MY REVIEW:

A fairy tale indeed, with some magic thrown in!

Abulon is a delightful read. I was quickly drawn into its mystery when the heroine, Branca, receives a note from a man she remembers only too well. But this isn’t just any man. The note is from “him,” the man who not only made love to her, but captured her heart.

But perhaps she’d been a fool. The thought was founded on experience. When she really needed him, when death had visited and intruded on their time together, he’d disappeared. Now, a year later, he wanted her to meet him again, at an isolated beach.

Was her mysterious lover really the person she thought he was? He had said some things that scared her. Then there was the dead body and the questions surrounding it! The mystery woven into the story and the nature of the affair between the lovers kept me turning pages.

The descriptions of the lovers, Branca and Pablo, and the locations of their trysts, had a magical quality that added to their passionate exchanges and appealed to my romantic heart! All in all, “Abulon” is a gem of a story that I can definitely recommend if you enjoy romance, mystery and a modern fairy tale.
