    About this ebook

    STIRRING UP THE PAST…

    After her sister was attacked and left for dead, Ashley Davis traveled to the remote Greystone Island in search of answers. But identifying her sister's assailant while on the imposing and mysterious Langdon estate seemed impossible–especially when she sensed a sinister force lurking in the shadows.

    COULD GET HER KILLED

    Now the only way to uncover the truth–and stay alive–was to join forces with Brad Taylor, the island's mysterious police officer. But forging this unlikely union with the one man who made her pulse race seemed even more frightening than the long-buried secrets of the past that were about to resurface….

    Leona Karr

    The first time Leona (Lee) Karr saw her words in print was in the sixth grade when she won an essay contest and her entry was published in the city newspaper. That same thrill, always tinged with a little surprise, is still there after over 30 published books. Although she has written mysteries, historical romances, gothics, and paranormal romances, her favorite genre is romantic suspense, and her bookshelves are filled with tales of mysterious heroes and courageous heroines caught up in the excitement of an intrigue. A native of Colorado, she has set many of her books in the majestic Rocky Mountains near her home. Graduating from the University of Colorado with a B.A., and from the University of Northern Colorado with an M.A. degree, she taught as a reading specialist until her first book was published in 1980. Her books have been translated and published in many foreign countries with over a million of her books reprinted. After being widowed for five years, she recently married and is living her very own romantic story with her new husband and soul mate. Leona "wheels and deals" from a wheelchair after she was struck with a bout of polio just one year before the vaccine was approved for use. She has been blessed with children and grandchildren. She has been on the Waldenbooks bestseller List, nominated by Romantic Times for Best Romantic Saga, and Best Gothic Author. She has been honored as the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writer of the Year, and has received Colorado's Romance Writer of the Year Award. She is a presenter at numerous writing conferences and has taught college courses in creative writing. She writes five hours a day, happily chasing new stories of love, danger, and happiness. She is delighted when readers confess that her books kept them up half of the night reading.

      Very old book. Don't even remember this one. I think I read the trilogy though.
    • 5/5
      My favorite of the trilogy, and the epilogue was a lovely way to finish up all their stories. I think the Donovan books will always hold a space for me as nostalgic comfort reads; witchcraft and romance is a great combination.
    • 3/5
      Typical paranormal, magic romance novel. Boy meets girl, they fall in love, they have a fight, they get back together, they live happily ever after. This one comes with a twist though, it's part of the Donovan legacy series, which means witches shown in a positive light, although I'm not thrilled about how they make witch mean Wicca when they are 2 completely different things, but I digress. Anyway, it's a cute, easy to read story with a few rather requisite steamy sex scenes, LOL. Light reading for sure! I never read the first 2 in the series, so I'm going to have to go back & find those, but fine as a stand alone too.
    • 4/5
      For those of you playing along at home, Charmed is the third book in the Donovan Legacy series. Three cousins, Morgana, Sebastian and Anastasia are all witches of Irish descent. With Morgana and Sebastian married off in Captivated and Entranced respectively, Ana is the last single cousin/witch. She is having the most trouble finding a mate due to her supernatural ability to feel empathy and heal broken whatevers. Enter Boone Sawyer, single (widower) dad and new (convenient) neighbor. Even more conveniently enough, he writes fairy tales and has even corresponding with the Donovan matriarch in Ireland. He's a big fan. Ana falls in love with his daughter and Boone falls in love with Ana. It's a match made in heaven except Ana can't tell Boone she really is a witch. She's afraid he will act like the last guy and dump her cold. So she has cold feet. It takes an accident for them to break the impasse and live happily ever after. Hey, this is a Nora Roberts romance after all!
    • 4/5
      Anastasia Donovan is a witch and a herbalist. Resigned to a life of solitude due to her abilities her life is put off it's steady course when Boone Sawyer and his charming daughter move in next door. Will he accept her for what she is or run away from her and her powers.Readable fluff from Nora, amusing but nothing exceptional. Falls for the Wicca is an ancient religion trap.
