Captivated (Donovan Legacy) [Mass Market Paperback]

Nora Roberts (Author)

Book Description

Series: Donovan Legacy | Publication Date: February 1, 2004

A classic novel from the enchanting series The Donovan Legacy.

Only the phenomenal Nora Roberts could have created the remarkable Donovan clan. Fascinating and irresistible, the mysterious Donovan cousins share a secret that's been handed down through generations -- a secret that sets them apart from ordinary beings.

Captivated

His interest in her was purely professional . . . Or so he told himself. Nash Kirkland had sought out the alluring Morgana Dovovan to help him research his latest screenplay, though the hardheaded skeptic didn't believe for a minute she was what she professed to be. But, as Morgana revealed herself to him, Nash found himself falling under her bewitching spell. Nash had never trusted his feelings and always kept them in check. So how could he be sure the irresistible passion he felt for Morgana was real and not just some conjurer's trick?

The Donovan Legacy continues with Entranced, coming soon from Silhouette Books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another good read from Nora Roberts!, July 11, 2000

This review is from: Captivated (Silhouette Special Edition #768) (Paperback)

Since I collected all of Nora Roberts' books a few summers ago, I am slowly reading her titles to make them last. But considering she writes three books a year, I will most likely always have a Nora book to look forward to. And once again as she has done in the past this author has entranced me with the first book in the Donovan series, Captivated.

When Nash, a Hollywood writer, needs help with facts for his next thriller movie, he seeks out the beautiful Morgana, known in the community to be a bona fide witch. But what he doesn't reckon with are her powers which he doesn't at first believe are anything more than pranks. And he certainly doesn't believe that her two cousins, Sebastian and Anastasia are anymore witches than their parents are either.

Like many of Nora's other series book, this one is light and entertaining and has me looking forward to reading the next title, Entranced.

Note - Although it says that this title is out of print, in 1999, the first three Donovan titles were published in one book called The Donovan Legacy. And at the same time the fourth book Enchanted about cousin Liam Donovan was also published.

So happy Wiccan reading and afterwards tell me you don't believe there is any truth in this paranormal tale.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Story but Not Captivating, March 19, 2004

This review is from: Captivated (Donovan Legacy) (Mass Market Paperback)

I have to admit I was not completely captivated by this story. The ending (last 30 pages or so) was great - surprise and utter romance. Everything leading up to the ending was pretty repetitive and uneventful, except for the few witch demonstrations. But due to the ending of the book, I recommend it to any Nora Roberts fan.

2.0 out of 5 stars A disappointed Nora Roberts read, February 19, 2004

This review is from: Captivated (Donovan Legacy) (Mass Market Paperback)

Nora Roberts is one of my favorite authors. However, Captivated fell flat for me. The problem - No Plot.
The book was first published in 1992. If you are a fan of Ms. Roberts, you can see how much she's grown as a writer in the last 12 years, if you've read of her more recent works.
I like all the characters, I just wish they were doing something other than the cliche'.

After I bought this book, a co-worker noticed that I had it, because she's a big NR fan, too. She said she couldn't get into it, and neither could I. I finished it (she didn't), but not without forcing myself to pick it up and do so.

Skip this series, it's not worth it.
