Customer Reviews

Regency romance at its best!

Nadine Miller has done it again! This is regency writing at its best! Very few other writers are as meticulous in their research as Nadine and this novel is an example of that attention to detail. The Exmoors of Great Britain are usually ignored in literature, and the Exmoor Pony, an equine left over from the Ice Age and today rarer than the Giant Panda, is almost unknown. The land, the people, and the ponies have always been shrouded in mystery and with "A Touch of Magic" Nadine has captured the wonder of a people and a place largely ignored by writers. Romance, ponies and magic! Wow! This book has to be a winner.

A rich and satisfying story.

Lord Adam, the second son of a duke sets out to lose himself on the western moores, and at the same time do a good turn for the widow Haines. However, he finds this freedom from the stifling London society adds richness to his life, and a new level self-worth he never enjoyed as an aristocrat. Not since Adam fought in the Peninsular war has he faced such a challenge as winning the flame-haired widow who enchants him with her simple, hard-working life and bent toward practicality. Though he must deceive her to remain in her presence, it's on her farm he discovers love, and a sense of values that being a highborn Londoner could never teach him: Everlasting love and a belief in its magic. A Touch of Magic is a beautiful love story, a great read.Nadine's skill as a Regency author just gets better and better. I can't wait for her next one, and the next...and the next. -Lee Emory
