The Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania, a world-renowned black illusionist, and old family baggage are the makings for another romantic mystery for Marcia King-Gamble. Skye Walker is back in her hometown Mills Creek writing for the local newspaper after eight years in Paris. There she had blossomed from an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan. Now she is a self-confident journalist and a very attractive woman, not the same woman who was stood up for the prom as a practical joke. One of her first big assignments is to interview Creed Bennett, an acclaimed illusionist, who has come back home for some much needed rest amid rumors surrounding him involving a number of missing women who were in one way or another associated with him. He is also the one who stood her up on prom night. Creed has little patience with journalists, especially beautiful young woman journalists. Skye is at first insulted that he doesn't even remember who she is, and when Creed does realize who she is, he is embarrassed when remembers his innocent part in the prom practical joke. This was a finely crafted 4½ star romantic suspenseful tale.

I enjoyed reading the book and I have suggested it to all of my friends. It was funny and full of suspense. A murder mystery and love story all wrapped into one. Simply Marvelous!

A book with suspense and love all wrap up together, what more could you ask for. I really enjoyed this book. You find yourself trying to figure out the what is going to happen next.

Marcia has done an excellant job. Very good read.

I have not only had the pleasure of reading all of this author's books, but had the pleasure of meeting Marcia King-Gamble in person.

This was one of the best romance/murder mystery books I have read. The plot that was selected for this story will show readers, that every page you will turn until you finish this story is so good. Skyla Walker, who is a reporter is the heroine in this story and Creed Bennett, the famous illusionist is the hero. To my fellow romance readers: if you like the stories that not only involves the romantic parts but has the mystery of five suspected murders pointing to the hero, with some interesting twist of clues to figure out as you read every page. Then, this is the book you must read, let me just suggest you read the entire book period. This is an easy read, very enjoyable, author will keep you interested until the very end and never a boring part occurs in this book. The author has truly impressed me with how well she put this one together, it was a very well thought out plot and she should do more of the romance/mysteries in the future.

Thanks Marica, for giving your reader fans like me such an enjoyable book to read.

Check out some of my other favorite books I've read by this author: Eden's Dream, Island Magic, Under Your Spell and Remembrance.

Illusions of Love was a great mystery. I really liked the love between Creed and Skye. I think Jed (Creed's father) added a little twist to the story. It would be nice to know why he left his family and became a bum of sorts.

You think you know who done it and then something else happens and your wrong.

This is the best novel Ms. Marcia has written. I also liked her novella in Island Magic.
