Publisher's summary

Just in time for the holidays: author Linda Howard's beloved Mackenzies. Meet Maris Mackenzie - and the sexy stranger she woke up to find in her bed! Unfortunately, she had no memory of Alex MacNeil, the previous day… or the prize thoroughbred she'd apparently stolen.

Mackenzies Magic

This book is outstanding and equal to all the other Mackenzie book's. Linda Howard has out done herself with this Mackenzie series. The only thing wrong with this book is it isn't long enough.

Maris finds her man

Maris Mackenzie wakes up in a motel room bed with a man with no idea how she got there. Could be the slight concussion getting in the way of her memories. As she talks with Mac, memories start to return of racing to the Kentucky stable to save Sole Pleasure from being killed.
In the ensuing conversation, details come out, and Maris comes to know who Mac is and what he means to her future. Once they deal with the bad guys, it’s time for the two of them.
The final chapter and Epilogue with the Mackenzie family is precious and priceless. Love it!
Boutsikaris does a decent job of narration.

GOOD BUT HAVE HAD BETTER FROM LINDA HOWARD

THIS IS THE FIRST OF THE MACKENZIE BOOKS THAT FELL A LITTLE SHORT IN MOST AREAS. I AM NOT SURE WHAT WAS MISSING. IT WAS GOOD BUT NOT ONE I WOULD READ AGAIN REAL SOON LIKE I WOULD THE OTHER MACKENZIE BOOKS. LINDA HOWARD IS STILL ONE OF MY TOP AUTHORS AND I HAVE FOUND VERY FEW THAT I WOULDN'T READ OVER & OVER. THIS ONE JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE SIZZLE THE OTHER ONES DID. I AM GLAD IT ENDED WITH FAMILY BECAUSE THAT IS ALWAYS GOOD.

Short but Sweet

Where does Mackenzie's Magic rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It wasn't the best but it certainly wasn't the worst.

What about Dennis Boutsikaris’s performance did you like?

He had good intonation and inflection when he read the story. His voices were believable and added to the enjoyment of the story.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

no

Any additional comments?

Good Story and an easy listen...didn't have to think to hard about the plot...just a good lose yourself in the story book.

More of Mackenzie.

Cute little story, romance was way fast, but to be expected in a short story. Defiantly could have made this into a full size story with some mystery added. Although Dennis Boutsikaris did a good job reading the book, he sounds older and maybe accountant type. Not the manly man, portrayed in the story, and it was mostly from a woman’s point of view. There is a lot of revisiting of the Mackenzie family at the end.

I want to be a MacKenzie

I am so in love with this amazing family and all their adventures. What spectacular characters, truly each comes alive including the cutest of all, the precious little Nic. There is so much spirit in the writing, I laughed and felt all the emotions that were written. The narrator is wonderful and I can tell he enjoyed every minute bringing the book to life. I’ve read the entire series. What a joy.

Where is the rest of the story?

Where is the novels dealing with Alex and Josh Mackenzie, and will there be others, maybe with the grandchildren. Please do not let this be the end!!!

Not what I expected...

I bought this audiobook because I had read all the other books in this series and liked them. This story didn't measure up to the other stories, it was just okay. The story centers around the only MacKenzie daughter Maris and the man she falls for. Narration was well performed.

ok

Would you try another book from Linda Howard and/or Dennis Boutsikaris?

yes Linda Howard is on my top list of fav authors.

Would you be willing to try another book from Linda Howard? Why or why not?

absolutely. already have. love her suspense combined with love story books.

What aspect of Dennis Boutsikaris’s performance would you have changed?

nothing

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

i think it would be a great movie. its not about special effects its about a realistic story. the only problem with making books into movies is that they leave things out or they add things that the ppl think would make the story more marketable.

Any additional comments?

the only problem i had with this book and some of her earlier stories is that they are too short.
