Product Description
From Library Journal
Sent by their fairy mother from the magical world of Rush into the human world in a desperate effort to save their lives, young twins Brigit and Bridin are separated by chance and raised apart. Now, years later, the time has come for them to return to Rush; but they must pass through the enchanted portal together, and time is limited. It is this story that underlies the romance that develops between flower shop owner Brigit, who senses she's different but doesn't quite know why, and scholar Adam Reid, who is destined to help her return to Rush. Art forgery, a touch of evil, and a lot of magic combine in a sensual story that, despite an obvious but charming ending, is truly a fairy tale. Shayne (Out of This World Marriage, Silhouette, 1995) lives in central New York.-KR

4.0 out of 5 stars
Fantasy Romance, Nov 11 2001
By Carol Peterson Hennekens - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fairytale (Paperback)
Brigit was left on the steps of the orphanage as a baby with a handmade book called "Fairytale" and a pendant. The nuns told her she was a twin but she could never find proof of a sister. At age nine she ends up living in the streets and eventually earns desparately needed cash but using her amazing ability (magical?) to forge great works of art. She escapes to the straight life when a visitor from the past threatens her into forging a painting owned by Adam. Turns out the painting was painted by the twin and is of a glen in the fairytale world. Adam had stubbled "across" as a child and knows the meaning of the picture. It was in the book and so Brigit knows what it means. The book revolves around the growing romanced between the two as they struggle with both evil humans and their own confusion about the meaning of the painting.
It's all pretty farfetched but the book is certainly a pleasant enough read. Not a keeper for me though - no tears or belly laughs.

enchanting, Oct 2 2011
By AG - Published on Amazon.com
My kindle rebooted while I was near finished typing my review on this. Such problems is why I have not wrote any lately but I had to encourage readers to get this for it is a steal be it free or the .99 cents it says is the norm. I purchased it when it came out years ago as a full sized paperback book for the full price of one and it is one of my «keepers», still in new condition and much loved. A beautiful cover too, so very enchanting in it'd pink background, elegant script, and if I remember right I think there was a gold web maybe. Remodeling has mine boxed in a closet atm.This is ine of those books I always wished was made into a series. If you even like this a little, you absolutly must read the second book. The world beyond the veil Ms. Shayne takes us to in that one would make an incredible series. I think this is the book that invited me into the worlds woven by Ms. Shayne's magical fingers and I am so glad that the cover caught my attention all those years ago. for her titles take up nearly an entire shelf of mine now.
«Fairytale» is the perfect title for this book. I give it 4 stars just because I haven't read it in years. The delighted memory of it rates at a 5 though, and got me to come peck away a review when I haven't been doing them, and even retype after the reset ate my almost finished first review. That speaks for itself as one fond memory. I loved rhese two books and hope you do too.
Write a third in it, please, please!!! :D

what a shame, Nov 2 2011
By gidgetgirl - Published on Amazon.com
This book had so much potential. I love the plot. It's just a shame that more time is spent describing the character's desire for each other than on developing that plot. I give the author credit, she thought of a lot of different words and phrases to describe these feelings. That took more imagination than I would have thought possible. I really wish she would have just used a couple sentences where a couple sentences were more than enough. Instead, these feeling of desire are described at great length at every few paragraphs. I got it already, there is a magnetic attraction between the two, so strong it defies the human definition of desire. Now can we spend some time on the story?
