Sunrise Over Brasov Spotlight~Excerpt~Review


SUNRISE OVER BRASOV
by Stephanie Burkhart

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Rosa Getzi lives a life of intrigue at Poiana Brasov with Clement, a werewolf, and Cassandra, the witch. Her past doesn't matter to her – until she discovers what it holds.

Prince Michael Sigmaringen joins his sister-in-law, Caroline, and the vampire prince, Darius, in a daring rescue, igniting Rosa's desire to find her family. However, all is not as it appears. Rickard, Rosa's friend, escapes with her. Clement will go to any lengths to get Rosa and Rickard back.

At Darius' fortress, Michael soon discovers Rickard is a new breed of werewolf – one who can control the change, and Clement hopes to exploit Rickard's abilities.

Michael's courage, strengths, and convictions will be tested like never before. Can Michael and Rosa find true happiness and the rid the lupine haunting of the Sigmaringens once and for all?
The door flung open and a man stepped into her room. Who was he? The vaguely familiar scent of sandalwood and pine filled her senses. Her heartbeat spiked, but she held her ground and set her chin, determined not to show him an ounce of fear.

There was no denying his masculinity. He was tall and his massive shoulders filled out the cloak he wore. Shadows enveloped most of his features, but she could make out his penetrating amber-hazel eyes through the darkness. A soft gasp escaped her.

He raised his hand and lowered his hood. An inherent strength filled his profile. Confidence. Concern. Relief.

Rosa's breath jammed in her throat. He looked familiar. He smelled familiar.

"Rosa, it's Michael. Let's go."

"I'm not going anywhere with you."

A frown set against his rugged features. "I don't have time to argue -- now put on a warm
dress and cloak."

"No." She was not going anywhere with him despite the relief in his voice.

He sighed and shut the door. Moving with fluid grace, he crossed the room, jerked the
door to her closet open and threw the items he wanted her to wear on her bed. "Get. Dressed."
"No." She was determined not to budge, despite the danger outside.

"Rosa, we're leaving."

"I'm staying."

"Why would you want to stay? Clement kidnapped you."

Disconcerted, she pointedly glanced away from his hard stare. What did he mean by kidnapped? Clement didn't keep her behind bars and feed her only bread and water. Rosa could even go into Brasov to shop as long as Lucien or one of the bodyguards went with her.


"I'm going to take you back to your mother."

Favorite Lines “The next time you see her, be open and honest. Oh, I know it's a scary place to visit, but love has a way of chasing those gloomy shadows away around her heart." "Like a sunrise?" he asked. She chuckled. "Yes, like a sunrise. Leaving the words unspoken only causes shadows to rise up -- shadows and doubt. That was your father's flaw.”

“You stay true to your soul. Do not compromise your values -- I have learned if you do, you only hurt yourself.”

“I'm not going to dwell on it -- I can't. I don't want to live my life struggling to remember my past. I'm going to live for my future, especially now that I've met my family.”

“I want to embrace what's happening between us and I don't want to let go.”

Whew! I was so surprised by how much I enjoyed this book! It a had an old world paranormal feel!
Rosa likes her life right? She lives in a fortress with Clement, Cassandra, and Richard. So til one night she awakens to craziness! Gunshots, fighting, and then a strange but so familiar man walks in her room demanding she gets dressed. After the shock of learning her life was what she thought it was. That she had a family, a love, a past. She must get to the WHY?!??!
Michael can't believe he found Rosa! The excitements quickly GOW to disappointment when she doesn't want to go with him and won't come next to him.
I love the old worldness of this book, the same but different paranormal characters, and the love!
I haven't read the first 2 in series but I honestly wasn't lost at all.
I would recommend this book to anyone who like para and books about past times!

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review (Goddess Fish)
