Magic doesn’t exist. I used to believe, but it was the wistful imagining of a child.When the Duke of Denforth makes me his duchess, he shows me wonders beyond any fantasy. Instead of one husband, I’m blessed with three – the duke, and my guardians, Moses and Liam. Our scandalous passion cannot be denied as magic heats between us.When I’m taken from my husbands, I must learn to embrace the power … embrace the power inside me. It terrifies me, but too much is at stake to give in to my fear.
***
Our lives are measured in centuries instead of years.
Lily Archer’s magic is familiar and alien all at once. She’s much more than she seems, and we can’t wait to explore her secrets. She offers power beyond imagining, yet it’s nothing compared to the joy she brings to our lives.
She even manages to charm a dragon.
But there are those who would use our wife for their own ends and steal her from us.
I am Myrddin, and we will topple a kingdom to get her back.

I already loved Raisa Greywood’s kinky side,and finding out she’s combined that with magic,made me very happy.
Finding those stories on Apple Books was such a pleasant surprise,and i immediately bought both published books and pre-ordered the third.
Having finished Wicked Truth,i can safely say it’s money well spent!
Lily is in a tough spot after a trespasser fled her home through her window.
The village speaks ill of her ever after,and her mother’s decided to marry her off to a man she despises.
She doesn’t see a way out,until Myrddin,Duke of Denforth rescues her by marrying her.
But it isn’t just him she’s tied to,it’s his companions Moses and Liam as well….
Oh well,it’s not like she had a good name to begin with….right?
Finding out there’s more to these men is a surprise,but finding out there’s more to herself is….shocking.
Because it means her father had secrets he never shared with her.
If only they knew the entire story….
But someone else does,and he’s going to take from her what she doesn’t even know she has.
Helped by Morgaine,the dark sidh king Teran has her snatched her from her new home,and plans to do whatever it takes to get it from her…..even torture her!
Her men are desperately searching for her,aided by the light king Omer and the dragon on Myrddin’s back.
Can they find her in time,will she be able to survive until they arrive?
Or will she have to free herself…..
This was a rollercoaster ride that held me hostage from page one.
That made me laugh cry,curse and at times want to reach in and strangle “certain people”
In short,it was a story i enjoyed very much!
I tbroughly enjoyed reading this book and enjoyed the chemistry between lily and her men
. I can not wait to read book 3 in this series and recommend this book.to.people
This is the second book in the Wicked Magic series and it is filled with magical creatures. The storyline is fun, even if I thought the heroine was way too quick to accept things in her new life married to the Duke of Denforth. I mean, it stretches imagination a bit to think a gentlewoman of the Regency era would so quickly accept the idea of having 3 “husbands” for the price of one with all the assorted variations of pairings that would bring, not to mention all the magical creatures she is confronted with within the first few chapters. So, for me, there was a lot of willing suspension of disbelief. That said, however, the writer is actually quite good and weaving her stories and keeping the reader interested. While this isn’t my personal favorite genre, I did enjoy the book quite a bit and am looking forward to the next installment. I happily recommend this book for anyone wanting a romp into fantasy.
I don’t think this one needs much of a trigger warning. While there are some torture scenes that are quite rough, there were no non-con or dub-con scenes in this book.
This was a very enjoyable read. The story is engaging and quickly pulls you in and makes you want to stay. The characters are interesting, share a powerful connection and have sizzling chemistry. Drama, magic, emotions, mystery, passion and danger combine to make a very entertaining book.
The second book and I enjoyed this book as the first one. There is even more magic in this book and even a dragon.
Lily is just a feisty as Elizabeth in the first book. What I loved with Lily was how she rolled with things and she was so brave and full of love.
Loved her relationship with the guys and seeing their interaction and love with each other. It was also very sexy.
We met some of these characters in book 1 (Wicked Deception), and Lily gets her story in book 2. This was more of a reverse harem romance, in a world of dukes and duchess, with some magic mixed in to the story line. This book was easier to pick up the plot after reading WD, and I thought it was a good read. Again, not too dark, but with a scandalous connection between Lily and her men, they had a lot to overcome. There was good chemistry, not too heavy on the sex scenes, but the sparks were there.
