Jack is a
desperate man. He has searched high and
low for the woman with the mark of his mate.
Finally he has discovered her in Scotland
of all places, the place
where his kind originate from. With the
mating urge heavy upon him, he must gather enough control to seduce the
lively
Scottish waitress and be careful to not scare her away.
He has no more than a week to do accomplish this;
otherwise he will be trapped in his other form always.
Megan is a
single woman living on her waitress’ meager pay. Although
she’ll never be rich, she’s
content. In fact, she’s comfortable
enough to take a much-deserved holiday.
Two weeks to herself. At
least that
was the plan, until Jack Douglass found her and somehow convinced her
to show
him the sights.
Jack is in
near agony every moment spent with Megan, but it’s much worse when he’s
not
around her. Now that he has found his
marked mate and begun the binding process, he has regained his
appetite, but
he’s lost control of his transformation abilities.
He can shift at odd moments. He
must complete the binding before he is
unable to shift back to human form again.
Unfortunately for him, Megan isn’t the simpering
type. Jack will have to convince her that
being his
mate is far better than staying single.
Someone is
trying, not so subtly, to kill these two.
Jack has to keep Megan safe while he figures out who
wants to harm them
and why.
Believe in the Magic is a different flavor of
shape-shifting novel. Jack’s alternate
form was a surprise to me. Jack is a
sexy, unsure man who wants Megan so much, I felt bad for his wait. Megan is an independent, hard-working
woman. Her thoughts about Jack (and
Jack’s reaction to these eavesdropped thoughts) were surprisingly funny. Megan’s neighbor, Mrs. Timmons, is definitely
a treat; any scene with her is guaranteed to be laugh out loud funny. Well-written and engaging, Believe
in the Magic is a fun
romp through Ms. Miller’s paranormal world.
