Just finished Prince of Magic (★★★★) by Linda Winstead Jones. It's listed as the first book in the Children of the Sun trilogy, but since this trilogy is a continuation of the Fyne Witches trilogy, it's almost the fourth book in the series instead. I read & enjoyed the Fyne Witches trilogy in 200...
It was easy to evade the subject when it came up, as she was easily distracted once they became lovers. One touch, and she dismissed everything else from her mind. Once he took her mouth, all questions were forgotten. He continued to diligently set aside the preposterous notion that he and the An...
Seeing Cole standing there beyond the square window, illuminated by the back porch light, made her smile. Inside her heart did a strange flip, and her gut tightened. She could so easily fall in love with him. She unlocked and opened the back door. “...
Well, everything that could possibly go wrong had. His plan to embarrass Charmaine had gone out the window the first time she’d smiled at him. He didn’t want to hurt her. He wanted this one night to be perfect — for her and for him. For Charmaine to be horrified that the man she’d danced with all...

Too much ha...
The overnight bag she’d brought with her had some toiletries and a pair of pajamas. When Daisy asked, Lily said she had more than enough clothes in her old closet. They were going to have to talk about that, Daisy decided, thinking about the dress that had shocked the Taskers and driven Jacob int...
A good lifetime. He could love her, he did love her, in a way he had not thought possible before coming to the village of the Turis. His love for Bela had bloomed unexpectedly, and it had grown stronger on this very mountain. He’d come close to losing her at the hands of an assassin and had been ...
In months past she’d tried everything from pleading with the old man who was on constant guard to attempting to physically yank the chains that bound her from the wall. Her jailer was deaf to her pleas, and she didn’t even make the mortar rattle with her physical attempts.She was doomed. Doomed t...
She did what she could with the room which was her home for the moment, and planned for even better days to come. Though she had never been particularly interested in the arts involved in making a home, she did find herself spending hours mending her torn blue dress—a tedious task—and turning thi...
