Vanessa lives with her eccentric Uncle Felix, haunted by dreams of a dark mysterious stranger and hidden desires keeping her warm beneath the sheets. Shortly after turning 21, her fantasies start making sense when her Uncle agrees to show her his secret lab in the basement, home to an ancient portal to a parallel world.
"Felix lit a fire in the study. The kindling caught and burned in a blaze of brightness. He added a few small logs which burned bright, casting leaping red-gold flames and dancing shadows in the twilight room."
The truth about Vanessa's past is revealed and her long-lost memories are restored by the fire. All of this time, Uncle Felix has actually been harboring a princess like the daughter he never had, keeping her safe from a world that's perilous for women. A place she's about to go back to:
"Then, taking a deep breath, she stepped into the portal.
She was immersed inside a circle of vibrant blue light."
On the other side of the portal, Vanessa's father and Magnus, the King's commander of the guards have been waiting for Vanessa's return to the kingdom for many years.
"King Florian looked at Magnus. The man was not high-born yet he had grace and bearing
and was a leader among men. People looked up to him. Men followed him without question. He could have any number of eligible princes for a son-in-law, but none could hold a candle to his loyal commander of the guard. Besides, his daughter loved him, of that he was certain."
The action starts fast, right from the very beginning. Once Vanessa steps back into the world she was born in, the land of Amara is slowly revealed. And pretty soon all of her dreams come true when she's reunited with her hunky protector Magnus. In between hot interludes and much deserved moments of discipline, together they trek through a paradise similar to medieval times, lacking in the modern ways of Earth. The vivid imagery of waterfalls, mountains and architecture is absolutely breathtaking, with detailed descriptions throughout:
"The inside walls were decorated with opulent tiles patterned with verdant leaves, twisting vines and flower blooms of every colour under the sun. Lush rugs woven in shades of purple and red lined the floors, and small bejewelled fountains spurted crystal water from recesses in the walls."
When headstrong Vanessa disobeys Magnus yet again, things get a little dark and dangerous. But this beautiful fantasy romance wraps up with a happy, whimsical ending full of unforgettable creatures and deeply developed characters.
I read to imagine the impossible, and to open my mind to new things. Also to delve into worlds I never knew existed. This sexy sci-fi satisfied my curiosity regarding quantum physics and the possibility of wormholes and other dimensions in a believable and easy to follow manner. It's a tasteful, timeless romance I recommend to anyone who loves a story that takes you on a great adventure with a twist of domestic discipline and a touch of naughty spanking!
