I liked "When You Believe" and "Reason to Believe" and I'm going to get "Believe in me". These are the first books I read by Jessica Inclan and I'm hoping she writes more like them. I found the stories very good and I enjoyed reading them.

In our time, there are two kinds living upon the Earth. The humans--Moyenne--live unknowingly amid the powerful and ancient Les Croyant des Trois. It is within this written realm that wondrous things play out and lives will be threatened. Open the book to experience the magical grandeur of Reason To Believe...

Fabia Fair is one of the Croyant. Her special ability to listen to the mental thinking of the Moyenne makes her the perfect candidate to help find and stop the evil, Quain Dalzeil and his followers.

One day she spots a man huddled on some steps all by him self. This meeting will forever change both their lives. Forcing feeling and twisting their lives in ways neither of them could ever imagine.

REASON TO BELIEVE is the last release by Jessica Inclan. Ms. Inclan's voice speaks in fresh tones and fully realized characters that will magically transport you into their world of magic, spells and the wizardry of Reason To Believe. The sparks of spell casting, transporting and the creation of love will have you enchanting and delighted from the very start. The emotions that start off this novel will pull at your heartstrings and an instant bond will form with the two main characters. This is an exceptional paranormal novel and one this reviewer highly recommends.

Fabia is a wonderful and trusting soul. When she spies a hurt and dirty--Moyenne--man crouched upon the steps one day, at first, she thinks he is a drunk. But, once she really looks at him, she notices he has been hurt and has no memory or ability to speak. Something about this poor pitiful man calls to her soul and she will take him home and care for him.

From that fateful moment Fabia takes the strange man home, does this story unfold to reveal magical wonders and danger for both of them. What will happen? Who is the brutalized stranger she found? Is he friend or foe?

The voice of Ms. Inclan is undeniable rich and creative. She has stirred up a different and remarkable fresh approach in the paranormal romance field with this novel. Ms. Inclan is on her way to be the ultimate paranormal princess!

This is the second book in this new series. The first book is When You Believe. This book deals with Rufus and Fabia's story. We find out in this book how Rufus lost his memory and was taken in by Fabia. Fabia and Rufus are from the Croyant race, magical people, trying to integrate into the Moyennne race, the humans. This book has a touch of adult fantasy, romance, and social issues pertinent today. I absolutely love this series and have enjoyed the first two so far and will definitely buy the third. It has mystery, magic, romance and a wonderful style of writing. I highly recommned reading this wonderful author.

This book was an ok read, not riveting since I put it down often to read other books, even to reread other books. Maybe the next book in the series would be better. This I believe was the first and yet it seemed to start the characters in the middle of the story. Maybe I was wrong and it is not the first in which case the book cannot stand on it's own from the series. Just an ok read.

This is the second book in this series and it is not as compeling as the first. Enter again a world of Moyenne (humans) and Croyant those who perform magic, spells, incantations,etc you get the picture. Moyenne are ignorant of the Croyant and most Croyant want to live in peace with the non-magic humans, but some don't. Some want to control the humans, and feel Croyants should rule the world and they don't care what they have to do or who they have to kill to do this. This time around it was a little too reminiscent of an adult version of Harry Potter, but instead of our hero and heroine being triumphant they constantly and consistantly get their you know what kicked. In fact all the men and women of reason seem to do is get taken at will and beaten up by the bad guys. Most of the story appears to be spinning its wheels as opposed to moving forward. It's not until towards the end that a third party is introduced into the scenario that may shift the balance.

The story between the hero and heroine is a good one, it's the entrance of the magics that breaks down the love story. Meet Rufus, who while rescusing his brother from a crazy Croyant female, gets beated up and had his memories stolen from him by said woman before he teleported himself or was teleported away from the scene. Enter Fabia Fair, love the name, who finds this man on the doorsteps across the street from where she lives. She is a kind gentle soul who has very strong telepathic abilities, she can listen to minds far away. She's helping her people look for the troublemakers among them. She doesn't know that Rufus is a Croyant like herself, because his mind at first is a blank. He can't remember who he is, he can't speak, he can barely walk, he doesn't even know how to perform the most basic human functions on his own. The few days that these two are together while his memory returns and they begin to fall in love is what makes this book, it's their love story that makes it worthwhile.

After trying to rescue his brother and failing Rufus finds all of his memories are gone and he is alone and scared, all of his magic is gone. That is when Fabia finds him on the step of a neighbor house. She thinks he's probably one of the many lost homeless people found on the streets. But she cant hear his thoughts like with the moyenne there is constant things running around never such quiet they haven't learned how to be quiet with their thoughts no she doesnt think that he is a Moyenne (just an ordinary mortal) So Fabia goes to him she can feel that there is something more with this man so she takes him to her house. Maybe hes under a very strong spell that has been cast on him and he only needs time to come out of it. They clean him up and it is apparent that he is not just a homeless person his body is strong and the cloths he had on were not cheap. He had been in some type of fight, but with who? Could he be one of them, Croyant?

And as time goes on he does begin to get some things back with each kind caress and gentle kiss his memory is returning but maybe this is not what he wants because Rufus is not an ordinary mortal he is a Croyant, a man of magic, and someone is trying to harm him and the people he cares for. The Croyant people are divided some what to rule the moyenne, some feel that they should just rid the world of the moyenne. They don't want to live in secret anymore. And yet others want to start a way to bring the Moyesnn and the Croyant together. but yet still others cannot forgot the burnings or the trials or the crazed mobs with their torches coming after them every time something went wrong. Blaming them. And then there were the one's that just want it to stay the way it is secret. But no matter what there will be more trouble and Fabia and Rufus are going to have to find what there part is in all of the and it after they will still be able to continue with there growing attraction to each other
JESSICA INCLAN has brought us back to this world of Magic in her second book in this series, REASON TO BELIEVE. It is a wonderfully written book that does give you reason to believe that there is hope even at the most desperate of times and the attraction and love that grow between Fabia and Rufus and the trust they give to each other nothing not even this evil magic that is treating to tear up all they believe in can keep them apart.

Dreams and Magic are alive. Do you believe?
