5.0 out of 5 stars A throughly enjoyable read,funny, witty,a great story. 13 Feb 2001
By aiobeal
Format:Mass Market Paperback
A fiesty colonial heiress who needs a husband, and fast, meets an overbearing, aggravating duke, who due to an old curse has vowed never to marry,decides to make her his mistress instead.Well Phobe Rafferty determines to change his mind, one way or another, and no silly old curse is going to stop her. Stephen Lambert is equally determined to make her his mistress,and as trouble seems to find Phoebe, he finds his normally ordered life turned upside down.As soon as I started to read this book it brought to mind Amanda Quick,in places the dialogue will have you laughing,in others sighing as both characters struggle with their fealings. This is the first book I have read by this author and I will be looking out for more in the future, with this kind of standard I will be adding her to my list of favorite authors.Read and enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars CHARMING, INDEED ! 26 Mar 2000
By G.C. Larkin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
What a wonderful read, Waide has equaled if not surpassed her first book. Stephen and Pheobe are a very alluring, dynamic couple and the author has introduced us to a superb secondary cast of characters. Her villians evoke strong emotions and you certainly feel very satisfied when "they get theirs". Sensual but tasteful our couple are very driven and their attraction evident throughout this intriguing story. Definitely a one sitting read that I highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars I liked it 20 Jan 2002
By Thea - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
American Phoebe Rafferty came to England to find a
husband. She needs to marry in six weeks or she won't
inherit Marsden Manor, an ancestral home she's only
seen in a painting. Within a week, and only after
one meeting, she's found her man: Stephen Lambert,
Duke of Badrick. He's exciting, attractive and his
kisses make her feel things she's never felt before.

The moment Stephen see Phoebe, he wants her as his
mistress. Generations ago, the Badrick family line
was cursed by a Gypsy woman and they are doomed to
unhappy, short-lived marriages. Stephen has lost
two wives already and he's determined to never marry
again. He will give Phoebe pleasure, jewels, a home;
anything she desires, except love and marriage.

POTENT CHARMS is made unique by having the Gypsy
curse be a point of conflict. It's a first for me,
and I loved it. Smaller conflicts get resolved,
until all that is remaining between Phoebe and Stephen
is this curse. The characters are very believable.
It doesn't matter if you or I believe in curses,
Stephen does, and Ms. Waide has portrayed this
exceedingly well.

I read POTENT CHARMS in one sitting. It has a nice,
even pace to it. The sparks that fly between Phoebe
and Stephen are sexy, as are Stephen's displays of
jealousy. I found myself looking forward to both.
There are some historical tidbits throughout the book,
but I never felt as if I were being taught a history
lesson. Ms. Waide has written a wonderful romance
reminding us that words do have power, inviting us to
believe that maybe, "I love you" are the most powerful
words of all.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a hoot! 25 Oct 2000
By Alexi - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This was great fun! I finished this book in two days. Poor Stephen, a man with only one thing on his mind. But the heroine was too great challenge for him. I really enjoyed the other characters too. Can't wait for the next one.
