me an email if you'd like to Joanduszynskiauthor@gmail.com about receiving book 2 on your Kindle for when time becomes available.
