Relation To Books A Kiss in Time
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.
I awakened in the same place but in another time—to a stranger's soft kiss.
I couldn't help kissing her. Sometimes you just have to kiss someone. I didn't know this would happen.
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?

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 feelsHaving 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
If you are a big fan of Beastly, which is made also by Alex Flinn, then you would love this another great book of hers. I just read this overnight and I think its the first time I read that fast, or maybe its because the book isnt that thick at all. I love this book, Ill rate it 5 stars. Im a big fan of fairytale stories since I was little, like I re watch all Disney princesses movies all the time and now that Im older, I watch it again! Sometimes with my little cousins who loves and adores it
I adore this book. It's hilarious, for one thing. Furthermore, it's the kind of book that hooks you in with the first page. The two person narrative between Talia and Jack was brilliantly done, and made the character development for both characters much stronger; Plus, it made the relationship between Talia and Jack much more realisitc, and I could actually see their opinions of eachother bloom throughout the book. Alex Flinn also does a good job of portraying teenage characterssometimes authors
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
I read this book because I liked Beastly so much. I finished that book in exactly one day. However, it took me quite some time to finish A Kiss in Time. Well, two days, maybe? But that was because I wasnt reading it every second of the day. Well, yeah.I really enjoyed this book mainly because it was based on Sleeping Beauty. Sleeping Beauty is my favorite Disney Princess. So yeah. I was sooo excited to read this.And it turns out it was the right type of excitement! :) The reason I posted THAT
1/5 Stars If you want to waste your time and money I would definitely recommend this book.This book was just boring and the characters were extremely unlikable. The only thing I liked about the book was that it was a retelling of Sleeping Beauty with a twist. It's a shame that the author did a poor job at it.I have been wanting to read 'Beastly' for such a long time and now finding out that it's from the same author of this awful book has completely changed my thoughts on even bothering with it.
