Doubably Enchanted with Double Enchantment

I loved Enchanting the Lady and couldn't wait for Double Enchantment to come out. It enchanted me as much as the first. I loved how Lady Jasmina double Jaz gets to do all the " wicked/fun" stuff like cavort with nymphs. I love Sir Sterling and and his were animal is sumptuous. What girl wouldn't fall in love with him... I also enjoyed how Nuisance and Trouble enhance a wonderful story and can add that tickle factor. And the little side romance of Aunt Ettie and Sir Artemus is a bonus that brings a warm smile. I just knew that marriage certificate would figure back in at some point. This story was absolutely wonderful but I don't want to give too much away. Double Enchantment is defiantly a must read and I can't wait for the next book.

Magical, sweet, enchanting paranormal romance set in Victorian England

To protect her mother's eccentricities from being known in a society where social standing is the ultimate concern, Lady Jasmina Karlyle casts a spell but her magical powers are much greater than she imagined. Her spell is no illusion but a real person who looks exactly like her! Her double cavorts all around Victorian London, stirring up all sorts of trouble in her name. The numerous scandals are only the beginning! The stunningly handsome baronet Sterling Thorn stares at her in the most intimate way as if he knows her, and a little too intimately in her opinion, although she finds herself drawn to him despite her best attempts to block her growing attraction. Beautiful and powerful both as man and a horse, the lowly baronet is exactly the kind of man who will never gain her aristocratic father's approval. For Lady Jasmina, marriage is not an option. She must protect and care for her parents and her mother's little secret provides her with more than enough adventures and danger trying to rectify wrongs and protect their reputation. As Lady Jasmina tries to locate her missing double and discover a missing jewel rumored to be one of the Relics of Merlin, her duty pushes her right up against Sterling, a man charged with finding the lost Relics of Merlin and keeping society safe from those forces that would use these artifacts to evil ends. In a race against time, who will find the relic first or can they find a means to work together rather than at cross purposes? Working in close proximity, can they deny the growing pull towards one another? How will the proper Jasmina measure up to the sexy, provocative, and even scandalous Jaz, her double, in the eyes of the baronet Sterling? Will Lady Jasmina be able to step up for herself and her desires against the disapproval of her family and society? The second book in The Relics of Merlin series, Kathryne Kennedy's DOUBLE ENCHANTMENT combines humor and emotion in an extraordinary tale of paranormal magic and adventure in a heartwarming fairy tale romance set in the Victorian era in a society governed by class codes built on magical standing as well as economic resources. As the scandals and danger mount, Kathryne Kennedy peers into the heart of her characters as they struggle to conduct themselves with honor while remaining true to themselves. The magical romance between Jasmina and Sterling steals the heart, page by page with each moment and revelation until the final delightful page. DOUBLE ENCHANTMENT speaks to both the little girl and the woman within ---- and brightens the mood with smile after smile! Each and every detail is exquisite. With each page, each revelation enchants the reader more and more until one realizes one is totally submerged into the world of her characters. Just when I thought I had reached the height of delight possible, Kathryne Kennedy introduces two new characters. How I adored the gnomes!!!! Kathryne Kennedy is quite simply one of the hottest new sen

