Wait Until Moonrise

De: Teri Thackston

Narrado por: Traci Odom

Doors that close by themselves. Items that move without human help. Visions of a handsome spirit in the moonlight. Visiting the Welsh castle that is her ancestral home, Bria Leighton is frightened by eerie happenings.

Unseen. Unheard. Untouched. Desperately lonely. For more than two hundred years, a curse has trapped Nicholas Pierce, the last Earl of Beaumarith, in his family castle. The words of the wicked sorceress hint that the curse can be broken, but the riddle of moonrise and true love's embrace seems impossible to solve.

Impossible until Bria walks into his castle and into his heart. She sees him, hears him…touches him. He must convince her that she is not losing her mind but that he is real…and only she can break the spell.

But Bria is only a visitor, coming to grips with a past she has forgotten, secrets revealed, and an alcoholic fiancé whose behavior grows ever more erratic. To complicate matters further, the wicked sorceress Saffira has returned to claim Nicholas for herself. While seeking her past, will Bria become the true love of a centuries-old earl…or will she find herself eternally cursed as well?

Sweet romance with a twist

I really liked the almost vintage feel of this book. I read a lot of dark explicit books and have become a little jaded over time. It's a nice palette cleanser to read a sweet clean book and take things at a slower pace. There is only on-page kissing, anything more is implied but happens behind a closed door.

The narration was top-notch! Changing from one dialect to another to another with a variety of voices within those dialects was amazing. I was in awe during the entire book.

Good story

I thought the story was interesting. I enjoyed the storyline and characters. I have the Audiobook and the ebook and found it interesting that the Audiobook skipped intimate scenes (& the scenes weren't as descriptive as some books). The narrator did a nice job with the various characters too. Overall, this is an enjoyable book.
