I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK. I liked reading how Megan traveled (actually was pulled) through time into the year 1072. Kenric, half faerie half human warrior, finds Megan huddled in a corner of his cave freezing. He agrees to help her find her betrothed when she promises Kenric land if he helps her return to where she's from. Not sure if she wants to go back escpecially to her abusive fiance right away Megan doesn't mention she is from the future. Kenric wants land so he may settle down, though he is half faerie he has avoided the faerie world and magic and refuses to use his powers. If he can return Megan to her betrothed he will be able to settle down on the land she has promised him as a human. Only problem is as the book progresses Kenric is more reluctant to return her to her fiance. Their adventure takes them to the faerie world and back. This book is well written and completely enjoyable.

Powerful Magic is a well written novel mixing lustful romance and science fiction with time-travel keeping the reader in suspense until the end. Karen masterfully presents the reader with images of magical places and real faeries intertwining the modern-day with the medival era. Soon, the reader is caught up in the fantasies and feels the magic of the love that will linger on their minds. I found it hard to put down. A "must read" for the sci-fi romantic!

Enter a realm where magic is ordinary. Kenric the hero is to die for and Megan could be one of my best friends. I love the kind of book where a wounded hero is healed by love, and this book certainly fits the bill. Add magic, time travel, and you have a book that will take you out of the everyday world to a place where all things are possible! And if you believe in the kind of love that transcends reality, this book will leave you with a warm glow! I look forward to more books by this author!

Powerful Magic is Powerful reading. I was so lost in the story that I couldn't put the book down. A must read.

Megan gets tossed back in time to the year 1072. Kenric finds her in a cave, huddled up and freezing. She wants to get back to her home and her fiance, while he wants land to settle down on. She promises him land in the human world if he will get her back to where she belongs.

This is a great book with elements of time travel, faerie magic, and sensual romance. I highly enjoyed the journey with the two main characters, and the growing romance between them. Ms. Whiddon's imagery of both the faery and human realms is filled with vivid detail; a job done quite well. I cannot wait for the next book in the series! Very highly recommended!

this is the book for you. The hero is a warrior, who has tender moments, and I fell in love with him on the first page. For a first book, Ms. Whiddon has developed a tale that thoroughly engrossed me, and has managed to stay in my mind and heart long after finishing it. I highly recommend this book!

Powerful Magic is more than just a time travel. It's more than just a book about a magical fairy world. It's a wonderful blend of everything I love in a book--steamy romance, unforgettable characters and a rich setting. I'll look for more of Ms. Whiddon's books.

One of the best time-travel stories ever written. I loved the characters and the way the story ended. I was so disappointed that the author had not written more, but I hope more will come. This book should win awards. I like more than just the main characters finding love.

Okay, I bought this book by accident. I thought the writer was someone else. Big mistake! Soon after the first sentence you tire of all of the characters - (and there are a lot of them to get tired of). I started thinking that this entire world should be destroyed. I wanted the prophecy to not come true so the book would end. Skip this one.

I had suspension of disbelief problems. Many times my reaction to the decisions the hero and heroine made was, "No one could be that stupid." I love a well-written romance with characters that don't manufacture their own angst from vapor. Unfortunately, by the time I made it through these 300 pages, I was bored. Turning my boredom into pseudo-horror was the final battle, purportedly between good and evil. It struck me that the author had no idea how to visualize, write about (and possibly believe in) a battle sequence. Barney was there in spirit if not his big purple self. I recommend the book as a very light read for people who multi-task. Read while you cook, clean and solve world hunger. Don't examine it any closer than that.