Enchanting Review: Double Enchantment

THE RELICS OF MERLIN: DOUBLE ENCHANTMENT KATHRYNE KENNEDY Paranormal Romance Rating: 5 Enchantments Let's meet Lord Sterling a young man with the world on his shoulders. He has always been the outcast in his family never seeming to belong anywhere. Then tragedy strikes in the disappearance of his young sister and he must use all of his powers and resources to find her. Then the unexpected occurs he finds love in the most unusual of places. Let's meet Lady Jasmina a young girl that has always looked after her family and will do anything to protect them. One night she has to go as usual to clean up after her mother's mishaps and cast a spell that has the most unusual of results and her life is turned upside down. This is the story of two young people living in a world of magic in a Victorian setting. But with all the caste systems of our old world. The Barons like Lord Sterling at the bottom and Lady Jasmina in the middle. This is a tale of magic and betrayal, a story that will prove love is the most powerful of all magic. Sterling must find his missing sister and Jasmina must find the person that is impersonating her or is it just a part of the spell that went wrong? But first they must find out the truth before it is too late for them and the ones they love. For there is an evil that wants to take over the land and none will be safe. I really loved this story. I feel in love with the characters as their stories unfolded. The quandary that Sterling was in was hilarious and sad at the same time. And Jasmina's reaction to it was priceless. I love the way Ms Kennedy always keeps you guessing about what will happen next. And as usual she does not disappoint. Her characters are compelling and keep you glued to your seat and you do not want to put the story down. Her characters pull you into to a varied range of emotions. Ms Kennedy makes you love the ones you are supposed to and hate the ones that make you want to scratch their eyes out. I cannot wait for the next installment in the wonderful series of magic and mayhem and I hope it never ends. I recommend Ms Kennedy's works to all the lovers of Gothic and Victorian romance. You will not be disappointed. Kathryne Kennedy has been writing romances for a number of years.

Magical romance too good to miss!

I absolutely love this book! This is such a cute story about Lady Jasmina, a high-born magic user and Sterling, a lowly baronet who can shape-shift into a beautiful black stallion. It is a throughly fun story with great characters and full of pure heart! This is the second book in The Relics of Merlin series after Enchanting the Lady and I'm anxiously awaiting the next one in the series!

Double Enchantment is double the enjoyment

Courtesy of CK2S Kwips and Kritiques Lady Jasmina Karlyle has enough troubles already. Her mother, Lucy, has a tendency to "borrow" items from her fellow society matrons, which Jasmina has to return without being caught. If her mother's habit were known, their family reputation would be in ruins. Now, the latest borrowed treasure, Duchess of Hagersham's brooch turns out to be one of the Relics of Merlin! Suddenly, a minor spell has gone wry and Jasmina finds out she has released a twin of herself, Jaz, who has none of her morals. Sir Sterling Thorn is one of the shape shifting baronets charged by Prince Albert to hunt down and destroy all of the Relics of Merlin which can cause immense destruction in the wrong hands. Imagine his surprise when he meets the lovely Jaz at a ball, who reeks of Relic-magic and has made her attraction for Sterling quite obvious. Then when e meets up with her again later, she has no clue who he is and is scandalized by Sterling's attentions. Now Jasmina and Sterling are working together to find the Relic and track down Jasmina's wayward other half. Their responsibility is complicated by Sterling's drive to find his missing sister, Angel, believed dead by all in his family besides Sterling. Complications arise when Sterling's stallion self claims Jasmina as its mate and the wayward couple finds it harder to resist magnetic pull between them. Then there is the mysterious Brotherhood that appears to be connected to the missing Relic, Angel's disappearance, and a greater plot that could destroy London as they know it. Is it any wonder vexing gnomes Nuisance and Trouble are attracted to Jasmina's predicament? Kathryne Kennedy continues her magical Relics of Merlin series with Double Enchantment, our second visit to this fantasy London. Here, social status is determined by magical ability and the types of magic used. Once again, I found myself drawn into this beautiful world where nothing is as it seems and everywhere we turn we find more elaborate illusions. We also spent more time in the dark underworld or magic than in Enchanting the Lady, and we learn all manner of details about the seedy underbelly of magical London. Sterling is on a mission. His number one priority is finding his missing sister whom he is convinced is still alive somewhere. He's none too thrilled about being tasked by Prince Albert to help Jasmina until he is promised whatever he needs to continue the search for Angel. When Sterling sees his Jaz and recognizes her as the beautiful young woman he married the night before, his protestations cease. He is intrigued by Jasmina, especially when she behaves so differently, so coldly, compared to the day before. While he starts out being wildly attracted to "evil" twin Jaz, the more he gets to know the far more subdued and moral Jasmina, the more he finds himself drawn to her until he realizes she is truly the woman meant for him. Jasmina has always been the proper young miss, resigned to a life without m
