"Enchanting and delightful!"
I started this book one afternoon and by the time I came up
for air, I'd finished this most interesting and enchanting
book. Liz Riley has been visiting her daughter who had just given
birth. Liz had been there three weeks and felt that it was
time to go home. She was driving cross-country but when she
got to Colorado she decided to spend a few days sight-
seeing. She checked into a charming historic bed and
breakfast called StoneHaven and then she started exploring.
She found a quaint antique store where she bought a
beautiful cameo brooch. Then on the way back she got lost
on a mountain road in a storm and her car skidded into a
ditch. Liz bumped her head but wasn't hurt badly enough that she
couldn't get out and try to find shelter. That's when she
came across a quaint cottage and met the most amazing and
handsome man. At first Robert was cold and didn't want Liz
to come in but finally he allowed her to come inside until
morning. There was something magical about this cottage and about
Robert though. Then when Liz looked into the mirror it
seemed as if she had gotten younger. How could this be? The
longer Liz and Robert were in each other's company, the
more attracted they became to each other but does Robert
have secrets? What is it about this cottage? I thoroughly enjoyed this amazing and delightful book. It
is a must read. Liz and Robert are two lonely people who
when they meet experience magic and love. It just takes a
little bit for them to finally realize it. I guarantee
once you start to read it, you will not want to put it down.

SummaryWhen her car breaks down on a deserted mountain road, Liz
Riley discovers an enchanted cottage where time stands
still. She wakes up to find her youth restored, and her
passions ignited by the owner of the cottage--a man she
thinks is young enough to be her son. Only when she comes
to terms with the fact that age doesn't matter is the true
magic of the enchanted cottage revealed.
ENCHANTED COTTAGE is a story for women who may feel their
youth slipping away, but not their zest for life, their
taste for adventure, or their ability to recognize and
appreciate the power of love--at whatever stage it enters
their life.
