Love is the only true magic -- very highly recommended

Irish castle folk and English soldiers inhabit GleannTaise Castle once Fionna O'Donnel. English knight Raymond DeClare doesn't know the castle and his king awards him is cursed. It had been a magnificent castle in its day. Now it must be quickly mended before they all freeze to death this winter. To please his king he must also marry an Irish lass. Before his people starve on the land, Raymond must learn that the O'Donnels cursed the land and only magick can lift winter's spell and bring it back to life.The witch Fionna believes the English only want to rule or slaughter. She is also long accustomed to rejection. Ten years ago her father beat her and banished her from home. If she wishes to forget what happened, the scars on her back serve a perpetual reminder. Now her daughter lives with friends, and she visits only in secret. Despite her banishment, Fionna protects the sacred circle, the fairies, and all else that is sacred. Fionna descends from the ancient ones who tended the earth, their blood running strongly in her veins.Fionna wants to hate Raymond, blame him for all the atrocities reaped on Ireland. Yet she healed Raymond once, then clouded him mind with herbs so he would forget her. When she sees him again, his horse bears down on three children in the road. Using magic, she pushes the children from harm and causes the stallion to stop -- unintentionally throwing the rider. He refuses her help, blaming her for the accident. When her hood falls aside, her beauty bewitches him. Raymond's soul screams recognition, but he knows not why. Then in a moment he remembers that she once saved his life. She reminds him what he must know, that she is a witch. All the while Raymond denies the power of incantations and spells, refusing the truth. Indeed, the law dictates that he takes her life if she persists in her claim. As he looks at her with rage and disgust, Fionna walks away. Like the villagers, Raymond makes her feel shunned and rejected. He vows she'll never know that she's the reason he left Ireland six years ago. Nor admit her eyes have haunted him all this time. And neither can deny the connection that burns between them.Amy J. Fetzer writes with knowledge and respect for the old ways, understanding elements, fairies, and those who call themselves witches. With a creative flair for storytelling, she weaves an extraordinary tale of magick and love, creating an absolutely memorable tale novel. Her secondary characters, especially the fairie, are absolutely delightful! THE IRISH ENCHANRESS held me spell bound, beginning to end! Very highly recommended.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cheer!

Amy J. Fetzer's done it again. She's crafted a fast paced, exciting, yet touching story that left me hoping her next book comes out soon!Willa Peachwood and Raiden Montegomery are wonderful characters, each with their own strengths and weaknesses and together they're simply unbeatable. Willa's love for her son and Raiden's hunger for the tenderness he's never known will bring a tear to your eye and a sigh to your heart. Their adventurous path to love takes them from Calcutta, India to the Spice Islands with the most endearing bunch of pirates ever to sail the seas. At a breakneck pace, the author delivers adventure, plenty of swash and buckle and a love story that will leave you completely satisfied.Ms. Fetzer never disappoints, but this time I think she's outdone herself. An excellent read from a very talented author.
