Enchanting Tales #3
Slumber
A re-imagining of the classic fairy-tale Sleeping Beauty.
Princess Clementine lived a blessed life - until the day she fell into a deadly slumber.
Though her mother had died while she was still a baby, the only child of the King of Rosenly was cosseted and adored by all who knew her.
And yet she remained remarkably unspoilt.
So it came as something of a shock to Clementine to find she has been mercilessly plunged into a deadly slumber.
In vain the King tries everything from hedge witch potions to Princes' kisses to save his precious daughter. But it seems that - like her mother before her - the Princess is doomed to fade away into the ether.
Then Gilbert Thackeray hears her calls.
A man of science and good sense, Gilbert has little time for feather-brained Princesses or ghostly apparitions yet, despite his best intentions, it soon becomes evident that he has no choice but to find a way to reunite the Princess with her body before it is too late.
Enchanting Tales is a series of fairy tale re-tellings with a Regency setting. The stories are all set in the same world but each book can be read as a stand-alone. So, if you enjoy your fairy tales with a twist on the originals, a dash of humour thrown in but without any naughty bits then download Enchanting Tales today and lose yourself in a world of sweet romance.

Magic
Sweet romance with a bit of magic and suspense mixed in set in alternative Regency style world. I loved watching the princess grow as the story went on and how her realionship with the hero delevoped. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a fair tale retelling.

Great twist on Sleeping Beauty
This is a really good book. I thought it was a neat twist on a classic fairytale that most people know. So keep on writing these great tales Mrs. Harper.
