Customer Reviews

Blend of romance and fantasy -- excellent story

This book is a mix of romance and fantasy -- sort of a cross-genre book. Here is the story of a sculptor, Jordalyn, and a fantasy novelist, Malacai. They meet, and though drawn to each other, avoid passion at all costs, until they are artfully drawn together by Malacai's grandfather -- keeper of the Dark Pearl. To say much more about the plot would ruin it for future readers so I'll stop there. This romance novel sweeps you up into a world of fantasy and magic and comes to a nail biting conclusion. I would say that the central theme of the book is romance, though the reader is also swept up into a world of fantasy. There was also just enough suspense and danger involved to keep you on the edge of your seat. This book is well written and well worth your reading time. You won't regret reading it, and will remember the characters long after you read the last page. EXCELLENT!

Legend of the Sorcerer

Absolutely a fantastic read! I read this book in one day ... start to finish. The characters are exciting and make you want to live in their world. When the book was over I wanted more. I anxiously await Donnas next book. Having read all of Donna Kauffmans books I rate this the best of the bunch. Bravo Donna! I am waiting.....!

A wonderful getaway to a far off land!

This was the first book I've picked up in about three years. I could not put it down. I had the entire thing finished in less than two days. Mrs. Kauffman is an amazing writer. I was so involved in the characters that it felt as if the were real. Since this book I have finished another of Mrs. Kauffman's books (two days later), and I have ordered all remaining. I would recommend this book to anyone.

The story line is fast-paced as fiction turns into reality for the dynamic lead couple. Jordy is a wonderful person whose bravery and heroism surfaces when the need occurs. Cai and his grandfather Alfred are intriguing charcaters that tantalize the audience as they struggle with the "family secret."
