When Elizabeth Penshurst disgraces her minister father by dancing in the wood in her shift, she is sent away to live with distant cousins she's never met. Before she leaves, she is warned to "Beware the Dark Man."The first person Lizzie meets when she reaches Yorkshire is Gabriel Durham, expelled from the priesthood and shunned by his own family, he appears very dangerous to her. But Lizzie is drawn to Gabriel in ways she cannot explain, even though she is warned by him to be wary of even him.Dark magic, druid cults, ghosts, dancing in the moonlight and yet another of Anne Stuart's famous mysterious men, that is the formula this novel. While a nice, fast read, I wouldn't say it's the very best. I do recommend it though for Anne Stuart's wonderful storytelling.
Heart warming, quick read.

Anne Stuart is my favorite author and the hero's she writes about are the best. She did not disappoint me with her latest PRINCE OF MAGIC. This is a wonderful book and truly enjoyable, with plenty of dark undertones. A beautiful romance, a great secondary romance, and two deliciously evil people. It also come equiped with two ghost, former monks Brother Paul and Brother Septimus. A wondufully tortured hero and a free spirited you woman. Write more stories like this one Ms. Stuart!!
Anne Stuart at her glorious best

This Georgian historical is everything Anne Stuart readers have come to count on--delicious sexual tension, excellent writing, wicked humor in the most unexpected places, a heroine we can all relate to, and best of all, a man worth of the title. Lean and brooding, tormented and irresistibly to the rescue. I loved this book!
