Touch of Magic

Depressed to her bone marrow because of her overwhelming feeling of loneliness compounded by the celebration of Samhain, witch Shana Morland decides to use a prohibited ancient cursed Tarot deck to see if there is a hunk in her near future. Shana assumes the violation is a minor offense as she considers how bad the curse can be without fully understanding the ramifications. Shana will learn rather quickly as the Tarot deck is actually a magical detention cell containing evil witch Moira; anyone who foolishly uses the deck will free her at the cost of their liberty. However, Moira's jailers understanding human nature, especially witching human nature, included a caveat that Moira's rescuer must be in love to switch places. Shana knows she is okay as she has no one. That is until Ryan Alden crashes his Harley right in front of her. She is stunned as she wants the unconscious stranger with feelings like nothing she ever felt before. However, if he is her true love as she suspects, Shan's price is the curse. This is an exhilarating one sitting paranormal romantic suspense novel. Readers assume from the moment out cold Ryan lays at Shana's feet, he is the one who will instigate the switch. The heroic lead couple is a delightful pairing of a seemingly doomed duet as they battle a more powerful foe. Moira disarms them by negatively using the power of love so she can live Shana's future while her savior occupies her incarceration time. Carin Rafferty imparts a compelling tale in which love is the curse. Harriet Klausner

This book is very good. It keeps you wondering from chapter to chapter what will happen next and you really don't expect it when it does. Everything comes together beautifully and it is exceedingly well written. A must for every bored housewife out there to add to her collection. It is an excellent book.

"The moment she met Ryan Alden, a handsome stranger, Shana Morland was torn between sacred love and its darkest power. She wanted him- but the source of this overwhelming attraction lay veiled in mystery. Ryan Alden had roared out of the unknown into Shana's life on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Was he the reckless drifter he seemed? Or was he a demon of desire from a past that he did not remember? This love could mean magic menace for Shana. But only the fates she had so recklessly tempted held the tantalizing answer."--from the back of the cover. This is one of those kind of books that you'll stay up reading until the last page. Can not put down. I recommend all of Carin Rafferty's books and if any of you know of any more that she has written, please e-mail me and let me know!!!

When I first got Touch of Magic from the library, at first I wasn't sure, but I am into stories on witches and warlocks and when I read Carin's book I had died and gone to heaven. I have rented it for the forth time and I said to my husband that I have got to have it in my own library. My husband can't understand why I can't put it down. I told him that he should read it to find out. If Carin is still writing keep up the great work. I will continue reading all of your books and read them over and over again. Thank you for the great reading material that you bring to us.

I love how Carin uses detail and how she words her material it is fabulous. I would read all of her books over and over again that is how much I really enjoy her work. It sure does make husband's jellous when you can't put a book down. I just can't find enough ways to thank her for the wonderful work that she has done to put a lot of joy into reading and to keep the emagination going and sometimes the spice in one's marriage. It does work.
