Enchanted Rogues

Mirage by Lynn LaFleur

Kaci Montgomery has inherited a fortune upon the death of her beloved grandmother; one that includes a necklace and mirror that have been in the family for centuries. Along with the treasured pieces is a note from her grandmother, telling her that she will find the man of her dreams on St. Patrick’s Day. When Kaci tries on the necklace and looks into the mirror, a man begins to appear and she panics. Was her grandmother right or is she just hallucinating?

Lynn LaFleur started the anthology off with a bang in Mirage. This story reinforces my belief that there is someone out there for everyone. It may just require a little magic to find them.

You’ve Got Irish Male by Titania Ladley

Mischa Roxbury sells sex toys through her internet store, Celtic Sins. When her computer announces she has a new message at midnight on St. Patrick’s Day, she becomes a little confused. Orders don’t normally come in this late at night and she’d just finished cleaning out her inbox. The email has a suggestive subject line and is from a Grady O’Donovan. Mischa decides to delete it, but before she can move the mouse, a voice – a very male voice emanating from the speakers! – begs her not to. Will Mischa listen? And what will happen if she does open up that email?

Titania Ladley had me hooked from the beginning with this original short story. You’ve Got Irish Male is packed with lots of humor, but that doesn’t distract from the creative, not to mention hot, sex scenes found within.

Must Be Magic by Lani Aames

Prince Myghal, ruler of Pixieland, has been imprisoned by the evil Faerie King, Norfe. According to law, if Myghal does not take a bride by the next Equinox, his kingdom will be forfeited to the Faeries, thus his current predicament. Using what little magical pixie dust his friend has provided him with, he alters the incantation and transports himself to his Heart Mate, a mortal woman. Myghal is now faced with the problem of convincing her of her place in life along with figuring out a way to get them both back to Pixieland before it is too late. Will he succeed or does Pixieland’s fate lie in the hands of the Faerie King?

Lani Aames has penned a new and refreshing twist on pixies and faeries by waging a war between the two. Must Be Magic is a definite must read and a fantastic way to round out this anthology.

Enchanted Rogues is a delightful anthology filled to the brim with mischief and mayhem, hot love scenes and romantic endings. And let’s not forget magic! The stories had me captivated, each and every one of them, and I found myself dreading the end of this book. Although it was centered around St. Patrick’s Day, this is one anthology that can be savored year round. Miss LaFleur, Miss Ladley and Miss Aames have all been added to my list of authors to keep an eye on.
