DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC?
Ann Macela
Medallion Press
October 2007
978-1-93383-616-7
Paperback
Paranormal Romance/Wizards

 

An ancient force called the soulmate imperative brings together magic practitioners and their mates.  The story says that they always nearly fall into each other’s arms at first sight.  Or do they? 

Computer wizard, and yes, he really is a wizard, Clay Morgan meets Francie Stevens and the soulmate imperative immediately starts acting up, letting him know he has found his mate.  Trouble is, Francie has been hurt deeply by a good looking, charming man and doesn’t want anything to do with Clay.  She’s not a magic practitioner and she certainly doesn’t believe in anything magical. 

But the imperative has other ideas and Clay is in agreement.  Now he needs to convince Francie that magic does exist and she is meant for him.  A tough job and one that Clay realizes he can’t manage on his own.  Francie surprises Clay and the imperative by using it against him in ways they never anticipated. 

This reviewer enjoys stories where there are witches, wizards and such folk as heroes and heroines.  In this story, Clay is the wizard, using his magic in the world of computers.  Ms Macela has created a world where wizards live among us, using their talents in everyday life, according to their abilities.  The sexual tension runs high as Clay tries every trick in the book to get Francis to accept him.  There are some pretty hot, toe curling, bone melting kissing going on, but Francis is one tough cookie.  Ms Macela also gives her readers a very entertaining story that holds them captive from the first page.  This reviewer had only one small complaint.  There was, in this reviewer’s opinion a bit too much internal dialogue which this reviewer found a tad boring, but, this reviewer did enjoy this story and would love to read the first story, The Oldest Kind Of Magic
