Let's Go to the Islands Mon,
By
This review is from: Island Magic: Far from Home/An Estate of Marriage/Then Came You/Enchanted (Romance Anthology) (Mass Market Paperback)
Island Magic was just what I thought it would be. All four stories were wonderful.Felicia Mason's story was about a young woman looking for a little fling when she fell in love unexpectedly with an older man. Eventhough this story was short, Ms. Mason told you enough about the characters to form a solid opinion of them. Shirley Hailstock's story was one of my favorites. I wouldn't mind sharing a house or condo with a gorgeous man. Her character had some serious decisions to make regarding marrying a disabled man. She didn't think she would come to the Island off of Hawaii and fall in love with her housemate. Ms. King-Gamble's story brought some mystery. It was well written. A girl was betrayed by her soon-to-be husband. After she broke up with him, she decided she would take their honeymoon anyway. She met the hero on the island and didn't know he lived in America as a cartoonist. She thought he was just a jack of all trades on the island. I immediately thought "Don't judge a book by its cover". Lastly, but definetely not least Ms. Alers story. I loved this story. A 47 year old woman found the love of her life by taking an Island vacation. I loved the way the Senator swept her off her feet. She was always taking care of her children and even her ex-husband. Now she was going to take a chance at love again. All these stories were wonderful, but what else would you expect from these seasoned authors. Keep them coming ladies!

Island Magic toasts away the winter chill,
By A Customer
This review is from: Island Magic: Far from Home/An Estate of Marriage/Then Came You/Enchanted (Romance Anthology) (Mass Market Paperback)
This four selection novella was so smooth and mellow, that I completed the book in one day. The four authors involved in this project are seasoned veterans with numerous titles behind them. For a change, I did not read the titles in the order in which the appeared, however I did start off with Felicia Mason. What I enjoyed most about these romances, was the effortlessly manner in which the characters realize and accept their attractiveness to each other. I expect when I read fiction, particularly romantic fiction, that the characters have a natural maturity and awareness of their desires. These ladies excel in my opinion, in their ability to present believable characters that the reader visualizes. This is a plesant, smooth and easy read.

Each story fills your heart and leave you wanting more. I enjoyed each story but my favorite was "Far From Home" by Rochelle Alers. I look forward to reading more by these great authors. Be Blessed.

EXOTIC, ENTERTAINING, ROMANTIC,
This review is from: Island Magic: Far from Home/An Estate of Marriage/Then Came You/Enchanted (Romance Anthology) (Mass Market Paperback)
ISLAND MAGIC, set in some of the most exotic and romantic places in the world, it was just as I expected it to be, coming from some of the most recognized Diva's of romance writing, this novel gives you hours of fantasy, romance, pleasure, and begging for more. I've come to expect nothing less from these wonderful writers (Rochelle Alers,Shirley Hailstock,Marcia King-Gamble,Felicia Mason), and look forward to many more hours romance. Wonderful Job!Betty

This review is from: Island Magic: Far from Home/An Estate of Marriage/Then Came You/Enchanted (Romance Anthology) (Hardcover)
These stories were a great getaway. We all have wondered where we will meet the man of our dreams. Hawaii and St. Thomas are the most memorable from this book. The writers description put me there without the hassel of airport security. Rochelle Alers and Shirley Hailstock have been two of my favorite writers for years.

Good stuff,
This review is from: Island Magic: Far from Home/An Estate of Marriage/Then Came You/Enchanted (Romance Anthology) (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm getting more into the four author thing that has been going on lately. I really enjoyed the stories. It was one that I didn't really like, but the other three were great. I have to say that they draw a detailed view of Jamaica, that you wish you were there. This will be a good read for anybody.

Too Obvious,
By A Customer
This review is from: Island Magic: Far from Home/An Estate of Marriage/Then Came You/Enchanted (Romance Anthology) (Mass Market Paperback)
I found all of the plots too obvious. There was no mystery to any of the stories and none of the plots had any imagination. I was very displeased with the complete novel.
