4.0 out of 5 stars magical, July 21, 2000

This review is from: Magic by Daylight (Paperback)

I thought this book was very good, although it was a little slow during the beginning it got much more interesting towards the middle and end. It's about a mortal falling in love with another mortal that he was sworn to protect by the king of the Fey ( faery people). The betrayals that clarise has to go through and the suffering that both knight and her have to endure to make their love work is truly magical. Not to mention the fact that her mortal mother, who was turned into an immortal is now trying to take over the land of the Fey, makes some unusal twist into the story

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical! I loved it!, December 31, 1999

This review is from: Magic by Daylight (Paperback)

Viscountess Clarice Stavely welcomed the man named Dominic Knight into her home. After all, he had a letter from her brother-in-law vouching for his identity and honor. He was supposed to be a writer who was in the area to write a book on the relics in Hamdry and the moors. In truth, he was under orders by the Fay King, himself, to keep an eye on Clarice.

The most I can tell you without revealing the surprises, yet to help you understand what this book is about and whether you would enjoy it, is that the Fay King needed Clarice as a pawn due to a war in the Fay world. Dominic was to be her jailer and guardian, because the King's enemy was trying to kidnap Clarice for different reasons.

Full of magic, faeries, and a few mythical beings, this is the ULTIMATE of Super Natural Romance books!

I really enjoyed this book. I must say that it doesn't fit the usual romance mold -- in bed by a certain page, etc. It is far more of a fantasy novel than a romance novel, but it has just enough romance -- a fun read for romance readers & fantasy readers alike. It's about a woman living in the early 1800s England. She's wealthy and has a devoted staff and devoted tenants on her land. She wanders one night and finds herself on a "tor" where a rider comes out of nowhere and rides off, she has not been seen by the rider, but is completely terrified of him. She is alternately attacked by a "dark rider" and protected by one who has been sent by the faeries to protect her. About half the book takes place in the faery world -- full of intrigue, danger, war. I won't say more because I don't want to destroy the story for anyone.

On balance, die-hard fantasy reader's will feel this is more romance than fantasy & die-hard romance fans will feel this is more fantasy than romance. All will have different take on this book. All in all though, this book was a lot of fun to read!
