Book: Gladly Beyond
Author: Nichole Van
An ancient curse, fractured at the birth of three brothers.
Two strangers helplessly drawn to each other.
A love story two hundred years in the making.
Claire Raythorn arrives in Florence, Italy, shattered,
alone, and anxious to rebuild her life--preferably one without men. But she
soon finds herself hunted and haunted-- literally--when a mysterious stalker
dressed like Mr. Darcy from BBC central casting appears in her photos. And only
her photos. Who is this man? And what does his ghostly presence mean?
Dante D'Angelo simply wants to safeguard his brothers, despite
the family curse that hounds his vision. But then Claire Raythorn walks into
his life, untouched somehow by his curse. Soon, everything Dante thought he
knew about himself starts to unravel, dragging Claire down with him.
Set against the lush backdrop of Florence, Italy--both past
and present--Claire and Dante fight against an unknown evil for a future
together. But, first, they must solve the mystery of their shared past . . .

Review
I am not usually a fan of 1st person writing, but I got into
this book quickly and really enjoyed the way it was written. I don’t want to
spoil anything, so I will just tell you I really enjoyed this book. I enjoy
time travel books, so this book intrigued me. You really need to pay attention
to the book in order to understand what is going on. I loved the mystery weaved
into the romance.
Claire and Dante make an enjoyable team. They work together
really well. Nichole did a great job of drawing the reader in. I haven't read
any of Ms. Van’s books, but I will certainly be doing so in the future. I would
love to see some books telling the story of Dante’s brothers. I loved how this
book showed the closeness of family and how they all loved each other very much.
This is a wonderfully done book that lets the reader imagine all sorts of
things. I really loved the surprise ending and who was the culprit all along.
This was a clean, enjoyable romance that kept me glued to my
kindle in order to find out how their love story was going to end.
I received a copy of this book in exchange or my honest
