In Moonlight is an anthology of three tales of witchcraft, wizardry, love and magic.

Full Moon Magic-by author J C Wilder: The tale of bumbling witch Esmerelda Proctor who was betrothed at an early age to Ethan Hawk Montgomery by her greedy controlling father. As she came of age her father locked her away until the time for the marriage to take place. Now as the deadline draws near, Esmerelda decides that she wants her first lover to be of her choice and goes about creating him with a spell. Her betrothed Hawk, who has been secretly watching her throughout the years, sees her ill fated attempt and takes the place of her created lover to make her his own.

Half Moon Magick-by Liddy Midnight: Black Isolde has been training young girls, along with her Uncle Cedd's willful and mischievous daughter, in household duties, embroidery and simple magic. Her cousin Kara; however, is much more interested in the magic and power to be gotten both good and bad. This interest is what has attracted Harmon to the village, for he has made it his business to stop budding young people from crossing to the dark side of magic, all the while staying one step ahead of those who would encourage him to accept his own dark side. A task which seemed hopeless until he began to blend magic with the beautiful woman from his dreams, none other than Isolde. Together will they have the strength to save them all?

Wishful Thinking-by Elisa Adams: Mia, a divorcee, and her young daughter Frances moved to Aunt Clara's bed and breakfast on a peaceful Bennett Island. She says that having Frances is enough love in her life, but Aunt Clara thinks maybe fate needs a little help to bring Mia happiness. Jack Cullen is a workaholic lawyer, only coming to Bennett Island for rest under a doctor's orders. The last thing he was expecting was a family of witches.Aunt Clara, though kooky, and young, smart as a whip Frances each have their charm, it is in Mia that Jack sees something entirely different. And even as her headache potions seem to ease his migraines he has begun to ache elsewhere and only Mia herself is the cure.

Three different stories from three talented authors that combine to create one pleasure of a read. There is something for everyone here in these short and well-written tales of magic and hope, and of love and desire. All three stories have strong, interesting characters with well plotted story lines. The love scenes in all the tales are sexy and flowing. In Moonlight shows how an anthology should be done.
