5.0 out of 5 stars Moonspun Magic......a great story!, January 27, 2000

This review is from: Moonspun Magic (Magic Trilogy) (Paperback)

This is the last book in the Magic Trilogy. Coulter writes of a sea captian, Rafael Castairs (introduced in "Calypso Magic"), and his journey to London. On the way, he saves Victoria Abermarle, none other than his hated twin's ward. Of course, a romance bloom between the two. Rafael is loving and gentle, although very stubborn, and of course, worms his way into Victoria's heart. Just as Victoria, with her innocence and beauty, worms right into his heart. Sit back and enjoy the love story as it grows between the two. The fight scenes are halirious, the sex scenes steamy, and the mystery and dealings of Damein, Rafael's twin, are twisted. I find this one a highly enjoyable story written by Coulter, which allows us to revisit all the characters from the first two books, however briefly.

5.0 out of 5 stars My all-time favorite novel from Ms. Coulter !!!!!, July 24, 1999

This review is from: Moonspun Magic (Magic Trilogy) (Paperback)

I've read (almost) all of her books, and this fun-packed love-story is the best ever penned. The incomparably funny sparring between Victoria and Rafael, and the steam-filled love scenes are so invigorating that U have to read it again and again just for the heck of it. Irresistible !!! =P

3.0 out of 5 stars A hero saves the heroine only to not believe her...., October 22, 2002

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Moonspun Magic (Magic Trilogy) (Paperback)

I really didn't like this one as much as many of the other Catherine Coulter stories I have read. The main hero Rafael is an ... He continues to jump to conclusions whenever he does anything, which only gets him in trouble. Not only that but why would you stay at the home of your brother (a twin) when he has tried to assault your wife?

Victoria is trying to escape from Damien who is bent on taking her innocence. So she runs away and tries to make it to London where she may actually not be a poor as she has been led to believe. Along the way she comes up against smugglers and is saved by who she thinks is the man she fears. But, why is he being kind. Well he is the good brother. Things continue and in the end he marries her (Rafael) but he listens to the lies of his brother and accuses her of unspeakable things, when all she was trying to hide was an injured leg.

As usual there are a few sub plots with this one but I recommend that you should read the Song Trilogy instead.
