Summary: I was swindled out of everything I owned by magic, and I've never been happier in my life. So starts out the tale of Barq, a farmer (in a medieval world farming is the original oldest profession) in the fascinating world on the other side of the Enchanted Forest. Taking place in the same magical place as Encounters: CowGirl, The Unicorn tells a tale of a comfortably well-off man tricked into marrying a slothful witch. Not satisfied with half a loaf his deceitful wife schemes to gain it all by transforming him into a random animal. His childhood love of trying to catch a glimpse of the elusive unicorn leads him to believe that of the choices remaining to him, if not a man any longer, then a horse. In the end his new form leads him where his old human self never could have ventured. It's a sexy fairytale from the far side of the forest.

Dakota's Review: This delightful addition to the Encounters series was a well written story and whisked this reviewer away. Since fiction often mimics reality, I empathized with Barq as he married the wrong woman for him and ends up under the spell which changes him. Using the unique outlook from only Barq's perspective, D.B. Story tells us a strong story thick with moral value and a decidedly erotic twist. Encounters: The Unicorn reminded me of listening to the Brothers Grimm fairy tales and how each had a morale to the story. The young girl in me loved the idea of Barq seeking out the elusive unicorn as I am a fellow aficionado. I am happy to see, that there are still fellow enthusiasts out there.

In this short but sweet story, I was taken from highs of a first love--as misguided as it can be--to the lows of disappointment and back to the highs as Barq finally finds his true purpose. With strong writing, heart tugging characters, and a dash of fantasy thrown in, I am pleased to give Encounters: The Unicorn four and a half Delightful Divas. Kudos, Mr. Story, for such a well written story! I look forward to reading more of your stories in the future!

Rated 4 ½ Delightful Divas by Dakota!
