About this ebook

She’s the mistress of illusion; How can he trust her lessons on love?

 

Lady Olivia Malcolm Hargreaves is a viscountess, a widow, a governess, the adopted mother of a disabled toddler—but above all else, she is a survivor. When the father of the young children she’s been caring for arrives on Christmas Eve, drunk and ranting, his aura and her own sad experience tell her he’s dangerous.


Heart hardened after the murder of his beloved wife, Simon Blair is an industrialist who has no use for another psychic Malcolm. His late wife’s weird family is more than enough interference. But his twin daughters are talking to their mother’s ghost, his son and heir is floating objects that shouldn’t float, and he’s beleaguered by aristocrats who refuse to acknowledge his plebeian existence.


When Simon learns that Lady Olivia is in a position to help him obtain the land he needs for his business, and she recognizes that by helping him, she might regain the home she’s lost, they must fight their respective prejudices and forge an uneasy alliance. It might take a ghost, an army of children, and a criminal gang to force them to recognize that they want far more than real estate.

The first half of the book was slow and the second half was better mostly due to the relationship between Simon and Olivia. Quite honestly the final scene of where they take care of the villains during that poker game was chaotic and confusing. I re-read those chapters twice and I couldn't really follow the sequence of events. Overall there are too many characters in this book, you could strip out about half and have a more coherent story. Not sure if I will stick to this series which is a shame because I liked the other magic series from Patricia Rice.

Simon Blair thinks he'll never marry again as he already lost the love of his life when his wife Letitia died. But he is strongly attracted to the young widow Olivia, Viscountess Hargreaves. Olivia is very protective of children, especially those with special talents or needs. In her grief after her husband's death, she allowed herself to be driven from her home by her in-laws, to her regret. With Simon offering his assistance, she is determined to correct that error, especially when she learns of the fate of those she left behind. She becomes a formidable fighter. There are some surprises for Olivia and the readers along the way. I enjoyed reading the all the sneaky, little tricks she, the children and servants employ in her bid to outwit her adversaries at Hargreaves Hall. Many scenes with the children are especially amusing. I read a free advance copy; the thoughts expressed are my own.
