Magic Touch by Luna Joya is a really awesome story that I have read. This is book number two in this awesome series that I have loved reading and can not wait to read more from this awesome author. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about magic and paranormal romances.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
It took me some time to get in the book, but after a few chapters it really started to get interested. It’s a nice read with about 300 pages. It’s well written with several storylines. But to be honest I didn’t think it would end unfinished and need to read the next book to see what is going to happen.
So it’s a great read, but beware you don’t get the closure you so wanted to get
I really loved this book! Delia and Mark are great characters and I definitely want to read more about them! This is the first book I have read by this author but I am definitely going to be reading more!

Magic touch by Luna Joya.
This is book 2 of the legacy series.
Really good read. Magic romance and action. I loved Mark and Delia characters. Great story. 4*.
Witch Delia Donovan feels she has everything under control – she has kept her family’s magical secrets hidden and reigned in her powers all she has to do is stay in control when she joins a clandestine FBI task force to solve a cold case murder. But she’s met her match when she has to try to ignore the intense sexual chemistry she has to the cocky jerk who leads her security detail. The last thing FBI agent Mark Cavan on the team he is assigned to is a supernatural lawyer Barbie who traipses through crime scenes in designer clothes and stilettos. But the job needs a magical asset with a particular skill and Delia fits the role perfectly. He just needs to ignore his growing attraction to the infuriating woman – surely an ex-marine can do that no problem? It’s not long before Mark learns there’s more to Delia than meets the eye—and Delia realizes that falling for Mark would be the easiest—and most complicated—thing she’s ever done. But they’ll need to put their feelings on the back burner if they want to catch the murderer…before they become the next victims.
Oh wow – just wow. The electricity between these two was off the chart and that did not detract at all from the complicated murder mystery that they start to investigate. There were so much drama and danger mixed into the undeniable pull that was there between the two of them it became a highly addictive story. I couldn’t put it down and ignored everyone and everything in order to find out what was happening next. There were times in the story when I was broken-hearted for them and times when I was overjoyed. Well written and very easy to understand and feel. Contains some sexual content.
3.5 Stars
The story line and character work were good. The book had a fairly smooth flow to it. I was entertained from beginning to end.

The magic touch was a great a paranormal romance spike the characters or funny and interesting and the situation was very unusual. It was a quick read and I look forward to reading more books by this author especially in this series.
This second book in The Legacy Series by Luna Joya posed a unique set of problems for the four sister witches and their “friends”. First, join some mystery taskforce and solve two, not one, decades-old mysteries. Second, avoid some powerful magical group called The Revelare that wanted to kill one of them unless she voluntarily joined them. Third, don’t fall in love with a non-legacy as it is against Senate rules and witch laws to dilute the genetic line with impure people. And, fourth, do all this without revealing your magical witch powers to the world in general. Simple, right? Of course, it wasn’t at all. The developing romantic part of the story put the characters through some very high and hot times to some very depressingly low ones as Delia and Mark try NOT to like let alone love one another. The other items on the to-do list keep the story moving along at a nice pace with action and suspense combined with re-actions. I am so looking forward to reading the next book in this series when the author finally releases it. This is a voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Hidden Gems Books.
This is the second book in this series, but the focus is on another sister not on the same one as in the first one. While it did take a little bit to get invested in the book, once I did, it was a wild ride until the end. Delia, or Duchess, is an interesting character who can’t have people touch her or she sees too much. I love her family, and there were some interesting reveals about the magic world that wasn’t revealed in the first book. I enjoyed the romance between the two characters, and even Mark’s ego didn’t get in the way of my enjoyment. I did like this book, and if you like paranormal romance, give this one a try. You don’t need to have read the first one, but it would help if you did. Recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.
Really loved book 2 of Legacy. This action packed magical thriller kept me up reading all night, I just couldn’t put it down. Delia and Mark’s story was both funny and an edge of the seat page turner. Two sisters with elemental powers go up against an unknown force while working for a secret FBI team. I loved the whole team and how each member interacts with each other. I cannot wait to read what happens next.
I received a free copy of this book to give a fair and honest review. This is the first book I have read by Luna Joya and I have found a new author to enjoy. This is the second book in The Legacy series and it was a great read. I will be reading the first in the series and all of the rest of her books. I would recommend this book to any and all magic lovers. RB
I was so lucky to score an ARC of this baby!
