As a fellow islander AND a fellow Arabesque romance writer, I have to say I was delighted by Marcia King-Gamble's depiction of the small Caribbean island where Under Your Spell is set. Although in her novel, the island is fictitious, it is based on an island that really exists. I recognised it at once for the beautiful sun-drenched island that it is... a place where I myself fell in love years ago.

Her suspense-filled story of obeah in the islands was equally authentic, as were her rich and wonderful island characters.

And as for Dane, her dreadlocked leading man, let me tell you something, girls...he is the sexiest man on earth!

Under Your spell is a tale of romance, mystery and intrigue. Marcia Gamble spins a web of greed, lust and deceit with main characters, Dane Carmichael, the handsome anthropologist turned Rastafarian and Marley Greaves, his beautiful assistant, who by the way was named after the late great reggae superstar Bob Marley.

The 283 page book is a quick read. You'll find yourself hurriedly turning paper after paper to unravel the mystery of love and island carry-ons for yourself. You won't want to miss this wonderful story of life on a tropical island...

I thought this book had an excellent storyline Mystery and Romance and I loved the dialect of the natives. I recommend this book it was a very good read.

I really enjoyed Marley and Dane's love story. King-Gamble has a way with words!! This book was full of love, fantasy, and mystery. This is a must read book!!

A vivid, refreshing change from the norm, a love story against the backdrop of the fictional San Simone island involving murder and mayhem. I enjoyed it very much.

This book was fast and easy reading, and very romantic. I loved the way Gamble mixed the history of the island culture and its people into a romance novel that was not too far from reality. Even though the end was predictable, the story leading up the ending was adventurous!

UNDER YOUR SPELL, the Island setting, the mystical powers surrounding Island, the intrigue of the male character, the romance, what more could a reader ask for, Ms. Gamble did an excellent job intermixing the mystic powers, mystery, and romance, giving you a triple dose of excitement. Best Wishes!
