Absolutely Wonderful

I have always been a big Nora Roberts fan and out of all the books that I've read I believe her Donovan Legacy is one of the best. Between the magic and the romance weaves a wonderful story that leaves you wanting the same happy ending and a love that will last a life time. Reading all the stories is a definite must.

Don't dismiss Nora's older works...

because you could be missing a real gem! This contains two stories, Charmed first published in 1992, and Enchanted, published in 1999. Any avid reader of Nora out there knows that Silhouette has been putting new covers and on her older titles and releasing them. I have read some reviews that have expressed disappointment with the reader feeling they were duped into buying an older title, thinking it was a new work. I have read some of these older titles, and most if not all of her more recent single titles as well as the trilogies. I love some of her older Silhouette titles, and some I'm not so crazy about. The same holds true for her more recent works published by Putnam and Jove. The point is, don't assume you won't enjoy and older title if you've never read it before. I loved this book. Think of the Three Sisters and the Irish trilogies. If you like those, I am certain you'll like this one. Charmed and Enchanted are books 3 and 4 of the Donovan Legacy. The other two are Captivated and Entranced, which were also reissued, but seperately. I ordered both because I loved this one so much.

Newly converted

I'm new to Nora Roberts, and I love these books--this series especially. The magic isn't just in the plot. There's something in the prose itself that keeps me reading long after I should have stuck in the bookmark and turned out the light. If I read a title all in one go, it's because I can't put it down. The only question I have at this point is--this series appears to refer to previous adventures of an earlier generation. But as a new reader, I can't figure out what titles I should read to catch up with the "backstory". Maybe it's just her style, to imply there's a history she's already narrated, but if there *are* earlier stories of the family, I wish someone would clue me in. I resisted romances for a long time. Nora has totally converted me.

Couldn't put it down

I either love or hate Nora Roberts books and I loved this combo. Unfortunately I bought this one before reading 1 and 2 in the series. I usually love her tales of magic and this one did not disappoint in the slightest. I read into the wee hours of the morning on two occasions even though I knew I would be up soon with my daughter.

Charmed by this witchly tale!

In this her third book in the Donovan series, author Nora Roberts, has provided her readers with one of her most endearing characters, Anastsia Donovan. Cousin to Morgana and Sebastian featured in the first two titles of this series, Captivated(Morgana) and Entranced (Sebastian), Anastasia is the cousin blessed with the powers of healing. When a new neighbor, Boone Sawyer, moves next doot to her with his young motherless daughter, Anastsia proves not only to be a good neighbor but wins the hearts of both Boone and his daughter. As time goes on Boone is drawn more and more into Anastasia's spell and begins to fall in love with her. Ana, though, worries how she will ever tell him the truth about herself and her family.This is a fast and enjoyable read. By far my favorite title from the Donovan series so far. And if one has enjoyed this trilogy, now they can coninue to read about another Donovan cousin in a fourth title, the recently written and published book, Enchanted.
