THE MAN OF HER DREAMS Lady Emma de Leon has just seen the man she knows will-nay, must-become her lover. Ambivalent as she is about her psychic gifts, she has been unable to forget the man who once came to her in a vision, touching her body with his strong hands and piercing her with desire. Now here he is, in the flesh-and Emma can't resist risking all for this dark-eyed stranger who's accused of murder. THE WIFE HE NEVER WANTED A mercenary by trade, Darian of Bruges finds himself in the center of a royal plot-and forced to marry Emma by the king's decree. Wed only to his freedom, the last thing he wants is a wife. But to confront his past and inherit his future, he must do what he finds hardest of all: surrender to a woman… TWILIGHT MAGIC

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

Shari Anton's next book in her Magic Trilogy is called, TWILIGHT MAGIC. TWILIGHT MAGIC is a beautiful story with the right combination of romance and adventure. Once you open up the pages of this book, you won't be able to close them. TWILIGHT MAGIC is captivating, compelling and sensual. It is one of the best among the historical romances I have read so far this year.

TWILIGHT MAGIC tells the spellbinding story of the romance between Lady Emma de Leon and mercenary Darian of Bruges. Emma has kept her visions a secret, but when she sees the man who is to be her lover, she can only try to save him and make her vision become a reality. Unfortunately, all this occurs in the King's palace, where Emma is treated as an outcast, and Darian is convicted of a murder. To save Darian's life, she uses herself as his alibi, and in turn ends up becoming married to him as the King decreed.

Darian isn't happy with the arrangement, and Emma didn't think saving him would mean that they must be wed. Agreeing that their marriage is a farce, they tend to seek out an annulment at first chance. However, both of their lives are in danger. Darian must find out who framed him for murder, which makes him a marked target, and Emma needs to reach her youngest sister to make sure of her well-being. Throughout their journey, Emma and Darian begin to develop feelings for each other that go deeper than either is comfortable with.

Shari Anton's TWILIGHT MAGIC moved me. The story is magical. I only wish I was able to have read the first book in the series, MIDNIGHT MAGIC. I fell in love with Emma and Darian. To tell the truth, I fell in love with the book itself.

TWILIGHT MAGIC is a book that beckons to be read more than once. It is a mesmerizing love story that took my breath away! This book is not to be missed!
