Talia fell under a spell...Jack broke the curse. I was told to beware the accursed spindle, but it was so enchanting, so hypnotic... I was looking for a little adventure the day I ditched my tour group. But finding a comatose town, with a hot-looking chick asleep in it, was so not what I had in mind.

Now I am in dire trouble because my father, the king, says I have brought ruin upon our country. I have no choice but to run away with this commoner! Now I'm stuck with a bratty princess and a trunk full of her jewels...The good news: My parents will freak! Think you have dating issues? Try locking lips with a snoozing stunner who turns out to be 316 years old. Can a kiss transcend all—even time?Point Containing Books A Kiss in Time

This book was a fun, easy read. I really enjoyed the characters and the fast pace of the book. This modern retelling of the classic fairytale Sleeping Beauty was very well written and entertaining. I loved the book!To let you know something more about the plot we basically follow the story of Sleeping Beauty when she wakes up. Talia happened to be the Sleeping Beauty 300 years ago, and at the start of the book we see a little of how she found the spindle. Then, we are coming in our time and see how Jack found her and kissed her. That's only the first part of the book. The story continues with Talia following Jack cause she thinks he is her destiny and try to make him fall in love with her while Jack feels
To see full review click here.Sleeping Beauty.No, I'm not talking about the Disney movie. Though I have to say that movie is kick ass if for anything the artwork. Yeah, Aurora is a bit of a Mary Sue (okay, a lot), but the villain and the faeries make up for it. Not to mention, Prince Phillip is the first Disney prince that is sort of not a man-cessory. But we're not talking about the Disney movie.Unfortunately.Instead, we're talking about Alex Flinn's Sleeping Beauty retelling, A Kiss in Time.I
Having read "Beastly" by Alex Flinn, I had an idea that I would be in for a light weight retelling of Sleeping Beauty. I had to keep on reminding myself that I was not the intended YA audience, that I was reading it for a class and needed to have an open mind, but the audio edition didn't make it any easier for me in that the two voice actors had incredibly annoying voices. Talia is the princess in question who is alive in the 1700's in a small European kingdom. Blah, blah, blah, she pricks her
First of all Dari and I have never read this book but we are currently listening to it for the 11 th time since we got it in 2013 . The audio book is superb and is read by a 16 yr old boy and girl who are utterly fantastic . it continues to be our favorite audio book of all time and never fails to entrap our attention and wrap up our emotions. To us this is the best retelling of Sleeping Beauty because it takes a character from a 1700's kingdom that we can only imagine and puts her in a 2000's
Last read: April 2012Re-read: June 17, 2015First of all, Wowza! this book was just everything I wanted it to be. It takes place first of in the 1700 century with Talia and tells of the tale similar to sleeping beauty on how she pricks her finger and sleeps. The story then jumps three hundred so years and that's where Jack (awesome but slacker) comes into the story. He decided to skip his Europe tour and ends up coming across a magical place where everyone seems to be asleep and not helping
