Kathleen conjures another delightful tale!!, October 18, 2002
This review is from: Enchantment (The Djinn Series, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
Kathleen gets better and better with each book she writers, though The Seeker is my favourite at this point. She writer two very original and distinct series: the Immortals and the Djinns. She moves from one series to the other ( a couple of each before switching back) keeping the tale fresh and SO ENJOYABLE!! Enchanted, obviously by the cover, is the newest in the djinn series. This one follows Jack Montgomery (the brother of Isis we met in More than Magic). Jack is terrified of the loss of control magick represents, despite his sister making a different choice, and has gone to great lengths to create a small device to negate the power of magick - though he would be loath to admit it - a talisman against magick. And it has adverse reactions when he meets up with the sexy lady in a New Orleans night club. Leila is a djinn, though a rather week one, sort of an outcast in djinn world since she has trouble mastering all the way of magick. She wants a baby, and since she learns that the mating of a human and djinn can produce one, she goes after Jack. But when he touches his talisman, instead of being protected from her magick, he is thrown into her world were magick is the norm and the only means to survive. Only his talisman robbed Leila of her magickal powers, and they are now left alone in the desert to survive on just his wits. It is a gentle tale of these two out of elements having to learn to depend and trust the other in order to live through the ordeal of being isolated for all both know. To fully enjoy, I suggestion your read When Wishes Come True and More than Magick!! A delightful trio!! Way to go Kathleen...keep giving up magick!!

Enchanting romantic fantasy, September 13, 2002
This review is from: Enchantment (The Djinn Series, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
Ever since Darius toyed with him using magic, scientist Dr. Jack Montgomery has worked to find away to disrupt the flow. Now just over two years has lapsed since Jack first tasted magic and hated his lack of control due to it. He feels her has found the means to void spells. Her first choice would have been a man with magical abilities, but being a lightweight genie, Leila settles on intelligence and chooses Jack from a picture she saw of him in her homeland. Leila spins an attraction spell that makes her an alluring 10+, but that does not work as much as the passion Jack feels from looking at her. Jack and Leila kiss, but when the sparks settle and the lips reluctantly separate, a whirlpool spins them into the land of the Djinn. Jack must use other means besides his logical earth physics-based mind if they are to survive until he finds his powerful brother-in-law. As he falls in love with his companion, Jack wonders if his feelings are real or part of a spell cast by Leila. Fans of fantasy romance will feel the ENCHANTMENT of a wonderful novel if they try Kathleen Nance's latest tale. The action-packed story line works on two levels that of the adventures in the mystical land of Djinn and that of a love story between a mortal and a genie. After perusing this novel the audience will conclude that this time the Wizard of Oz provides substance as Ms. Nance deserves accolades for her well written imaginative book. Harriet Klausner

Very Original Tale, December 28, 2002
This review is from: Enchantment (The Djinn Series, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
"Enchantment" is the third novel in Ms Nance's Djinn (genie) series, but it is written in such a way that it can stand on its own. I have not read the first two books in the series (yet), but I had no trouble following the characters or references made to the other stories. "Enchantment" is lively and humorous romp, it is also original enough to keep you guessing till the end. Jack, the hero of the story, was apparently toyed with in a previous book and he has vowed never to let it happen again. He invents a pendent that he hopes will nullify the djinn's power, but before he can test it out a sexy dark-haired stranger approaches him in a New Orleans bar. With their first kiss sparks fly, literally, and he finds himself and the woman transported to the wild and dangerously unpredictable world of the djinn.
