Once upon a time… It is 1922, era of the flapper and the speakeasy. Meet 24 year old Elsie Jacobs, a beautiful and charismatic socialite. Elsie’s favorite pastime is charming men into professing their love for her, just to cast them aside and move on to the next. When Elsie cruelly rebuffs George, a potential suitor, she forges ahead without remorse. But her carefree days end tragically when she is cursed and placed in a mirror, frozen in time. Move forward to modern day… Devilishly handsome Colin Graham is a charmer known to enjoy the company of many women. He adores his selfish bachelor life and can’t ever imagine himself in a serious relationship. Colin acquires the mirror and Elsie enters his life. Things change for both as they develop an intense relationship through the looking glass.
Frozen In Time is an irresistible modern romantic fairy tale. The tentative friendship grows at a slow burn until it catches fire and romance develops. But since Elsie is imprisoned in an old family heirloom, the odds are against the couple. As the saying goes, a bird may love a fish… but where would they live? Colin, however, isn’t willing to give up on this charming woman. He slowly reevaluates his life and attachments and begins to grow as a man. Elsie regrets her heartless past and struggles to maintain hope that the curse can ever be broken. The story is as old as time but somehow Juliana Stevens makes it feel brand new. The novel is heart warming and tear jerking all at the same time. You’ll fall in love with Colin and Elsie, and you’ll love this book!
