Emma Lost may be the original sleeping beauty, but her life
is far from the fairy tale everyone loves. After one
thousand years in a magically induced coma, Emma is taking
no chances with her kisses. Not only has she rejected her
Prince Charming, but she has also sworn off men. She has
spent the past ten years finding her niche in this strange
world, and her hard work has garnered a bestselling book
and a job as a history professor specializing in the Middle
Ages. Unfortunately, Emma's attempt at normalcy is about to
end. First off, her new boss has her reassessing her no men
policy. Secondly, she has come into her magic. Now she has
to learn how to control her magic, and the first thing she
has to do is travel to her teacher. What could possibly go
wrong? Is there anyone to help her on the trip?
Michael Found has been on sabbatical, but he has returned
to fill his position as chair of the history department.
His first item of business is to see what is so enticing
about the new professor, Ms. Lost. He has read her book,
and she seems to be quite the fraud. Though he finds her to
be stunning, her lectures are pure nonsense and he will not
tolerate such idiocy. She has to go or she will make the
department a laughingstock. Michael never expected the
firing to leave him so unsettled especially when a few
strange occurrences have him questioning what happened.
When Emma asks him to travel with her, he refuses, but a
little guidance has him changing his mind. Now he is on an
unscheduled trip with a highly attractive woman. On the
plus side, he is able to witness magic first hand, but the
down side is that he has to keep his hands to himself. Will
he be able to help her gain some control? Will he be able
to control his own impulses where she is concerned?
Kristine Grayson spins a fantastical fairy tale adding her
own twists to a well known story. She creates adorable
characters, and their plight is easily entertaining. Emma
is a remarkable woman who has forged a path in a time not
her own only to have reality strike her down again. Michael
is a scholar who cannot believe the drivel that passes for
history these days only to realize that appearances can be
deceiving. Their journey to happily ever after is fraught
with magical humor, impending danger, and cautious romance.
Ms. Grayson creates a story that surprises at every turn. I
was quickly ensnared by the unique perspective, wondered at
the daring heroine and her reluctant hero, and completely
sated with their unusual adventure. THOROUGHLY KISSED
dishes out all the juicy details giving us the unvarnished
story behind the more popular cover story. I am completed
enchanted with Ms. Grayson's reimagined tales, and cannot
wait to see what she comes up with next.
Kristine Grayson's bestselling fairy tale romances bring the
classic stories into the present day, where fairy tale
characters must grapple with the complexities of modern life
as well as their own destinies. Emma (Sleeping Beauty) fell
into a magical coma that lasted for a thousand years when a
boy she didn't even liked kissed her. Now that Emma's awake,
she's determined to be a normal girl...a normal girl who is
deathly afraid of kissing. When she meets history professor
Michael Found, Emma has to choose between her fear of
kissing and her potential Prince Charming.
