A Kiss of Fate

PERFECT ENDING

This book allowed me to learn about some of the English and the Scottish history with more color and imagination. Weaving magic and all sorts of love made it a wonderful read. The sacrifices made in the story were made of true yearning and a deep understanding of what love really is. The ending was full of enigma!

Putney's Best to Date!

This reader couldn't be more pleased that Mary Jo Putney has returned to the historical realm, and particularly to historical fantasy! A KISS OF FATE is a riveting blend of romance, history, and fantasy that edges intriguingly toward alternate history--enough to make this a truly compelling and powerful read! The romance burns up the pages as well, so historical romance purists will not be disappointed either. A KISS OF FATE is historical fantasy at its best, offering something for every reader.

W-O-W-!

Everyone carries a spark of magic in his soul. Guardians just have more .............................................. 'Guardians' have always lived among 'Mundanes' (A.K.A. normal people). Guardians are those humans who have mage talents. There are several different types of mages with various levels of talent. Each take an oath, to swear to support what was good for the largest number of people. They were never to use their powers for harm, self gain, or to interfere with the normal process of the world such as war. ................................. Gwyneth Owens had, at one time, a Guardian father and a Mundane mother. She lived among the Guardians and took the oath, even though she had never shown any magical abilities. She would have been content to live out her remaining days in the vast Guardian library. Fate had different plans for Gwynne. She caught the eye of Duncan Macrae, Lord of Thunder, a powerful Weather Mage of Scotland. Though attracted to each other, Gwynne refused his offer of marriage. One with such power should marry his equal. However, the Guardian Council's scrying glasses showed dark times ahead. There was talk of a Jacobite rebellion. Prince Charles, The Pretender, had landed in Scotland and civil war loomed ominously. Gwynne was all but ordered to marry Duncan. No one could see why, but as his wife Gwynne would give him balance. She could make sure his emotions never clouded his judgement. As the Lord of Thunder, Duncan's power of controlling the weather could sway the outcome of the war, which was against the Oath. .................................... Soon Gywnne would learn about her own dormant mage talents and why they took so long to show. Only Gwynne's talents and her love for Duncan and the clan can keep the rivers of Scotland from running red with blood. ........................... ***** W-O-W-! This is not to be missed! It is the first of a new breathtaking series by the best-selling mistress of historical romance, Mary Jo Putney. Fans will want this one in hardback so it can be read many times in the future. (And just wait until you meet Gwynne's cat. It is half wild cat and very protective of her.) Excellent tale that will keep readers glued to the pages! *****
