Writing a romantic book gives you time to develop your characters. Writing "short" involves different talents. Every sentence, every word has to do double duty--inform the reader of the history and personality of the characters AND suck you into the plot, making you care about the characters so quickly introduced. Throw in magic and time travel and you have a challenge few writers are brave enough to try. Yet Ms. Jakes shows she's up for the challenge.Ms. Jakes shows us Izzy and Ian are true soul mates--never mind the pending divorce, their emotional turmoil and the magic spells. These two belong together. I wondered how she would resolve all the questions I had as I read, and darned if she didn't. I smiled. I nodded. I whispered, "well done, Jennifer Jakes."This is an engaging read spiced with humor and unexpected plot twists. Oh, and did I mention sensuality? Oh, yeah....