In a stellar follow-up to Tides of Time, Magic Touch stars Donvan sister Delia, a brilliant attorney, and Mark, a sexy and deliciously cocky FBI agent. The chemistry between Delia and Mark is scintillating and impossible to resist as they combine her magical powers with the joined forces of their professional expertise to solve a cold case and stop the sinister machinations of a dark magical plot–all while fighting growing feelings for each other. Talk about off-the-charts tension. Resistance ultimately gives way to a rich and profound emotional connection as they discover softer sides in each other, giving their attraction depth.
Every element of this story sticks the landing, from the hate-to-love sparks of desire to the snappy banter, all wrapped in a supremely satisfying plot that both underscores and complements the romance while keeping the reader invested and guessing as captivating mysteries unfold. Plenty of action moves the story forward at a fast clip, and the ending strikes a graceful balance between emotionally fulfillment and a tantalizing hook to leave the reader hungry for Book 3.
Huge thanks to the author and publisher for providing an advanced copy!
Using magic has a price
Delia Donovan is a district attorney. She joins a secret task force headed by Boss A13. What does a mysterious task force want with a psychometric air witch who doesn’t know how to use her powers?
Delia just cannot let her sister, Mina, join a group that wants to use her telepathic, time-travel skills. Delia is concerned; she doesn’t know the purpose of the group.
Mark Cavan, an ex-Marine, has been recruited to be part of the security detail and a bodyguard for Delia and Mina. How will Mark fight his attraction for Delia; no one can touch her!
There are lots of other characters with unique skills; more will join them along the way. Read about this diverse group trying to avoid the Revelare, the bad guys who will kill you if you won’t join them when they ask you.
This tale is an exciting book that catches your attention from the beginning.
I want to read more about these Elemental witches, voodoo priestesses, sirens, and familiars.
I read this as a free ARC.
I read Magic Touch without reading the first book in the Legacy series because I’d heard it could be a standalone and I was excited to get my hands on this one. Old Hollywood mysteries. Witches. A Marine with a mysterious past. Yes, please!
I really enjoyed this book. The Donovan sisters are each intriguing in their own right, and I’m excited to read each of their stories now. Delia and Mark were both such injured and guarded, but ultimately, loveable, characters. I loved the alternating POV’s, and the flashbacks to 1940’s Hollywood, as the mystery unraveled. And I LOVED double P! A lot of questions were answered, but I’m going to have to grab the next book to find out what happens next as the saga of the Legacies continues to unfold.
Luna Joya’s writing was crisp and detailed, and I’m looking forward to reading more of her work.
“Magic Touch” is book 2 of the Legacy Series by Luna Joya. I tend to hesitate with new paranormal stories, as some have such overkill in world building that I have to constantly re-read parts to figure out what is actually supposed to be happening. That is not the case here! I found this book to be an enjoyable multi-layered and very well written paranormal romance.
Delia Donovan is a prosecuting attorney born an elemental witch. She is fiercely protective of her family and for the most part tries to keep her powers in check by not using them.
Mark Cavan ex-military turned FBI agent agrees to sign on to a task force attempting to solve a decades old cold case. Little does he know he is about to be exposed to a world he didn’t know existed.
These two are both strong minded take-the-lead types that are not thrilled to be working together. They have that your sexy but annoy the hell out of me vibe going from their first meeting. I enjoyed the baiting banter that went on between them as they learned about each other and grew closer.
This book has a nice balance of action, intrigue, mystery, magic, suspense and of course romance. These components all tie together well, while being laced with some interesting plot twists. Rounding out the story are interesting secondary characters and family members.
If you enjoy paranormal stories that are more relatable instead of fantastical, then this book is definitely for you. I for one will be going back to read “Tides of Time”, which is the first book in The Legacy Series.
I received an ARC via Hidden Gems Books and this is my honest review.
I just loved this book so much. Delia and Mark are AMAZING together. Their chemistry is off the charts. I love it when two very stubborn, smart, and tough people clash and fight but ultimately learn to respect and LOVE each other. Also the sex is HOT.
The world-building and the magic are fascinating. I love Delia’s elemental power AND learning about Mark’s connection to her world and its history. The team is great. All of the and I can’t wait to see how their stories end-up and how they assist the sisters, who I LOVE as a family. Their loyalty to each other and the strength of their bonds, just make everything even better. Watching all Delia would do for Mina and how Ruby can kick-ass in style, it’s all just wonderful.
Also, Perry is the best conflict, sexy villain ever. Seriously. And I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book and how everyone’s histories are connected even deeper. The world has so many layers and I want to read and learn them all. However, this book was just so fun and wonderful. Totally recommended.
