"A Spicy Hot Duo"
LOVE MAGIC is an anthology containing two novella-
length romantica stories by Ann Jacobs. ILLUSIONS Drake Conover is a sexy, handsome, and very popular
magician. Erienne Duval is the CIA agent assigned to
investigate him. The government suspects that Conover, or
one of the people who assists him with his national and
international shows, is guilty of delivering information to
foreign nations. Erienne is told to do whatever is
necessary to find out who the traitor is, even if it means
breaking Conover's heart -- and her own. ILLUSIONS starts off at a boil and never slows. Drake and
Erienne are sexually explosive together, but they are also
good for each other as people. The secrets that keep them
apart -- and the danger that threatens both their lives --
push the book along at a rollicking pace but never
overshadow the graphic sexual scenes that fill the novella.
Hot, hot, hot, ILLUSIONS gives the reader a taste of
everything -- romance, suspense, mind-melting sex, and an
emotionally satisfying ending that will leave anyone
sighing in contentment. COMMITMENT Gaelen Reston and Brent d'Angelo have been having an affair
for five years -- and though their encounters just get
hotter and hotter, Gaelen still resists making any
commitment to her lover. Brent, a homegrown family man, has
finally decided to do something about it -- he challenges
her to spend two weeks in his company. In his apartment.
His goal is to get her to marry him, but can Gaelen
overcome the painful memories of her past to make a real
commitment? There is an advantage, in a novella-length story, to
starting with a couple in an already established
relationship. There is no need to bother with maidenly
virtue, sudden attractions, or love at first sight. By the
time COMMITMENT starts, Gaelen and Brent are already
strongly attached to each other. Their sexual relationship
has developed to the point where they are truly comfortable
with each other and themselves, leaving the author room to
explore the natural sensual enjoyment that the characters
take in each other. Ms Jacobs uses this opportunity to
explore real, deep-seated fears that many women feel,
breathing life into the story. That isn't to say that
COMMITMENT isn't hot. To the contrary, the dedication that
Brent feels toward his goal, and the love that the
characters share make the sexual scenes all the hotter. Sensuality Level: Rated NC17 by the publisher.
