Product Description
From Booklist
CPA Travers Kineally lives an ordinary life, thank you very much. But life gets extraordinary when his sister gets him to drive three daffy women halfway across the country to look for Zoe Sinclair, who couldn't possibly still be alive, and certainly cannot be the beautiful woman they finally locate. Then he learns he isn't just a magician with math: he's a mage. But what really makes him nervous is that he can't get Zoe out of his mind. Grayson continues her faerie-tale inspired series centering on the Fates that began with Completely Smitten (2002) and Simply Irresistible (2003). Though the ending feels a bit rushed, readers will relish this captivating, mad-cap ride through Travers' and Zoe's adventures in a paranormal romance that is traditional and sweet on the sensuality scale, a hallmark of Grayson's. Since the greater story arc of the Fates is ongoing, the series should be read in order, although each book can be enjoyed on its own. Nina Davis

Hardly romantic,
By Saphira614 (Twin Cities, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Absolutely Captivated (Paperback)
I read the back cover and thought this seemed interesting. Well, I was wrong. Granted, I did not read the book(s?) that came before this one, but I feel like this author has no concept of the term "romance." There is very little relationship development between the lead characters. There are no intimate scenes other than a few kisses, so do not expect any lovemaking. I never really felt like I wanted these two characters to be together for the rest of their lives. I kept getting confused with all the rules of the different magical systems and why I should care. It also took forever for the action of the story to get going. I felt like I was stuck in a rut for 50+ pages for the hero to decide to accept his magic. The Fates were amusing, if sometimes annoying. I did like the son and his psychic abilities. That was probably the only bright (and humorous) spot. If you feel compelled to read this one, don't say I didn't warn you.

not enough romance,
By lovestoread "aquacies" (Springdale, AR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Absolutely Captivated (Paperback)
For a romance novel, this sure lacked a lot of romance! I think the leads kissed 2, maybe 3 times throughout the book. They didn't really get to know each other very well - seems their "love" was based on the Fates prophesy and that's about it. It was kind of interesting to find out the Fates' fate in this book, but the plot just never seemed to really GO anywhere. It plodded along until it just came to an end. I was somewhat disappointed in Simply Irresistable (the book before this one) and I think I was even more disappointed in this one.

charming fantasy romance,

This review is from: Absolutely Captivated (Paperback)
Los Angeles based accountant Travers Kineally wants to refuse the entreaty of the three dingbats who suddenly haunt him. However, though he can say no to the frantic females, he cannot deny his eleven year old son Kyle who persuades him that the quintet should journey to Las Vegas in order to help the nutty threesome regain whatever they seemingly misplaced.Vegas based private investigator Zoe Sinclair figures she has seen it all in her century and half as a mage especially since becoming a sleuth. However, Zoe will soon learn she is a rookie when it comes to life's ironies. Her lesson is taught to her by her new clients, the three whacko Fates (Lachesis, Atropos, and Clitho) who have lost their enchanted status. To regain their former eminence the trio must locate a lost magical artifact. Protecting the three zanies from their millenniums of enemies is a full time job in of itself, but alas poor Zoe knows her fate and does not like it one iota though she finds the cynical Travers quite attractive. Fans of fantasy romances will find ABSOLUTELY CAPTIVATED SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE due to the return of the chaotic causing trio. The lead couple is a delightful pair with both suffering from skepticism amplified by love. Though his son is very precocious (he is only eleven) readers will be Completely Smitten by the amusing antics of the Three Fates. Harriet Klausner
