HIS MISSION WAS LIKE ANY OTHER...
Until Jak meets his new mark. Since his job as
an assassin for the Rebellion results in saving
the lives of hundreds of Englishmen, Jak has
never had a problem fulfilling his orders. But
then he meets Minerva Overon, and she has
such an unusual request that he soon finds
himself more involved with the woman than he
wants to admit.

BUT THIS WOMAN IS LIKE NO OTHER...
Because of her special magical gift, Minerva
knows that when Jak crawls through her
window, he is there to kill her. She is ready and
waiting for him, determined not to die a virgin.
But she harbors many secrets, and it takes Jak
several revelations before he figures out the
real truth.

Kathryne Kennedy titles being re-released

Enchanting the Lady   

by Kathryne Kennedy is the first in her intriguing 'Merlin's Relics' series and is being re-released in August.  The sequels, Double Enchantment and Enchanting the Beast will be re-released after that. Even better, there is a fourth book in the magical series (Everlasting Enchantment) that will be ready some time next year!  This is a fun series that combines Victorian England and its requisite strictures and aristocratic divisions with a world that has alluring shape-changers and magic users.  The series is tied together by various artifacts that each have aspects of magic imbued in them by the great wizard, Merlin himself.  A lot of imaginative elements are combined with sensual characters to provide an entertaining read.

The Lord of Illusion

The Lord of Illusion by Kathryne Kennedy is the third (and final?) book in her 'Elven Lords' trilogy.  It has all of the requisite elements of a fantasy story, the hero who is misunderstood, the damaged and oppressed heroine that he needs to rescue, a quest that will change the world as they know it, elves, dragons, fantastical castles, magic, evil villains, etc.  but somehow it isn't quite as gripping as Beneath the Thirteen Moons was for me.  I think that is is possible that there should have been as many books as there are scepters (7) and for some reason this just wasn't to be so a lot of facts and action is summarily squished into this volume so that the series became a trilogy for some reason.  Nonetheless, it is an entertaining and creative story and most of the major issues are resolved although personally, I would have liked to have gotten to know the dragons better, lol.  My Goodreads review is at this link.

I was fortunate to win a copy of this from the SOS Aloha blog (thank you!) and downloaded a copy from Netgalley (provided temporarily) in order to review it in a timely manner.
