What if you were given a unique opportunity
to go back in time, to meet a person you have admired most of your life? A
person who has inspired you?
What if this person turns out to be your
soul mate, and you his muse? And knowing you only allowed to stay for a very
short while. Would you give in and enjoy the moment, or stay in a safe
distance, knowing you HAVE to go home, leaving your love behind in another time,
without the possibility to meet again?
This is what happens for Maya. She goes
back to 1903, back to when the painter André Bosco lived. Bosco is THE
inspiration for Maya and her art. She even went for a vacation away from her
home in the states to see if she could find where he used to live in Avignon.
Arriving and unsuccessfully trying to find his place, she feels lost and more
alone than usually.
By chance she steps into a small café where
Miss Ruby is. Miss Ruby is… someone special, and after drinking some Absinthe
(supposedly owned by André a long time ago), Maya feels strange, and after Miss
Ruby leaves, Maya steals the key to André’s studio – she just want to take a
peak. The second she opens the door to the studio, Maya is removed from her own
time and tossed straight into 1903.
I have to tell you, this was an amazing
read. The beforehand doomed relationship between André and Maya was intense to
read, devastating sometimes, because they both fell so swiftly and hard for
each other. The steamy scenes are well done, makes your toes curl, and the
intensity is wonderful. My heart was breaking for Maya and André, because how
would they ever get their Happily Ever After? Would a few days together suffice
for both of them? The closer I got to the end, the more devastated I was, and
the faster I read.
Fairy in the Flesh is a steamy, sweet and
wonderful quick read. When closing the book, I wanted to know more. (And no, I
won’t tell you about the ending!) Loved this short story, and definitely not the
last book I want to read by Katalina!
About the Author:
I’m an
artist, an author, mother and wife. I write for Ellora’s Cave, Loose Id Publishing
and a couple new publishers to be announced soon. I try to bring a touch of the
mystical and a big sense of adventure to everything I write because I believe
there’s a bold, kick-ass heroine inside all of us who wants to take a wild ride
with a strong worthy hero.
Where to find Katalina:
It sounds like a great read!
