Magic is her birthright....

The daughter of one of the strongest magical lineages, Ninian Malcom Siddons is a powerful witch. Determined to use her magic only for good, she lives a simple, solitary life as a healer in her village, where she meets Drogo.

A man of science doesn't believe in anything he can't see....

Lord Drogo Ives believes only logic and science can explain the wonders of the universe and doesn't believe the local folklore about Malcolm witches and Ives men - until he meets Ninian. Despite the odds against them and their (many) differences, the bond between Drogo and Ninian grows stronger each moment they are together...until the chaos and danger surrounding them forces each to decide: their love...or their lives....

A good read but rather too talky at times. Drogo and Ninian were the perfect opposites attack couple. The two meet by chance in the forest and are doomed to actions contrary to each one's set of rules. They spend a night of passion together and not surprisingly, Ninian becomes pregnant. They marry, with reluctance on Ninian,s part , because Drogo has vowed to marry any woman who carries his babe. Theirs is a rocky relationship because each is so strong in their own convictions and not willing to compromise. This is the first book in a series and it will be very interesting to read how things play out in the following books between the members of these two families, the Ives and the Malcolms.

A son. No, a daughter.

I love this book a free spirited moon child vs a logical curly eyebrow you watch bloom over the months. It makes me laugh and turn for more which you get. Take a chance and listen

So much love

I loved this book! I enjoyed the story line and didn’t find it as predictable as are so many books of this genre. The narrator was awesome as well. I fear I’m hooked on this series now!

Made me laugh out loud!

Started off weird but l caught up. the Earl was a little harsh at the start but he realized what he got in her...rare kind of diamond and lived her like nothing else. it's a lesson of understanding the other, acceptance of what is good not evil and loving like there is no other or tomorrow.
narrator was great for a male voice and did ok with her voice.
overall great story indeed. love that you didn't leave the love story to begin at the end when the book is finishing. we get to experience their love story not just their falling in love 💕

a different kind of love and still beautiful ❤️
