Product Description

From the Author

My first true regency historical will be here soon!
I have three RITA awards for regency romance, and am in the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame for regency. I've even been given the Romantic Times Award for Regency Historical. Despite this, I consider this my first real regency historical romance.

The Earl of Saxonhurst is a handsome charmer with a dark secret and a need for a bride. Tomorrow. Meg Gillingham is a no-nonsense woman at her wit's end. If she doesn't do something, she and her four younger siblings will be out in the winter streets. Against her will, she uses an ancient, lewd, family treasure to ask for help. It comes in the form of an overwhelming stranger, an earl no less, offering everything she wants if she'll only marry him tomorrow.

Magic had provided a miracle, but magic always comes at a price. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I love romance, but most of the novels out now a days are trashy and are all about copulation. Forbidden Magic was well done, and actually had a story. It was a woderful mix of magic, love and passion. Meg is a charming character full of life and spunk from her naughty undergarments to her shy demur way. I found Sax to be a marvlous character, with his temper and his love for stray unwanted animals. He is quite eccentric and just what I would want in a husband. Mrs. Beverly did a fabulous job on this story and I throughly recomend it. This was the first book I've read writen by Mrs. Beverly and you can be sure that it will not be the last!

Oh, what a hero! 13 May 1999
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I love Sax. Sax, if you ever drop by my place, come have a chocolate chip ice cream on me!

Having said that, I want to ask Sax what on earth he sees in that heroine. This woman seems to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown all the time. She's always worrying, panicking, and always keeping every problems she face to herself, because she fears Sax will be harmed by the villian. Gee.

This is the second Beverley I've read (the other "My Lady Notorious") which has heroines who recklessly keep dangerous secrets to herself because she doesn't want to hurt the ones she love, et cetera, and in doing so, makes everything worse and more tortured reading on my part. If this is the trend of this author's heroines, I'll pass. Never can stand them martyr-type people.

Disappointing 17 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I give this book one star only because of the following few good points: (1) Sax is extremely handsome and falls head over heals for "plain" Meg; (2) Sax has a soft heart and loves his pet who has a deformed mouth and employs servants who have physical or other problems.

I can think of nothing more that is positive about this story. When the characters finally have sex (I can't construe it as making love), it is accompanied by ridiculously inane conversation. With about 40 pages to go, I cared so little for the characters that I put the book down, will never finish it, and have not the slightest curiosity regarding its ending.

For beautiful stories with well-developed plots and characters, read the author's _The Shattered Rose_, _Dark Champion_, and _Lord of Midnight_.

Too much exposition, too little romance
As a huge fan of Jo Beverley's, I was quite disappointed in Forbidden Magic. Beverley has a tendency of late to spend too much time in one character's POV (in this case, Meg's)... Read more

If you're looking for a quick read of fluff.....
The premise of this story, and the catalyst for what happens is the best part of the story. Be careful what you wish for, you might actually get it. Read more
