Summary: All Three Books Now Available!
Review: The Mag Mell trilogy is now complete. With the publication of MAGIC BY DAYLIGHT, all three books in my fantasy series are now available on Amazon.com. In order, the books are 1. FLOWERS BY MOONLIGHT, 2. KISSED BY STARLIGHT, 3. MAGIC BY DAYLIGHT. I'm a little sad that I won't be visiting Mag Mell again, but I'm thrilled that Jove has brought out all three books in a single year. I'm also delighted that FLOWERS and KISSED have each made the Amazon Fantasy Bestseller list. Thanks to everybody who bought them!

Summary: nice, but I wouldn't pick up another one like it
Review: This book had a lot of potential and it was a good book, but as a romance, I didn't buy it. Blaic and Felicia were nice together - they had a lot of chemistry, but spent too little time together for me to enjoy their romance.

Kissed By Starlight felt like it was Felicia's story. We were supposed to learn and understand all about this woman who was born on the wrong side of the proverbial tracks and has grown up to be pure, strong and honourable anyway. Along the way she happens to meet a faery prince and fall in love with him, but that's not the meat of the story. The meat of the story is Felicia's relationship with all of those around her, including but not limited to: the doctor, the constable, her stepmother, her sister, the orphanage children, her maid and other town and country inhabitants.

The Faery world was interesting, Blaic wasn't the best hero I've ever read, but he was a good mate for Felicia. I was also confused by the relationship between Blaic and the people who were responsible for his punishment. Undoubtedly this was all explained in the previous book or books in the series, but a few words of explanation or a Prologue wouldn't have gone amiss. More disturbing than that, there were more than a few instances of sloppy writing where the scene or time was changed without acknowlegement by the author, leaving me scrambling to figure out when the transition happened.

Through all this Ms. Bailey told an interesting story. Had I known what I was getting into, I probably wouldn't have purchased this book, but, once it was in my hands I didn't have a bad time reading it.
