This was the first story of this author's that I was lucky enough to have read. It is a novelette, shorter than full-length book or novella. It was a quick but sweet read. I had it read in a short time and enjoyed the read very much. I hope to have other opportunities to read this author's works.
The story was based on a real experience by author Amber Stokes. I suspect it was one that would leave quite an impression and be a hard-to-forget one, at that! Fun story to read, and it leaves you with that feel-good feeling!
I recommend this as an enjoyable, clean read.
About the Book
Sweet New Adult
Contemporary Romance Novelette
There’s no
rest for the fearful.
Ava always knew the bees
would come. Just when she’s settled into a place of her own, freelance editing
and savoring her independence, her rental house is invaded by a swarm of honey
bees. And with their arrival, her lifelong fear morphs into a full-fledged
panic that steals her sleep—and her peace of mind.
Keegan knows all about fear. When he meets Ava at the coffee shop where he
works, he can’t help but come to her rescue. Together with his German
shepherds, Sun and Moon, he sets out to break the “curse” that hovers over
Tired Girl. But is it possible to conquer nightmares and live a dream while
you're awake?
This sweet novelette is a contemporary re-imagining of the Sleeping
Beauty fairy tale that sheds light on the worries that bind us and the
love that leads to peace.
