Lindsay Wade is a shy, boring, and uptight receptionist. She's won an office raffle and reluctantly accepts the prize - one ticket to the celebrity magician Angelito Tarrago's new magic show. She's quickly seduced by the handsome magician and is pulled into a world of a secret society of those who possess real magic. She is eventually told that she is a female magi, and the subject of an ancient and scary prophecy. She's quickly torn between trusting her new lover Angelito or the mysterious rebel Demitri. Will Lindsay fulfill the prophecy and will she find love with one of these powerful men?I almost stopped reading this several times, but I hate not finishing books, even if I'm not enjoying it. Conceptually, this is interesting. The magic and the secret society is a great premise. The problem is that rather than examine and truly illuminate the world created, the book is mostly just one giant orgy after another. I didn't feel like I really understood the powers that were had by different people, Lindsay in particular. I didn't feel like I was given enough to truly grasp what the society did besides have sex. Lindsay is kept very much in the dark, and what she is told is only the same stuff repeated.It was also kind of surprising to see Lindsay be so shy in the beginning to become a total nympho who was willing to have sex with pretty much anything and anyone she came in contact with (how romantic!). This, to me, was not an erotic "romance," but rather straight erotica. While the sex scenes are not bad, they actually became annoying. I got tired of seeing every single character we met get it on. I wanted Lindsay to have a ROMANCE and stop masturbating for a minute.I would not recommend this for someone looking for an erotic romance (like I was), which is what the book is advertised to be. I was really annoyed by this, and I'm glad I got it free.
