Author's Summary: It’s a place of wonder, and there she can forget what she is, the life she leads. And it’s worth all the beatings in the world—every single time.

Review:
This is a gorgeous AU piece. Rose is a servant girl and Ten (a.k.a. John Smith) is a benevolent lord who falls in love with her one day after she stumbles into his garden. The author uses such luscious, descriptive language that I feel as though I’m there, and I love the part when John Smith goes face-to-face with Rose’s master; the tension is electric, very “Oncoming Storm”! This author crams a lot of great writing into a small, bite-sized fic that I’d recommend to anyone. Fluffy, romantic, feel-good… fantastic.
