Master of Mistmere

Almost a thousand years ago, Lilias, a witch, cursed the first Lord Easton because he would not succumb to her charms. Generations of the family have struggled financially because of Garret’s deep loyalty to his beautiful wife. Legends say the curse may be lifted, but the conditions seem impossible to meet…

Tessa and Joanna are firm friends; they have come across to the UK on an antique buying jaunt for their shop back in the US. They share each other’s highs and lows as they seek out boyfriends for dalliances or as future husband material. Tessa is keen on adventure and has planned some sightseeing tours around their purchasing. Joanna has been having recurring dreams for some time and is weary from her restless nights and still feeling the effects of jet lag. Their trip to Mistmere Manor is an overwhelming event for Joanna. When she is introduced to Garret, the Lord of Mistmere, she experiences an uncanny déjà vu sensation. Her body’s responses to this tall, stunningly handsome man are instant. The intensity of her attraction to this previously unknown man is overpowering. She has no explanations for why he feels strangely familiar, almost like she has found a missing piece of her heart.

Garret immediately notices the tall and slender red haired Joanna in the tour group. He is taken aback because he feels that he already knows her, but they have never met before. He cannot take his eyes off her, and is becoming unmistakably aroused in her presence. No woman has affected him in this manner before; it is eerily disturbing, yet he feels both comforted by her and protective of her. As he tells the group of the Mistmere legend and curse, Joanna does not laugh it off. Somehow, for her, it is all horrifically true…

As they are drawn to each other, Garret and Joanna leave readers in no doubt as to why their love has transcended the barriers of time. The full scope of their shared passion is played out in many different erotic arenas. The skill and stamina of a lover such as Garret are well worth waiting one thousand years for. Garret will need to use every fibre of his muscled physique if he is to meet the challenges of one of the many clauses to counteract the curse and remain with his true love. His task will have readers on the edge of their seats, hoping the pair can remain together, whilst secretly longing for a Garret of their own. Fiona Neal never fails to satisfy her readers, she has quite an impressive backlist. My one complaint was that Master of Mistmere left me wishing it was longer and I would’ve loved more insight into Joanna’s recurring dreams. Master of Mistmere is recommended as a sweet erotic bedtime treat!
