I purchased this book on a whim based upon an amazon.com listmania list. Then it sat around on my shelf for awhile. Until one day I was having a bad week and needed a read to get my mind off my troubles. I grabbed THE ENCHANTRESS and by the second page I was hooked. For the next few difficult days I picked up this PB book and it instantly transported me to Morgana & Garrick's world. It had a beautiful romance between the two lead characters which was quite touching, and the sex scenes were heated but not graphic or disgusting. All in all a highly recommended, unexpectedly suspenseful, wonderful romance!

An easy read. Light, don't have to think and at the end of the book can say " I enjoyed that book".

Lisa Jackson's Enchantress started me on the road to being such an avid Lisa Jackson fan! This book will not disappoint anyone who loves the romance of a suspenseful novel. She keeps you entertained and not wanting to put down the book till the very end and then leaves you wanting more of her style. If you read Enchantress, you'll find yourself coming back for more Lisa Jackson novels...

I wouldn't call Ms. Jackson anything but amazing... this is a must read for anyone who has read any of Lisa jacksons more modern novels.

This book was excellent. I finished it in about 8 hours. The storyline was great and was not all about the sex, but finally some romance. You'll have to read more than half of the book before the hero and heroine "get together". Because of that, I was able to enjoy the story more. This is my second book I've read from the author and she didn't disappoint me. Cheers to Lisa Jackson for a great book.

This was my first by Lisa Jackson but it won't be my last. Her writing is superb, her feel for the medieval period is genuine, her plot is interesting and the characters engaging. ENCHANTRESS captured me from the beginning. It's the first in a medieval trilogy that takes place in Wales (ENCHANTRESS, KISS OF THE MOON and OUTLAW). Jackson weaves foreboding from myth and legends, while still retaining the fundamental belief the characters have in the God of heaven, so as to capture the feel of another time and place where people were influenced by superstition and beliefs in forces of nature. They are simply wonderful All are well written. I recommend you read them in order as they are related and characters in the first show up in the last.

Set in late 13th century Wales, ENCHANTRESS is the story of independent, headstrong Morgana of Wenlock, who has the gift of sight and visions she inherited from her grandmother. With her gift she has helped others, finding lost souls and even saving some from death. Now she will be called upon to help the handsome widower Baron Garrick Maginnis of Castle Abergwynn find his missing son. But Morgana dreads this "lord of the north" because she's seen a vision of a lord from the north bringing death. When the Baron comes to collect her and she is caught disobeying her father, her sire banishes her from Wenlock and gives her to the Baron, who is her father's liege lord, with the freedom to choose whom she will wed. Miserable, Morgana leaves her home vowing to return. But the adventure is only beginning for this wonderful girl. There's treachery at Abergwynn and the man who Garrick would give Morgana to--his cousin and a senior knight--is a man Morgana dreads.

You won't regret buying this one. It's a well told, captivating romance, a tale of love between the headstrong, noble girl and the bitter lord desperate to save his son even as greed and treachery swirl around them. I highly recommend it and it's going on my Best Medieval Romances list.

Here are Jackson's medieval romances in order within each series should you, like me, want to read more:

Welsh trilogy:

ENCHANTRESS
KISS OF THE MOON
OUTLAW

Dark Jewels series:

DARK RUBY
DARK EMERALD
DARK SAPPHIRE
DARK JEWELS

Medieval Romantic Suspense:

SORCERESS
TEMPTRESS
IMPOSTRESS

There's also the single title romance she wrote in 2002 before the others, WILD AND WICKED. It's another 13th century tale.

I first picked up Enchantress because the book took place in medieval times. I am a sucker for books written in that time period. I traditional stay away from romance novels, I find them all them the same. This particular book intrigued me. I felt that the author laid out the sex scene in such a way that the scenes went with the book. This book is not just another book about sex with some plot about it. It captured me. The beginning of this book was slow, and hard to get into, but most good books are. If you are a sucker for books with the medieval setting, you will love this book too.