I thought it was great! Had a different mixture to it so it made it more interesting. Can’t wait for Wicked Fire! Recommend reading it
After reading book 1 which i struggled with at first, i was looking forward to seeing where this book went.
i felt it had a much better flow and the twist between historical and para romances blended much more easily than the first book.
i loved the different characters and the aspects Lily had to engage with and overcome.
looking forward to see where book 3 goes.
Lily Archer is in an appalling position. Fallen prey to a scandal, she’s being forced to marry an abusive drunk, all because she was caught unaware. Myrddin, the Duke of Denforth, steps forward and makes her his duchess, saving her and introducing her to undeniable passion and magic.
I don’t make it a secret how much I enjoy historical romances and erotica, and add in tales of myths and legend and I am sold. My love of the stories of Merlin and Morgaine and all things fae go back to my childhood and I adored Raisa Greywood’s reimagining of these characters for a more modern age. The added twist of Lily having three husbands was all the merrier as was their wicked (delicious) interactions that made Lily’s original scandal so, so, mild in comparison. But can the love of her men save her when she’s stolen away? Well, not entirely. For Lily has grown during her time with them and she’s far stronger than anyone could imagine and definitely not quite human.
Likes: Where to begin…I really enjoyed Ms. Greywood’s worldbuilding. The characters and events/plot were engaging and my likes (and dislikes) of the different characters were definitely under the author’s control. I loved how Lily handled Drako and it served as some much needed levity at times. The scenes with Lily and her husbands were blistering, they were so hot and more than once, I had to put my Kindle down to let it cool off before I could pick it back up again. The darkness that exists in this story is well-balanced against all the light and the worse it gets, the more the love between these four grows until nothing can win against them.
Raisa Greywood’s WICKED TRUTH is Book 2 of the Wicked Magic series and it keeps getting better and better.

Wicked Magic, Book 2. Legend combines with the hottest relationship of legend to create magic!
Why? Oh, why? Lily’s hope is gone. How did it come to this? If only she could go back! To be engaged to Caine Martin, that abusive brute, of all people. Then, out of nowhere, Michael, the Duke of Denforth, and his companions, Moses and Liam, appear on her doorstep. Why does Michael want to marry her? Desperate for a new life, Lily’s willing to let the past go. But is anything what it appears? Who are Michael, Moses and Liam? All three harbor secrets Lily can’t begin to understand. Magic? As much as she’s hoped and wished, it can’t be real, can it? Their marriage is scandalous! But does anything matter if they’re happy? Who cares what anyone else thinks? But deep inside Lily lives something special, something potentially so powerful others will do anything to take it and her. When Lily disappears without a trace, can anyone find her? Michael, Moses, and Liam may not be ordinary, but are they any match for what’s entrapped their Lily? There’s the tiniest spark of hope. Only can a spark be fanned into a flame large enough to save Lily? Or will that spark burn into an inferno destroying Lily and everything around her?
I’m not sure I can even begin to tell you how special this story is to me. Any story that contains magic opens a door to my soul. That probably sounds over-the-top melodramatic, but it’s still true. Even if you don’t have that kind of reaction to magic, Raisa Greywood spins a tale that holds you enthralled from the first word. The characters and creatures in this book are literally legendary. For me, meeting these characters is like meeting old friends. But I realize most people don’t have the same attraction to magic as I do. Believe me, this book is still head and shoulders above any book you’ve read. Nothing is as it seems. The story is thrilling, full of mystery, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Every page fills with you with anticipation, mystery, darkness, light, good, evil, love, and hatred. And can anyone resist time travel? As if all that wasn’t enough, OMG! This story is as hot and steamy as they come! Seriously! How can anyone not love a poly relationship in a historical romance with supernatural elements? Raisa Greywood writes the best books I’ve ever read, and you absolutely HAVE TO READ this one! I honestly wish there was some way I could give this book 100 stars. That is absolutely how wonderful it is. Give it a try. I guarantee you, you won’t be sorry!
A final note. This is an ADULT book. It contains explicit language, some dark themes, and sexual scenes. If you don’t enjoy this genre, this may not be the book for you. There are book synopses and reviews available on Goodreads and all booksellers’ websites. Please use these resources. I urge you to leave a review, but with a proviso. Please don’t leave a negative review when you know you won’t enjoy the book. It’s not fair to the author. She works hard to provide a quality work product. If you know you’ll object to a book’s subject matter before you buy it, you’re doing yourself and the author an extreme disservice.
Thanks for reading my review and happy reading!
