How did I come up with Devlin Destiny as a title? Well, this one was pretty simple actually. (Titles are a pain in my rear most of the time). But this novella is a story within a story, meaning Devlin, the hero, is also the hero of the heroine’s favorite romance novel, Devlin’s Destiny. Confused yet?
Devlin’s Destiny is a story about a woman who is transported into her favorite romance novel and takes the place of the story’s heroine. So it only felt natural for me to name MY novella off the fictional book in the story.
BTW--got my first review from Sizzling Hot Books Reviews. I’m verra (as Devlin would say) pleased. Here are a couple of snippets:
Are parallel worlds/universes possible? If so, who’s to say if ours it the true one? Or is the fiction world true as well? When Gabby gets pulled into her favorite book, Devlin’s Destiny , she doesn’t know what to think. Except that she isn’t going to be the quiet, weak heroine that was originally written!
Devlin’s Destiny is a cool concept! Who among us doesn’t what to change something or someone in books we read from time to time?
Devlin’s Destiny may be short, but is very good and well done. I loved that Gabby’s mental image of Devlin and how he really looked were not the same. None of us ‘see’ things the same in our heads or describe the same picture the same way, and I thought this was a great technique for Gabby to realize that she was not dreaming.
Devlin’s Destiny is a fast read of a clever idea. Most of us have wanted to change part of a book/story at one time or another. But the idea may not be as easy as it first sounds. Being trapped in a story where the other characters have to act out their set roles until you change the script would challenge anyone. Esmerelda Bishop not only made this idea work, she even got me involved/concerned in Gabby’s struggle. And Devlin’s Destiny ends up being well worth our time as well as entertaining.

OMG I want this book. NOW, Please?? hee-hee.
I love the story concept. Most romance books are fantasy but this is pure unadulterated fairytale fantasy at it's core.
I can't tell you how many times I wished I could jump into Diana Gabaldon's Outlander, just so I could meet Jamie.
I would not have the hesitation Claire had to take a peek under Jamie's kilt. LOL
Sigh...
I love the ideal for this story. There is so many of my books that I would love to be able to get into. Thanks for a chance to win the book.
