This novella length story has all the elements of a good fairy tale. The reader has to suspend reason to a degree and not worry about what “normal” people would do. Enjoy the story for the delicious escape that it is.
MR BABY MAKER takes us to the family of a fictional kingdom in the Atlantic where Brody is the Crown Price that must wed before he can inherit his riches and ascend to the throne. He meets Violet unexpectedly on a trip to America and their meeting is passionate.
The novella introduces us to circumstances and people for future stories. It does seem that an overarching theme for all of the stories will be finding out what happened to Grandmother Eleanor.
The editing needs some improvement because there is not always good flow between events in the book. For example, on the day Violet arrives by plane in Sierran, she meets Brody’s family at a meal. A little later that day someone mentions there is a ball that night and Violet has to pick out a dress and start getting ready three hours before the ball. The ball come out of nowhere, but seems to be an important launching point for several of the other stories.
