BOOK: Moonlight and Orages

Moonlight and Oranges
By Elise Stephens



Summary

A timeless tale of young romance.

Lorona Connelly is ready for a change from her carefully planned, bookish life. When sparks fly at a costume party, she embraces a chance for romance with the handsome Kestrin Feather. However, she quickly realizes that even love and destiny may not be enough to overcome the reality of an overprotective mother-in-law and Kestrin's long, tarnished history of relationships.

When Lorona's curiosity leads her to Kestrin's journal, doubt plagues them both with insecurities and threatens the relationship. Can true love overcome the odds, or was their whirlwind romance just a frivolous crush? Author Elise Stephens shares a journey of young love, fate, and wounded trust in the story of Lorona and Kestrin, a couple who must learn to overcome their fears to share a life together.

It was good.

when i first saw it i didn't know it was a modern day retelling of Cupid and Psyche, it just spark the interest in me, but, i didn't read it right away i was still thinking if i should read it. but, one day i was scanning some reviews and learned that its a retelling of Cupid and Psyche, since i am a sucker for Greek myth i read it right away and it did not disappoint.

I like how the retelling goes. i love how the simple the story goes and its very easy to understand. if some people doesn't like modern retelling of old stories, well, i do. it just give me something to think about like if this really happened in the original story it will be better, it will keep you thinking the "what ifs?

the romance is really fast. i felt that its really destiny.

i love how they try to protect each other from each other, i love they love each other yet they're trying to spare each other.

i love Lorona's name and how it was explained, its somehow mysterious and intriguing.

i love how the story played out, how they realize that they are really for each other.

Read it. You'll love it.
