Summary

An Explosive Attraction....

Lady Leila Staines has always felt like an outcast among her magically gifted sisters. Desperate to discover her own talent, she seeks out Dunstan Ives, a dark and brooding aristocrat with a scientific bent who may hold the key to unleashing Leila's hidden powers.

Can Create a Spark That's Pure Magic....

Dunstan has shunned the decadent society that wrongfully condemned him of murder, and he's vowed never again to succumb to the spell of a beautiful woman. But the bewitching Lady Leila makes him a proposal no man in his position can resist.

Critic reviews

"With Ms. Rice's skill for mixing humor, emotional intensity, and sensuality with a touch of the supernatural, Must Be Magic is a highly recommended read and a 'keeper.'" (RT Book Reviews)

Not Great!

Absolutely superb writing. I cannot fault it at all. Patricia Rice showcases the narrative beautifully.

However, all that was overshadowed by how boring the story was. There wasn't enough dialogue, and the little there was was mostly boring. The narrative was relentless, most of which was ramblings and repetitions. The characters were many, confusing, and uninspiring. The story dragged, but there were a few snatched scenes/moments of interest.

This is the first novel I have ever listened to or read where the male lead comes across as a loser, and not very bright.

Greg Wagland is usually a good narrator, but, not sure what it was, but even he didn't impact this novel in any way.

To be honest, I zoned out a few times, particularly towards the end, and I couldn't wait for the story to end.

Not great!

I'll listen to another novel by Patricia Rice; I just hope it will be something more engaging.
