Full Moon Magic
J. C. Wilder

Esmerelda Proctor, being the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter of a seventh daughter, had been delivered her great, great, grandmother's wedding dress, and was commanded by her father (who didn't like her very much) to fulfill her arranged marriage next Saturday. Because of her magical heritage, she had been imprisoned by her father for years with her eunuch guard, Shani, and a deaf woman named Ivy. To save herself from the arranged marriage, she finally took action, and conjured up a lover to break the betrothal. Through some magical spheres he'd given her years before, Ethan Hawke Montgomery, her betrothed had watched her for years, and now he watched her conjure up a lover. A powerful wizard himself, he knew just what to do to be the answer to her magical prayers. This is a very sweet fairy-tale-like romance. I was completely charmed by both Esme and her enchanting Hawke.

Half Moon Magick
Liddy Midnight

Black Isolde was scrying in a bowl and saw a man she thought of as the Green Man walking naked in the forest. Harmon, the man she watched, felt her power as she watched him. Mages both, they had dreamed of each other for years. But Isolde had visions of coming evil, and she did not know who to trust. Was the evil eminating from Harmon, who visited her in dreams, came in secret, winning the villagers with his priestly magic? Was it Kara, her young cousin and apprentice, who used magic in ways that fostered evil? Was it her uncle who had a secret agenda for his daughter Kara? Liddy Midnight's Half Moon Magick is a fantasy steeped in mages and magic, a fantasy setting good against evil. A good read for fans of Sworcery/Fantasy erotica.

Wishful Thinking
Elisa Adams

Worried about her grieving niece, Clara worked a little wishing spell on behalf of her niece Mia. Mia had been grieving for three years, and it was time to move on. When Jack Cullen had come to vacation at the lake, it was to cure his insomnia, to get away from his fast-paced hectic lifesyle. But when Mia's little daughter sensed his headaches, and Mia became a fever in his blood, he didn't know if he believed these women who thought they were witches were crazy or if it was time to start believing that maybe there was a little magic left in the world. Wishful thinking is full of magic and wishes and a kind of charming blessedness that will make you feel good just reading it. All that and spicy love scenes too! Elisa Adams's sweet magic does not disappoint.
