5.0 out of 5 stars WOO-HOO!, January 15, 2003

By	Huntress Reviews (United States) - See all my reviews

In a prior book, Prince Of Charming, we met a friend of Robin's named Nic. This book is the story of Faery Nic Stone and his mortal wife, Anna.

Nic went to Titania, Queen of the Fae, and asked her to grant immortality to his wife Anna. She agreed in exchange for him painting the portrait of her royal self. She never told Nic that Anna would have to die and be reborn.

After twenty-five years, Nic believed he had found his Anna. Her name was now Dianna Fielding and she was a famous pop singer. She was almost identical to her former self. He claimed a position as gardener on the estate Dianna and her sister, Stacy, lived. Dianna was his reincarnated love, he was positive, but Stacy was the one that drew him like a moth to a flame. To make things difficult, Dianna was engaged to someone else. Luring her away would be difficult, even with Stacy's help. Worse yet, Titania hung around causing mischief. Nic had to say "I love you" to the real Anna, or become Titania's slave ... forever!

***** If possible, this second romp in the magical Faery realm is even better than the first! The reader knows immediately who the real Anna is, but also understands how Nic can believe it is Dianna. The author added chaos by throwing mischievous Pixies into the mix. This gives the readers many humorous scenes that are as enchanting as the "Lost Love Found" plot. I cannot recommend this magical romance highly enough! *****

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique twist on reincarnation theme!, January 15, 2003

By	Huntress Reviews (United States) - See all my reviews

Nic Stone learns the hard way that you must be careful what you wish for, lest you get it. One of the Faery, he has fallen in love with a mortal, and is determined to love Anna for all time. However, when he asks the jealous queen, Titania to grant his love eternal life, he is not aware that the price is her life. She must die and be reborn, and her new incarnation will have no recollection of Nic. For them to be together forever, Nic must find Anna and win her heart all over again. If he fails, he will lose her for all time, and be Titania's slave.

When at last Nic believes he has found Anna (Diana), he is in a quandry. It is Diana's sister, Stacy, who is slowly winning his heart. Yet, despite this, he is determined to best the queen, and to have the woman he believes is his lost soul mate. Though it hurts, Stacy is equally determined to help, once she knows the truth. That does not change the love they feel for one another though. Is an eternity with one love worth the loss of a truer one?

***** With a unique twist on the reincarnation theme, Ms. Fox recreates the legend of Tam Lin, a mortal woman battling the queen of the Fair Folk for her lover's heart. You will truly feel both the lightness of the general story as well as the tragic circumstances that seem to be conspiring against the lovers' happiness. *****

5.0 out of 5 stars delightfully whimsical and amusing fantasy romance, January 18, 2003

By	Harriet Klausner - See all my reviews (#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Faery Nic Stone loves his mortal wife Anna so much so that he begs Fae Queen Titania to confer immortality on his beloved spouse. Titania consents to perform the deed if Nic paints her portrait. However, Titania plays a trick on Nic by not informing him at the time of the agreement that Anna had to die in order to be reborn an immortal.

Twenty-five years later, Nic thinks he finally located his Anna who uses the name Dianna Fielding, a renowned singer. Nic attains a gardening position on Dianna's estate where her sister Stacy also lives. Though Nic is certain that Dianna is his love, he finds himself attracted to Stacy. Nic must tell the real Anna "I love you" to the real Anna or become Titania's slave, the other stipulation in their deal.

CUPID'S MELODY, the sequel to the PRINCE OF CHARMING, is a delightfully whimsical and amusing fantasy romance. The story line will charm the audience especially when those wild pixies take center stage though they do distract from the prime plot. The strength of this tale resides with the characters. Readers will adore the endearing Nic as he faces a dilemma that could mean his existence and hiss at the mischievously devious Titania who always has one more trick up her sleeves. The two sisters are interesting as they cause readers to share with Nic his predicament. Karen Fox enchants her audience with this enjoyable reading happening.
