"Patricia Rice is a master storyteller."
-Mary Jo Putney, New York Times bestselling author of Never Less than a Lady

Magic is her birthright...

The daughter of one of the strongest magical lineages, Ninian Malcom Siddons is a powerful witch. Determined to only use her magic for good, she lives a simple, solitary life as a healer in her village, where she meets Drogo.

A man of science doesn't believe in anything he can't see...

Lord Drogo Ives believes only logic and science can explain the wonders of the universe and doesn't believe the local folklore about Malcolm witches and Ives men, until he meets Ninian.

Despite the odds against them and their (many) differences, the bond between Drogo and Ninian grows stronger each moment they are together... until the chaos and danger surrounding them forces each to decide: their love... or their lives...

"You can always count on Patricia Rice for an entertaining story with just the right mix of romance, humor, and emotion."
-The Romantic Reader

Eh. Like most of her books, enjoyable but not a favorite. This is the first of a prequel series, describing how the Malcolms and the Ives first connected (or second connected, I guess, since there's quite a bit in here about the curse caused by the first marriage between a Malcolm and an Ives, many years before). Ninian Malcolm is a witch, and a healer, in her small village; she's not really trusted or accepted (especially because she grew up in the city and only came back to the village later), but she's useful to the villagers and has a few friends. Drogo Ives, an Earl, comes to live in the castle that's been owned, and ignored, by the Ives for - a century? More? - and runs into Ninian. The castle was abandoned after a disastrous marriage and a curse; Drogo doesn't know the history and doesn't believe in curses, and wants a bit of peace and quiet instead of running his whole family. Ninian's presence is not conducive to peace, though. Lots of threads - the stream killing all the plants, Drogo's harem (of cousins and sisters-in-law), Ninian's need to heal and to be needed, Drogo being pushed to marry, the castle's ghost, the falling tower... It was a good read, but the primary trope was my least favorite, misunderstanding. Both (all) sides kept explaining things, and the other side(s) kept hearing something other than what was meant. Overall, eh - glad I read it, doubt I'll bother to reread. I'm not even much interested in reading more in this series, I prefer the later Malcolms and Ives. Though I suspect I will read all of them, at some point. ( )

The Book: Merely Magic by Patricia Rice

The Particulars: Historical Fantasy Romance, Sourcebooks, available both in print and e-book

Why was it in my TBR? Because I wanted to something to cheer me up

The Review:

The blurb:
With exhilarating wit, sensuality, and emotion, bestselling author Patricia Rice offers an enchanting historical romance. When a magical young woman meets a dark aristocrat in a moonlit forest, neither dreams that a strange and powerful love is about to change their lives forever....

My impressions:

I picked this up a year ago, and fell in love. When I read that she had sold the series to Sourcebooks, I got really happy.
Drogo, Earl of Ives and Wystan is a scientist, that don’t believe in magic. Ninian Malcolm Siddons have grown up in Wystan. She accept that she is a witch. Both characters are strongwilled. And they are so different, but watching them carve out a life together was fascinating. There were moments in this book that made me smile. And other scenes made me cry. My heart went out to Ninian when she tried to get Drogo to believe. In her powers, and in his brothers. Despite the obstacles, they get their HEA.
I finished this book with a happy sigh. This is a heartwarming book, not as funny as some of the other books in the series. But oh so good.

Patricia Rice is one of the authors I turn to time and again when I want a book that will fill my heart with romantic sighs. I'm excited that this series has been rereleased so I can now read the ones I missed before I discovered her. Perfect for a snowy afternoon. ( )
