Shae Larkins thought by sending more power into the pocket watch she’d built to travel through time it would send her years into the future. Instead it sent her galaxies away where she wakes up on an unknown planet called Thenia where unicorns, fairies, pixies, elves and witches are part of everyday life. So are the crystals on the planet that begin giving her magical powers. If all that isn’t enough for her to contend with she also has to deal with Torrin Carrick a 459 year old Thenian who believes she is his ex-girlfriend Daria whom he’s grown to detest. Can Shae figure out how to get back to earth? In the meantime can she deal with a man who hates her and what happens when the real Daria returns?
S.R. Thornton currently lives in the Baltimore area with her three sons where she works a 9–5 job in the inner harbor of Baltimore.
It was a few years after moving to Baltimore that her eldest son and she were comparing unique dreams they’d had. As he had before, her son insisted she write her dream down and make a book. After insisting that, although great at writing poems and short stories in school, there was no way she could write an entire novel, she finally tried it and completed her first nearly 600-page novel in three weeks. She found the experience so relaxing and enjoyable that she kept going. In the last six years S.R. Thornton has finished over 30 novels in various genres, including vampire, werewolf, witches, contemporary and historical romance that she’s now ready to share with others.
This is a truly wonderful story and an excellent intro to a new author. The characters are defined well and the plot flows evenly. The romance fits the story and, as another reviewer noted, the fantasy is not overdone at all. The result is a really well balanced story that is a fun read without being lightweight. I enjoyed it, and I'll be able to go back and read it again and again.
REALLY great job. Looking forward to reading more.
I like reading new author works, but admittedly they aren't always the best reads. This one I loved. It was fun and creative and kept me interested until the end. I liked the sweetness of the romance and how the planet is uniquely fantasy, but not too overdone where the reader can't follow the details.
