Nicholas
Montgomery fell in love with a bewitching woman only months before his sworn
obligation to marry another. His beloved’s fury cast a spell that lasted
hundreds of years.
You will never love another like
you love me. You will never know a moment’s peace for what you have done. Until
you love me enough to forsake everything—your honor, your pride, your own
soul—we cannot be together.
Reborn
into the body of Sean Concannon, a powerful witch, he has finally found his beloved.
Now he has a choice to make, and a sacrifice. One he may be unprepared to make.
In Under Your Spell by Shiloh Walker, Nicholas falls
in love with Aislinn. But he feels he is bound by honor to marry a child-bride
from Spain. In those days she not a child but still a 13 year old seems young.
When Aislinn begs him to choose her instead and he does not, she goes crazy and
outs herself to the community that she is a witch. (It was the middle ages)
While they burn her at the stake she curses Nicholas. In the subsequent four
lifetimes he searches for her until finally he finds her. She doesn’t remember
him or her past lives but he discovers that her punishment has been to die by
fire for her past lifetimes. He takes away her painful memories and decides to
give up his magic for her. Only then can they be together.
Under Your Spell is a short story about love. Found,
lost, found again and then sacrifice. It begs the question: What would you be
willing to give up for love? The story is so compelling that the lack of
character build-up is easily ignored. The set up of the story is well done and
leads the reader to want a happy conclusion for these characters.
Over I find this to be a worthy read. I looked forward to
the continuation of the story while reading it and was sort of sad to see it
end. I rate this book 3.75 stars.
