Summary: You'll love this book,a brilliant follow-on to Wedding Spell
Review: Once again Donna has written another fantastic book. This is a brilliant follow-on to Wedding Spell. It brings back old favorites from Wedding Spell, Alisande, Sebastion, Dagon and Sydney. This is Dagon's story. He returns home to Scotland after Ali's and Sebastion's wedding to find a witch who has lost her powers and creating havok. Dagon thinks she is young about 100 years old, but there is a mystery surounding Sarina. The more he looks for it the more he is confused. Dagon requests a meeting with The Ancient One. He thinks she would be the perfect lifemate for him, but that is before meeting Sarina.

This book is one of the best I have read and I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as I did. I'm looking forward to reading Magical Memories which is next in the series. I am sure it will be as good as the last two, truly magical. Well done Donna.

Summary: Lots of build up ... but a little disappointing
Review: Somehow, I expected there to be more humour in this book and was a little disappointed by the lack of it. Also, the anticipation that builds during the book didn't quite live up to its promise as I thought the end was a little disappointing. I was also confused as to why such a wise witch would allow herself to get so upset and flustered.

I'm not quite sure if Magical Love is quite my thing but if you like Magic then give this a try,in the end it really is a nice love story.

Summary: Fletcher shows potential
Review: The premise was interesting: a secret society of immortal witches that takes care of its own. Our hero, Dagon, is a powerful witch who plans on marrying another witch of equal or greater power. Unfortunately, he finds himself attracted to Sarina, a witch who mysteriously lacks power and is quite clumsy. Sarina has her own secrets and doesn't quite trust the arrogant witch, but she, too, finds herself falling in love with him.

Okay, read this, thought it was all right minus the odd dialogue and the sermons on love (I know, it's a romance, it's supposed to talk about love, but this was a little over the top--very sappy and wishy-washy). The dialogue was too archaic. Although the witches are immortal, you would think their language would change with the times. Instead, they seem to be trapped in the medieval ages, despite the fact that it's the 1990s. There were a few too many sermons on the magical and omnipotent aspects of love. After the first two, I though "Enough already...get on with the story!"

Regardless, I liked the book. Enough to look for its prequel, WEDDING SPELL. If you like paranormal romances, you'll probably enjoy this one. Donna Fletcher has created an interesting fantasy world I wouldn't mind visiting again.

Summary: Oh - pul-leeze!!
Review: This is the second part of a trilogy. The first is Wedding Spell, the third is Magical Memories.

I wanted to like these books. I really did. I love books with paranormal characters and elements and I love romance novels. I bought Wedding Spell last summer when I was on vacation, all set to tuck into a fun, whimsical time. But I was surprised, kinda of like seeing the previews for StepMom and then actually seeing the movie.

Each book is about a member of a wealthy, ancient witch family and (since they are romances) the protagonist's search for a lifemate. I got 50 pages in to Wedding Spell and tossed it onto the recycle box. Several weeks later one of the women asked me if this was part of a trilogy. I said it was. Did I have them? No, I hadn't. She raved so much about the book. Absolutely couldn't put it down. I thought, maybe I'd missed something. Since I told her she could have it, I felt funny asking to read it again (ah, yeah, I tossed the book in there cause I thought it was terrible. Glad you liked it!) So, I bought it again, and the two others. Sometimes it happens I don't click with a book or a movie on the first try. It's rare, but it does happen.

I usually try to find something nice to say about a book, but this time, I just can't. During this second try I read Magical Moments first. It was so appallingly bad I couldn't stop reading it. The author has no ear for dialogue. There's hardly a contraction is sight, so most everyone sounds like a pompous know-it-all, or a Shakespearean wannabe AND a pompous know-it-all. Rather than having situations grow out of the character's own personality, they were all contrivances so the hero could get his hands on the heroine. Some of you would argue that their entire purpose of a romance novel is for the hero to get his hands on the heroine, but that's really not the case. He's only 300, but she's an OLD witch, a wise one, over 1K years old. Most times he acts like a bellowing bully from the bad old days of bodice rippers. She, for being so old and wise, is mostly a ditz, though some people might argue she's a primitive innocent.

I can only marvel that this book was published in the first place and hope Ms. Fletcher will improve with time.
