Ivy Grace is learning that magic--and love--are all about the right timing.
Follow the adventures of this spirited young Southern woman as she embarks upon a successful new career writing novels and movies that explore romantic mysteries of the past.
Ivy, a witch who spends her days practicing her brand of good magic in a sleepy little city, often travels back in time to observe events of yesteryear and turn them into compelling stories for her modern-day fans. But as her uncanny ability to weave enthralling historic tales lands her in the limelight, she quickly finds that fame sometimes comes with a price.
Evil forces now know who she is and threaten to reveal her family’s most sacred magical secrets.
With the help of her ruggedly handsome editor and a sexy supernatural ex-boyfriend, Ivy must unravel history while fighting to keep these ominous forces at bay.
Will Ivy be able to make the ultimate sacrifice for the people she loves the most?
REVIEW
This was a fun, quick read. I really loved the idea
of being able to Time Spell. It was a different take on time travel and used in
such a unique way. I’m sure anyone would love to step back in time, and it
would be an author’s dream.
The MC’s of this story kind of blended into the
background while the secondary characters, the ones from 1968 Las Vegas were
more prominent. I knew more about whom they were and what drove them to do the
things they did. I know that their love triangle was a major part of the
plotline but I would have liked to have seen more from the MCs.
I really wish the story had had a little more substance
where Ivy and her love life were concerned. I really liked Finn, regardless of
the fact that I knew nearly nothing about him. All I knew of him had been learned
through flashbacks, and even that wasn’t enough to go by. He was made out to be
a charmer and even a bit of a bad boy, but his actions told another story. He
obviously really cared for Ivy and was willing to do whatever she asked of him.
Then there was Jack. I didn’t really connect with
him and I think it also had to do with the fact that I didn’t know enough about
him. My heart did break for Ivy toward the end of the book, but she showed true
character when she was willing to give up on something she’d always wanted, to
keep those she cared about safe.
This book was exciting and full of mystery. It had a
bit of everything and I’m sure it will be enjoyed by anyone who loves intrigue
and suspense as well as lovers of paranormal romances.
It gets...

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT
I drew back and arched my shoulders to narrowly avoid a
collision. An irritated waiter forged briskly ahead with a squeaky rolling cart
donned with silver trays and chilling bottle of champagne on ice. Close call, Ivy, I nervously scolded
myself. But a quick peek around the corner curtain of where I had traveled, and
I knew this was the right spot. I could feel the energy buzzing and my witchy
instincts were happy
I turned back to make sure I had my eye on exactly where the
seam was and surveyed the hallway again to listen for the busy waiter and his
squeaky cart. Once I could see the faint glow swishing back and forth and knew
the hall was clear, I stepped closer to seal it. The seam, along with my
grandmother’s sapphire ring, was my only way in and out of the past. I pointed
my fingertips toward the glow and whispered, “Eclipse.” The ripples ebbed to a
quiet stillness and the glow faded. All that remained was the wall I had just
walked through. On the other side of the velvet drapes lining the catering
corridor, smoke rings curled, people were laughing, and the high notes of a
trumpet echoed. It sounded like I had chosen a good spot for my Time Spell. I smiled—now it was time to find a story.
