Princess Talia has slept under the spell of a wicked witch for two hundred years.

Just before his brother’s coronation, Prince Joringel of Gaziantep, left to seek his own fortune and wake the princess. On his way, the Prince encounters Jordina, a virginal beauty beyond all others. He spends a passionate yet unforgettable night within her arms. Unable to bear losing her, she accompanies him on his quest into the forest. Jordina promises to help him awaken the princess however, the witch has other plans and has her stolen and turned into a statue for her garden, the fate of all who trespass.

Heartbroken, Joringel meets a magical owl-gnome. He tells Joringel to return to his brother and return for two princes are to awaken the princess. Reluctantly he returns for his brother for help in awakening the princess. Together they awaken the princess with their caresses and their passionate kisses. Though they awaken Talia, the question that remains unanswered is whether the three of them can awaken the woman of stone. In addition, can they defeat the witch’s magic spells?

Awakening is a different twist on the sleeping beauty tale with a kiss that doesn’t wake the princess but instead it is passionate kisses and erotic caresses. This reviewer thought the sex was incredibly hot but also well written for a modern version of Sleeping Beauty. The mixture of magic in this tale is simply enchanting. The owl gnome really is a wizard for whom the witch wanted. With the face off in the end, the author presents quite an unexpected twist. The most enjoyable part of this owl-gnome is his bawdy sense of humor. He literally grabs the readers by the...privates. This reviewer doubts that the story of Sleeping Beauty will ever be the same way ever again.
