Sonia
Covaci has been experiencing erotic dreams with her mystery dream
lover for quite some time, who her old world gypsy grandmother Adela
has been telling her is her destined soul mate. When Sonia meets
Korinna the shop owner of Bedazzled Jewels, she is quickly swept up
in a fantasy world beyond her wildest dreams. Will Sonia ever see the
truth in the stories betold her before it's too late for her soul
mate?
This
story is told through the point of view of three very different
people, but which fate ingeniously brought together for the most
heart stopping romance today. The story begins with Korinna, a
beautiful witch with an evil step-mother, (can totally relate) that
places a curse upon her out of jealousy as well as a dash of spite.
This is the backdrop of the story for Andrei Vladimir and the
horrible fate he is facing. So the story goes that for Andrei's
people, (vampires) they dream of their fated mates, and the closer
their mate is to them, the clearer the dream of them is and that is
when they go out to sweep her off her feet, but when Andrei falls
prey to a manipulating witch he is cursed for forsaking the witch,
and never allowed to return to his own realm with his people. Here is
where Sonia comes in, a gypsy, and her family is from Romania which
is where Andrei lives. She has been having some really steamy dreams
of a man she has never met before. She's reluctant to believe the
stories her grandmother has been telling her about since she was a
child. Can something that sounds like a Disney flick be true? The
story is just that, very Disney like quality to the fairytale of two
fated lovers. The mystery behind the magic is alluring, and what
pulls you into their lives. Although we don't have much time to go
into detail with this novella, it is the way the story is told that
holds you in place.
The
characters of the story were easily empathized with by the personal
connection I felt to both Sonia and her best friend Emma. Andrei
stole my heart with his fierce compassion for human life, and
especially the wrongful treatment of women. He is a man of stature,
who has morals, love, and sympathy for all, and never once wanted for
himself, but only wanted the best for his people. Who ever thought
that a cursed witch, a cursed vampire, and a love sick gypsy would be
so loyally devoted to one another only after a short period of time,
but it worked. The story was believable, the characters were genuine.
If I ever marry a billionaire, or uncover a family secret revealing I
am a gypsy, I will not hesitate for one second that I am destined for
a happily ever after... You rock Valerie Twombly!
