This is cute and sweet!
I think my biggest thing is that everything happened so fast and it wasn’t long enough to really enjoy the characters like we should get to

Fun fairytale like reality book! I loved it. Of course, I have not read much by this author that I have not loved!

Such a sweet fairytale romance!
Ah, I love Pepper Basham's stories! Sweetness oozing on the pages, with wonderful characters (and the not-so-wonderful to make our hero and heroine shine!) and beautiful scenery.

Whimsical. That is the word I would choose for the beautiful novella Between Stairs and Stardust by Pepper Basham. Of course there are a whole bunch of other adjectives that could work as well—fabulous, heart-refreshing, romance-y, and just plain fun.
First off, let’s have a round of applause for a fairytale-ish inspired heroine who has both gumption AND heart. If you’re looking for the defenseless damsel in distress, then you’re gonna be disappointed because Stella Emory is not the helpless gal. Instead she seems to be the one who gives aid when needed! I totally LOVE that element about her. She’s self-less and tenderhearted—the perfect Cinderella of Asheville, NC.
I couldn’t brag about the heroine without mentioning the devoted James. He is the hero of heroes with kindness in every thought and action, loyalty that stretches beyond the social class system, and an all-around goodness that makes him the “prince” of the story.
All in all, this novella brims with enlightening historical details, enchanting landscapes, and a fairy-dust sprinkled romance that stirs the heart.
