Spell (August 2008)
To protect her mother's eccentricities from being known in a society
where social standing is the ultimate concern, Lady Jasmina Karlyle
casts a spell but her magical powers are much greater than she
imagined. Her spell is no illusion but a real person who looks exactly
like her! Her double cavorts all around Victorian London, stirring up
all sorts of trouble in her name. The numerous scandals are only the
beginning! The stunningly handsome baronet Sterling Thorn stares at her
in the most intimate way as if he knows her, and a little too
intimately in her opinion, although she finds herself drawn to him
despite her best attempts to block her growing attraction. Beautiful
and powerful both as man and a horse, the lowly baronet is exactly the
kind of man who will never gain her aristocratic father's approval. For
Lady Jasmina, marriage is not an option. She must protect and care for
her parents and her mother's little secret provides her with more than
enough adventures and danger trying to rectify wrongs and protect their
reputation. As Lady Jasmina tries to locate her missing double and
discover a missing jewel rumored to be one of the Relics of Merlin, her
duty pushes her right up against Sterling, a man charged with finding
the lost Relics of Merlin and keeping society safe from those forces
that would use these artifacts to evil ends. In a race against time,
who will find the relic first or can they find a means to work together
rather than at cross purposes? Working in close proximity, can they
deny the growing pull towards one another? How will the proper Jasmina
measure up to the sexy, provocative, and even scandalous Jaz, her
double, in the eyes of the baronet Sterling? Will Lady Jasmina be able
to step up for herself and her desires against the disapproval of her
family and society?
The second book in The Relics of Merlin series, Kathryne Kennedy's DOUBLE ENCHANTMENT combines humor
and emotion in an extraordinary tale of paranormal magic and adventure
in a heartwarming fairy tale romance set in the Victorian era in a
society governed by class codes built on magical standing as well as
economic resources. As the scandals and danger mount, Kathryne Kennedy
peers into the heart of her characters as they struggle to conduct
themselves with honor while remaining true to themselves. The magical
romance between Jasmina and Sterling steals the heart, page by page
with each moment and revelation until the final delightful page. DOUBLE ENCHANTMENT speaks to both
the little girl and the woman within ---- and brightens the mood with
smile after smile! Each and every detail is exquisite. With each page,
each revelation enchants the reader more and more until one realizes
one is totally submerged into the world of her characters. Just when I
thought I had reached the height of delight possible, Kathryne Kennedy
introduces two new characters. How I adored the gnomes!!!!
Kathryne Kennedy is quite simply one of the hottest new sensations in
the romance genre and DOUBLE
ENCHANTMENT is on my top ten list of books read this year. Her
particular blend of all that is best in romance will delight a wide
range of romance readers with its cross appeal across the breadth of
romance subgenres from paranormal to historical romance. From magical
details, to fairy tale-like psychological richness, from tender hearts
that enchant readers to humorous mischief and suspenseful fantasy
adventure in a historical, magical setting, Kathryne Kennedy creates a
unique exquisite flavor that makes her romance a pure delight page
after page, book after book. Light-hearted, sweet and tender, DOUBLE ENCHANTMENT has just the
right measure of suspenseful plot details and emotional richness to
make this romance unforgettable.
