Those sexy warriors of the Tuatha D’Danann

I admit it. I've been seduced by those sexily handsome warriors of the Tuatha D’Danann! You know, the heroes in Cheyenne McCray's latest series, "Magic." *g* If you've not read her books, then you don't know what you are missing. *wg* I'd read her previous two books, Forbidden Magic and Seduced by Magic, so I'd been eagerly awaiting her latest installment, Wicked Magic. Two days ago I was able to sneak out during lunch our and go to Borders, and I got my hands on the last copy they had. Heh! Isn't the cover simply gorgeous? *g* The previous two books were about the Ashcroft sisters, but this one is about Rhiannon's story. She appeared on the previous two books as a secondary character, one of witches of the D'Anu that broke from the main coven when the evil Formore attacked them and who understands that sometimes you have to use gray magic. This latest story in Ms. McCray's Magic series is so romantic, passionate, and powerful... but hey, don't take my word for it. Read the blurb: Wicked Magic Rhiannon Castle is a D’Anu witch whose is a D’Anu witch whose Coven sisters know nothing of the Shadows that lurk within her. Rhiannon can’t reveal the truth to anyone—least of all Keir, a rugged warrior soldier who walks into Rhiannon’s life and awakens her to a wanton reckless desire... Keir’s Tuatha D’Danann Tuatha D’Danann brethren are the only real family he has ever known. He trusts no one—until he is sent to San Francisco and meets Rhiannon, the one woman with fire enough to tame him. Every seductive encounter convinces Keir that she belongs with him—even though Rhiannon knows her powers could put him in peril.. And then a new threat rises from the depths of the Underworld. When a demon goddess unleashes her evil upon our world, Rhiannon’s secret could prove the ultimate weapon in this epic battle—or forge a pathway to destruction for the only man she’s ever loved… So you all can imagine I spent the past two nights curled up in my daybed reading it and wishing one of those Celtic warriors would swoop down and take me away with every turn of the page. What can I say? A girl can only dream, right? *winks* Although it's not necessary to read the books in order, if you've not read her previous ones, then I suggest you check them out. Forbidden Magic D'Anu witch Silver Ashcroft knows she walks a perilous line by practicing gray magic. But it's the only way to protect herself from the evil that surrounds her. After the horrors she has witnessed, Silver thinks she is ready for anything...until the most intensely arousing being she has ever encountered swiftly—and sensuously—proves her wrong... Hawk is a Tuatha D'Danann warrior—powerful beings descended from the Fae. And for him duty has always come before pleasure. Then, clad only in moonlight, Silver Ashcroft welcomes him to her city of San Francisco and makes his blood sing with a passion beyond compare. She is the embodiment of fantasies he never knew he had, but the terrifying reality of his mission lurks in every shadow... Only the strongest will survive the upcoming battle, and the forces of darkness are more powerful than ever. Now, warrior and witch must trust in their hearts above all else—for to claim victory, they first must claim each other... Seduced by Magic DESIRE Copper Ashcroft is an accomplished D’Anu witch, but the magic she wields is a potent force—strong enough to hurl her into a mysterious Otherworld when a spell backfires. Before Copper can escape, another being is pulled into her realm—Tiernan, a powerfully virile Tuatha D’Danann warrior. Blond, blue-eyed, and shamelessly seductive, Tiernan could be Copper’s savior…and his touch sets her body on fire. DUTY Like others of his kind, Tiernan stands alongside the D’Anu witches to battle the demons of the Underworld. Obligation to his cause and his people cautions against any entanglement with Copper, yet each second spent with this beautiful, uninhibited woman stirs an insatiable hunger. Desire explodes into carnal bliss, but the visions that haunt Copper’s dreams are growing stronger, and they foretell a terrifying evil waiting to be unleashed… DESTINY Saving the city will take more than brute strength...more than witchcraft. Only together can Copper and Tiernan find a way to overcome the dark forces—and seize a passion that has bewitched them both.
