Jill Barnett writes intoxicating historical romances!
I found the first few chapters slow. Once the couple meets it gets better. I loved the descriptions of Joy’s smile. Lots of ups and downs, but the ending before the epilogue made it worthwhile!
Such fun! I love a good witty paranormal and this one had me laughing out loud. A half-witch, who can’t control her magic and a very uptight Duke create a perfect opposites attract story…with just the right amount of steamy scenes. Not to say it was all fun and games. There’s a very scary scenario in which both the hero and heroine could easily …
I downloaded this novel months ago and never read it. I finally took the time to read it and loved it so much. It was not the usual historical romance novel. Joyous, or Joy, is from a line of Scottish witches that do not have strong magic. They are known for causing mishaps than actually witchcraft. Joy’s aunt, a powerful Scottish witch from …
OMGOODNESS, I don’t think I laughed so hard with reading a Historical Romance Novel since reading a book by Lauren Royal.
Albeit, I did find the Book had a little bit of to much Narrative in it. Otherwise the Story was Absolutely Wonderful.
Joyous Fiona MacQuarrie a Scottish Witch & Alec Gerald David John James Mark Castlemaine, who is sure to …
Bewitching is a phenomenal paranormal/historical romance by Jill Barnett. Ms. Barnett has provided readers with a well-written book loaded with outstanding characters. Joyous MacQuarrie is a witch. But her magic doesn’t always turn out the way it should. Alec Castlemaine, Duke of Belmore is rigid and a bit of a stick in the mud. Joyous and …
What a great read! I absolutely love this amazing story full of passion, humour , heartache, and magic _ of course!
Truly a great read with all the magic of love and life I love in a book. Can’t wait to read more by Jill Barnett.
A cute story with a different twist.
I admit the book had me intrigued by the cover and title alone. As someone who enjoys the idea of magic and the mystical, I was captivated.
As I began to read I immediately fell in love with our heroine Joyous. She is sweet, innocence, full of hope and joy. Plus she is less than perfect and the innocent mistakes she makes while welding her magic …
fun idea, it was a little repetive and could have been shorter, but still had to read to the end.
Too silly really. I’ve seen I MARRIED A WITCH, and this is not that.
Wonderful book full of surprises that is definitely different, and you don’t want to put it down till your done.
Loved it! Great characters. I actually laughed out loud in a few places. Highly recommend.
It was such a heartwarming book.
I loved how whimsical this story was as well as the characters and how they interacted.
I loved this book. Couldn’t put it down.
While the author did a brilliant job of creating laugh out loud funny situations, there were long stretches of pretty mundane reading between the parts I found entertaining. I loved the funny scenes created by the inept use of magic and I am sure explaining magic to mere mortals presents challenges, but found myself struggling to understand the …
Really enjoyed this angle with her having witch powers. An entertaining change from normal love stories.
Good story
