3.0 out of 5 stars I was hoping for more, October 3, 2000

After reading Sebatian, Ali, Sarena and Dagon's stories, I guess I was looking for a little bit more depth in dealing with Tempest and Michael's story. This was a nice love story, but there was nothing exciting or no real plot to speak of. It was great seeing the other characters and having them interact with Tempest and Michael (watching Sarena and Ali pregnant was very funny and added some great wit to the story) but that was the highlight to me. Once you learned the premise of the story, (within the first 30 pages of the book), nothing really happens. We see over and over again Tempest's doubts about Michael, but we are supposed to see her love for him too. If love is the ultimate, end all, apex, zenith, etc, etc, etc, then there should have been no doubt in Tempest's mind about the outcome of her spell. It seemed to me, the only thing her doubts could have produced was to make Michael doubt himself and the choices he must make. Actually, that is what I thought the moral of the story should have been, that it was Tempest's doubts that had to be overcome, not Michael's "dark side".

I felt much more empathy with Michael and liked the way his character was written better than Tempest. I only wish there was a little more internal conflict shown. Because I do not want to give away the little plot that there was, I will not elaborate, but to say that I did not feel like there was ANY internal struggle. It seemed to me that Michael figured everything out pretty early on.

I did enjoy being sucked into the scenes, as if I was there in the room with our characters. Ms. Fletches does a great job accomplishing this and on that level of writing, she succeeds wonderfully and made the book worth finishing (to me). If you have read the preceding books, then I would pick this one up, though I did not like it as much as the other two.

This review is from: Magical Memories (Paperback)

In spite of the nasty Scottish weather, Tempest did not want to linger any longer at the home of her sister Sarina and her new brother-in-law the witch Dagon. However, instead of using her powers to beam herself home, Tempest decides to drive on the treacherous roads. As the storm worsen and visibility vanishes, Tempest hits a walking Michael Deeds. She takes him to a nearby village where the doctor informs her that he suffered a broken leg.

Feeling guilty and heeding a vision her sibling foreseen, Tempest takes the rugged American into her home for him to heal. While Michael recuperates, an attraction erupts between he and Tempest. However, she wonders if he might be the warlock she once loved and banished. If he is that person, will he select love or return to the darkness that ended their previous relationship. If he is not that person, Tempest wonders why she feels so deeply towards him.

In a relatively short time, Donna Fletcher has become one of the wizards of the fantasy romance sub-genre. Her latest tale, MAGICAL MEMORIES, will enhance her reputation for making the impossible seem plausible. The story line is fun due to the interaction of the charming lead characters. As with WEDDING SPELL, Ms Fletcher places her fans under a magical spell of enjoyment.

This review is from: Magical Memories (Paperback)

This was a nice book. I read the first two in this series, Magical Moments and The Wedding Spell and enjoyed them all, even though the first 2 were better. I liked seeing the pregnant Serina and Ali -- so funny! I enjoy the supernatural in books and love was a good theme, but "love conquers all" was a bit overdone and I began to get sick of how the theme was constantly drummed into the reader -- we really don't need to be told 20-kazillion times. By the end of the book, I was sick of the lectures on love -- but I am glad I read this anyway -- a real feel good book and it looks like another sequel might be coming with Sydney. :)
