Wish List Wednesday: WITCH BALL

Ellora's Cave (Blush); Aug 2007

Book Description:

Their love was eternal. Until forbidden magic threatened to tear them apart forever.

When Nathaniel Swann and his daughter move to the small town of Lady's Cove, Maine, the last thing he expects is the beautiful woman who appears in his kitchen after he accidentally breaks a witch ball, a housewarming gift from his neighbor. A hardheaded scientist, he refuses to believe the woman's fantastic tale of magical spells, eternal love and reincarnation.

Released after being imprisoned for three hundred years in the witch ball, Miranda Hawthorne is reunited with the man she is destined to be with throughout time. Her joy is short-lived when she discovers that Nathaniel no longer remembers her or their love. How can she convince him to help her to break the witch ball's lingering spell before the bond between them is severed for all eternity?

And in the house next door the priestess responsible for the witch ball's spell plots to prevent them from discovering the secret that will set Miranda completely free.

Review: INTO HIS PRIVATE DOMAIN (The Men of Wolff Mountain, #1) by Janice Maynard

Harlequin Desire #2135

Book Blurb:

Alone in his fortress, Gareth Wolff hides from the world. Until Gracie Darlington scales his mountain and lands at his doorstep—with cuts, bruises...and amnesia. But the reclusive billionaire knows her type. She wants something from him. Something he's spent a lifetime trying to forget...

Gareth won't let the sexy interloper leave. Not until he learns her angle and sates his desire in her arms. Gareth always gets what he wants...but this time, once Gracie regains her memory, it may be too late. Because not only has she invaded his lair...she's invaded his heart.

oOoOoOo

A brooding reclusive billionaire and a damsel in distress...with amnesia?  I couldn't resist.  This was the kind of story where the whole "thing" could've been avoided if he'd just called 911 to begin with (she was a trespasser with a head injury!), but then what fun would that be?

A character with amnesia for 90% of the book, like Gracie, is tough, because I have to wonder if we're really seeing the "real" her.  It seemed to work for this book.  It was clear that Gareth was in a lot of pain, and Gracie had what it took to rescue him from his fortress of solitude.  I know I've said it before - I *lurve* those emotionally vulnerable, tortured alpha males, and Gareth is a prime example.  Did I mention that he's an artist too?  *swoon*

Though some of the story was far-fetched, INTO HIS PRIVATE DOMAIN was an enjoyable and very sexy read, and a solid start to The Men of Wolff Mountain series.
