From the Back Cover

Sara Myers is terrified when she wakes to find a man next to her bed...and when the man literally vanishes before her eyes, she realizes that Torian Le Fury isn't your average burglar. Sara soon discovers that Torian is a powerful wizard, and he thinks she's a witch, a witch with enough magical power to destroy...or save...the world.

Sara isn't particularly intersted in saving the world. She'd prefer it if Torian just took his gorgeous self and disappeared from her life, permanently. But, when evil creatures known as Dark Ones come after her, she realizes that she's going to need the power of magic to survive.

Torian sets out to teach Sara about the power she possesses. Sara isn't the best magical student who has ever graced the earth, but she is the strongest. And as she spends more time with Torian, her feelings for the mysterious wizard grow.

But Torian is hiding secrets from Sara. Deadly secrets. And the man that she is falling for may be nothing more than a magical illusion.

In a realm where dragons roam, magic rules, and love is a fantasy, Sara Myers will begin to fall under The Wizard's Spell.

This review is from: The Wizard's Spell (Paperback)

Sara Myers had an ordinary life until Torian Fury appeared out of nowhere in her apartment, insisting that she was a High Witch and had to come to his world lest the Dark Ones kill her and bring darkness down upon all worlds. Moreover, he claims she is his mate. Sara does her best to deny his claims, but when the evil ones come after her, she has to face truth and follow her destiny. Once in Tarian's land, she discovers much about herself she never suspected, but may have to sacrifice everything for a world that is not her own.

*** Though the story relies a bit too heavily on sensual scenes to further the plot, it has a classic premise of a lost, magical heir being found in another world. Its a pity there was not more development, but Wizard's Spell is a good fast read if you don't have time for a saga length tale. ***

This review is from: The Wizard's Spell (Paperback)

Sara Myers has an ordinary life. She doesn't think there's anything special about her at all, until one night a strangely dressed man appears in her bedroom. The man claims she's a witch and he's there to protect her. Suddenly, Sara's life is turned upside-down.

Torian Le Fury has been waiting for a long time to find his mate. Now that he's found Sara, he is determined to protect her from the Dark Ones who seek to steal her power when she reaches her thirtieth birthday. Will the stubborn Sara accept his help, and help him save her world and his?

In The Wizard's Spell, Cynthia Eden does a good job of creating a parallel world in which magic reigns and technology is shunned. Ms. Eden also did well weaving action in with romance and back-story. Torian is the perfect tortured hero. His past, and the great strength it would take to overcome it, makes him easy to empathize with. Even his bossy, overprotective moments made sense in light of his history. Sara, on the other hand, was the flaw in this book. While I enjoyed her stubbornness at times, at other times she drove me insane. There were several instances in which she knew she was in danger, yet she refused to listen to Torian or let him help her. Puh-lease, woman! A life or death situation is no time to be arguing. Fortunately, the interesting secondary characters and storyline soothed most of my annoyance with Sara. Although The Wizard's Spell wasn't perfect, the book kept me entertained, and I would like to see some of the secondary characters get their own stories.
