Not only are the four tales extraordinary (linked together with the common thread of magic), each contains an element of enchantment. In Nora Roberts's "Ever After," the gift of an ancient pendant belonging to a fairy changes two lives forever. Jill Gregory's "Catch a Falling Star" finds a princess forced into a political marriage with a wife-murdering barbarian, while Ruth Ryan Langan's "The Curse of Castle Clough" offers a ghost who helps save a castle from the auction block and its owner from a life without love. Finally, a burned-out American tourist travels back in time to be rescued by--and to rescue--a handsome sailing captain in "Starry, Starry Night" by Marianne Willman. Sit back, put your feet up, and travel to distant times and places with four of romantic fiction's best authors. --Alison Trinkle Product Description: From the same authors who brought you Once upon a Castle comes Once upon a Star, a welcome addition to romance anthologies.

 Rating:  - Jill Gregory's Story was the best...*** NORA ROBERTS-EVER AFTER- I assumed her story would top the others but I found it rather bland. I must give this author her due, however; she has an uncanny ability to give depthful insight into the careers of her heroines, whether it's a chef, an artist, a dancer, or in this case, a homemaker, Allena's true calling. Conal was okay, but this guy was supposed to be a famous painter yet very little was said about it; one line only, I think. Allena was a wonderful girl with a sparkling personality, ...

I liked the idea of four shorter stories because then I was able to get in my reading "fix" during my limited free time. Rating: - Wonderful collection of storiesI had already read the Nora Roberts Spellbound in another book, but the additional stories were absolutely wonderful. I am glad I bought the book. Now I want all of the Once Upon books! Rating: - A Truly Wonderful Anthology!"Once Upon a Star" is a delightful anthology filled with four fantastic tales of magic and true love. Every story is well-written and utterly enthralling, making it nearly impossible for me to pick a favourite. Each of these four talented authors shines in the original and intriguing stories they have created. "Ever After" by Nora Roberts tells the story of Allena Kennedy, who just can't find her place in the world. While in Ireland helping her stepsister Margaret run her tour company, Allena ...

Excellent as usual. Catch A Falling Star by Jill Gregory An historical. Not my genre, but this story is very good. I liked the female lead. The Curse of Castle Clough by Ruth Ryan Langan My favorite and an introduction to Ms. Langan. Since reading this book, I have read other novels by her. I wasn't disappointed. Read More |
