From Publishers Weekly

Romance blooms on a magical island that is linked to the legend of King Arthur in this fanciful, light historical. When Anthony Hartstone, third earl of Pentargon, attempts to sell Abandon, an island off the shores of Cornwall, he must face Morweena Halliwell, a sassy young woman who reportedly possesses mystical powers. Morweena appeals to Anthony to leave the island undisturbed in order to protect the fish and flower businesses that support the island's residents, but he has already made a deal with the powerful Marquess of Camelbourne to hand over the island in exchange for the Marquess's political support ensuring that Anthony's child-labor reform measures are passed. As Anthony awaits the marquess's arrival, he begins to experience Abandon's magic. Flowers bloom out of season, rainbows light up the sky and a raven warns islanders of impending danger. Even more enchanting is the spirited Morweena, whose quest for King Arthur's cave draws her closer to Anthony and to the evil forces that threaten to tear them apart. With so much going on in so few pages, it's easy for the reader to become dazed by the narrative's hurried pace and many plot turns, but Hunter's (Indiscretion, etc.) charming characters and perky dialogue overshadow this flaw. Agent Andrea Cirillo.

Book Description

The English island called Abandon, enshrouded in ancient legend, has been home to warriors as well as enchanting women -- and none more spellbinding than lovely Morwenna Halliwell. Determined to fight when Abandon is offered to the highest bidder, Morwenna confronts the enemy: the Earl of Pentargon, Anthony Hartstone -- or "Lord Heart-of-Stone" as she indignantly calls him. Yet little does Morwenna realize she will soon be forced to marry the forbidding lord who holds her future in his strong hands.

Anthony arrogantly dismisses Morwenna and her litany of complaints against him -- all the while drawn to her beauty and courage. But when danger confronts Morwenna, Anthony knows he must call upon all his power to protect the innocent miss he desires. It is up to him to unmask the villain who threatens her, and also to convince his bride that he is not her opponent -- but her most passionate and devoted admirer. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Magic, mayhem and Merlin can be found in this new jem., Juil 8 2001
Par Affaire de Coeur (Oakland, CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Abandon (Paperback)
Anthony is seen as a villain by the people of Abandon Island. His brother, who lived on the island, recently died, and Anthony is selling Abandon to a powerful politician in return for certain child labor laws to be pushed in Parliament. Morwenna is a resident of the island. She fears the advent of new ownership. The new owner's hunting lodge will be built over old standing stones, and the traffic of his friends will destroy the fishing industry and leave some two hundred people without work. Morwenna's father was an Arthurian scholar, and she is trying to complete the manuscript he was working on before his death. She is also looking for Merlin's cave, rumored to be on the island. And all the while, she is trying to talk Anthony out of selling the island while trying to ignore her attraction too him... not too successfully.... Morwenna is a fabulous character with her many cats and her belief in magic. You'll believe, too.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A magical masterpiece!, Mai 29 2001
This review is from: Abandon (Paperback)
Anthony Hartstone, third Earl of Pentargon, went to Abandon only to clear out the belongings of his deceased brother. Anthony was in the middle of selling the island to the Marquess of Camelbourne, who would move in at the end of the month. Once done, the Marquess would become a powerful political ally for Anthony and would ensure Anthony's child labor reform measures would be passed.

Morwenna Halliwell was a descendant of Morgan le Fay, the Enchantress. Abandon was enshrouded in legends that all who lived there believed. The people looked to Morwenna to change Anthony's mind about selling Abandon. The plans of the Marquess would scare off all the fish and the villagers would starve.

At first, all believed Anthony to be cold. None knew he could not stop the sell without killing hundreds or thousands of children. Not even when he fell under Morwenna's innocent spell; or was it a spell from another source? There was a raven that warned of danger and considered to be King Arthur. Lilies were pulled up by their roots only to grow back within minutes. Fairies and Wee People seemed to be everywhere. A strange book with messages and an even stranger white cat kept appearing and disappearing with odd timing. There was a self proclaimed dark sorcerer to cause trouble, strange sounds and sightings, and dark mists that were so thick you could not see your hand in front of your face! Between all the odd things going on and his attraction to Morwenna, Anthony never stood a chance!

***** I do believe that Jillian Hunter could be an Enchantress herself! Here she has taken the legends surrounding King Arthur and created a magical masterpiece that could convert any non-believer! Awesome tale!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Exciting Mystical Romance, Mai 19 2001
Par Sheri Melnick (Enola, PA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Abandon (Paperback)
Anthony Hartstone, Earl or Pentargon, has inherited the island of Abandon from his brother Ethan. He decides to sell Abandon to the Marquess of Camelbourne in exchange for Camelbourne's support for legislation to change child labor laws. Morwenna Halliwell, thought by some to be an enchantress, pleads with Anthony not to sell Abandon, believing that the new owner would destroy the livelihood of the islanders.

Anthony becomes enamored with Morwanna and the two are forced to marry. Morwenna continues her search for King Arthur's cave in her effort to finish her late father's book, as mysteries and legends abound.

Mysticism, romance, and mystery are all packed into this wonderful novel. The relationship between the hero and heroine is exciting, starting as an attraction and evolving into a stronger love when both realize that they are not enemies after all. The supporting players are wonderful and add much to the fantasy and suspense elements of the book. A MUST READ
