An amazing story! Definitely a keeper.
A must read. A good page turner.
A enjoyable read. An average book.
A book that has flaws and is hard to finish.
Terrible and couldn't finish it.
Today I have Maxine Mansfield here to promote her new book and host a giveaway. So lets welcome her to Romance Book Junkies.
Touched by the Magic
By Maxine Mansfield
Genre: Erotic Fantasy
Heat level: 4, Scarlet Rose
Publisher: The Wild Rose Press
Release date: May 4, 2012
Blurb:
New to The Academy of
Magical Arts, Briarlarn Tumbleweed wants to learn the art of a True Healer, but
her nerves get the best of her when she’s paired in the sexually dynamic
healing class with Uthiel Stoutheart, Paladin of the Realm. Between burning off
his eyebrows and overturning a candle on certain exposed male parts, she isn't
making a very good impression. But how can she focus when Uthiel is strong,
brave, and touches Briar in a way that leaves her weak in the knees, quivering
with pleasure, and begging for more?
Falling in love with the accident-prone but talented Briar was not what Uthiel had planned, but life with the sexy healer is adventurous, hilarious, mind-blowingly stimulating, and clearly his destiny. His soul awakens while taking her to new heights of ecstasy, yet he can't allow his own pleasure. There’s no getting around it—he must leave The Academy and pursue his quest to right the wrongs done to his people if he can ever hope to find happiness with Briar.
But is their love strong enough to mend the magic so desperately needed to preserve their world, and that touches both their souls with a searing heat?

Briar gulped once more and
shifted until she was directly in front of him. Standing on tiptoes, she
whispered, “I’m still a virgin.”
She stepped back and watched all the color drain from Uthiel’s face.
“You’re a what? How on Albrath did that happen?” He stared at her as if she’d grown an extra head. A slight twitch in his left jaw became more pronounced.
“I told you, there wasn’t anyone around to take care of that tiny detail.”
Her cheeks burned with embarrassment, and her throat tightened so much she could barely breathe. If she lived to be a thousand, she didn’t ever again want to see the look of horror Uthiel leveled at her. She felt like a freak in a carnival sideshow.
The paladin sat heavily on a stool. “I’ve never known a twenty-one-year-old virgin. How did you even get accepted into the Healer program? I mean, for God Draka’s sake, Briar, Healing the Soul is almost entirely sex, in one form or another.”
Briar swallowed her tears. “They didn’t ask, so I didn’t tell. Well, really, they didn’t ask directly, and I figured what they didn’t know wouldn’t hurt anyone. So, will you help me, or not?”
