The premise was interesting: a secret society of immortal witches that takes care of its own. Our hero, Dagon, is a powerful witch who plans on marrying another witch of equal or greater power. Unfortunately, he finds himself attracted to Sarina, a witch who mysteriously lacks power and is quite clumsy. Sarina has her own secrets and doesn't quite trust the arrogant witch, but she, too, finds herself falling in love with him.

Okay, read this, thought it was all right minus the odd dialogue and the sermons on love (I know, it's a romance, it's supposed to talk about love, but this was a little over the top--very sappy and wishy-washy). The dialogue was too archaic. Although the witches are immortal, you would think their language would change with the times. Instead, they seem to be trapped in the medieval ages, despite the fact that it's the 1990s. There were a few too many sermons on the magical and omnipotent aspects of love. After the first two, I though "Enough already...get on with the story!"

Regardless, I liked the book. Enough to look for its prequel, WEDDING SPELL. If you like paranormal romances, you'll probably enjoy this one. Donna Fletcher has created an interesting fantasy world I wouldn't mind visiting again.

Once again Donna has written another fantastic book. This is a brilliant follow-on to Wedding Spell. It brings back old favorites from Wedding Spell, Alisande, Sebastion, Dagon and Sydney. This is Dagon's story. He returns home to Scotland after Ali's and Sebastion's wedding to find a witch who has lost her powers and creating havok. Dagon thinks she is young about 100 years old, but there is a mystery surounding Sarina. The more he looks for it the more he is confused. Dagon requests a meeting with The Ancient One. He thinks she would be the perfect lifemate for him, but that is before meeting Sarina.

This book is one of the best I have read and I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as I did. I'm looking forward to reading Magical Memories which is next in the series. I am sure it will be as good as the last two, truly magical. Well done Donna.

I like a book with magic, love and a little suspense which this book contains!! Top it off with a hunk and a babe that has the hunk turning in circles trying to figure her out gives a wonderful combination. Lovely book to read. probably the best among the three!

Somehow, I expected there to be more humour in this book and was a little disappointed by the lack of it. Also, the anticipation that builds during the book didn't quite live up to its promise as I thought the end was a little disappointing. I was also confused as to why such a wise witch would allow herself to get so upset and flustered.

I'm not quite sure if Magical Love is quite my thing but if you like Magic then give this a try,in the end it really is a nice love story.

I enjoyed reading about Sarina and Dagon. However, This book was more like a contemporary romance with just a bit of finger waving and floating thrown in. It was a fine entertaining read with good characterization and I recommend it, just don't get your hopes up in seeing any great magical feats wowing you. The premise of A secret witch society has great possibilities that I hope Donna Fletcher will expand on in any future books she may do in this series.

Hi everyone I am 15 yrs old I read this book so my mom said I could rate it. A powerful male witch falls for a clumsy female witch who has mysteriously lost her powers. After awhile I felt she was too clumsy, and abit stupid for someone over 1000. I mean even if a witch loses her powers, she still should be able to handle herself to some degree living over 1000 yrs. I mean who gets stuck on a chandelier? I figured out early why she lost her powers, and who the Ancient One was. I also knew ahead of time the miracle that would break the spell. I mean they had much sex. Ms. Fletcher spoke over and over about what love is, felt like one of my school lessons.
The book had a few moments but I am sorry I just cannot recommend it. At times it just dragged on repeating itself over and over. To those of you who liked the book don't be offened this is just the opinion of a young reader.

This is the second part of a trilogy. The first is Wedding Spell, the third is Magical Memories.

I wanted to like these books. I really did. I love books with paranormal characters and elements and I love romance novels. I bought Wedding Spell last summer when I was on vacation, all set to tuck into a fun, whimsical time. But I was surprised, kinda of like seeing the previews for StepMom and then actually seeing the movie.

Each book is about a member of a wealthy, ancient witch family and (since they are romances) the protagonist's search for a lifemate. I got 50 pages in to Wedding Spell and tossed it onto the recycle box. Several weeks later one of the women asked me if this was part of a trilogy. I said it was. Did I have them? No, I hadn't. She raved so much about the book. Absolutely couldn't put it down. I thought, maybe I'd missed something. Since I told her she could have it, I felt funny asking to read it again (ah, yeah, I tossed the book in there cause I thought it was terrible. Glad you liked it!) So, I bought it again, and the two others. Sometimes it happens I don't click with a book or a movie on the first try. It's rare, but it does happen.

I usually try to find something nice to say about a book, but this time, I just can't. During this second try I read Magical Moments first. It was so appallingly bad I couldn't stop reading it. The author has no ear for dialogue. There's hardly a contraction is sight, so most everyone sounds like a pompous know-it-all, or a Shakespearean wannabe AND a pompous know-it-all. Rather than having situations grow out of the character's own personality, they were all contrivances so the hero could get his hands on the heroine. Some of you would argue that their entire purpose of a romance novel is for the hero to get his hands on the heroine, but that's really not the case. He's only 300, but she's an OLD witch, a wise one, over 1K years old. Most times he acts like a bellowing bully from the bad old days of bodice rippers. She, for being so old and wise, is mostly a ditz, though some people might argue she's a primitive innocent.

I can only marvel that this book was published in the first place and hope Ms. Fletcher will improve with time.

I AM A GREAT READER OF ROMANCE.THIS BOOK IS SIMPLE WONDERFUL.DO BUY IT YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY.THIS IS THE FIRST BOOK OF DONNA FLETCHER I HAVE READ AND WOULD NOT STOP WITH JUST THIS ONE NOW.ONCE YOU START YOU CANNOT PUT IT DOWN AND THAT IS THE BEST REVIEW YOU CAN GET.

I really enjoyed this book. You see some nice character development in Dagon. i really like what this author has done with the entire series. I think all romance lovers will enjoy this book. It has an interesting blend of romance and the magical. A must for those of us who believe in true love.

An strangely incompetent witch meets a very powerful witch and magic happens... along with crashing items and falling heroines. This is funny and teaches what love is really about... and not just romantic love. Caution: If you are Wiccan you may have a bit of a problem with the way that one of the characters implies that the Wiccan religion is sort of child's play. As a Wych I follow my soul's direction on an ancient path and although I am not Wiccan I know many who are and most are more serious about their faith then many I know of other faiths. All that aside; taken with a *cow lick* of salt this story is well written and fun and I look forward to the next one... which hopefully there will be at least about Tempest.
