Breath of Magic

Hilarious

***NOTE MY REVIEWS OFTEN CONTAIN SPOILERS***
This book is absolutely hilarious. Beyond just being a love story, this is the kind of love story that draws you in.

I'll admit I wasn't expecting much when I picked up this book, I purchased in just a bag of books and it as a romance by an author whose name I didn't recognize, but the cover image caught my eye and I thought well I already bought it, might as well read it before I send it off to someone else.

I was pleasantly to find this book was much more than I expected. Arian who believes she's a witch in the 1600s own an emerald amulet which was given to her by her mother when she was a child. The amulet she believes enhances her own magical abilities. We're introduced to her when she's in the woods trying to take flight on a broom. After a few failed attempts she succeeds only to crash land face first in the dirt.

When she is caught practicing magic and being tried as a witch with a test by water she attempts to perform a spell to save herself from drowning. She doesn't drown but instead find herself transported through time to the year 1996 and just happens to show up in the exact spot of a competition to prove magic is real being held by the "boy billionaire" Tristan. The story follows their journey to overcoming distrust and falling in love.

Beyond that you share in the experiences of a curious girl from the 1600s experiencing the wonders of the mid 90s. She shut the water off to his fountain by running the show, the faucets and repeatedly flushing the toilet when she discovers indoor plumbing. She almost electrocutes herself when she sticks a spoon in a broken light bulb that's still attached to a plugged in lamp. She plays French lullabies on the key pad of the touch tone phone, attempts to find the people living inside the television and learns to play the piano from gang members in Harlem who she visits because she's hungry and she can smell their food. Her innocence and curiosity will keep you laughing from beginning to end.

If the humor and love weren't enough to keep you turning the pages the book includes a subplot filled with time travel, betrayals and intrigue. This is a definite must read.

I give this four stars only because some of the scenes are a bit farfetched and unrealistic, also it was a bit disappointing when you learn the real source of Arian's magic. Also I didn't like when she went into a distant third person or narrators voice in some scenes like in the end scenes where she writes, had they opened the door they would have seen... I found this a bit distracting. Overall however the book was still a page turner.

A reviewer

I usually do not read time travel romances, but this one was a great read. In the beginning, the storyline was fast-paced, but the middle dragged on a bit. The ending was sort of lacking in Medeiros' usual style, but other than that it was funny and enjoyable.

Disapointed

Not the quality of 'Yours til Dawn'. This was a childish fairy tale with sex thrown in. Not my type of story.

Terrific

Love that magic, romance & time travel!!!!!!!!!!!

"Breath of Magic" is a breath of fresh air, great characters with great chemistry!

Another one of this author's great works. Enjoyable and memorable with a few twists and turns along the way. Take time to enjoy this, and with the money you save with the special pricing, treat yourself with a delicious coffee of tea drink!

promising but frustrating!

This book held so much promise in the beginning fulfilling most aspects of any romance novel with a hint of magic. As I neared the middle and end of the book it just started to piss me off with frustration and Arian's lack of a backbone. If any guy did what Tristan did to her any strong character should have pushed him to change his mistrustful misguided ways instead of just close her eyes and freakin submit! like someone with absolutely no will of their own to be beaten and hurt by someone only to gladly let them use their body a bit later. grrrrrr.

Loved it!

I absolutely loved this book! Couldn't put it down until I finished it and then I was still wishing that it hadn't ended.

Outstanding...

I like strong heros and Tristan was a perfect one. Very romantic story. Arian was delightful. The story doesn't have a dull moment anywhere.

Medeiros is the queen!!

Breath of Magic was a well written time travel tale. I just wish that Medeiros would write more time travel. Superb writing and well thought out characters.

My all time favorite book!

I have been reading romance for 17 years and have never enjoyed a book as much as this one. The character Arian had me laughing out loud at the little things in our lives we think nothing of. If you enjoy magic and time travel this is a must read.

Fantastic Ms. Medeiros!

Romance is SO under-rated and under-appreciated!! Why don't authors like this get the credit they deserve? Why haven't we seen Ms. Medeiros on The Today Show? What an author like this can do crafting an incredible tale woven together so an outrageous (but delicious) story can read like reality! I was so impressed with her imagination and the turns the story took. I've been reading "fiction" for years. I'm going to move over to romance for awhile with Teresa Medeiros' books! This book had me sneaking away to read it at every opportunity, raving about it to my friends who'd listen.

even better than 5 stars

I have never read a book that I have enjoyed more than this one, The charactors are exquisite. Breath of Magic was very amusing and entertaining, It is a must read!!! I would give Breath of Magic 10 stars if I could:)

Stupendous author does it again

Teresa Medeiros once again proves to us that she is one of the top authors in the business. A captivating blend of humor, drama, and history are the ingredients for success that this book holds. Medeiros' use of detail makes it seem that we actually know Arian, Tristan, Cop, and the rest of the gang in this story 'proving once again that true love conquers all.'

fairy tale witch meets future prince charming

I've read several time travel books but this one was the best. The characters had unbelievabale chemistry and made you fall in love with them. My favorite by this author so far.

an enchanting book!

I LOVED IT!!! I've read this book4 a couple of times, and I'm never dissapointed. I'm kinda into all the magic and time travel stories, and lucky for me, this book has both. I first read this book when I was 15, and I couldn't put it down so I stayed up all night and finished it! I really love all the characters too!!! Bravo Teresa
