Week 9 Review: Magic Touch

From Goodreads:

ESME

I never dreamed my small curatives shop in Windsor, England would attract the attention of war hero Sir William Meriwether. My feminine heart is aflutter when he enters. But I'm a witch and a healer, and he's a man in pain, so I heal him. Desperate to do him a good service, I stretch my powers to the limit—or perhaps beyond. Somehow, in curing his ailing leg, I unleash powers inside William. At a loss to stop what's begun, I'm forced to seek assistance from the coven I've sworn never to join. I dread the encounter, but for William's sake, I put my family's hatred aside. Getting to spend more time with William is an added enticement.

WILLIAM

I'm mesmerized by Esme O'Dwyer from the moment I lay eyes on her. Despite our different stations in society, I want something more personal than any restorative tea she might offer. As a gentleman, I contain those baser needs, and accept her assistance to ease the pain in my leg. When the alluring witch's touch bestows me with magic of my own, I want no part of it. But the coven's leaders insist magic never make mistakes, and for this to have happened, I must be needed. I've never been one to shy away from duty, and being secluded for training with Esme is magical in more ways than one.

ESME

Trouble is coming to Windsor. The signs are all there. The race is on to train William as a witch before his power is needed, but our growing attraction is as undeniable as the battle that lies ahead.

My Review:
I had such a great time reading this book! This is the 3rd series that I've read by A.S. Fenichel, and the first that has magic, and I was excited to see what it was like. And it was a really great story, I loved the world, and I loved these characters, and seeing them fall in love! 

The synopsis really had me intrigued about the magic system, and getting to know these two as they fell in love. And this book delivered on both counts! The magic was interesting in how it worked, The fact that it seems like she gives him magic when she heals him is so cool, and these two were so cute to read about together! 

 That they both have complications keeping them from one other, of course they do, it's a book, it wouldn't have a lot of conflict in a romance if there wasn't. Loved watching them deal with things! They were just so fantastic together! 

They come from different walks in life, that he's higher born then she is, and she's a witch with a coven that she doesn't associate with. Watching him deal with the magic, and the idea that he needed to have it, well, just was the threat that was coming? It was so great to read! 

This was a really fantastic read, and I can't wait to continue!
