Author Clarissa Kae has written a split time historical/contemporary romance. This riveting novel is steeped in legend and has some paranormal episodes. As a reviewer of Christian books, this one left me a wee bit confused.

This is the complex contemporary story of Sienna. Her family is a bit odd, and she has the closest relationship with her grandfather. It is also the story of Ioan, her grandfather’s neighbor. Sienna and Ioan met when she was very young. They forged a strong bond that she cannot remember.

Set in Wales and England, the descriptions are vivid and take readers right to the story. I could visualize things happening. The conversations sounded smooth and authentic. Characters were well rounded and realistic. The writer has a smooth style of writing. Her story was well thought and well written. There are some great twists and turns to keep readers guessing.

There are some timeless life lessons tucked inside this book. However, I searched without success for the spiritual or faith ones. That was the major disappointment I had with this book. It gets a 4 star rating from me.

I was supposed to go to Wales for my 40th birthday which is this month January 2021. But COVID happened. Instead, I delved into Wales for a setting and never looked back.
