"Fine romantic fantasy"
Recently widowed Texas rancher Carly Roberts sees the
strangely garbed man before she looks up to observe in
panic a fireball heading her way. Prince Alrick deflects
the fiery menace from her, but absorbs it himself. He
lies badly hurt on the ground thinking he was lucky that
the Warlock was not nearby to finish the job by first
killing him and then the human who destiny has named as
the only person that can save his race, the Fae of Rune. The Warlord coming from the distant future also knows this
and wants Carly dead before she gives birth to the
savior. Alrick is willing to die to keep her safe from
the dark sorcery, but also knows that the use of magic on
this plane causes "natural" upheavals like earthquakes.
What this person from the future does not know is that he
will fall in love with the woman he swore to protect as he
is part of her destiny. Mixing time travel with fantasy LONE STAR MAGIC is an
enchanting tale. The lead couple is a fine pairing while
the villain is a powerful foe who has no compunctions
about using magic in the Lone Star state. Fans will
appreciate Karen Whiddon's latest magic show that is
mindful of the terminator but in a romantic fantasy story
line. Harriet Klausner
