review 1: I liked this book but I could only give it two stars due to the fact that it is in serious need of editing. It's a good story but the writing is at about a grade 9 level. I was almost turned off from the book right from the first page because of this but I wanted to give it an honest try. Thank goodness it was a short story, I would have been hard pressed to finish it if it had been a full length novel.
review 2: In this forty-eight page short story, Kara Lockley has given us a complete fantasy in which Lily owns her own highly successful interior decorating business, but her personal life is barren. Her adoptive parents are dead and she’s all alone in the world. She’d like to fall in love and have a family, but can’t seem to meet the right man.Lily moves... more into her new house at the edge of a wild forest, and begins to dream at night of another world called Alinora where everything is perfect. It’s in this perfect world that she meets Caleb. Night after night, as she sleeps, their relationship grows stronger and they fall in love. She begins to yearn for this other world preferring it to the real world to the point that she questions her sanity and decides to consult a therapist. In Alinora, Lily and Caleb have a house and live together. During one visit Caleb remarks that her stomach is getting round and she happily tells him she’s pregnant. When she wakes from the dream, she wonders how real her pregnancy is. Turns out, it’s very real—she’s pregnant in the real world, too. Somehow, she must learn how her real world ties in with Alinora and find Caleb—if he actually exists. She must also figure out what to tell her friends and employees.In these few pages, we’ve been given a complete fantasy novel in short form. The characters, the world building, and the way everything wove together seamlessly made this a magical read indeed. Alinora is a delicious bit of dessert after a steady diet of meat and potatoes. I feel almost guilty for enjoying it so much.Mona Leigh less
